This podcast just brightens my day! This is how I imagine each of you would answer a random question. Question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Cary - Do I have to take the wrapper off first? Do I lick all the way around or just on one side? Will there be a cash incentive at the end of this challenge? Will there be a higher incentive if I stick it to my face or in my hair? Dave - I can't find the tootsie pops, Cary.. see if Dawn will get us some more. Speaking of dawn, I was at a garage sale last week and the sunrise was amazing.. wait, we should have some reselling content, what was your best sale this week, I only lost $50 on shipping mistakes so not a bad week.. oh look a tootsie pop. Kevin - 275 licks
47:00 - eBay does not allow you to charge a restocking fee. That stopped being a thing over five years ago. Additionally, if you sell an item with free returns, you have to pay for the return label. The only way you can deduct an amount from the refund is if it comes back in a different condition than how it was sent. There's a list of percentages you can deduct based on the condition. For example, if you sent a new item in a sealed box and they returned it open, you're only allowed to deduct 10%.
Dave, Cary and Kevin. I sincerely appreciate you guys taking the time to answer my question. I'm not new to reselling but I am very new to making content. I am trying to upload every 5 to 7 days give or take. Thanks again!!!
The option for deduction is for when items are returned not as they were sent. Broken, Opened etc. It is against eBay policy to charge restocking fee. You could deduct the return shipping (even though you're not supposed to) but you would have to say that the item arrived back in worse condition than you sent it to him. I would suggest to just not return the original shipping and move on, unless it does arrive switch out or cracked or something. If you use that option too much or when you are not supposed to you will not have to option to use when you really need to. (This is in essence what happened to Paul)
I appreciate the complete honesty from the guys in this episode they shared some vulnerable info and you can tell it was some hard times for them. Great episode.
Thanks guys for the shout out for Thrift Boss You Tube Channel - he is almost at 1,000 subscribers. Kevin would like him cause he actually talks about reselling, LOL. Dave Hope you have a relaxing vacation up north.
Dave...You absolutely should make merch. I love your cooking videos and I am betting a lot of people do. I came in one day and my husband was watching your video (he had seen me watching some).. kicker? He doesn't cook.. lol
Okay, to get your cooking channel to really explode you need drama--think "what the hales" level drama. My mom is absolutely ENTRENCHED in cooking lady drama on tiktok. I eagerly await your feud with another cooking lady or your neighbor or whatever. 🤣
I ran a toy department when Small Soldiers was current. I remember each case of 6 action figures had 3 of the main good guy, 2 of the main bad guy and then only 1 other figure. So you had to open like 12 cases just to get a complete set. I think I still had dozens of each of the 2 common characters when the store went out of business.
I took notes for this episode like a college lecture. Not to learn anything, just to contribute this comment. On granny, there was some white powder on Kevin’s scale. Dave - return refunding like that may cause a negative feedback though? Also - I always record opening returns. Include the label and opening it and all. Just this week a friend of mine got scammed on a buyer only shipping back an empty DS case without the game. Kevin needs to quit offing all the dogos and get them back on the WiFi generator wheel, rough connection this week. When all the cicadas were everywhere I did sell a “specimen” on eBay just to see if I found an infinite money glitch. 3 weeks to get 1 order 😂
An OZONE machine is a must have for any reseller of used good. Helps to remove any type of smells for almost any type of item. I have been able to remove smoke smells from books, shoes, games and clothing. If the smell is really bad you may not completely get rid of it tho. It can also help get rid of that musty basement smell from books and board games. Must have reselling tool.
Dave you should be able to click payments on your dashboard go under summary then on the right it shows recent activity, Shows payouts, label costs and credits. Your shipping label costs should show up there.
We have the perfect mister fan. its by ryobi, cordless, charger and 18v battery, it runs for 5 hrs on one charge. The fan sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket, sucks the water up and turns it into a mist, pretty powerful
Green Bay doesn't command as much as many other teams. Even for the older items. Sells slow. You did the right thing letting someone else make that profit and sticking to your plan.
All this coke stuff, and Cary is sitting here drinking a pepsi LOL, Kevin I think there is still a Fudrucker's in Myrtle Beach, at least there was in 2021, but that's been a while now.
Hello Gentlemen 😊 Just yesterday, I order 6 Blouses & 6 Paddle pushers Pants for $86 from Walmart for My Dear Mother and 3rd Party Shipping was $6 an item. I WAS LIKE CANCEL THAT S*** FAST. It’s a Rip Off for Seniors that don’t pay attention. Walmart NEVER order again. 👎🏽
They don't assign page unsubs to videos as far as I can tell. If you dig into your stats you will see a separate stat for unsubs from pages. My sub blip upon launching a video is much smaller than yours so it is much easier to see if they were unsubbing from the video or not.
When I was a kid I had 2 My Pet Monsters as well as the hulk and ultimate warrior plush pillow things… wish I still had them… and all my micro machines and in my 20’s I had hundreds of Homies… lol
Dave, you definitely failed by not buying profitable items when they were right in front of you. Especially when 1/2 the items you have been selling were for a loss or break-even LOL.
Beetles, google lens, it's dying let's sell it.... is that what they do in Virginia? Absolutely Hilarious! I've sold preserved butterflies. They are quite a bolo and sell fast!! @commonwealthpicker
We’re in the future now, and Cary scored a down payment on a home by pulling a 1 of 1 Caitlin Clark at the National.
🎉 So Awesome! I’m happy for them!!!
Future Cary is very happy about this!!
This podcast just brightens my day!

