This is What an eBay Seller Does All Day

[@Superkellydoll]

Hey I want to thank you for using the Post Office for your ebay business, I am a mail carrier of 13 years. We appreciate all our ebayers. We are required to scan a barcode when a package pick-up comes through and fill out how many we actually picked up. So if you or anyone you know is having issues with our package pickup please call your local post office and let them know. We pride ourselves on this feature. Please also keep in mind you must have your package pick up orders done the day before, they will not be printed out day of. Thank you for your amazing videos which I watch daily and your business. -13 year rural mail carrier Cambridge MD

I had the post office pick up, no problems, but I like to get out and especially with the gals at Jensen Drive Station in H-town. They are all awesome and put up with me and my twin brothers BS. LOL. I love them all. I just wish the customers would learn to park and not take handicap parking from people that need it. The Hadley store is just the opposite, grouchy unprofessional people. Especially the Vietnamese and old black lady that talks down to customers. I complained about them and nothing was done, because a few fellow ebay sellers say they still talk down to them if they take more than 3 and don't have a scan sheet. They do not realize, we print out a label, then may do another one later, and another later. We do not all wait to do at one time, this causes confusion.

[@EagleLogic]

Appreciate what you guys do over at USPS. I come in six days a week to drop off my ebay packages and the staff at my local post office are so damn friendly. Treats me like family!

[@Nemod6989]

If you want free boxes, hit up a Walmart at night time when they're doing all the stocking. Ask one of the stockers if you can have their boxes.

[@spaladon]

True, I work in a large retailer, we have tons of boxes. If you come in in the evening, a few hours before the store is closing ~6pm just ask a manager, if the boxes can be repurposed that's awesome, just don't ask if you can use them for moving house if the store sells moving boxes hahaha

[@LacedBacon]

damn good idea!

[@shaniawilkinson7620]

Yeah our Hy-vee always has them out back and all you have to do is ask.

[@adamk1616]

what’s up:) Was wondering if you knew any software i could upload products with a URL and then import the Info to my ebay? thanks guys🤴🏽

[@Mr.Kent65]

Am i the only one freaked out by wher he got his boxes?

[@Noah-tq7bi]

Was nice to see a day in the life. Easily one of the best resellers on youtube. It’s inspiring!

[@cincinnatipicker]

Thanks Noah!

[@matthewkruse234]

Not one of the best, THE best!

[@merlinparache1681]

While saving money, you also brought another use to the box. Being environmentally friendly! I thank you for that.

[@louistroche5830]

Ive never seen such clean dumpsters

[@bigdisme5622]

Damn BOSS, you did well on the trains, paid 40, sold for 312 bucks :). Good job!

[@kabba4575]

He relisted them

[@MrBlackspoon]

@@kabba4575 what does relisting do?

[@MrSaurus]

@@MrBlackspoon relisting is when you put something back up for sale

[@barkeymccheesepants7524]

OMG!! Your babies are so doggone adorable!!! You have been blessed, my friend.

[@cincinnatipicker]

I certainly have :)

[@plocky401]

Wtf is doggone

[@johnny_chouinard]

If am I am ever blessed enough to become a father I hope I can be a good as father and husband you are...

[@cincinnatipicker]

Thanks for the kind words John, really appreciate that.

[@kellyfitzgerald3224]

Recycling the boxes is brilliant!! Thank you!!!

[@98sevensix]

Thanks for the box re-sizer tip! I've been scoring my boxes with a box cutter in order to fold them but it's never a straight line. Thanks again!

[@RetroSho]

Wow, thanks for the video. I got so many tips for my own eBay reselling game. You're a legend, man!

[@barryschrock9041]

Enjoy your videos. FYI We have lived in Pa & Fl when we need boxes we call Walmart and at night when they are restocking the shelves they will fill a cart and put our name on it for pickup at customer service at no cost. All different sizes. Saves a bunch of time.

[@Harddrive56]

Thanks for all you do to bring us along with you and giving us glimpses into your family life. Your viewers DO appreciate it...You do an awesome job!

