Hello Jessie-- Like a good sniper or mortar man....I appreciate your cool & calm (click-click) responses/ replies to negative commentors, and the way you typically deal with sellers Your military training serves you well, dude-- ! If I have my history right...I believe it was a famous WWII commander-in-chief(?) that said something about - 'walking softly and carrying a big stick'? In buying & reselling, I see the 'big stick' as.... 'knowledge & a wallet ($)' For most 'deals'...I agree,... 2 adults agree to a price = a solid deal. Basically, out in the 'buy & re-sell jungle'....It's Seller beware or...Seller does not really care...or...Seller needs to do their research! lol Lots of sellers are not equipped and/ or have no desire to deal with the: work/ hassles/ fees of re-selling this stuff on-line, which takes hours-- So, they sell a load quickly, for fast cash, often at a wholesale price.... OK, So, If that Disney transaction took an hour of seller's time, he got $800. (yes, the seller indicated that it took a lot of time & money to acquire the Disney lot, but-- it really nothing to do with you, being the buyer, on that day) Well, I'm guessing it probably took something like, at least 30-40 hours, all-in, for you to sell everything, for the $1,852 you made, which comes out to about $50/ per hour- I sell on-line too,... But, given the choice....I would rather be the wholesaler, who sells a load 'quickly' for a smaller profit, per-piece, to an on-line re-seller...and... let the re-seller spend hours,etc., selling each item, for a higher $ return. 2nd comment--- Regarding taking Google or ebay photos, in front of a seller.... Here is an easy technique to prevent offending a yard-seller or a commentor below.... 1) First-- It doesn't hurt to 'ask' seller if it's ok to take a photo(s)... it is a kind of a nice ice-breaker...of course 99.9% reply from seller is 'yes. sure' 2) While taking the google or ebay photo, you say..."I 'shop' for others, so I'm going to send the pic(s) to... brother/ cousin/ biz-partner/ or neighbor... 10-15 seconds later... you are deciding if it's a yes or a no, to buy it. --This is not being dishonest... it is simply a disarming tactic/ so no one gets 'offended'...--- Yes of course, a reseller shops for others, ....on-line and in-person, too! A re-seller also buys things that I will be splitting $ with a partner... And also buy gifts for others, etc. OR- Maybe keep it for myself ? ! 3) Besides,... WHO CARES WHAT I"M GOING TO DO WITH MY PURCHASE?!!! (Pssst....THE SELLER JUST WANTS THE CASH! ) Tax-free, no less! Lol So, why do some folks take these reselling things too personally and / or get negative? IDK!! As long as you are pleasant and polite, while seller & buyer agree on price = all should be good here. **--The goal here is to make win-win-win transactions--** (One thing I would have done a little differently--- When the seller forgot that he offered $30 price each for the whole bunch,....and yes, he checked with the relative, who said yes- $30 ... I would have slowed my roll, backed up a bit and just asked if the $30 he offered, was still OK...(99% of the time- the deal will stay, as was first agreed) And then I would add re-assurance/ reminder that... a) I'm buying a lot / you are getting rid of a lot b) I got cash c) I want this to be a win-win situation here) Oh-- Here is the proof that I was not being dishonest when I was taking pics of the yard sale stuff-- Yes,.. I will be sending pics to either; my brother/ cousin/ biz partner/ or neighbor,.... But, I will send the pics later, after I buy it, of course ! And hopefully, I will get their approval... ! I always send purchase pics to my peeps, to get their input, etc ! p.s.- Nice work on your adventure-picks/flips, soldier Jess! Nice job on the videos you produce! Keep up the good work, dude !

Very well said. I love that quote. You made some amazing points. Thanks for your feedback. Very long-winded lol, but very well thought out. Happy Thanksgiving. See you in the next one!
Haters gonna hate. As I said before, what you do couldn’t be more American. There is a middle man in every business. Ignore the haters. They’re just jealous.
My fiancé and I subscribe to your channel and others and I've never commented on any video before. First, thank you for your service. We have no problem with your negotiating skills. We get so angry that people are so clueless on how a free market economy works. They've been programmed to hate profit based businesses. Please don't feel you need to explain yourself to the haters. Keep up the good work in support of yourself and your family.
Well I appreciate you and your fiance for stopping by the channel. I don't feel "the need" to explain anything. Everything that comes out of my mouth is part of my business. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
One of the crazy things I had happen was I was at a yard sale chatting with the guy running it and I mentioned I collect movies and he said "Well I used to collect movies too, but I don't any more and I need space. So if you want them they are all yours." That guy gave me roughly 10,000 movies and tv series for free. Took me 3 trips to drive it all home.
