- On this episode I share my highs and lows of starting the Reseller Cartel booth with @SonnyLasVegas I ended up giving up after 4 months. I share my experiences and hope you might learn something before starting a booth. I also look to the future of things I can do. I give a pro's and con's list and luckily I can do all my pro's without having a booth.

Thank you all for following along on this journey. Here is the whole playlist of Reseller Cartel activities: ruclips.net/video/W9zut6-Jt6k/видео.html
You are a funny guy, fun to listen to. All legit reasons to leave. Enjoy your next adventure.
You are so wonderful! Wishing you & Super Cort the very best!
Mikey, I do not know if you will read this when this Video came out a year ago. You said, Super Cort had to have surgery on her intestines. I'm hoping very much that everything went super well for her! I had it done also, but mine turned into a nightmare. First surgery, the doc messed up and I ruptured the first evening and went back into surgery with new doctors. One of the night nurses, stopped in my room as she was leaving the night shift to tell me that I had an Angel watching over me, there was a chance I wasn't going to make it thru the surgery. 😲😮 I ended up with 8 surgeries including the first one that started this parade and it lasted for 3.5 years. I sure hope she had an excellent surgery and healing process. I just joined your channel this last weekend, and I have watched quite a few of your Videos already!! I love your personality, along with the love and respect you show your wife, when she is with you and when she is not with you!!! I hope this last year giving up the booth and moving forward has been a positive reaction and you are growing phenomenally!!! God Bless you and Cort!!! Sonny and his wife also!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️ 💐
I’m glad you explained your departure from the store. You’re a good guy Mike, and I appreciate you leaving so gracefully. I understand your comments about the camera crew.
I've been off utube for a awhile. I knew something was wrong. Thanks for explaining the situation. I also think you did what you had to do. Happiness is important
WV retired grandma here, occasionally shop thrift stores and yard sales for fun bargains. Started watching Danni, then you, Sonny and a few others to learn about older glass items I have that were passed down from family. Love you, Sonny and Kari mostly. Hope Kari gets on RUclips. Be happy and bag it!
You meeting your subscriber was precious. I know you made her day! And Michael Bolton probably did, too. 😆
Prayers for successful surgery and quick healing. Sorry you felt it was time to leave and enjoyed seeing you at the Good stuff, you are both down to earth good guys. Happy that Kari is hanging with both of you, I often cringed at her treatment and felt it was disrespectful and rude. Mother and daughter should do some reflecting on attitudes, especially Jordan. I also cringe with the attitude she gives her Mom. I won’t watch her platform, not my niche. Good luck, live your dreams and may 2 men and a mermaid flourish!!
Agree. Way too much attitude. Can't stand the entitled daughter and won't watch. If I watch TV he mother I have to mute her, that is IF I watch at all..just saying
Prayers to Super Cort ❤️🙏🏼 We love you all and are grateful for you all supporting our journey, prayers, good wishes and keeping us on our toes. #ResellerCartelFamily
🥰😇🤠🤠❣️❣️❣️Te Quiero Mucho mi Hermanos
Kinda crazy because I watched Niche Lady the other day and she mentioned that you Sonny were experiencing some Life changes and didn't want to step on toes and speak your story, now you and Mikey are sounding like it's Mikey having some Life changes....but, it really doesn't matter as long as you Both and your significant others are doing well, and you guys are still Friends!!!!
I am happy to have found both of you as well Sonny and Mikey. And that probably wouldn't have happened without Danni. Sending prayers for good health and prosperity for all of you! I can also see Danni's influence in what and how you are buying. Mikey I wish it had worked out. I would imagine these types of stores take some time to really take off. Now you have both put so much blood, sweat and tears in this venture, but count it as a learning experience. You will both do well! God bless!
I’m just glad you are doing what is best for you!
Love ,good health and success you and Carla.
You certainly didn’t let anyone down, Mikey. Please don’t think that. I think a lot of us could see the micro- managing going on & were uncomfortable with the way Kari was being treated. I am glad that you all are able to move on & do your own thing. Take care & good luck! I will continue watching you & Sonny & hopefully Kari, too! Sending you & Super Cort (sp?) my prayers for her speedy recovery.