[@TamsPlace]

This was an awesome vid John! Some people think the only thing resellers do is buy stuff cheap and flip it quick. The amount of work involved with reselling is ALOT, not to mention family life! Thank you for making this video and good luck with the train set!😉

[@hagsag460]

John, I love seeing this side of reselling! You should do more of these where you show what sold and and your process of shipping/ listing and taking inventory of product/ showing how to ship, kind of like Lonnie! Love the videos man, keep up the good content!

[@TheNewAmericanMedia]

agreed.

[@melindafullerton6371]

Love the video!!! I think one thing others don’t get that work 9-5 is resellers are alone most of the day without coworkers. Which can be good and bad. I miss just chatting , lunch, and that with others but I love having my own schedule. You will love it when your kids are a bit older. You’ll be able to be at every school activity. It’s the best!!!

[@sarrieatkinson2990]

Sawyer is the cutest baby ever. watch every video. you are more organized than you realize. inspiring a lot of people to do what you do. also very smart to have key in hand ready to open door. peace from pa

[@andrewsssx]

I gotta say, I enjoy progress updates for the new fulfillment center, and seeing the day to day. More of these please.

[@oneacrehomestead1776]

Your inventory is so organized. I hate looking for items all over the place when they sell. Thanks for the tips

[@kasandrabrown8611]

Sawyer is the cutest baby ever. Darcy too. Also those trains are valuable. Worth checking

[@diannholland]

I found an INTERESTING source for boxes at my Community College! The book store has a box bin right next to the parking garage. A Bin EXPRESSLY for the boxes from the books and other things that they get in. all saved, all ready to be taken away, close to my car. AWESOME!

[@spunkhead]

awesome video, you know your craft really well.... been buying on ebay since 2003...and you are definitely one of the best....

[@casstelles]

As a collector and occasional buyer of model trains, it's best to sell train sets complete versus by the piece. Many collectors like to seek out the whole set with a box even if the box is in fair condition. This also goes for a lot of the O gauge train pieces like Lionel or Marx. A boxed piece will have more value than a loose piece. You might want to keep this as future tip when finding these items. Also, here's another tip on O gauge trains. Individual track pieces don't sell very well due to new track availability. If you find just a box of straight or curved O gauge tracks (excluding crossing pieces or switches), it may be best to pass on it due its low return on profit unless there is some other interesting pieces in the box.

[@metalmyke1]

Go to a Dollar Tree. You can get a 4-8 pack of AAs and AAAs for a buck.

[@358kasey]

Those don't contain as much power.

[@metalmyke1]

358kasey yes they do. I have them last just as long as any other brand.

[@Thefrugalgal]

Dollar Tree batteries are terrible they do not last very long.

[@metalmyke1]

Try again foo!

[@stonycreekpicker1385]

Good score on the boxes. When I first started reselling I went to Home Depot, not any more. Free is always better.

[@jamesrichards3012]

Love the new place. Looks like it will really workout well. Especially with the bonus storage units to help with those short term needs for more space after a big buy.

[@brandonmckittrick2822]

I sell items on ebay as my side job and it has been very profitable. I get my boxes and wrapping paper from my local hobby lobby every Thursday. Its been a nice little income every month. All the money I make goes into my savings account. Every little bit adds up over time. I get most of my merchandise from yard sales, goodwill, dumpster diving, roadside trash from neiborhoods.

[@luiscardona1495]

Wow, that was really nice of you for sharing your daily life. It was definetly appreciated and motivating. From Puerto Rico, thank you. Beautiful fam.

[@ivgondef4408]

Ship usps, schedule them To pick it up for free at your house. Saves tons of time.

[@ivgondef4408]

Unique SP we live in a rural area. We got it approved by the post office to put a large deck box by our mail box and they pick them up from there, no need to be home but it might be different since you are in a big city.

[@codyc4694]

Hey John. I use the yard sale app. I optimize my route on the app itself. Didn’t know if you knew you could or not. The only downside is it has limited options. For instance, creating your last destination. if i want the app to route me from my house, to the sales and back to my house, I actually have to be AT my house. I don’t think there is a custom destination option. Just throwing that out there. Enjoying the videos! Keep it up!