Jess, You do this for a LIVING, haters don't ! You get your BEST price they are willing to sell at , that's business ! Last year at the coin show I bought a coin for $500 . He was asking $525 . I went down 2 Dealer tables and sold it 2 minutes later for a $275 profit ! This helps to make up some bad deals I have gotten also . But I don't do this for a FULL TIME JOB you do . DON'T EXPLAIN YOURSELF you don't have to . I watch another Picker show and they go to garage sales in Florida . Many Sellers are elderly and don't know what they have . They get GOLD jewelry for $2 -$ 5 that is worth multiple hundreds of that and don't think twice about it . KEEP TRUCKING MY BROTHER & HAPPY THANKSGIVING...
Some people are pushy trying to barter. You are very polite and if they don't accept your offer, you're still polite 0:02 and kind as you should be. There's no reason for anyone to hate on you. Sounds s like jealousy to me. I resell a little to pay for my hobby of yard sales lol Through the years I've had a few pretty good flips. An old recorder bought for a dime i sold for $80. An old hat stretcher bought for a quarter I sold for $160. $10 Rogers snare drum i bought for $10 & sold for $340. Vintage Christmas ornaments and vibtage perfumes are my favorite things to find though. Easy flips and great profit. Ignore the haters. They don't pay your bills...
Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. I enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
***POSITIVE COMMENT*** Great score. Don’t worry about negative comments. You can’t please everyone. You provide great videos. Thanks for sharing!! My first flip was one of my best. It was a VCR new in box. I paid $29. It sold for $500. No apologies. 😂 I recently bought 27 books at a yard sale for $10. One of them just sold for $250…I paid .37 ($10 divided by 27) You’re right. The hunt is the best part. Thanks Jesse!!
I found your Channel recently & I'm so glad. Don't ever let the haters get to you. There's always negative people no matter what job you're doing. At least you're working the haters probably aren't! Good luck to you. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your sweet family! 😊
UGH..... I truly don't understand the hatefulness of people. You keep doing what you do. I love your positivity about everything. And you are 100 percent right...... it' not their business. I hope you and the family had a great Thankgiving.
Thank you for your service to our country! Haters gonna hate on the sidelines while you're in the end zone. Keep doing what you do. I appreciate the videos! Happy Holidays!
Don't pay to much attention to what hatters say,sir.for me,while following you chaannel, you have always made very fair offers.in fact, in my personal opinion ,not many people would dare to take a deal as bold as you,escepially with a high nnominal value. Greeting from Indonesia🙏
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family! Keep doing what you’re doing because we love to watch your videos. Not sure why people feel impelled to pounce on every little thing…it is your business and $$ being invested, not theirs. I think you did great on that deal. You more than doubled your investment after fees and expenses. I don’t know if others realize how hard resellers work…it’s a lot of time, energy, manual labor, and money. My best flip was a $2 stuffed turtle I bought from GW that I knew was rare because of the maker. I was pretty happy to sell it for $269 within a couple of months!
Great Deal. These crazy people talking about how you conduct your business have NO CLUE about the life of a reseller. You are doing a great job and help inspire me.
I agree 100% with check everything before buying. I have been buying/selling comics for over 30 years and it is a fact that you must check before handing over the money. I've purchased a few comics where there was a detached page inside, water stain in the middle or staining on back cover. Some sellers do not disclose this and it affects the price drastically. Money doesn't grow on trees to be throwing it away on something you won't make your money back on at least.
Hi Jesse Just returned home from hospital after being mugged today .Got a huge gash in my head with 12 stitches. But you made a terrible day in South Africa better with another episode of TVF.
Awesome video! I can't remember if you factored in your time to package everything but trolls will be trolls. Great job and I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
There just pushing your buttons bro Keep up the good work. And you can pick up anything you want for your kids Haters are and will always be there What I do is ignore them It works Cheers
I absolutely Appreciate Your Hard Work & Your Episodes are Absolutely Stellar..Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving & Congratulations & Continued Success Cheers Ssgt. 🍻
Great video Jesse, I won’t be at Columbus tomorrow, hope you find some good stuff. My best find ever was two totes full of legos from the early 90’s and late 80’s. Some were brand new in box. I spent 800 and so far I’ve made over 5k and still counting.
Dude let me preface that your videos are great. Being out east with new york new jersey folks you gotta be tough and a little rough around the edges. That being said. Gotta have thick skin on you tube. You don't need to address every person who hates on you. It's kinda part of the deal when you put yourself out there. These people who don't resell don't understand and never will so screw em. Keep up the good work bro.
Looking at comps on your phones is part of the game. There are people who will ask for ridiculous prices waiting for that unsuspecting fool to screw over.
I don't think you watch a lot of resellers on RUclips. All of the resellers I watch, all of them use their phones in front of the sellers but... you share your information much more freely with the sellers. You are one of the nicest, most honest resellers on RUclips. INHO you're the most kind, most honest. Try not to worry about the criticism. It's the nature of the beast, there's always going to be someone that's going to pick you apart. You are actually giving resellers a good name one video at a time. Cheers
All a seller has to say is no, I say it all the time, I do my homework, the seller has the same opportunity to do their homework . And I totally agree, these trolls are not reselling, you and I both know the work involved, the risk of losing money involved, the listing, the shipping, eBay fees..etc.