I definitely agree. Glad Sonny and Mikey have taken Kari under their wings so she can fly !! Exciting
Prayers for Super Cort and her upcoming surgery and Full Recovery🙏🏻
Mikey you will do well wherever you sell🎉🎉🎉
You have to do You and keeping your Family first shows what a good man you are❤️🥰🙏🏻
I’m glad that this transition is in good terms. And everyone is still friends.
💯
Now, though The Nitch Lady ditched the friends with booths in her store.
Here to support you and Super Cort. Praying for her upcoming surgery. You and Sonny are great guys and family should come first. Here for you guys!
❤
Hey Mikey!
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to chime in here! I have major respect for you for speaking your truth. Well done! I am sure all the change has been challenging, but now you can focus on doing what’s best for your family. Family comes first!
I enjoy your videos. Your happy spirit is contagious. Watching you and @Sonny Las Vegas cutting up always make me feel good. I wish you and SuperCort good health, happiness and all the good things. Stay strong! You got this! ❤❤❤
You are so down to earth. I love your honesty. I am looking forward to your new adventures with Sonny and Kari.
You all should do a meet-up on the East Coast. Specifically....
Ravens territory!!!
haha maybe Bill's territory💙❤
Thanks for your honesty! You and Sonny will do great no matter what direction you take!
❤
I have a booth in a large vendor mall. I think the key for me is changing things around in the booth, adding new items weekly, making the booth look aesthetically pleasing. Like items with like items, like colors with like colors. The vendor mall I am in is about 8 miles away from a larger city but has been established for over 20 years. My booth is 8ft x 12 ft and costs $200 a month. Last month I sold $595 from there. I put things there that I know would be a hard sell online and larger or more fragile items I don't want to ship. That being said It doesn't have to be for you, reselling is a journey. You should do what is best for you and your family. Keep doing you.
I think those are all good tips for a vendor booth, whether like things are color or period like MCM, 50's etc., seasonal or themed like toys etc.
Antique Mall rent in Vegas is 375+ a month and some require volunteer time working also. No idea what Danni charges but that location isn’t the best for sure.
I have almost the exact same comments as Life Under Hazel Skies about my experiences in the antique mall lol lol! I think it's important to diversify your selling platforms. Some items are right for a booth, some are right for online auction, some vest sold at a 1 day live event, some for local pick up.
My heartfelt prayers are going out to Courtney. Praying that all goes well with surgery and that you have a swift and full recovery. Mikey, I know that what ever you do will be successful. You are that kind of person. Love to you Courtney and Sonny.
❤
Mikey, you are a CLASS ACT!!! Very kind
I support you and Sonny and appreciate you putting families first. Praying for a successful surgery for Super Court and a time of safe healing.
You haven't let anyone down Mikey you're awesome. You have to take care of your family and just do what you need to do for your business I'll never leave your channel your to funny love and prayers for you and your family 💞🙏
It takes time to build a brick & mortar audience/clientele. It isn't going to work when it isn't the right time. You all will do well because you are the REAL real. Do it YOUR WAY!!!
Glad to see you're on with Kat...she's good she shares very little personal stuff and focuses on her business hence a better more interesting audience. She's honest about her sales and buys really nice items for resale.
I too enjoy Kat. No disrespect at all to Danni but the New Crew is not for me.
Mikey, it was very nice of you to share your reasons for leaving the thrift store. Your reasoning is legit. Looking forward for your continued success in thrifting! Enjoy both your and Sonny's channels. Will continue to be a fan! Much success. ❤️
I am a self employed person and have been for 42 years and know independence. I also am a reseller. No way could I spend my time doing price tags and spending gas money to check everything to make sure it pleases "the boss".
I get what you are saying on your video. I am wishing you all the happiness in the World. God bless Super Cort and that she recovers quickly.
Mikey, I can’t give you the “ Sure-Fire” formula but I can help to give you a Formula for “Failure” and that is to try to please everybody all the time. Always remember we are here to add what we can to Life, Not to get what we can from Life! I know you are doing what makes you and Super Cort happy and less stressful. Your posse is not going anywhere♥️
Hey Mikey! I’m happy for you moving on! I think you and Sonny will still do awesome! .always need to be true to yourself and know when the time is right to move forward into new experiences! I sure all of us fans will continue to support you as you grow! Take care !
❤
What a great bunch of people from Alabama!