Cary drinking Pepsi with a wall of Coke stuff in the background.

I also Have a Jaden Printer and I Love it 🥰 Gigicollectables1985

@@anthonysolis8933 like rock hard times thanks to the blue pill for Kevin 😆

Kevin is responsible for the BUG search glitch on ebay!!!

For clothes odorban works great! 😊

That’s the risk of offering free shipping. You can’t charge a restocking fee.
Green Bay doesn't command as much as many other teams. Even for the older items. Sells slow. You did the right thing letting someone else make that profit and sticking to your plan.
Mind of a child, body of a Rolly-Polly 😂
I purchased those paperback books from WWll, stinky, cat litter, backing soda and freezer for a week, wrapped in plastic. works.
All this coke stuff, and Cary is sitting here drinking a pepsi LOL, Kevin I think there is still a Fudrucker's in Myrtle Beach, at least there was in 2021, but that's been a while now.
For items that smell we just put the ozonator in the car turn it on overnight
That place for the Legalize Marinara is called Oreganos neighborhood italian joint
I’ve had nothing but problems with ordering from Walmart private sellers. Sketch AF 😂

Where you guys starting at the 127 sale? I want to make sure I go the opposite direction lol

I listed the little Tupperware keychain I got from Kevin’s giveaway show. I made sure to put commonwealth picker in the title. Now we wait…
1:22:13 Dave’s Daytime Delights
Entomologist here- yep some bugs sell.
Chunk was 10 when they made the movie so he should be like a year older than Kevin.
So where's that Dewalt Fan link? 👀
Don't leave IG, cross-posting is simple. IG now has a bonus program, nothing grand, but you never know what it could be.
Not buying low dollar hats is a win. Leaving behind a $100 hat would be a fail.
Love listeing to you guys while packing up items for shipping. It's like being in a room with co-workers who are slacking off 😂
Cary reminds me a lot of Homer Simpson. Big heart, small brain. 😂 sorry Cary.
D’oh!
Kevin’s camera is not very clear
I got a TikTok recently because I started producing content and to be honest, I find the algorithm low quality.
Hey Oh!!!
Yahoo!!!!❤🎉
Yay😊
I enjoy your history tidbits Kevin. Sad day when the Declaration of Independence makes you lose subs.
Dave, you definitely failed by not buying profitable items when they were right in front of you. Especially when 1/2 the items you have been selling were for a loss or break-even LOL.
Despise Walmart
Culvers is way better than Freddy’s
Hiiiii ❤
I did a short video on how to find the return cost. I don't remember offhand or i'd try to explain it here. ruclips.net/video/SwentoFvzTY/видео.html
