Dave, you are my favorite RUclipsr, hands down. You are REAL and this video helped me realize my own laziness. Thanks for the kick in the a$$ to get listing! Keep up the great videos and work! - Jenn, TheThriftyBaker
Hi Dave, you are so genuine and I love it. As you've stated in the past, you are a part time reseller so don't let all the negative Nancys in your head. You have a full time job outside of reselling and a beautiful family. You actually have your priorities in the right place. Glad you enjoyed the family weekend. I know its important to list, but you've listed some today and that's a start. 😊
My god people are ridiculously mean for absolutely no reason. All of labs are really bad right now so I too am on a “time to get healthier” journey. I hope those ugly comments don’t get to you because the vast majority of us love how real you are!!!
It’s ridiculous how much I relate to you. Recently, I’ve been noticing that my ADHD affects so many aspects of my life, way more than I ever thought. I heard a quote that has been a helpful mantra to tell myself. “Anything worth doing, is also worth half-assing”. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
DAVE, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT HAVING THE FLU MADE IT HARDER TO EXERCISE. YOUR LUNGS ARE IMPAIRED FROM THE TRAUMA IF FLU. START SLOW, JUST WALK WITH WEIGHTS. INCREASE DISTANCE DAILY. I HAD THE FLU FOR 8 DAYS AND LOST 12 POUNDS. I GET OUT OF BREATH JUST CARRYING IN A BAG OF GROCERIES. TAKE IT EASY UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER. 💕
When ever I feel like a piece of crap or down about my resale practices on Mercari I just watch one of your videos and poof all is right with the world again. Thanks Dave!
Love your honesty. Give yourself grace on the diet. It’s always a struggle but you have to just have to be nice to yourself if you go off track and jump right back on as quick as you can. Your health is worth the small changes you can make. I am cheering you on.
Dave you’re doing great! Don’t beat yourself up, everyone needs a breather sometimes. I think it’s amazing all that you have accomplished with all of your channels including a day job! Keep up the good work! You got this! Much love from San Antonio Texas ☀️☀️
Hope you blocked that person who was so disrespectful on Facebook. As a mom of 3 boys I love to see the closeness you have with your Mom. She is probably the happiest Mom in the World. Never be ashamed showing love and respect for the Woman who brought you up into the Man you are today.
I list 10 every day I release 5 and save 5 so that on the weekends I don't list just release my saved ones so I can spend my time with my hubby when he is off work. Keep going you can list get a routine going and do your listings the same time every day when it becomes routine you won't think anything about it. love Annas Squish mellow collection how fun . keep up the great videos
Why don’t you feature doing listings on your videos regularly? You’ll still be talking about everything and your audience will still watch your videos!
I also have a FT job. For every 5 listings the 6th one gets scheduled on inkfrog. You can save in your drafts on ebay too. So on the days you really get on a listing roll, you can help your future lazy or busy self. I try to get a month ahead and that way when life is too busy you still have items going up everyday.
One thing that I found to be very helpful for my store when I cannot list is to end 50-100 older items, sell similar, adjust price and bam! New items listed
You are going to do great with your fitness and weight loss goals! Be patient with yourself and don't let those haters get to you - I , along with your other peeps, have your your back 🤗😁
Going to Universal helps you meet your fitness goals. The amount of walking you do greatly increases your TDEE, total daily energy expenditure. Its slow cardio.
Love your youtubes. I send encouragement to you in your weight loss journey. My son is starting hoping to lose 120 lbs. He got a trainer and I told him if he lost it I would pay for his trainer with my ebay profits
Hi Dave, i would definitely try to factory restore the computer. If you can't, well no loss as you are already hesitant to sell it anyway so already prepared to not sell. So may as well give it a go.
Dave.... I lost 70 lbs !!! Was at 310 lbs and made the decision that I HAD to do something to live longer and healthier. What I did was QUIT all sweets and ate less portion sizes along with a lot of Broccoli which I hate but was dedicated to do it ! I am down to 240 but am 6'1, and everyone noticed the weight loss. Also, I feel SO MUCH better ! 70 years old and working for getting to 90 :) LOL . Wife is 15 years younger than me so I have to live a long time. LOL ... Thinking about doing the same again and try to lose another 20 - 25 lbs. Praying for you to be successful with your weight loss endeavor !!
Dave you are awesome. Don’t listen to those folks!! It’s great you got goals that is what the new year is about!! I was the same last year with listing so this year I am listing 3 days a week, three items. Keep up the good work friend. If I was in FL I would help you list. I kinda of enjoy it.
Probably a good idea for next time you go to Estate sell or some huge sell, to focus on items that will sell within the next 2 weeks. Not items that will take awhile to sell. That way will motivate you to list if when your doing so your thought will be this will sell fast.
Right there with you, man. Love listening to you while I work! I just got a vendor booth and trying to figure out how to manage my time/inventory between both that and ebay (when I couldn't manage my time with JUST eBay before). haha. Hang in there!