I really enjoyed your comments. I have had several vintage/antique booths for years; I usually don't make much of a profit. Now the building most of my stuff (vintage, some antiques and crafts) is putting in a brew-pub at my end of the building and I am losing my space. Also, my rent has almost doubled due to high oil and electricity prices in Maine. I am aging; the arthritis in my knees, back, and hips make that steep stairwell to the second floor literally a BIG pain! I love thrifting and yard saling (estate sales are not as common in Maine as elsewhere). I really have to rethink what I am going to do in the future. I have learned so much from you, Sonny, Danni and Tiffany as well as bloggers I follow. Thank you! Prayers for Super Cort. I suffer from occasional attacks of diverticulitis but have been very lucky!
Mikey wishing you and Sonny all the best and much success wherever the road takes you. Totally makes sense family comes first prayers for your wife and god speed on her recovery💗🙏🏻💗i rarely comment just wanted to let you know we will definitely continue to support.....Many blessings
You learned a lot from the booth experience and I appreciate you sharing the pros and cons. Wishing you and your wife the best.
In the immortal words of the late great Kenny Rodgers ...
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
😉 and you guys did just that.
You never count your money
When you're sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealing's done
😉
Good life lesson all around....
I think it was an interesting experience for you to do the booth. But I wholeheartedly agree that it's a good decision to move on now from it. And I agree with so many of the comments of support for you here. There's nobody like you Mikey, and that's why you keep on attracting the positive and happy things in life ❤
Thanks for always being real Mikey! Prayers coming your way for a speedy recovery for Super Court! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good luck
🎉your s0 funnythe ballerina couldn't make it to the stage
Hi Mikey. Thank you for sharing the honest reasons you are leaving the boutique reseller world. Some things you shared in an earlier post, other things I had a feeling about (sales not exceeding expanses). Just little things in your previous videos led me in that direction. It surprised me about the way you were being edited by the powers that be. I thought this was supposed to be for all of you, but it appears that the powers that be were of the mindset of me before you, and whether you sink or swim. Now you will be able to swim freely, and enjoy the benefits of all your hard work. I will pray 🙏 for Super Cort that all goes well with her surgery, and that you have the success you deserve. Take care and stay safe.
I will pray for Super Cort and a good surgery.
Thanks for letting us know about your new venture and much luck.
Love your channel.
Prayers for Super Cort and a quick recovery from her surgery. I’m glad you will be there for her. I look forward to all your spontaneous videos! On to the next adventure! You bring smiles and laughter, appreciate all you do!
Thank you!
Hey Mike so glad to have come across your reseller videos through Danni’s channel. Your reasons for rethinking the direction of your business makes sense.👍😊 Wishing you all the best going forward. (and Sonny too of course) Family time tops priority list. Hope your wife’s surgery goes well & she heals quickly. Take care of your health too👍👍😊
❤
WTG MIKEY I THINKS YOUR making a much better life now & your kindness & humor are wonderful
Thanks for your honest input! Was thinking about a booth and I will reconsider, especially how far you traveled! Gas is not cheep!
You don't know until you try. You are doing what is best for you, and that is important! Thoughts and prayers for Super Cort. I hope the recovery goes smooth. I have had that type of surgery. Tell her to take time to recover and think positive thoughts. Best to you both!
Hello Mikey, I will keep the prayers going for Super Cort in her upcoming surgery. I wish you and Sonny Las Vegas all the best in your endeavors. Do what makes you happy and that makes more money. 🕊✨🦋
Its great you got to experience so much being apart of the opening of a store/booth. I think you have really grown as a reseller and content creator. You all supported each other in the process. I loved watching all of your channels. I am very fond of you and Sonny and wish you both well. Hope Super Court a speedy recovery. Looking foward to what the future brings for you.
❤
@@SonnyLasVegas Sonny, I feel the same for you Sending love to you and Karla.
Sometimes ya just gotta do what ya gotta do 🤩 Prayers for Super Cort for a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 Love y’all ❤
Mikey, there is nothing wrong with this video. I have Super Cort in my prayers. I have more respect for you and Sonny, Kari, and Rebecca than I ever had before. It takes a lot of courage to walk away. Keep up the good work.
I have been watching less. Did I miss that Rebecca and Keri left?
@@heatherjoslin8291 I hadn't heard if they did!
