      but the only problem is that reselling isnt guaranteed it means you have to find stuff everyday to resell like for example i went to 3 goodwills yesterday and did not find 1 single thing to resell. so how would u be able to pay your bills if u have alot of days where u cant even find stuff to resell?

    @benthomas6828 Год назад +1

    Props for being so transparent about the revenue of social media. The reality is (I don’t mean to sound spiteful saying this) all the bigger channels on here are really just “content creators” and not “resellers” as it pertains to income. I could never buy most the stuff you buy because it’s all in a flooded market. But you are able because you have built such a following and you have to buy something just so you have more videos to upload and make money off of us clicking on them.

    My husband and i just went full time not to long ago. Health issues and physical injuries caused us to work towards this goal for 2 years.
    Apart, from wanting to be our own boss, we also didn't want to wait until the retirement age to be free for corporate america, we wanted the freedom to enjoy our lives now. We used to work 10-13 hrs a day each, made good money, but at the expense of our marriage and family. We are thankful, we made this decision as everyday is a wonderful adventure that we experience together.

    The goal for many has changed from big house, expensive car to having more time and being your own boss. I never had 6 fig job, but worked in higher ed for decades. Quit to take care of my combat wounded vet husband. Took up reselling for extra cash and I could work it around doc visits, therapy etc. Last year I grossed more with ebay than I ever made working ft. It's a blessing.

    Love it. I'm not going to become a full time reseller but what I've noticed is that you have to understand what you're doing like you said. You can easily get into a tough spot by buying stuff that may have slight value but sells so slow. All the small purchases could easily add up and then you're stuck with a bunch of slow selling "junk".

    Great video - I had no idea he would be bringing in that much from such a "small" youtube channel. Add in his salary to these numbers and he was really rolling in the dough for the past couple years. So he is essentially going from 200k plus down to 100k, which may hurt in the short term. Hopefully he can continue to grow, but if not, I'm sure he can find another similar job to get again. Also COG wasn't really added to this video. Growing in reselling means growing your spending as well. Gota spend money to make money!! Awesome video!

On top of that he has already been doing all the reselling stuff making another flow of income. I think this was a move for mental/family needs! Shoot now he can spend time at home and around family and enjoy it.

  • @MrPaulMorris
    @MrPaulMorris Год назад

    A nice breakdown of likely income for Dave. It's good to remember that income is more than just eBay! There are many streams that can complement reselling. Last time I was reselling full time, I also did one to one tuition in IT and workshop skills--my background as a commercial trainer and radio/systems engineer helped out there--and having 4 or 5 hours a week doing something different helped to keep me from going crazy with eBay as it changed every day (back in the 'wild west' days 20+ years ago). Later on I went into disk-based training courses--my best selling product back then was a study package for the UK Citizenship Test that shipped by the sack load!
    Now, as I look forward to going back to full time-just as soon as my current employers pull the plug on their dying business--I have a little less pressure as I already draw a number of pensions from previous careers.
    One point to remember when moving from part time to full time, which wasn't mentioned in the video, is that you don't just need to match your previous salaried income but also whatever you were earning from your reselling. For example, if you were earning $100k gross from employment and $25k from the side hustle, you need to grow the reselling income to $125k, not $100k, to have the same gross income. There are, of course, complications in adjusting for benefits (at least here in the UK we don't need to worry about health insurance!) but the basic idea stands and is often overlooked by those looking to go full time.

    Hey really liked the video details on Dave, was wondering without any specifics if you had replaced your previous income and Haleys with just reselling, thanks you folks are always great to watch.

      Just reselling, no. All income streams combined, yes.

    Hi Josh,
    You forgot the Trash to Cash podcast channel. I know they split 3 ways.
    Love that you are creating content everyday. Definitely you are missing Hayley.
    Love you all! 💕😊🌼

    Great info. Thank you. I have thought long and hard about following Dave's footsteps, leaving a good paying job to resell FT. My PT eBay game is decent: approx 1 sale per day @$73/transaction and an 80% sell through. But I have no social presence and support a family of 3 as sole income earner. Time to get on YT and whatnot. 😊

    I did the same, I left my job for this, never have any money but I enjoy it. Plus I have the Vintage Toy Store online that helps.