You have a beautiful soul. And always spend time with the kiddos. I have an 11 yr and a 5 yr and then two that are 23 and 22 and it seems like once they hit junior high the time just sped by. Moving out, off to college, and now they both have graduated university and have careers. It goes FAST.
I just had Covid and lost my smell which greatly reduces flavors. Gonna use it to kick start eating healthier. I just love your realness and the thumbnail was On Point!
Someone who picks on someone else is nothing but a bully and they have issues. They are a small person. I like your voice. Don't change. Although when health is concerned, follow your doctor's advice!
Not clickbait at all! Straight to the point even. Kudos! It was 12 pictures. Rumur has it that it has/will be increasing to 24 pictures per listing. But I myself have also not listed in quite some time, so I couldn't tell you if it's in effect as of now. Your Me Cool TV return sounds like a scam or buyers remorse with all the anger they invested into the description for returning. Did you not test before listing?
Congratulations on your weight loss journey Dave! Granted about the only good thing about getting sick is losing weight, though not the recommended course lol. Be kind to yourself regarding listing, you’ve been sick and hanging out with your family. I’m sure your kids were excited to hang out with Dad instead of watching him work. They’re only little for a short time, your time with family is much more important than the store. I hope you had a lot of fun 😊💐
I always reset computers before selling them. it will maximize the resell value. It isn't hard to reset one like that. I also make sure the OS is up to date.
dave i like using fruits for sweets to but try and stay away from oranges...lots of vitamin c but also tons of natural sugar and you dont need that right now.
Always wipe a PC or any hard drive you sell. I work in IT for a company and we don't even throw away/recycle hard drives without drilling a hole in them first (Essentially wiping it).
Nothing wrong with popcorn on a diet if it's without butter. It's very good fiber which we need to move the food through our digestive system which can help us lose weight
Kind o slacked off on my listing also the past couple months. Now that the holiday season is over told myself to get listing again, so I did. I found once I started listing was not long I was back in the listing groove. Going to try and list at least 10+ things fri-sun and at least 5 things a day mon-thu before I go to work.. Good luck on the weight loss. You can do this..
OMG I can't hardly believe it. I was sick and didn't list in 10 days, I took everything down and relisted everything and it jump started my store. After that I listed 17 books because they were quick and easy to list and started from there. Good Luck 🤞
I do want to say that there is a misconception about eggs. Eggs do have cholesterol in in but they actually have what they call HDL which actually lowers cholesterol levels the one you don't want is LDL that one is what you find in like cheese and ice cream. Eggs wouldn't be the cause of your higher cholesterol its other things. I eat 2 eggs a day and my levels are fine I have been doing this for at least 3 years and I have not had issues.
Hey Dave!! Can you do a quick walk thru of your workflow for Listing? Do you list and make drafts then take pictures? Just curious. Thanks for videos man!
It's really such a merry go round. I never intended to build a store with thousands of items so that eBay was my sole source of income. But at the same time, you want to have a nice side income of say a thousand dollars a month. To get sales though, you have to list. To list, you have to source to find items and spend the money to purchase those items. Because the sales are slow, you have to purchase more to list more. Because the more you list, the more you have, the more you sell. Eventually, you find that the now couple hundred items that you kept at your house no longer fits. So you get a storage unit and grow. And ultimately, with a 700 item store, you still only sell one or two items a day. And if you try to curb your growth to keep it manageable for your lifestyle, and don't list several items or more a day to appease the algorithm, your sales tank and you end up wondering why you're doing it at all. Maybe that's just me though.
I would wipe the hard drive, reinstall a new system on it, if you are able to. You could create a new user account, make it the account manager, then delete the previous owner's account (if you know how to manage a Mac system). At the very least, if you've gotten into the computer, delete any user passwords, leave password field empty, and manually go thru the computer and delete all photos and personal files you can find. There's probably RUclips videos showing how to do any of this. I would NOT sell with previous owner's files. Most buyers are going to expect a clean system installed.
Hey Dave, good job on going to the gym, and eating better! One thing that could really help, is adding intermittent fasting. It’s worked for me. Basically, you don’t eat for 16 hours, just drink lots and lots of water. 9pm to 1pm, I don’t eat, only water. (And you’re sleeping most of the time, so it’s not bad.) That, combined with the low calorie and Gym, you should see results quick.
If you have attention deficit that would be why you haven’t listed items. It is hard to concentrate to list things. I do, and it’s hard for me. Start with small goals. You’ll get there. Be patient with yourself.
You have nothing to feel bad about. I have not been listing much either. I have a full time job as well. Good luck on your weight loss journey and you are a great reseller.
