Pure gold! This is my second time watching this since finding your channel two years ago. I want to thank you Pete for all the free knowledge you share! It really is a shame most of your new followers will never see these old videos.
Pete you're a good dude man and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and honesty about this business. I agree, AZ too retail arbitrage is a cut throat business model and I did it for a couple of years and lost money doing it. I went back to my roots and made a ton of money selling thrift items on eBay and fell back in love with my margins compared to RA. Folks stay focus and true to your business model that you come up with.
You're the most genuine guy when it comes to reselling. You don't need to market or advertise yourself in a fashion like others do on RUclips. I don't know you personally, but I can tell you really care about your viewers, with what you do, and ultimately helping others. Mindset & taking action is everything and I want to thank you for helping me & others in my life, most likely a handful of people, people should realize this from your philosophy.
Pete- Really appreciate your sincerity and compassion for the business. Also your knowledge and real world thoughts on the business. I check your video's out all the time and always learn something new and am inspired . Thanks My Friend for sharing your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated
Hey Craigslist Hunter, I appreciate your candidness and honesty about the realities of being a re-seller. I think it's very easy to get caught up in watching all the videos about the money to be made, and forgetting about the work that has to go into sourcing , listing, packing and shipping all those items. I've sent in my first 2 shipments to FBA and there is a bit of a learning curve. Watching your videos really gave me the confidence to jump in and try reselling.
Wow Pete! Thanks so much for the context of who you are and how you do it! My favorite video of yours to date!! Thank you so much for the advice. Helps tremendously that you share and put out this content for all of us. It will come back to you in so many ways!! Great motivation!!
Pete....Not only you , but no one else on RUclips talks about consignment! There are so many people out there with stuff to sell and no time. I could work 24/7 with just item people want to give me for consignment. Best part,,no upfront cost!!
Your the man Craigslist Hunter. Ive been selling on ebay for awhile but your videos have been very helpful. I have put some of your suggestions to the test and they worked like a charm. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the video, Pete. I have 900 in my store and your video has taught me that I need to get even more in there. I started eBay when 5 out of every 10 items sold, but that was when it was just a hobby for me. Times have changed and it's not as easy anymore. Your videos are always so inspirational. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Glad you are doing well I hope u still are doing well Pls let me know We're from Glasgow Scotland uk 🏴🇬🇧 We love all Pete's videos also are you going make videos?? Thank you 💯🏴🇬🇧💯🇺🇸🙏
great video! really truthful and awesome info. What I would add is, if you are new to reselling always remember there is a risk Always know you can get scammed or ripped off by the buyer and loose the money you have invested or spend a Lot of time trying to get your money back. I have been reselling for a couple years trying to grow to full time, and the higher dollar, more popular item tend to attract scammers. Just beware not to jump in to fast if you don't have the money to risk. It would be good to see Pete put up a video on avoiding scammers and fake items. Thanks Pete !!!
Hey Pete, I have had an ad up on my local site for the last few weeks now and it has had a huge impact on my business. there is a lot of competition in my main sellers so being able to get to the product first has had a huge benefit and is generating quite a bit of cash! Great tip and great video!
I recently started selling on ebay in my spare time. I did not know much about ebay or even how to do it but, I learned everything from your video's and, I thank you so much. I have been selling part time for the past 2 months and I have made over $800 extra income. It really does work. It is a lot of work and, I work full time in the automotive industry for the last 13 years and, someday I want to be a full time re-seller. I would love the freedom. I won't give up on my dream. Please keep the motivation and, video's coming. Great job on teaching how this all works. I could not have gotten started without your advice. Thanks again :)
You have a very good channel here. I love yard sales and Ebay and anyplace I can get my hands on some "junk". Your channel is deifinitly providing a service! I expect your subs will increase significantly over the next few years!!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Pete. You're an inspiration. Good luck with your Chicago shop. The information you give to us is invaluable. I have been picking out here in the South Suburbs of Chicago and I'm new at this game but I really enjoy doing it in my spare time. I look forward to your videos as I know I will always learn something new! God Bless!