Hello I really love your videos and content. People who are sitting at home and never even looked up a thing on EBAY. And the ones who just look up how much something cost on EBAY .really don’t know how much they cost people put up and price but that’s now how much they sale for.its a hard job reselling (ITS A JOB.NOT A HOBBY.Great deal keep up the good work.
Great scores again Jesse. 14:21 haters people are just simply jealous! when they see others making hard earn money. before retiring, I work w/ 400+ city workers. almost everyone knows I was a big buy /sell guy who's into everything especially cars/ motorcycles. so, many work O/T & I don't - I rather go home & do my thing like you & on weekends search to buy. you won't believe how many are envious of me. I tell them you can do the same - no one stopping you. but they are lazy & don't want to put in the work. Lol - people need to motivate themselves instead of being envy if you want to be the next millionaire next door.
500 bucks would been good deal 800 that’s a lot for those things was ok but theirs no way i would paid 8 but pretty cool dude that man would went cheaper no one would buy it unless he sold on line our would took him long time to sell it thats why he let it go quick he new it’s not going to sell in his front yard
What do you think your totals hours spent on these items were? From point of purchase to final shipment. Divide that by your profit. Also good for you, you found them at a Yard Sale so the gentleman was looking to move them, you worked the deal and both agreed and seemed happy with it. Nobody made him sell them. My best finds were actually old school BMX bikes, a pink 80’s GT performer at a thrift store for 5 bucks sold and shipped to Japan. A National Pro cruiser (1983) for 10 bucks at another thrift store went to a private collector in California and a Hutch Pro Racer ( 82-83 (pre serials number) and all Hutch components, at a garage sale for 10 bucks. I made a great return on those. "Hooah" Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Listing wasn't too bad (no more than 4 hours approximately). The rest shipping, customer service, ect. 2 hours. Nice score on the bikes. I used to love those old BMX bikes
Don't pay to much attentions to what haters say,sir.for me, while following your channel ,you have always made very fair offers.in fact,in my personal opinion,not many people whould dare to take a deal as bold as you. Especially with high nominal value. Greeting from indonesia❤❤
I run my money just like you man. If I can get something worth 1k, and the seller is asking $5 well that's what I'm gonna pay. No remorse....as a seller you should know what something is worth when going to sell it. Anyways I don't want to write a huge paragraph, but wanted to mention one of my best flips. I've been reselling for 15 years. Full time for just 3 now. Just this summer I walked into a goodwill. As passed the racks on the wall that they throw all the lunch boxes, wallets, little random bags in. I grabbed a huge bag like 8 lbs of what looked like gi joes, but it was double bags and really cloudy. It said $4.99. I didn't even think twice. I Figured even if they were modern or knock off joes it was worth it. Didn't think much of it until I got home. I kid you not it was hundreds of pieces of weapons, heads, arms, legs, torso. I still wasn't 100% sure what I was looking at. I was born in 86 so the joes I may of had were 90s. I google lens a couple, and I hit the jackpot. It had to of been someone's collection that passed away. Every single one was taken apart as to change out the O rings. Which I did lmao. Took me 2 weeks to get them all together. In the end it was every single joe released from 82-89 besides around 10 which I had but were broken or missing parts. Including all the straight arms, and color variations it was wild. Paid 4.99 and grossed around 7k.....but was worth waaaay more than that in Nostalgia. It was great
That's an amazing flip and story. Sometimes taking on a project can pay off huge (like your situation or like buying a storage unit). Sometimes, projects can be a huge waste of time when it comes to reselling. Sounds like it worked out amazing for you. Thanks for sharing
@TheVeteranFlipper I've still yet to bid on a storage unit. I remember my dad getting some when I was young like 12 or 13. I can only imagine what goodies were in there lol I know what you mean about projects too. Often I spend way too much time trying to fix up things only to make it worse haha then it sites taking up space. Trying to be more meticulous with what I pick up
I just started watching you recently and I thought you did a great job . I really like watching your videos. my thoughts are when someone is a collector and they are ready to let go of some of it unless they sell to another collector they are not going to get price they actually paid. a reseller is going to buy a collection like that and there has to be room for profit, just my thoughts on it. can you tell me what state you are from
my best flip was a JBW watch couple months ago, i found it at goodwill in a bag full of watches for 18cad$ and it retails for 995usd$, i sold it for 550cad$
Oh you are fine! I have seen many other videos of other resellers paying $1 for things that they list for $100+ . Also you just document all your finds - I would like to see others that - especially collectors and/or resellers get that deal and see if they try to pay top dollar - yeah I don't think they would - they would pay or maybe even bargain further down than you did. Besides - good job - that guy got $800 - no work, no mess!
