This Would Have Changed My Life If I Had Known...

[@flippingmomof5514]

The end of the video got me... Little gal here! My family is, well was one income. I'm unable to work. We have 5 kids. It had gotten to the point that I was extreme budgeting (we're talking less than a dollar a meal for 7 people...) and we were desperate.. Guess what? Thanks to eBay (and awesome reseller content creators), my kids had Christmas. Probably the best Christmas to date. ❤️ Thanks for your knowledge, Josh! We appreciate you.

Imagine how many lives you've changed! When my fiancé and I lost our jobs at the beginning of the pandemic it was so depressing and scary until we found you and WBK. Now we have some control over our lives again. It doesn't pay all the bills yet but we're digging ourselves out and I'll never be able to thank you enough for what you've given us. We're even in a better place mentally than when we were working mediocre jobs and we're so thankful to have survived this hard time and come out stronger. I know KZbin is a ton of work but thank you for putting in the effort to help all of us. You are appreciated more than you know.

Hey brother, I have been to this particular goodwill multiple times. The only thing I look for is broken jewelry. A lot of times, at the very bottom of these bins I will find broken chains, and crushed rings. I've managed to find $200 worth of jewelry about a month ago. Like quarter pieces of gold chains. Look deep, I promise it's worth it. I walked away only paying like $1 for $200 in gold and silver. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Hello from Augusta, GA by the way!!!

[@gwendorphins7]

How can you tell its real

[@TheAccidentalViking]

It's interesting to note that physics is at play as to where things end up resting in the bins. Large light stuff ends up on the top and small heavy things settle to the bottom. In physics we call this 'granular convection' or 'The Brazil Nut Effect'.

This is how I started selling on ebay. When my husband and I first moved in together we had $25 a month to spend on food for the month. I learned how to use coupons and I started selling, what we now call retail arbitrage, hot wheel cars and pez dispensers for extra cash. That was over 20 years ago. Recently got back into reselling when I had the last daughter who is medically fragile. Love all the great information you and others like you provide. Thanks for encouraging others!

Josh I’ve been watching for a few months now and this has been my favorite video you’ve done. Sharing your story about having $9 to work with and how doing this work could be life changing is so true and inspirational.

So, I already enjoyed your videos but I really have so much respect for what you said about making every penny stretch. I've been there! There were times where we had enough to buy a loaf of bread and peanut butter to make it through the week. When you emerge from challenging situations like that, it changes the way you think about money, value, and time. I admire your ability to be fully honest and give a hand up to those who are there now. I wish I had known what I know now about reselling all those years ago. Thank you for BEING THE GOOD in this world and paying it forward. You are helping so many people!

I am SO glad I found your channel last spring over quarantine. I have been a part time reseller since 2003, but am always looking to learn new things & see how fellow resellers do things. I honestly think the reason your channel is growing so rapidly is because of the relatable aspect you bring to the table. I feel like anyone from any walk of life can appreciate your hustle. Looking forward to your next video and I know you will pass 100K in no time! Thanks for all you do Josh!

It’s crazy to think I first started reselling during the lowest point of my life literally just to keep the lights on... now reselling is the highlight of every single day and my full time job. It only took one sale and one KZbin video to change my life. I’m just thankful the first video I stumbled upon was yours! Thanks so much for everything you taught me!

[@harleyangie]

I understand completely. eBay has really helped me pay my bills. Without it, I’d be stressed to the point of panic attacks. Lately I’ve been flipping used sewing machines. They cost me $7 or so, need a good cleaning, a $5 part, a new needle and I sell them locally within a day or two for $150-$200. Even found a repair course on youtube for free. I’m diversified and ready to handle whatever the economy throws at me.

Amen brother. No one understands that unless they’ve been there. I remember when I first started working from home in college and was making $200 a week. I was stoked.

The first item you picked up at the bins that you showed was a decent winner for weight. The green Tupperware canister. Not the best of colors or price but not heavy and could sell for $5-10.