Excellant speech and think you have summed this business up in this video. I have been doing this for 9 months and wish I would have seen this when I first started. This is by no means easy and there is alot of money to put in and alot of pitfulls and learning curves along the way. I am no where in your league craig but I hope to strive to opening my own shop one day and be able to earn a very decent income. Thanks for putting the real story out there and gonna subscribe. A++++ all the way
Thank you for your insight and honest advisement. Went out today and purchased an item for resell and net that $20 mark. Much to my surprise, the item sold within an hour or two! You are absolutely correct that quantity in items for inventory will reach a sustainable income when focused on the $20-$30 margin. I will work on my business model to turn this sort-of-hobby into a viable business...Thank you for the videos!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom. You are one of the few people I follow regularly on RUclips and I'm always learning new things from you. I've been in the reselling game part time for almost a year now with plans to grow my business as my children enter school and I have more free time. I've started out slow but I am seeing my nest egg grow and grow so I know this will work if I stay focused and keep on hustling as you said.
Thank you sooo much you are an inspiration to me, I am in the grind as you say and I working toward what you are talking about for almost a year now. Stay focused, I needed to hear that. It is not easy in the beginning, starting with almost nothing, about $50, and growing this business. Now I have close to 1000 items listed on eBay and I am now selling FBA also. I am proof that it can be done. I am not at that sustaining income level yet, but I will keep grinding until I get there, thank you for sharing! So I can learn from the best!
Morning Pete, This is by far one ☝️ one of the best channels on reselling. Continue blessings to you and your loved ones. I show my kids your videos so they have a different perspective about making money and not having the employees mentality...gracias Señor hope you read my txt
Thank you for all the videos you've uploaded, now and in the past! I completely horded out my house on ebay, and that gave me MORE than enough starting capital to start up an eBay business :D
Love this video Pete its all about keeping it real and this is the reason I will continue to stay tuned to your channel I learn something new all the time and your tips have been helping me in more ways than one. I listen to lot of youtube videos but for me the more I listen to them all the more I pick up and learn from and put some idealism to work and the ones that seem to work for me are great and when others not so good I cross them off my list. So far I have put a ton of your info to working use and have not been let down not 1 time. Everything I have watched and took notes on that you provided I have been doing amazing things with, and this one for me as a full timer is very good and thought provoking :)
Hi from Scotland UK 🏴🇬🇧 I wonder did you put his tips to work and maybe have been trading on eBay. Would be glad to find out how well you have done. Many thanks love Pete's videos ❤️❤️❤️💯🇺🇸🙏
I want to thank you for your honest and open conversation about the work you do...I find it to be very inspiring..It makes me want to fallow my dreams...
I subscribed earlier after watching several of your videos. Only did so cause I sensed you're a genuine guy - and this verified it. Thanks Peter. Off to find your CL ad's video now. If we can be of assistance, let us know!
Honest question here. You almost always talk about the different sourcing methods and how you utilize and promote those. People bringing items in, craigslist, ect. But how do you go about selling items from the shop, obviously a large portion of your inventory is not for sale on eBay or Amazon at all. Does the shop really generate enough traffic to sell bigger items consistently? or do you have to do some local advertising, craigslist, ect? It just seems like you would get alot more people in to sell items than to buy items, so how do you manage to push enough merchandise to keep the system balanced?
Love your videos. Haven't been in this business too long myself and am already seeing my money grow. Your work is inspiring and the tips help. Thank you so much!!!
Those are honest advice. He succeeded to a certain point and doesn't need the extra money but helping other give him more satisfaction. Unlike those greedy fools who wants everything and not only that they also trying to take away other people's daily breads, chicken, beef, broccolli.