Good for you, why do people think you need to apologize or feel bad, your not ripping someone off if you both agree. He didn't seem upset or angry after the deal. Besides if you didn't get that deal the next person would have.
I'm not going to quickly recommend that to anyone. I think as soon as you're making enough to live off of reselling on the side (and you did that consistently).
Great job it’s all about making money if the person you’re dealing with is happy with the deal that’s all that matters. Quit letting the haters rent space in your head. This is how you feed your family.
As a reseller I have one question to ask. Why do you give a flying shyt about haters or jealous people that have a 9-5 job. 😂😂😂 I love your videos and your scores. People say on eBay it is selling for not it sold for. My husband is a veteran I spent time overseas with him. Your attitude is why I watch your straight forward and honest don’t care if you like it reminds me of my husband. You lose some big mouth uneducated viewers SO WHAT. Keep doing you. My best find in the wild was a reel to reel new in the box. Gotta love the haters 😂😂😂
Jesse, you’re doing a great job taking care of you and your family do me a favor. Don’t give so much time and effort to these idiots making stupid comments. God bless you and your family brother.😊 16:4916:49
Great deal between 2 adults! Isn't that was garage sale hunting is for? The shopper is looking for the bargain and the person selling the items are looking to get rid of them. If the seller wanted top dollar then they could have did the work to sell online. It was a win/win... Some people are just born to complain...
You will get better the more you do it. I watch other RUclipsrs to get ideas of what to look for and it also helps to get out there in the wild and start hunting lol
Imagine going to Mcdonalds & giving them MORE money for a #2 just because OTHER ppl think it's worth more than $10. People are just dumb asses that think like that. Hopefully they dont resell because they def arent sucessful at it.
Jesse, been going to say this for months....you focus and explain and criticize the negative comments. I don't care what people say and you don't either. You know how to run your business. You are coming off way too defensive. Answer these people by message NOT on the video with a dark cameo inset screen. We just want to watch you find, buy and sell. You are letting a bunch of shut-in wannabees bug you and are ruining our experience. You are getting more paranoid about neg comments. I would drop that content. I think you can see that no matter how fair you are and no matter what you do, they find a way to get under your skin. IGNORE IT. Present a happier attitude that you enjoy what you are doing, move along. Buy low, sell hi.....or don't do that business. you are supporting your family and trying to improve yourself. You are in an American Freedom Business. An entreprenuer doing commerce that is 3000 years old. The honest way. Everybody wants to find something cheap that is worth a lot of money....so.........where's the beef? The education, the search and research, risk, win-loss, filming the friggin thing, storing, packaging, marketing.Family day. It all takes work and continued education. Trash the nay sayers, they know nothing. Social media is full of those people on every issue. Don't give them their 5 min of fame.
You are such a better man than I am because I would’ve told these people that wants to come on and make their comments to kiss my ass I don’t blame you for trying to get things as cheap as you can because I’ll do the same thing I’m not got your brains to be able to do what you do One of them guys that works 9 to 5 and then 5 to 10 Iyou’re making it you quit
why do you always worry so much about what someone else says, you react strongly you can't handle comments. then you shouldn't go on youtube then you get good and bad reactions
Oh I can that's why I keep doing it! There was obviously another motive with making this video! I welcome all critism. I know that there are people that can't help but be miserable

Hello Jessie--
Like a good sniper or mortar man....I appreciate your cool & calm (click-click) responses/ replies to negative commentors, and the way you typically deal with sellers
Your military training serves you well, dude-- !
If I have my history right...I believe it was a famous WWII commander-in-chief(?) that said something about - 'walking softly and carrying a big stick'?
In buying & reselling, I see the 'big stick' as.... 'knowledge & a wallet ($)'
For most 'deals'...I agree,... 2 adults agree to a price = a solid deal.
Basically, out in the 'buy & re-sell jungle'....It's Seller beware or...Seller does not really care...or...Seller needs to do their research! lol
Lots of sellers are not equipped and/ or have no desire to deal with the: work/ hassles/ fees of re-selling this stuff on-line, which takes hours--
So, they sell a load quickly, for fast cash, often at a wholesale price....
OK,
So, If that Disney transaction took an hour of seller's time, he got $800.
(yes, the seller indicated that it took a lot of time & money to acquire the Disney lot, but-- it really nothing to do with you, being the buyer, on that day)
Well, I'm guessing it probably took something like, at least 30-40 hours, all-in, for you to sell everything, for the $1,852 you made, which comes out to about $50/ per hour-
I sell on-line too,...
But, given the choice....I would rather be the wholesaler, who sells a load 'quickly' for a smaller profit, per-piece, to an on-line re-seller...and... let the
re-seller spend hours,etc., selling each item, for a higher $ return.
2nd comment---
Regarding taking Google or ebay photos, in front of a seller....