@@heatherjoslin8291 yes, Kari & Rebecca both left. It was like a mad exodus, imo. There have been many hints at what the underlying reason was, but I was kind of already aware of it, I’m not going to talk sh** about anybody, I can just say I have never liked the way Kari was treated (& obviously neither did she). We are all entitled to our own opinions & free to watch whoever we are most comfortable with. 😊
Prayers for your wife's surgery and full recovery. I appreciate you explaining the reasons for leaving the booth as I watch videos from you, Sonny, Danni & Tiffany. I have had a booth for over 2 years now. Currently I have a very large booth where I sell over 100 items a month & make money. However I don't make enough to support myself so it is good I am retired & this is more of a hobby business for me. The money I make goes into sourcing more items for my booth. I sell a few things on eBay but I prefer the booth. Good luck to you, Sonny & Kari in your new adventures.
If you can't add to someone's life, don't try and take something away from it. Love & blessings to your family & prayers for Cort.
❤
AMEN!
💜💌💔🐾🌹✈️🐾🏜️😭😇💪
Prayers for your wife- I love the fact that you put her first- so many men don’t!
Prayers to Super Court for a successful and speedy recovery. This was a tremendous learning opportunity for you and Sonny. You will continue to do well. Learned from your lessons. Negativity will only keep you from moving forward.
You guys leaving was a great decision. Good luck to you, Sonny, &Kari!
Many prayers to you Super Cort.. And keep bringing the videos because they're informative they're fun and we enjoy it and take us along and let us know how Cort is doing... And don't stop doing those WHATNOT Auctions..Love you guys..
Good luck to u! Thoughts & prayers!
It was a good learning experience for you. Sometimes you have to fail to move on and find out what works and doesn't work for you. I have had booths two different times, but work full time at an office job. It's a lot of work and time finding product, cleaning it up, pricing, taking it to the booth and setting up, keeping inventory, and moving stuff around each week. Gotta know how to display items to grab people's attention. So after COG, rent, and then my place took a percentage of sales too, you have to move a lot to make any money. Totally understandable and don't feel like you have to explain.
Mikey you are so funny when you shop that I literally spit my coffee out. (I love it 🤣🤣🤣) You and Sonny are the most are genuine and loving people I have meet here in vegas living 9 years now here. You two are great together and seem to have so much fun together! Keeping Super Court, You and Sonny and both families in prayers. Looking forward to you "Reseller Cartel" adventures..."The Legends Lives On" (hope maybe you guys do 1 or 2 for us utubers) yep the location is not good but maybe when her house is settled she can think about moving her store..God will work things out for her. Keeping all you guys in prayer and will keep enjoying you and Sonny next adventures in life!
You left for very good reasons and I wish you and your wife the best recovery from surgery 🙏🙏. Take care and God Bless you 🙏🙏🥰🥰👍
Much respect to you and Sunny for trying the booth. I can appreciate that you took a risk and know when to call it a day. You’ll never have to wonder “what if…?”
Prayers and positive vibes to your and Sunny’s beautiful wives.
❤❤❤
Take good care Mikey and Sonny!! Blessings to you both and your wives!
Not surprised really...I think going back to your original plan is best. That whole store thing never made sense to me....why do that when you've got a great on line gig going on? All I kept thinking was stop filling up that store! Too much time spent and out of pocket$$ for little return I agree.
Thank you Mikey for explaining, I've been wondering what happened but I can understand I am in ill-health also so I understand fully about what you guys are doing because my husband is my health Care person and he is the greatest!!!!! I will still follow you and sunny!!! I hope supercourt and Carla will be fine I know they will with you guys taken care of them!!!!!!
Wish you swift healing and have you in my prayers Doris ❤❤❤
I wish I was coming to Vegas, I would definitely look you up, along with Tiffany, Thrifting Vegas. She was my 1st thrifter video that I watched.
I’m sorry the booth didn’t work out for you but I’m really happy to hear you will still be doing your videos. I do enjoy watching you. Many prayers for Super Court.
Wherever you both go you will do good better days to come your way . I Will check in to watch more of you new videos on you new journeys
If its not working then time to drop back and punt. Looks like y'all are moving forward and better for all. Hope surgery got well for your sweetie. Had similar surgery several years ago. Take it slow afterwards but move move move. Good luck and blessings. Also
Prayers to Supercourt. Mikey we just love how awesome and genuine you are we will follow you on whatever platform you are on. Wishing you and Sonny only the best in all future endeavors
❤❤❤❤
LUCKY YOU didn't sign a full year rental contract. You would be stuck there. Best wishes, We had fun watching you!