I love this Man !! Thank you so much for being so real all the time , I love my job but hate the senior Manager a bully causing me anxiety, I work like a dog ( female) and he enjoys just seeing ppl not doing well . I always been top performance and working at this new job for 4 months I am not the powerful strong young lady everyone knows me for . He bullies me and micro manage me and the whole team, i been doing high end fashion for 12 years in top high end designer company in UK but yet this man tells me everyday how and what to do in a small department I now suppose to manage , he tells my team to report to him not me . I am stuck because i have a child and the hours in this store works better for me as I don't have help with my daughter after school club closes at 6 pm so does my store and that works okish but still pay a child minder to collect my daughter till i reach to her. Is a fight really , everyday he talks down to us and the team is petrified of him to report him . He been a store general manager for 18 years there and is all over the Internet about the store bullying manager , staff members do not last , 2 - 3 months max. I never changed job from my last job before stayed 12 years , but here 4 months i feel empty . As I have a lot high end clothes unused that i bought during all this years I was advised to sell on ebay and start selling all this wardrobes that I have and dont wear . I love selling at work people call me the money magnet i earn great commission and bonus hence why that manager hates me , customers are always asking for me . I love fashion and customer service is my passion. Start ebay 2 months ago selling, but nothing yet that would help me leave my job. I want to be happy i want to be sucessful, i used to donate so much because i buy tons ,( shopaholic) but now after watching people like you Craig I am a changed person . Please advise me in ways that can help me be a top seller to have more sales so I can leave that hell I go to 5 days a week, well from next week 6 days straight working with an awful human being is destroying the woman that I am . Thank you if you read this .xxx
I wish i would have known about you about 10 years ago! I paid a man 100.00 dollars to show me how to sell things on Ebay! And it was nothing but a big waste of time and money! I literally threw my money down the proverbial drain. I cried when he left that day because he didnt really tell or show me a damn thing. Excuse my cussing! I was heart sick! My hubby died in 2003 and when we were still working i bought lots of crafting things. He was in very bad health and i have a bad back. I knew he would go before me. I couldnt survive on disability. So to make it short. All that craft stuff i acquired over 5,000 dollars worth i started to make things IFaberge goose eggs they are gorgeous, some can go for thousands of dollars or even 100 to 200! I tried to get on consignment with someone couldnt find anyone. I have been in the survival mode since 2003 i dont want another hubby or even a BF. I just want to keep my house and make some money.And i can do it. I make beautiful things. I do scrapbooking crochet lots of things. I decorate cigar boxes make purses and jewel boxes. I have a huge investment in allmy craft things but i cant make any money! I was on Craigs list>>nothing imon Ebay. Im afraid to sell i dont know how to do the bidding thing. im still learning, im not dumb! I just dont know how to get someone to sell things for me or show me how. I learned more from you in 5 minutes then that idiot guy i gave 100 bucks to in 3 hours wasted time! Wish i wouold have been able to hear you back then. I would be making money now! Thanks for your advice Love your videos.
Thank you Erica! I was just thinking about doing that the other day! I was going to open one but i didnt follow through! But now i think i will. What knocked me down i had a Zibbet shop and didnt sell anything. I was heartbroken! So i never bothered with Etsy! BUt i have changed my mind! Thank you for your advice your right. Hugs!
Great info. I've only watched two of your videos, but I'll be watching more. I have been selling books on Amazon FBA for the last 4.5 months. I've only reached $1,900 in sales per month, but consistently for the past 2.5 months. I've been thinking about getting into the eBay game to increase my income. I've sold stuff in the last in eBay, but never full-time. Thank you for the extra push that I needed.
Own a shop as well you would be surprise as much foot traffic you get and as Pete has said in past video location is one of the key when we opening our shop we went to the location for 2 day and counted car and people the best we could... Great Video Peter and look like your new location will be Great as well
Great vid as always Pete! please keep em coming. how to list fast and efficient would also be a great next vid.. I find that I can source well from various places but listing is a pain and takes way too much time with appropriate pics setup etc.. gotta have a perm setup connected to the computer which I don't have bec I am just hobbying it now but I do want to more professional in this
Pete, great info. My goal is to get to that point where I sell higher ticket items so that I won't have to work too hard at this. I just want to make enough to supplement household budget and buy what I need as I need it...maybe $4000 a month. Love your videos! Would love to stop by your shop, but as I don't drive yet and my husband is always working, can't seem to find the time. Maybe when you open your Chicago store...I live in the North West side of Chicago. Tfs!
Trying to do this in my rural area which is a bit challenging. I have another business and fo Ebay reselling in between. Coming up on my first year and I've grossed close to 30k, although one of the sales was a single rare photograph that sold in a gallery auction for 6500.00 (my take) which I paid 4.00 for. Won't find one of those every year.... We have about 5 local thrift stores where I've found most of my stuff, but I'm n the process of trying to locate small local auctions I can add to my sources. Have been watching Craigslist Hunter about a year now and can't say enough about how much it's helped me. So true there is no get rich quick scheme involved in this, but just consistent hard work that makes it work. The one huge positive aspect is that I really enjoy it, it's like treasure hunting. I had a good metal detector for awhile and all I found was a few old coins , but the thrill of the hunt was really fun. This reselling is like that although the monetary rewards are much greater. I'd love to add an employee and ramp up this business but I need to find more sources for items before I can do that. Am interested in seeing how and where you place your Craigslist wanted items ads, as you mentioned in this video for your next installment, I think this may be something that that will help my business. Thanks for taking the time in sharing your experiences with us, really great of you to do that.