Here is an easy technique to prevent offending a yard-seller or a commentor below....
1) First-- It doesn't hurt to 'ask' seller if it's ok to take a photo(s)... it is a kind of a nice ice-breaker...of course 99.9% reply from seller is 'yes. sure'
2) While taking the google or ebay photo, you say..."I 'shop' for others, so I'm going to send the pic(s) to... brother/ cousin/ biz-partner/ or neighbor...
10-15 seconds later... you are deciding if it's a yes or a no, to buy it.
--This is not being dishonest... it is simply a disarming tactic/ so no one gets 'offended'...---
Yes of course, a reseller shops for others, ....on-line and in-person, too!
A re-seller also buys things that I will be splitting $ with a partner...
And also buy gifts for others, etc.
OR-
Maybe keep it for myself ? !
3) Besides,...
WHO CARES WHAT I"M GOING TO DO WITH MY PURCHASE?!!!
(Pssst....THE SELLER JUST WANTS THE CASH! ) Tax-free, no less! Lol
So, why do some folks take these reselling things too personally and / or get negative? IDK!!
As long as you are pleasant and polite, while seller & buyer agree on price = all should be good here.
**--The goal here is to make win-win-win transactions--**
(One thing I would have done a little differently--- When the seller forgot that he offered $30 price each for the whole bunch,....and yes, he checked with the relative, who said yes- $30 ...
I would have slowed my roll, backed up a bit and just asked if the $30 he offered, was still OK...(99% of the time- the deal will stay, as was first agreed)
And then I would add re-assurance/ reminder that...
a) I'm buying a lot / you are getting rid of a lot
b) I got cash
c) I want this to be a win-win situation here)
Oh-- Here is the proof that I was not being dishonest when I was taking pics of the yard sale stuff--
Yes,.. I will be sending pics to either; my brother/ cousin/ biz partner/ or neighbor,....
But, I will send the pics later, after I buy it, of course ! And hopefully, I will get their approval... !
I always send purchase pics to my peeps, to get their input, etc !
p.s.-
Nice work on your adventure-picks/flips, soldier Jess!
Nice job on the videos you produce!
Keep up the good work, dude !

Vintage Christmas ornaments and vibtage perfumes are my favorite things to find though. Easy flips and great profit.
Ignore the haters. They don't pay your bills...
That is awesome. Amazing flips. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. I enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next video.

Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to your family as well.
***POSITIVE COMMENT***
Great score.
Don’t worry about negative comments. You can’t please everyone. You provide great videos. Thanks for sharing!! My first flip was one of my best. It was a VCR new in box. I paid $29. It sold for $500. No apologies. 😂
I recently bought 27 books at a yard sale for $10.
One of them just sold for $250…I paid .37
($10 divided by 27)
You’re right. The hunt is the best part.
Thanks Jesse!!
Those are some awesome scores. I found a few books in the past I have sold for amazing profit. They are definitely worth checking out
I found your Channel recently & I'm so glad. Don't ever let the haters get to you. There's always negative people no matter what job you're doing. At least you're working the haters probably aren't! Good luck to you. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your sweet family! 😊
Thank you very much! Happy Thanksgiving
That's awesome bro u hustling feeding ur fam ain't nobody going to do it for u ! Hooooa keep up the amazing videos!

Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family! Keep doing what you’re doing because we love to watch your videos. Not sure why people feel impelled to pounce on every little thing…it is your business and $$ being invested, not theirs. I think you did great on that deal. You more than doubled your investment after fees and expenses. I don’t know if others realize how hard resellers work…it’s a lot of time, energy, manual labor, and money.
My best flip was a $2 stuffed turtle I bought from GW that I knew was rare because of the maker. I was pretty happy to sell it for $269 within a couple of months!
Thank you, I appreciate that. Awesome flip. It's crazy what you can find out there in the wild lol, merry Christmas
Great Deal. These crazy people talking about how you conduct your business have NO CLUE about the life of a reseller. You are doing a great job and help inspire me.
Thank you very much. I hope you do well at whatever your heart desires
Keep doing what you do! 👏🏽👍🏽
Thank you.
I agree 100% with check everything before buying. I have been buying/selling comics for over 30 years and it is a fact that you must check before handing over the money. I've purchased a few comics where there was a detached page inside, water stain in the middle or staining on back cover. Some sellers do not disclose this and it affects the price drastically. Money doesn't grow on trees to be throwing it away on something you won't make your money back on at least.
I absolutely love your insight. You made very amazing points. The only one who is going to cover your own a** is yourself!
Hi Jesse Just returned home from hospital after being mugged today .Got a huge gash in my head with 12 stitches. But you made a terrible day in South Africa better with another episode of TVF.
That's terrible! I hope they get what they deserve. I hope you get better soon.