Sending prayers for Super Cort 🙏🏻 and wish the best for all of you. My Grandfather had to have the same surgery a very long time ago and lived a long healthy life after. God bless
Prayers for your wife. Like you said a wonderful learning experience. Just keep doing what you do. You and your wife are so much fun.
My husband loves putting those little metal airplanes , etc. together.
I’m new to your channel but I love it! You are so much fun to watch. But that’s not why I’m reaching out this time. My husband had the same surgery your wife is about to have. His was an emergency but still only stayed in the hospital for 5 days. The had a severe infection that also had to be dealt with. It’s only been a couple of months but he’s completely back to normal. Please tell her she is going to feel so much better when it’s all over. Huge hugs to both of you. We will be praying for your family ❤
thank you so much❤
Praying for your beautiful wife. Family comes first and I respect you and Sonny for that. The political games and losing money and time are not worth it. You are a success keep the momentum going forward. Congratulations on taking more positive steps to a new future.
❤
From your list it seems most of the cons effected you personally (time away from home, commuting time, money lost) and most of the pros are not really personal (supporting charities, meeting people etc). You are gregarious and outgoing and a likeable guy. You can make friends wherever you go. You have to do what is best for you first. If you are not making money-it makes no sense. You will do well without the booth.
A
I started out with a booth 4 years ago. I expanded to 2 large booths and usually make a profit over my rent. I expanded to an additional store in another town last year. I get my inventory really cheap and I also do furniture sales. The stuff that goes in my booths are things I just don't want to list on ebay. Works for me, but doesn't work for everybody!
Thank you for the honest explanation of why it did not work out. Love how you presented the pros and cons. It was overall an experience to learn from. I don't get the part about having to edit your videos. That is NOT right. It is first a shop for multiple people and not just one person, NOT a production. Don't get me wrong, I subscribe to all parties and love everyone's videos but that is one element that needs to change out of respect.
Hoping surgery goes well. Thank an Army doc in Vietnam for developing the Surgitone now much improved that allows intestines to be cut bad part gone reconnected. Revolutionary abdominal surgery. Had similar surgery 9 years ago. Walk walk walk after surgery. Walk with her get up and move. Not comfy but it's what one needs to do !
Definitely on surviving. Revolutionary and so important better outcomes.
I knew as soon as I saw location of the Good Stuff. I saw no cars hardly in parking lot. That traffic would not be good. I am a retired seller and I see things that I always look for before being a part of. That being said on line selling is the way to go. Look at all the stores closings in neighborhoods because on line is more profitable and less overhead. If large company are doing it it should tell you something. Much success to you. Right move.
Anyone watching her videos could tell it was a horrible strip mall, horrible inside design and needed booth vendors to make up the difference. It was also the wrong mix of inventory and those "cubbies" were horrible for real thrifters. I've always gotten an odd feeling about owner, so maybe the real stories will come out.
Awwww hope everything goes well for your wife ,sending you positive vibe and 🙏🙏 praying for her for a fast recovery 🙏🙏💛
Love your pros and cons list and the honesty!.....you have to do what is right for your family! I will keep watching your videos.
Yes, thank you for so honestly and genuinely sharing your business decision with us. Obviously, all resellers are in the business to make a living/money. Your pros and cons not only explain your decision but also teach us ways to evaluate running a business. For me, your credibility rating has gone “sky high.” (And I was one who complained that you promised us information in your last video that you did not provide.) You have learned and grown so much since I first saw you! You were made for this type of business! The right personality and skills. Congrats!!!
I think you gave an awesome pros and cons list and I noted that most of the cons you flipped into pros, too. Keep doing you Mikey!
