      Dude is so insufferable, uses the marker as a prop and keeps messing with his hair. Just share the damn clothes and oh yeah maybe this time around don't promote the "race to the bottom" like you were the last time you were doing this.

    Still one of the best reselling channels out there. Even after time away, your videos do not feel like they waste my time just to pad out view time, like so many other channels.
    I always feel like I actually learn something.

    Matt, back from the beach and ready to clothes surf the thrift racks. As Roddenberry once said “Cool”. Glad you are back. You may be the only Manifesto author who is not wanted by the government. I still refer to my copies from time to time. But brands have changed. Robert Graham has always been one of my favs yet the prices have tanked. But Im a sucker and still buy them.

    One thing that has helped my with “clutter” within my reselling business is setting an amount that I want to make per item. THIS IS HARD, but I’m happier in my home. I only buy things that will potentially get me $30 (after my cost AND site commissions). This obviously eliminates most “bread & butter”, but it gives me peace and I am actually making more money! I also shop A LOT more, which is the fun part. Maybe this would work for you, too. Thank you for all the great things you’ve taught me. I appreciate you!

    Immediately subbed because of the first thing you mentioned. I’ve been studying and researching mainly clothes for 3-4 months and started reselling full time just a month ago. I’ve always dealt with pain but in the past 2 years I’ve had to endure excruciating chronic pain in my neck back and joints. Doctors always said to lose weight and you’ll feel better and in the past 2 years I’ve went from 320lbs to 169lbs and it’s only gotten worse throughout that weight loss. Reselling is now a big passion of mine and I have to make myself get up and go through the listing process. Pictures is of course the hardest on my body. Regardless I love everything about reselling so I’m not gonna let it stop me

      Age and genes and an overactive lifestyle has left me with a bad back, among other things,Merlin. I hate the picture taking part, also. I enjoy researching and reselling also, but most days I don’t get much done.

    This is going to sound cliche, like an Oprah Book of the Month comeback story. With all seriousness though, thrifting and reselling saved my life. And you good sir were the best in providing the startup knowledge necessary for success.
    It’s only been three months, but the distance I have traveled from the dark abyss of three years of depression have been monumental in restoring joy in my life. Never discount the value of dopamine. Those little shots to the dome when you find treasures. Whether it’s a $25 bread and butter Ralph Lauren or $300 cashmere Brunello Cuccinelli, it all helps the same.
    Welcome back and thank you for the inspiration. And the dry wit high brow humor.

    followed you for a long time on another account. But I think this is a perfect example of taking time, vacation or break from your work. I know your health forced you into the break. But you sound so enthusiastic and excited to return to work. I hope you rock it and manage the burn out and physical pain. Thanks for sharing your journey!!

(Keep the items you love; afterall you can still list them if you change your mind.😉)

My father pointed it out to me. After that I read his Astounding Science Fiftion mags and the other one as so9n as they came into the house. I got h9me beforehand got home from work! I still read it. Asimov was my hero.

    I took time off at the beginning of this year for about 4 months to care for an elderly sibling. After the touch and go of her recovery was past and my time became mostly free, I got really unhappy without my buying and selling. I did need the break after many years but it does have elements that make me feel better. Turning 5 dollars into 10 dollars is a kind of magic trick. When you turn 5 into much more, its a lift. No mystery to me that I started to get unhappy. I was in a position where I did not have to work. I always wondered how I would react to that and I found out. Work is important to me.