Awesome video! I can't remember if you factored in your time to package everything but trolls will be trolls. Great job and I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
That's right, there is a lot that goes into it
That was awesome! I would of left that bike if need be! 😂😂😂 But then again, I'm not the tetris champ! 😂
Testris champ, 3 years and counting. I can fit anything in that car haha
If i had your knowledge of finding awesome deals/finds I would love it.
Keep on doing what you do!!!
Go Army
Go Army!
I think you hit the Jackpot. !! Fantastic.
Thank you, I thought so too... but not quite lol
There just pushing your buttons bro
Keep up the good work.
And you can pick up anything you want for your kids
Haters are and will always be there
What I do is ignore them
It works
Cheers
Thanks for watching
He is a grown man and can say no to your offers. This is your job, you do you!
Thank you
I absolutely Appreciate Your Hard Work & Your Episodes are Absolutely Stellar..Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving & Congratulations & Continued Success Cheers Ssgt. 🍻
Thank you very much and Happy Thanksgiving. I hope all was well
Great video Jesse, I won’t be at Columbus tomorrow, hope you find some good stuff. My best find ever was two totes full of legos from the early 90’s and late 80’s. Some were brand new in box. I spent 800 and so far I’ve made over 5k and still counting.
That's awesome. It's definitely worth looking out for Legos. Nice score
Dude let me preface that your videos are great. Being out east with new york new jersey folks you gotta be tough and a little rough around the edges. That being said. Gotta have thick skin on you tube. You don't need to address every person who hates on you. It's kinda part of the deal when you put yourself out there. These people who don't resell don't understand and never will so screw em. Keep up the good work bro.
Oh I know. There is obviously another motive for making a video like this lol 😈
You are doing a job. You are very fair when you can. We have times we make money and times when we loose or even break even. keep doing you!!
Thank you for your support.
If both people agree on the price then it’s a good deal. It’s not like you made him take that price, he agreed on his own free will.
Amen. Thanks for watching
Looking at comps on your phones is part of the game. There are people who will ask for ridiculous prices waiting for that unsuspecting fool to screw over.
I absolutely agree
I don't think you watch a lot of resellers on RUclips. All of the resellers I watch, all of them use their phones in front of the sellers but... you share your information much more freely with the sellers. You are one of the nicest, most honest resellers on RUclips. INHO you're the most kind, most honest. Try not to worry about the criticism. It's the nature of the beast, there's always going to be someone that's going to pick you apart. You are actually giving resellers a good name one video at a time. Cheers
I appreciate that. There are some pretty generous Resellers out there.
Thank you feeling better
All a seller has to say is no, I say it all the time, I do my homework, the seller has the same opportunity to do their homework . And I totally agree, these trolls are not reselling, you and I both know the work involved, the risk of losing money involved, the listing, the shipping, eBay fees..etc.
I agree. Thanks for watching
Hello I really love your videos and content. People who are sitting at home and never even looked up a thing on EBAY. And the ones who just look up how much something cost on EBAY .really don’t know how much they cost people put up and price but that’s now how much they sale for.its a hard job reselling (ITS A JOB.NOT A HOBBY.Great deal keep up the good work.
Thank you very much
Great scores again Jesse. 14:21 haters people are just simply jealous! when they see others making hard earn money. before retiring, I work w/ 400+ city workers. almost everyone knows I was a big buy /sell guy who's into everything especially cars/ motorcycles. so, many work O/T & I don't - I rather go home & do my thing like you & on weekends search to buy. you won't believe how many are envious of me. I tell them you can do the same - no one stopping you. but they are lazy & don't want to put in the work. Lol - people need to motivate themselves instead of being envy if you want to be the next millionaire next door.
I absolutely agree. Thanks for your feedback
500 bucks would been good deal 800 that’s a lot for those things was ok but theirs no way i would paid 8 but pretty cool dude that man would went cheaper no one would buy it unless he sold on line our would took him long time to sell it thats why he let it go quick he new it’s not going to sell in his front yard
Very interesting point of view. Thanks for sharing
Best flip was a Champion igniter that sold in eBay for $1500. COGs was 30 cents. This was found in local swap meet.
That's amazing. It's crazy how valuable some things can be
Great video. Keep up the good work. US Navy vet here. I flip stuff online part time.
Found a early 1900s German Santa cardboard stand up . .paid $5 at a estate sale sold for $800
That's an awesome score! I always look out for old stuff like that!
What do you think your totals hours spent on these items were? From point of purchase to final shipment. Divide that by your profit. Also good for you, you found them at a Yard Sale so the gentleman was looking to move them, you worked the deal and both agreed and seemed happy with it. Nobody made him sell them. My best finds were actually old school BMX bikes, a pink 80’s GT performer at a thrift store for 5 bucks sold and shipped to Japan. A National Pro cruiser (1983) for 10 bucks at another thrift store went to a private collector in California and a Hutch Pro Racer ( 82-83 (pre serials number) and all Hutch components, at a garage sale for 10 bucks. I made a great return on those. "Hooah" Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Listing wasn't too bad (no more than 4 hours approximately). The rest shipping, customer service, ect. 2 hours. Nice score on the bikes. I used to love those old BMX bikes
Happy Thanksgiving
Great video!!!