I was 18 or 19 when I moved out on my own and no roommates. I literally ate 10 for a dollar ramen noodles for weeks and months. I literally would gag as I ate it towards the end. I finally couldn't swallow it anymore. I would bring cold already cooked noodles to my job. I still can't eat them 20 years later and my kids love them. I think they are disgusting and very unhealthy, but the wife buys them for our kids. When I was a bit older and a little more money I was able to figure out that I could eat a fried egg sandwich really cheap, .99 cents a bag salad with just balsamic, a sort of meatloaf, and lentils/chickpeas/recaito/rice and only spend like 10-15 dollars a week. I worked like 70 hours a week plus 10 to 15 hours of driving. I had like zero body fat because on my down time I would swim laps during the day and jog when I got out of work around 3 a.m. and eventually did a triathlon.

One of my best sales was the first ever L'oreal Christmas flyer, and it shipped to Europe, but that whole deal was a 5.00 purchase, turned into 2500.00 and I still have 1/2 the box of magazines 20 years later. I am disabled now and raising 2 grandchildren, I'm going all in now. I appreciate the way you explained it, using your own struggle and being honest.

Great fines with just your $4.00 that would provide your profits. Yes, with only $9.00 can be tough as a single person and I understand what you went through but being a single parent with a child was very hard. Wish I had that opportunity back then as well. Continue being you and teaching others how one can press on forward. Thanks Josh, for your transparency and honesty!

I couldn't stop looking at that poor otter laying on his back in the corner of that gross bin. Poor guy. Hope he found a good home. 🤣

This video was collected! This is the reason I stared reselling. I'm a blind disabled person. I love doing this.

Great video as always!! Kevin is a great dude. The enamen will bring more great sales. Bless you bro

[@dfreak01]

He'll get things moving!

[@duelbuster123]

I really appreciate the way you explain every single thing for people who might be struggling with their lives. Most resellers would keep those details with themselves as a part of the business.

Trimming ounces of tape and poly to save pounds of shipping! Love it.

Great end of video advice on flipping low cost (quality) stuff for profit to meet expenses. Just be smart about what you buy - research sold comps (comparative items) before pulling trigger. You want items that will sell quickly - not long tail items you have to hold onto for a while.

so true! so hard to scale up for us little guys.

[@HairyTornado]

Sell the little stuff to get some capital, the get into bigger flips.

[@juliafranziska9747]

Your little speech at the end of the video was iconic. I love your videos and you‘re such a nice person. Please never change.

[@kevintakach6984]

my wife and i have fairly solid careers and have managed to carve out a nice life for ourselves so far, but i am so envious of the picking/reselling lifestyle. i have days where i feel absolutely trapped at my job and that i could be so much happier doing anything else. i watch videos like this all the time and daydream about one day having the stones to jump in. i have a fairly well-known youtube picker living 5 minutes away from me that i'm always seeing at thrift stores, so the market is pretty cornered here! keep up the good work, folks!

Start little by little. Follow your heart. The successful guy cant catch everything. There must be a reason you have a nudge from the universe to scavenge! Do baby steps.

Thanks for the global shipping info. I've sold 5-6 items global. I had no idea they opened and repacked it. I appreciate it.

I’m surprised you don’t use USPS Priority Mail Legal Flat Rate Envelope. Have you used those before? There a bit cheaper then padded but they can hold soooo much more

[@HairyTornado]

I've used them in the past but I like the bubbles

[@phxjaguar5207]

So love using those. I almost always find a proper sized box for each of the sizes to use inside as well. Of course the 1096 and I also had a computer shop save some cases of the empty keyboard plain brown boxes after they did business installs. They are easy to modify. Also good for things such as dvd sets, games, and some books

[@teribryan8444]

Just recently came across you YT channel. I subscribed immediately. Been watching daily since the. I really enjoy watching your videos, humility and pleasantries with all those you come into contact with. It's really uplifting and encouraging.

[@jennapapciak1559]

Yay daily dose of mose!!! Woohooo

[@designermuppetstring]

Great advice - I've been there too, only with a family. The struggle is real!!!