Man, Mikey - the second anyone tried to control how and when I could express myself, I'd be looking for a graceful exit out the door, too (Memo to anyone who thought dictating to an independent spirit, entrepreneurial soul, gleefully boss-less and jovial, chatty sharer who wears Hawaiian shirts louder than a hair band concert was going to go over well: Well, Bless Your Heart). As a reseller who loves learning from other resellers on RUclips, I can see a real shift these days from those who take us along on their journey, vs. those who have prioritized monetizing the message and the medium... so much so that I actively enjoy UNsubscribing from channels that have turned fun hunting trips into one long sales pitch for specific items, 'live' auctions, and personality persuasion branding to buy, buy, buy from them. My Spidey sense tells me you're nothing like that - and I look forward to more videos of you just being yourself, like the friend I'd always love to run into at the thrift store : ) P.S. I know the only real boss (of your heart) is Super C - and that anything IBS-related can be exhausting + a little scary - so please accept my very best vibes reaching out to both of you
Amen!
Ditto Amen!
Absolutely! I think Mikey is taking the high road on this one. I don't think the way things were going is what he originally bought into, so, being the thoughtful guy he is, he politely got out. I'm 100% in support of his decision and am wishing only the best for him and Super Cort.
Something like that needs to be written in your lease/contract so u have prior knowledge/consent to give up your rights to partake.
@@vintagebodymindsoulradley9151 Agree! Something else to think about: when you see up to four RUclips resellers filming each other, together - simultaneously - for content to put on their own separate websites, you begin to understand that the value of the footage content & marketing to feed their channel is probably worth as much (and likely more) than the profits they may be getting on sales themselves. When the tables turn and your resale business becomes the hook behind your RUclips channel views and affiliations that make more money than your hard good sales, you're actually selling a whole different, 'unwritten' product - and I bet that was never acknowledged as a separate product or sale condition in any lease agreement on an actual stall in a physical storefront. I personally don't appreciate some RUclips channels & videos turning into one long sales pitch, and prefer friendly videos that share, entertain, and instruct; if I wanted to be hard-sold and buy things from an infomercial, I'd go to QVC or whatnot instead. RUclips has its own perfectly valid freeform information-exchange reasons to be; it does NOT have to turn into QVC, or a whatnot ad, or a solicitation for a Patreon subscription, or an eBay auction ad... PLEASE!!!
I'm so confused at why people became so upset over this. You were very respectful in this video. Sometimes things just don't work out and I'm sure Dani could find someone to rent the booth quickly. I'm really sorry this ended up being such a rift. You've got this, Mikey. Whatever you decide to do with the extra time, I hope it's prosperous. Sending healing prayers for Super Cort.
Agree completely! I watched again and still think Mikey did a good job laying it all out! Very respectful Mikey!
@@LisaGWoods I don't think he could have done any better. But having worked with friends I get that it doesn't always end well and that's the sad part. Business should always be just business.
@@BlingaDingDingReseller to true. But I will say that the worse working environment has been all female! We're generally more passionate and more competitive. It can be a rollor coaster. 🤔
The old shipping room was a reck, wow
God bless you Mikey and super core may she have a fast recovery I knew you will continue to succeed sending many prayers your way and I'll keep watching 🙏🙏🙏
YOU ARE SO NICE....THAT WAS GOOD OF YOU TO SPEND TIME WITH CUSTOMERS THAT CAME FROM ALABAMA. I KNOW EVERYONE WILL DO GOOD ON YOUR NEWEST PART OF YOUR JOURNEY. I'LL BE HERE.
You are so likeable I wish you and wife only the best. God bless
You are right Mikey. If you are not making a living then you are flogging a dead horse.
Worse, you are loosing money.
And if the location is in a dead area even worse.
And having a shop in a shop.
It could become a conflict of interest type of situation, which it sounds like it is.
There are "friends" and there are friends.
Usually it is best not to work with friends, it ruins the friendship.
I love my long time best friend. We have known eachother since we were 6 years old.
There is no way we can work together. We tried and it didn't work. 😂
Life is full of curved balls.
Last year I nearly got conned into taking over a second hand shop.
I love the lady who ran her little business don't get me wrong.
One day last year she asked me if I would like to take the shop over with all the stock for free.
What a bargain right?
Wrong.
The shop was falling to pieces. The rain leaked inside the shop like a sieve.
It would have cost me money I don't have to renovate a shop that is not mine. It belongs to the landlord.
The shop did not get much customer traffic.
There is no parking.
She underestimated me though.
I had a meeting with her and took a spreadsheet with me and asked her to list all the expenses and hidden costs.
Which added up let me tell you.
Then I asked her to show me her income.
I asked her how much she makes on average per month?
She would not disclose how much the shop made?