Thanks, I appreciate that
Don't pay to much attentions to what haters say,sir.for me, while following your channel ,you have always made very fair offers.in fact,in my personal opinion,not many people whould dare to take a deal as bold as you.
Especially with high nominal value.
Greeting from indonesia❤❤
Thank you very much. I appreciate that very much
Great Job. 🎉
Thank you
I run my money just like you man. If I can get something worth 1k, and the seller is asking $5 well that's what I'm gonna pay. No remorse....as a seller you should know what something is worth when going to sell it. Anyways I don't want to write a huge paragraph, but wanted to mention one of my best flips. I've been reselling for 15 years. Full time for just 3 now. Just this summer I walked into a goodwill. As passed the racks on the wall that they throw all the lunch boxes, wallets, little random bags in. I grabbed a huge bag like 8 lbs of what looked like gi joes, but it was double bags and really cloudy. It said $4.99. I didn't even think twice. I Figured even if they were modern or knock off joes it was worth it. Didn't think much of it until I got home. I kid you not it was hundreds of pieces of weapons, heads, arms, legs, torso. I still wasn't 100% sure what I was looking at. I was born in 86 so the joes I may of had were 90s. I google lens a couple, and I hit the jackpot. It had to of been someone's collection that passed away. Every single one was taken apart as to change out the O rings. Which I did lmao. Took me 2 weeks to get them all together. In the end it was every single joe released from 82-89 besides around 10 which I had but were broken or missing parts. Including all the straight arms, and color variations it was wild. Paid 4.99 and grossed around 7k.....but was worth waaaay more than that in Nostalgia. It was great
That's an amazing flip and story. Sometimes taking on a project can pay off huge (like your situation or like buying a storage unit). Sometimes, projects can be a huge waste of time when it comes to reselling. Sounds like it worked out amazing for you. Thanks for sharing
@TheVeteranFlipper I've still yet to bid on a storage unit. I remember my dad getting some when I was young like 12 or 13. I can only imagine what goodies were in there lol I know what you mean about projects too. Often I spend way too much time trying to fix up things only to make it worse haha then it sites taking up space. Trying to be more meticulous with what I pick up
I just started watching you recently and I thought you did a great job . I really like watching your videos. my thoughts are when someone is a collector and they are ready to let go of some of it unless they sell to another collector they are not going to get price they actually paid. a reseller is going to buy a collection like that and there has to be room for profit, just my thoughts on it. can you tell me what state you are from
I appreciate your feedback. I am from upstate NY. Near Watertown/ fort drum area
my best flip was a JBW watch couple months ago, i found it at goodwill in a bag full of watches for 18cad$ and it retails for 995usd$, i sold it for 550cad$
That's an awesome flip. Definitely worth learning your watches
Best flip for me....cutco knives set of 5. Sold for 135. Paid 2.00
That's awesome. I never find cutco stuff. Awesome find
Awesome!
Thanks
Oh you are fine! I have seen many other videos of other resellers paying $1 for things that they list for $100+ . Also you just document all your finds - I would like to see others that - especially collectors and/or resellers get that deal and see if they try to pay top dollar - yeah I don't think they would - they would pay or maybe even bargain further down than you did. Besides - good job - that guy got $800 - no work, no mess!
I appreciate the feedback. Happy holidays
Good for you, why do people think you need to apologize or feel bad, your not ripping someone off if you both agree. He didn't seem upset or angry after the deal. Besides if you didn't get that deal the next person would have.
That's right! Thanks for watching
I’m tempted to do this full time cause all my friends say I’m good at it.
I'm not going to quickly recommend that to anyone. I think as soon as you're making enough to live off of reselling on the side (and you did that consistently).
@ I’ve been doing it with various items for the last 2 yrs cause I’ve been on disability due to a wreck with a semi bk in April 2023
Great job it’s all about making money if the person you’re dealing with is happy with the deal that’s all that matters. Quit letting the haters rent space in your head. This is how you feed your family.
They aren't. Just a video idea lol
As a reseller I have one question to ask. Why do you give a flying shyt about haters or jealous people that have a 9-5 job. 😂😂😂
I love your videos and your scores. People say on eBay it is selling for not it sold for. My husband is a veteran I spent time overseas with him. Your attitude is why I watch your straight forward and honest don’t care if you like it reminds me of my husband. You lose some big mouth uneducated viewers SO WHAT. Keep doing you.
My best find in the wild was a reel to reel new in the box. Gotta love the haters 😂😂😂
That's awesome. I used to buy and sell a lot more reel to reels. I would still buy them but just for the right price. Awesome score!