Thanks for the video. I have been a full time Amazon seller for 3 years now and it is getting tougher. So, I am blending ebay into my strategy. The bottom line is you need to work....a lot. It seems like when I am awake I am working.
Thank you very much for sharing your ways of doing business. I just started eBay, I will need to go for the first option and then work my way up to the 2nd option :)
Your so awesome!! Thanks for your humbleness and desire to help others. Your so inspiring!! God bless you and congratulations on your new locations! Tfs!! -Christine
thanks for your trouth speaking. I started this thing for tow months and im already did good. the thing I did after I sold an item that I got from old lady for good profit, I reched out to her again and I gave her some of the profit and now she always have something for me to sell
Hey Pete, have you done a vintage audio tour of your personal set up at home? Also I'm wondering what kind of stuff you hold on to that you acquire while hunting. Stuff that you find neat enough to keep for your home. I started reselling and have run into stuff that I didn't want to sell.
Hi Pete, thank you so much for your advice, you're truly a good guy by sharing all this info. Prior to opening your stores and having people come to you with items to sell, how did you learn what was resellable? Did you do research? Was it just a feeling that a particular item would resell? I'm starting out and I think what I would like to buy might not be what others would buy. Just a little confused. Again, thanks. Michael
Thank you for sharing your views and experienced .pete do you also deal with small manufacturer that works for your needs and demand base on exclusive item or limited supply?
Pure gold! This is my second time watching this since finding your channel two years ago. I want to thank you Pete for all the free knowledge you share! It really is a shame most of your new followers will never see these old videos.
By far one of the best reselling vidoes I've ever seen- thank you so much for making it!
Your a quality human. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Andrew Kolodzi
Pete you're a good dude man and I appreciate your thoughtfulness and honesty about this business. I agree, AZ too retail arbitrage is a cut throat business model and I did it for a couple of years and lost money doing it. I went back to my roots and made a ton of money selling thrift items on eBay and fell back in love with my margins compared to RA. Folks stay focus and true to your business model that you come up with.
You're the most genuine guy when it comes to reselling. You don't need to market or advertise yourself in a fashion like others do on RUclips. I don't know you personally, but I can tell you really care about your viewers, with what you do, and ultimately helping others. Mindset & taking action is everything and I want to thank you for helping me & others in my life, most likely a handful of people, people should realize this from your philosophy.
Freedom is even better than money, as long as you have enough money to be free.
Money is your freedom
You aren’t free without money
Pete- Really appreciate your sincerity and compassion for the business. Also your knowledge and real world thoughts on the business. I check your video's out all the time and always learn something new and am inspired . Thanks My Friend for sharing your knowledge. It is greatly appreciated

This man genuinely cars.
We are truly blessed to have you.

Oh it's 6 years ago!!
So I do wish you Well !!!!
Let me know please as 6 years on from this video, you will be doing much Better as time goes on.
great video! really truthful and awesome info.
What I would add is, if you are new to reselling always remember there is a risk
Always know you can get scammed or ripped off by the buyer and loose the money you have invested
or spend a Lot of time trying to get your money back.
I have been reselling for a couple years trying to grow to full time, and the higher dollar, more popular item tend
to attract scammers. Just beware not to jump in to fast if you don't have the money to risk.
It would be good to see Pete put up a video on avoiding scammers and fake items.
Thanks Pete !!!

Much needed video for all re-sellers. Thanks man.

Also glad you still have 50 degree weather. It has been ice cold in Cleveland, under 35 every time I have been out for the last 4 days haha.
Honest question here.
You almost always talk about the different sourcing methods and how you utilize and promote those. People bringing items in, craigslist, ect. But how do you go about selling items from the shop, obviously a large portion of your inventory is not for sale on eBay or Amazon at all. Does the shop really generate enough traffic to sell bigger items consistently? or do you have to do some local advertising, craigslist, ect? It just seems like you would get alot more people in to sell items than to buy items, so how do you manage to push enough merchandise to keep the system balanced?