Why, because the shop was not making money. 😂
Who would give up a cash cow thriving business?
That is why she wanted to dump it on me. As sweet as she is.
And of all the people who can't take on that financial risk, it's me. I live in a foreign country.
She wanted to take the monkey off her shoulder and put it on mine.
She also did not have anywhere to get rid of all the old junk in the shop.
Sometimes people have their own agendas as nice as they may seem.
So Mikey, tick that box, you did it.
Now grab your stuff and run.
Enjoy your life, be yourself, and do what works for you.
Supercourt needs you, and I wish you both everything of the best. 😇
I had a booth for a few months and I too didn’t know anything when I started. I learned that you have to ‘work’ the booth. But I sell more online (mercari). I left in January and still continue to do well online. Good for you for experiencing something and realizing it’s not a good fit. See you out and about. A booth is not for me.
Wishing you the best .. I met you at the Goodwill Opening, I have never been to the Good Stuff Store, It is too far and the area is not the best.. Plus when the videos are made, the viewers see A LOT of what is being sold, and it does not draw folks in, just my feelings, I worked at at thrift store here in Vegas 17 yrs.. You can buy things for resale but they might not resell ... Wishing you and sonny the best, and your wife a safe and speedy recovery from surgery.. Family always come first.. Good vibes to you and yours...

Good luck to you and supercort. You are really fun people and you have a heart of gold. I know you will keep up with all your friends and aquantences.ill keep watching.
Thanks for bringing us a long on your adventure!! Sending prayers for you and SuperCort!!! I love watching your videos!! Can't wait to see your new adventures!!!🧡🙏
Thanks for letting us know about "Super Cort" Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery!
Some endeavors are only for a season. Sending prayers to Super Cort for her upcoming surgery. Praying for a speedy recovery. I think this is an awesome decision on your part so that you can be there with your wife more during her recovery. The Lord will open another door for you when it's time. Keep doing what not and selling on eBay until that door opens. You and sunny have a great friendship and I love watching the two of you interact with each other.
Love your content. Praying for your family. Sounds like you and Sonny will be alright!:)
Honestly I’m surprised it lasted this long. Good luck to you and the future. You know I’m behind you.
Sorry to hear about Super Cort sending all the good vibes!!

You should consider keeping your limiting beliefs to yourself. 🤷♀️
@@kirstenrissling879 practice what you preach!
@@ZickIt123 thanks! I do!
PS....where is Carrie???? We all love watching her!!!! She is a Hoot!!! In Carolina we love all of you but we really miss her!!!
@@rosietheriveter1919 tell her here in South Carolina she has alot of fans!!!! Her spirit is so fun friendly and genuine!!!!! We all send love & hugs!!!! Make that $$$$$ 😁
Yes, where IS Kari? Does anyone know where to buy her Barbie Doll items? Especially Barbie furniture ? I keep asking but miss the answers, or they disappear before I can see them. 😬🤷🏼♀️😳
Mikey, you should have been a comedian, I think you are hilarious, especially with the one line zingers!😅
You did not let anyone down, Mikey! Just the opposite, in fact. Danni's rude and disrespectful treatment of others while hiding behind the Jesus flag has come back around, and the people deserting the sinking ship are all good, well-intentioned people who tried their best, and invested their time and money expecting the best. Not their fault it didn't work out! You did the best thing you could do, by moving on. All the best to you, and you have a great attitude! Even Danni's own son didn't want to be there at the shop, with piles of dead merchandise growing and no one to process it. I pity her poor accountant....what a losing proposition! Over before even the Grand Opening had happened! All the best to you, Kari, Sonny, Rebecca, et al. Peace, man.

I so agree
Danni is toxic I feel
I never liked the fact that she got a senior discount and she's not a senior. What a thief
Things have changed a lot with Danni since she hangs out with the Pickering family. It's not the same.
Sure has, but she'll manage to offend and hurt them too.
live and learn that's the way to do it especially with no regrets because thats how we grow . Wishing Super Cort the best with her surgery will keep you both in my prayers . love your videos
Its all good Mikey. On to bigger and better things.We love you and Super Cort❤
Thank you! It’s all part of the journey ❤️
Thanks for being honest. Sometimes, life’s journeys reroute us in another direction that is best for ourselves. I wish you the best and look forward to your future videos cause you sure make me laugh and make my day.