Jesse, you’re doing a great job taking care of you and your family do me a favor. Don’t give so much time and effort to these idiots making stupid comments. God bless you and your family brother.😊
16:49 16:49
It's all business. Thank you and I wish you the best!
And I do want to say thank you for your service people need to learn a little bit of respect
Thank you and thanks for watching
IF THE SELLER AGREE ON THE PRICE EVEN IF ITS 2$ FOR THE REMAINS OF THE TITANIC, IF THE SELLER SAY OKAY, ITS FINE.
You think that would fly with people. I'm sure people do that all the time. They just don't record it like I do haha
That was a good deal.
I thought so too.
Great finds. Hater gana hate! #jerseystrong
Amen! #Jerseystrong
You don’t have to apologize for negotiating at sales. You didn’t put a gun to anybody’s head to accept your offers
That's right. Thanks for the support
Great deal between 2 adults! Isn't that was garage sale hunting is for? The shopper is looking for the bargain and the person selling the items are looking to get rid of them. If the seller wanted top dollar then they could have did the work to sell online. It was a win/win... Some people are just born to complain...
Perfectly said. Love the comment
Man crazy finds man! These people commenting obviously don't know how to garage sale hunt lol
That's right! I agree
He was happy with $800 whats the problem?
No problem at all. We agreed on a deal
Give me a break to those who criticize you...... good find. Wish I was better a sourcing.
You will get better the more you do it. I watch other RUclipsrs to get ideas of what to look for and it also helps to get out there in the wild and start hunting lol
@@TheVeteranFlipper Thanks for the reply. Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving
everyone complaining about the 800$ being too low of an offer, and im like why do you use a sonata for garage sells buys 😂
I've never not been able to fit something I needed to in old blue!
Haters will be haters 😂get your money 💴
Lol that's right
Dam good deal
I think so too
Wow
Thanks
It’s how you make a living. They say you enjoy I do the same shit
That's right!
Imagine going to Mcdonalds & giving them MORE money for a #2 just because OTHER ppl think it's worth more than $10. People are just dumb asses that think like that. Hopefully they dont resell because they def arent sucessful at it.
I couldn't have said it better
You got some good deals is not your foul he give you those prices
That's right! Thanks for the feedback
Friend you have kids to send to college. Get every deal that comes your way! Ignore the nonsense. 👍
Thanks for the support!
You did, you need out for yourself first. You have a family.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching
You need a different vehicle that has more room
I do. And I also still have old blue lol
Jesse, been going to say this for months....you focus and explain and criticize the negative comments. I don't care what people say and you don't either. You know how to run your business. You are coming off way too defensive. Answer these people by message NOT on the video with a dark cameo inset screen. We just want to watch you find, buy and sell. You are letting a bunch of shut-in wannabees bug you and are ruining our experience. You are getting more paranoid about neg comments. I would drop that content. I think you can see that no matter how fair you are and no matter what you do, they find a way to get under your skin. IGNORE IT. Present a happier attitude that you enjoy what you are doing, move along. Buy low, sell hi.....or don't do that business. you are supporting your family and trying to improve yourself. You are in an American Freedom Business. An entreprenuer doing commerce that is 3000 years old. The honest way. Everybody wants to find something cheap that is worth a lot of money....so.........where's the beef? The education, the search and research, risk, win-loss, filming the friggin thing, storing, packaging, marketing.Family day. It all takes work and continued education. Trash the nay sayers, they know nothing. Social media is full of those people on every issue. Don't give them their 5 min of fame.
Very long comment lol. I read it all. I appreciate the support
This Seller Don't Understand Toys Sell Market
Damn...Deal Crazy Man
Thank you
All it is is having knowledge
It can be sometimes. Sometimes you have to be kind lol
short memory this seller lol, i never said 30
Lol, I don't blame him. My short-term memory is pretty bad, lol.
To finish my comment if I could make it like you I would quit both of my jobs
Do it up. Just don't rush into it.
You are such a better man than I am because I would’ve told these people that wants to come on and make their comments to kiss my ass I don’t blame you for trying to get things as cheap as you can because I’ll do the same thing I’m not got your brains to be able to do what you do One of them guys that works 9 to 5 and then 5 to 10 Iyou’re making it you quit
Thanks for the support
you don't have to keep explaining, it's none of our business
I want to be transparent
Waiting too long for your video to show
Lol, I am working on another video for Sunday. Fell behind. A lot came up and was out of town. Thanks for your patience
From one veteran to another you do this for a living,pure jealousy just shut up and go elsewhere if they don’t like what you’re doing!
Thank you, David. I agree
@ 11bravo forever!
why do you always worry so much about what someone else says, you react strongly you can't handle comments. then you shouldn't go on youtube then you get good and bad reactions
Oh I can that's why I keep doing it! There was obviously another motive with making this video! I welcome all critism. I know that there are people that can't help but be miserable