Love your videos. Haven't been in this business too long myself and am already seeing my money grow. Your work is inspiring and the tips help. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for filling us in on this! I've been wondering this for a few years now!
Thanks so much for this video.. your so genuine... That's hard to find these days..
Very inspirational brother!!! The realist channel on RUclips!!!
Those are honest advice. He succeeded to a certain point and doesn't need the extra money but helping other give him more satisfaction. Unlike those greedy fools who wants everything and not only that they also trying to take away other people's daily breads, chicken, beef, broccolli.
I love this Man !! Thank you so much for being so real all the time , I love my job but hate the senior Manager a bully causing me anxiety, I work like a dog ( female) and he enjoys just seeing ppl not doing well .
I always been top performance and working at this new job for 4 months I am not the powerful strong young lady everyone knows me for .
He bullies me and micro manage me and the whole team, i been doing high end fashion for 12 years in top high end designer company in UK but yet this man tells me everyday how and what to do in a small department I now suppose to manage , he tells my team to report to him not me .
I am stuck because i have a child and the hours in this store works better for me as I don't have help with my daughter after school club closes at 6 pm so does my store and that works okish but still pay a child minder to collect my daughter till i reach to her.
Is a fight really , everyday he talks down to us and the team is petrified of him to report him .
He been a store general manager for 18 years there and is all over the Internet about the store bullying manager , staff members do not last , 2 - 3 months max. I never changed job from my last job before stayed 12 years , but here 4 months i feel empty .
As I have a lot high end clothes unused that i bought during all this years I was advised to sell on ebay and start selling all this wardrobes that I have and dont wear .
I love selling at work people call me the money magnet i earn great commission and bonus hence why that manager hates me , customers are always asking for me .
I love fashion and customer service is my passion.
Start ebay 2 months ago selling, but nothing yet that would help me leave my job.
I want to be happy i want to be sucessful, i used to donate so much because i buy tons ,( shopaholic) but now after watching people like you Craig I am a changed person .
Please advise me in ways that can help me be a top seller to have more sales so I can leave that hell I go to 5 days a week, well from next week 6 days straight working with an awful human being is destroying the woman that I am .
Thank you if you read this .xxx

IFaberge goose eggs they are gorgeous, some can go for thousands of dollars or even 100 to 200! I tried to get on consignment with someone couldnt find anyone. I have been in the survival mode since 2003 i dont want another hubby or even a BF. I just want to keep my house and make some money.And i can do it. I make beautiful things. I do scrapbooking crochet lots of things. I decorate cigar boxes make purses and jewel boxes. I have a huge investment in allmy craft things but i cant make any money! I was on Craigs list>>nothing imon Ebay. Im afraid to sell i dont know how to do the bidding thing. im still learning, im not dumb! I just dont know how to get someone to sell things for me or show me how. I learned more from you in 5 minutes then that idiot guy i gave 100 bucks to in 3 hours wasted time! Wish i wouold have been able to hear you back then. I would be making money now! Thanks for your advice Love your videos.
You should open an etsy shop! Lots of crafty people over there. google "etsy" and it should pop up
Thank you Erica! I was just thinking about doing that the other day! I was going to open one but i didnt follow through! But now i think i will. What knocked me down i had a Zibbet shop and didnt sell anything. I was heartbroken! So i never bothered with Etsy! BUt i have changed my mind! Thank you for your advice your right. Hugs!
+babyRoses7 no problem!
Erica is correct. If you make things, Etsy is the way to go! Good luck
Etsy?
This guy is a legend.
This guy is fantastic- thanks!
Best video yet! I have come pretty far from your advice, soon I will start making RUclips videos also and I will give you a lot of credit!
Thank you. This is insightful. You have an amazing heart to help people like you do.
Thanks for another vid. It is encouraging. Good luck on the new store.
You inspire us..thats why we grind everyday. LIVE LAUGH LIST.!!
Great info. I've only watched two of your videos, but I'll be watching more. I have been selling books on Amazon FBA for the last 4.5 months. I've only reached $1,900 in sales per month, but consistently for the past 2.5 months. I've been thinking about getting into the eBay game to increase my income. I've sold stuff in the last in eBay, but never full-time. Thank you for the extra push that I needed.
Just books & made almost $2,000? Wow!
great love the video please keep them going don't stop
Thank you. We hear a million crazy stories too.