Take it slow Dave Ull get there. I have a confession I did laugh at the gym story but it’s only funny because of the way u tell it. Also I have back problems and I’ve started stretching so we are both trying…hang in there.
Don't go crazy when working out in the beginning. Small changes will make it easier to do it long term. Keep working with your trainer and maybe modify it a bit.
I felt bad because I had not listed from before Christmas until just the other day. I just couldn't get motivated to list. I listed a few items then some more the next day. For me I don't like having to decide what to list then take the photos. The listing itself doesn't bother me.
Gotta wipe hard-drives. You should be able to get into safe mode and wipe without auth. Other option is to sell without the hard-drive. Worst case: military secrets, blackmail, illegal content, crypto wallets. I can help. Let me know.
Dave, you are so incredibly honest and sincere. I absolutely love your channel. PLEASE cut yourself some slack! You have a full time job, a full family, all the RUclips stuff (which IS a full time job in itself), not to mention you are an AMAZING son (I think your mother is very lucky and did a great job raising such a hardworking child)! What’s up with this world and the internet nasty trolls that have nothing better to do than call you names and berate you? They are the ones that need to really work on themselves! Good luck with the diet, one day at a time is sometimes all you can do… Oh and I wish my dad would have just on a whim taken me to Universal Studios…..you are a great dad…and a great asset to RUclips as i have learned so much from you. Your honesty inspires me (as corny as that sounds)….ok now I must go list my 5 eBay items! ❤
Hey Dave, love your honesty and being real. Your one of my favorite reseller you tubers. So down to earth, and it's great!!! What's the link to your cooking channel?
Take the hard drive out and destroy it. Then show the rest with the note that it works but no HD. Not sure if it’s the same thing but people that buy storage lockers by are not allowed to sell documents or data with personal information… so possibly same rules ??
you could get done for Data Protection issues you must wipe the data off the device before you sell it and as for the return I would make sure that they haven't switched it out for a broken one
Yeah Dave, watch out they didn’t switch it, that happened to me and Ebay doesn’t even care… after showing original pictures and what was returned was not the original item, just didn’t matter to eBay😡
I don't know if Florida has Jimmy John's but I just love their unwich and to reduce weight this year that is my go-to food on the go. I had a big struggle when I'm out working and then sourcing, spending 80 plus hours a week in the car, a local drive-thru with mostly unhealthy choices used to be my go-to.
I cut out some sugars..no soda, no more energy drinks- I only have one a week anyway but was giving me headaches & not really getting my going anymore. Someone said a lil bottle of coke was 4 days of sugar!! Wow that got to me & not killing myself, but definitely cutting it down. Lost 30lbs in one month over the holidays. Long way to go & hit a wall but still feels good👍🏼
Do a challenge for yourself, you have to list 50 new items within the next 30 days. If you don't list that much then you have to put a higher discount code on your page without changing any prices.
I don’t mind watching you just list! Go to your trailer and take us with you. Select 10 items and come back and list them. I would love to see that! Good luck with your diet, I’m trying to lose weight also!
Go slow. Don’t go all in working out. Because that will make you quit faster. Start with walking to ease yourself into jogging. Also focus on losing the weight first before muscle building. I’m not a nutritionist, but I got really fat 6 1’ 270lbs. So I needed of course to cut out stuff and exercise. But my doctor told me to take it easy first, then go hard, but not so hard. I went all the way down to 235. But I’m at 250 right now. So I gotta get myself motivated again.
You got this buddy! I made a goal to list 5 a day and have done it everyday. Now I need to start addressing my health. And I am so out of shape. I was diagnosed with PCOS in May 2021 and sadly it often causes diabetes and sadly was diagnosed with that too on top of Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disorder. I got to be better to myself and feed myself for fuel not fun.
Try one of those Death pile Piggies. They really helped me out. Not to get stuff out but helped me justify buying more. Lol. Dave I have been there. No worries you will get back into it soon. Get something to chew on like a straw or sugar free gum to get your mind off food.
I say what I shouldnt all the time but if it comes from an honest place I dont think its really that bad. If the product sucks it sucks. Dont worry so much dude.
Thanks for the motivation to do some listings...I too have been sick over the holidays and am finding it hard to get back in the groove. Have you tried intermittent fasting for weight loss? While working out and eating better is still good to do adding in some intermittent fasting is a simple (but not necessarily easy) way to shed some pounds. Has been working for me and my hubby.
Creature Comforts at first I thought it was something political like the Capital Critters which was about mice who lived in the white house or something, but a quick Google search found it was a stop-motion animated series that started as a lone movie by the guy who created Wallace & Gromit characters.