[@cincinnatipicker]

Thanks for the tip Cody!

[@rowebil00]

6:15 it depends if you have a carrier. If so, they sometimes will leave the packages at the house instead of carrying them around with them until they get back to the truck. If so, they will then drive to your house and pick them up. Sometimes they forget... and others just don't care to pick them up because again, they have to carry them until they get back to the truck.

[@chantalserrano730]

I'm glad you decided to keep the train set together, I'm sure you made one gentleman very happy and if I remember correctly he said it was 75 years old. You made my heart very happy. I hope the person who gets it next keeps it for another 75 years 😅

[@jermeycampbell7010]

[@Gary_Le_Strange]

I be fortunate in that there are 4 city cardboard recycling dumpsters about 4 blocks away and 3 more about 10. If I can't find what I need at one, it's often at the other.

[@juliekmunden]

Ditto for me too. #freeboxes

[@jewelm1042]

Wow, awesome idea to dumpster dive for boxes! I'm gonna do that too from now on. Thanks 🤩

[@deadkid2012]

you just brought a whole new game to my ebay life with that box resizer

[@GoodAttitudesServices]

I once went to an estate sale when it was about to close and there was still a ton of stuff . I arrived with my box truck . The seller was tired and just wanted to go home . He offered me everything for free and even helped load my truck . There was a lot of good resale items . I may try that again

[@EagleLogic]

3:09 As a video game reseller seeing that game got me stoked. Any NBA street game I list sells within a couple days and always a nice return. Great video!

[@djmiklethun]

Nice to see the train auction doing well already. (18 bids when I looked.) Since there’s clearly lots of interest, I think you’d benefit from more closeup photos of the cars, especially the engine.

[@1958darkstar]

Just subscribed. Love the mellow,nice way you do your vids.😃👍🏻

[@JaggedToothTackle]

Love your vids. I've been selling on eBay for years (online tackle store) but just started flipping - no idea about the box resizer before and love the yard sale app -- huge time saver!

[@treasurehunt7812]

I'm so fortunate to have a box manufacturer near me. They are huge and often have 'defective' boxes for 15 - 30 cents. I usually stock up on a range of those.

[@michellecastaneda4104]

I don't understand why I don't see your videos anymore. I had to look for this one

[@CursingJerry]

Most stores, even ones with big trash compactors will typically give you as many cardboard boxes as you want if you ask, Walmarts especially if it's the morning after a truck, they'll have a ton of spare boxes lying around waiting to get crushed.

[@ladyhawthorne1]

Thank you for dumpster diving for boxes, keeping them out of the landfill for at least one more use!

[@mellaw812]

Funny story... I was riding with my uncle 2 weeks ago and I was talking about getting into reselling and mentioned you and your videos. I've been following you for a couple months now but haven't taken the plunge to sell anything yet. While I was on this ride, he pointed out where his vacuum shop was. I told him that it looked a lot like where your warehouse was. Well, this video shows his van in the parking lot so I was right! Small world!

[@Jeff-ei5yc]

Wow, the train auction is off the rails. :)

Hello!I have recently acquired my friends book business of around 60+/- BOXES that I agreed to sell for her family as she took her own life about a year back. I currently have about 31 books posted, 16 sold and 8 unsold, with a few hundred dollars made that I send straight to her family. I haven't ever sold much online, and don't know diddly-squat about books so I was HOPING you and your fan base here could toss a few pointers my way so I can successfully continue on her business at least through the selling of every box, and maybe continue on my own sales if I chose to do so at the end of all this... Thank you so much for your time and videos ❤from Colorado, Sarah

You are a brave man shipping glass without packing peanuts, i have had some really bad luck back years ago shipping glass items wrapped in padded wrap or bubble wrap, I always use a good layer of bubble wrap and then packing peanuts for the void area, on large glass items i use that method plus double box. But for that item it might not mater because its Pyrex lol, Pyrex it tough. I keep telling people one of the biggest expenses for lots of resellers is boxes/packing materials, thats why i get lots of stuff for free specially boxes and air pillows. Great video pretty typical life of a reseller haha thanks for sharing