Don't just talk about it(everyday I talk about buying and selling on eBay but do nothing)do it! Loved the video.
Great advice,very generous of you to share.
Own a shop as well you would be surprise as much foot traffic you get and as Pete has said in past video location is one of the key when we opening our shop we went to the location for 2 day and counted car and people the best we could... Great Video Peter and look like your new location will be Great as well
I really appreciate and look forward to each of your videos. Thank you for the help!
Great video Man U know what your talking about! Your the realist one out there!
Thank you for telling it how it really is. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for your candid videos.
Nice Job My friend you broke it down :-) We hope the weather continues to be nice over there .
One of your best videos, thank you.
Great vid as always Pete! please keep em coming. how to list fast and efficient would also be a great next vid.. I find that I can source well from various places but listing is a pain and takes way too much time with appropriate pics setup etc.. gotta have a perm setup connected to the computer which I don't have bec I am just hobbying it now but I do want to more professional in this
Enjoy your videos, for a while now. Thanks for you insight.
Pete, great info. My goal is to get to that point where I sell higher ticket items so that I won't have to work too hard at this. I just want to make enough to supplement household budget and buy what I need as I need it...maybe $4000 a month. Love your videos! Would love to stop by your shop, but as I don't drive yet and my husband is always working, can't seem to find the time. Maybe when you open your Chicago store...I live in the North West side of Chicago. Tfs!
man you've got years of good content. Where you're at in this video looks nice
Another great motivational video, Hunter! I would give you two thumbs up if possible!
THX PETE VERY EDUCATIONAL!
Thanks so much for your videos, I appreciate your advice and comments
Great advice like this keeps me watching your stuff.
Im just getting into this! I love your videos! Thanks!
Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Trying to do this in my rural area which is a bit challenging. I have another business and fo Ebay reselling in between. Coming up on my first year and I've grossed close to 30k, although one of the sales was a single rare photograph that sold in a gallery auction for 6500.00 (my take) which I paid 4.00 for. Won't find one of those every year....
We have about 5 local thrift stores where I've found most of my stuff, but I'm n the process of trying to locate small local auctions I can add to my sources.
Have been watching Craigslist Hunter about a year now and can't say enough about how much it's helped me. So true there is no get rich quick scheme involved in this, but just consistent hard work that makes it work. The one huge positive aspect is that I really enjoy it, it's like treasure hunting. I had a good metal detector for awhile and all I found was a few old coins , but the thrill of the hunt was really fun. This reselling is like that although the monetary rewards are much greater.
I'd love to add an employee and ramp up this business but I need to find more sources for items before I can do that.
Am interested in seeing how and where you place your Craigslist wanted items ads, as you mentioned in this video for your next installment, I think this may be something that that will help my business.
Thanks for taking the time in sharing your experiences with us, really great of you to do that.
What kind of items you look for?
Another great video been watching one after another.. been selling since dec 21
Awesome advice! Thank you for haring your knowledge. Keep up the great work!
This is 100% truth even now February 2019, great video. You should republish it so people that won’t see it because it’s an old video.
Thanks for the video. I have been a full time Amazon seller for 3 years now and it is getting tougher. So, I am blending ebay into my strategy. The bottom line is you need to work....a lot. It seems like when I am awake I am working.
This guy knows what he is taking about.
Love Ur videos Pete

Love from Glasgow Scotland UK 🏴🇬🇧

Craiglist hunter number one!
thanks Pete for all that you provide👍
I THINK YOU R A HANDSOME GUY AND SMART good luck
Hey Pete, have you done a vintage audio tour of your personal set up at home? Also I'm wondering what kind of stuff you hold on to that you acquire while hunting. Stuff that you find neat enough to keep for your home. I started reselling and have run into stuff that I didn't want to sell.
you are awesome Peter and thank you..
Hi Pete, thank you so much for your advice, you're truly a good guy by sharing all this info. Prior to opening your stores and having people come to you with items to sell, how did you learn what was resellable? Did you do research? Was it just a feeling that a particular item would resell? I'm starting out and I think what I would like to buy might not be what others would buy. Just a little confused. Again, thanks. Michael
thanks for your thoughts, keep repeating yourself
Thank you for sharing your views and experienced .pete do you also deal with small manufacturer that works for your needs and demand base on exclusive item or limited supply?
Thanks for the video, great view.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you you’re very honest and in my world that means a whole lot