Love this quote! Thanks for sharing! I'm with you, I relate to Dave SO MUCH!
Excellent response from Birdbathbetty!
Show yourself some grace. It's been the holidays, sickness and traveling!
DAVE, YOU ARE CORRECT THAT HAVING THE FLU MADE IT HARDER TO EXERCISE. YOUR LUNGS ARE IMPAIRED FROM THE TRAUMA IF FLU. START SLOW, JUST WALK WITH WEIGHTS. INCREASE DISTANCE DAILY.
I HAD THE FLU FOR 8 DAYS AND LOST 12 POUNDS. I GET OUT OF BREATH JUST CARRYING IN A BAG OF GROCERIES. TAKE IT EASY UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER.
💕
When ever I feel like a piece of crap or down about my resale practices on Mercari I just watch one of your videos and poof all is right with the world again. Thanks Dave!
Ignore the "Mama's boy comment". Mothers don't live forever. Enjoy her company.

You're a great guy. Don't worry about what people think. I enjoy your videos..keep up the good work!
Hope you blocked that person who was so disrespectful on Facebook. As a mom of 3 boys I love to see the closeness you have with your Mom. She is probably the happiest Mom in the World. Never be ashamed showing love and respect for the Woman who brought you up into the Man you are today.
Diana. Yes ..I'm a Mom too and I know how you feel 😵💫
I list 10 every day I release 5 and save 5 so that on the weekends I don't list just release my saved ones so I can spend my time with my hubby when he is off work. Keep going you can list get a routine going and do your listings the same time every day when it becomes routine you won't think anything about it. love Annas Squish mellow collection how fun . keep up the great videos
Oh wow, my daughter wishes she could have that kind of Squishmallow collection!
Im 100% positive you are gonna hit your health goal :)
78 little pairs of eyes watching over your daughter. How cute!
Why don’t you feature doing listings on your videos regularly?
You’ll still be talking about everything and your audience will still watch your videos!
I also have a FT job. For every 5 listings the 6th one gets scheduled on inkfrog. You can save in your drafts on ebay too. So on the days you really get on a listing roll, you can help your future lazy or busy self. I try to get a month ahead and that way when life is too busy you still have items going up everyday.
Annabelle sure is a collecter of the squishmallows!! She has them all organized so neatly!
* Have you tried baking sheet (cookie sheet) with Veggies.. Yummy.. Try fun spices.. Great to stop cholesterol.. stops Diabetes from happening..
One thing that I found to be very helpful for my store when I cannot list is to end 50-100 older items, sell similar, adjust price and bam! New items listed
You are going to do great with your fitness and weight loss goals! Be patient with yourself and don't let those haters get to you - I , along with your other peeps, have your your back 🤗😁

I'm laughing so much at your workout description because I can totally relate.
@ncflipper its called a box wrench or combination wrench my friend. a crecent wrench is adjustable. :)

Man honesty in the work environment is always the best way to do it. The way I see it that's why people hire others. They don't want a yes man lol
Dave you are awesome. Don’t listen to those folks!! It’s great you got goals that is what the new year is about!! I was the same last year with listing so this year I am listing 3 days a week, three items. Keep up the good work friend. If I was in FL I would help you list. I kinda of enjoy it.
Are you in NW Pennsylvania? I hate listing!
28:18 Stupid note about those shoes. If you ever list something with a similar art style its called "Memphis Design". It'll catch good keywords.
Love your honesty. Don’t beat yourself up.
Probably a good idea for next time you go to Estate sell or some huge sell, to focus on items that will sell within the next 2 weeks. Not items that will take awhile to sell. That way will motivate you to list if when your doing so your thought will be this will sell fast.
13:40 boot into target disk mode and secure erase with another Mac using the max secure erase settings?

I love watching your channel! I suffer from “can’t list everyday” syndrome. Lol I hear you!!!
I feel your pain. I've listed 5 things since mid December. Longest break I've ever taken.
Someone who picks on someone else is nothing but a bully and they have issues. They are a small person. I like your voice. Don't change. Although when health is concerned, follow your doctor's advice!
Not clickbait at all! Straight to the point even. Kudos!

get it dave! i thought your face looked thinner before you mentioned dieting! keep up the good work!
Drink water. Sub oatmeal 🥣 for breakfast. Grapes and fruit for snacks. Do some meatless days a couple times a week ✅
Google how to reset the Mac Mini. You will need an iCloud account. Happy New Year!
dave i like using fruits for sweets to but try and stay away from oranges...lots of vitamin c but also tons of natural sugar and you dont need that right now.
I’m in the same boat! It’s been forever. I suppose I’ll list agin someday… not today though 😅
Always wipe a PC or any hard drive you sell. I work in IT for a company and we don't even throw away/recycle hard drives without drilling a hole in them first (Essentially wiping it).

GOOD JOB ON STARTING THE GYM EXERCISE JOURNEY
😂😂You should be a comedian. This made my day because I can relate to you on sooo many levels 😂😂🤜
and check for an app first on your phone for a stud finder-maybe?
Good luck on the weight loss efforts. I am working on similar changes.
OMG I can't hardly believe it. I was sick and didn't list in 10 days, I took everything down and relisted everything and it jump started my store. After that I listed 17 books because they were quick and easy to list and started from there. Good Luck 🤞

Very genuine, as you list your reasons for NOT listing, instead of listing. I could loan you some of my excuses if you get low 😂
Hey Dave!! Can you do a quick walk thru of your workflow for Listing? Do you list and make drafts then take pictures? Just curious. Thanks for videos man!
Excellent idea!! Could be a series of videos!
The most important thing is that you are happy with yourself and your weight loss. People can be nasty online and what they say,

Maybe that's just me though.
Use zeigernik effect to help with listing, incomplete stages aid in behavioral activation. Task initiation usually takes up longest period of time.
I don't mind you listing while you talk to us. Make a pile to list with us. 2 birds
I would wipe the hard drive, reinstall a new system on it, if you are able to.

Why don't you do this on your flipper channel? Part pull orders part listing. I would enjoy watching you do this
Great video enjoy watching thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Gotta wipe hard-drives. You should be able to get into safe mode and wipe without auth. Other option is to sell without the hard-drive. Worst case: military secrets, blackmail, illegal content, crypto wallets.
I can help. Let me know.
Dave, you are so incredibly honest and sincere. I absolutely love your channel. PLEASE cut yourself some slack! You have a full time job, a full family, all the RUclips stuff (which IS a full time job in itself), not to mention you are an AMAZING son (I think your mother is very lucky and did a great job raising such a hardworking child)!
What’s up with this world and the internet nasty trolls that have nothing better to do than call you names and berate you? They are the ones that need to really work on themselves!
Good luck with the diet, one day at a time is sometimes all you can do…
Oh and I wish my dad would have just on a whim taken me to Universal Studios…..you are a great dad…and a great asset to RUclips as i have learned so much from you. Your honesty inspires me (as corny as that sounds)….ok now I must go list my 5 eBay items! ❤
Hey Dave, love your honesty and being real. Your one of my favorite reseller you tubers. So down to earth, and it's great!!!
What's the link to your cooking channel?

@@ADHDaveFlips thank you. Looking forward to watching!
I've heard people losing weight stopping consuming anything with sugar
Take the hard drive out and destroy it. Then show the rest with the note that it works but no HD. Not sure if it’s the same thing but people that buy storage lockers by are not allowed to sell documents or data with personal information… so possibly same rules ??
you could get done for Data Protection issues
you must wipe the data off the device before you sell it
and as for the return I would make sure that they haven't switched it out for a broken one
Yeah Dave, watch out they didn’t switch it, that happened to me and Ebay doesn’t even care… after showing original pictures and what was returned was not the original item, just didn’t matter to eBay😡
I don't know if Florida has Jimmy John's but I just love their unwich and to reduce weight this year that is my go-to food on the go. I had a big struggle when I'm out working and then sourcing, spending 80 plus hours a week in the car, a local drive-thru with mostly unhealthy choices used to be my go-to.
Just face it and getter done
I cut out some sugars..no soda, no more energy drinks- I only have one a week anyway but was giving me headaches & not really getting my going anymore. Someone said a lil bottle of coke was 4 days of sugar!! Wow that got to me & not killing myself, but definitely cutting it down. Lost 30lbs in one month over the holidays. Long way to go & hit a wall but still feels good👍🏼
Sounds cliche but I believe, you only "fail" when you stop trying! I believe in you Dave! :)
Do a challenge for yourself, you have to list 50 new items within the next 30 days. If you don't list that much then you have to put a higher discount code on your page without changing any prices.
I don’t mind watching you just list! Go to your trailer and take us with you. Select 10 items and come back and list them. I would love to see that! Good luck with your diet, I’m trying to lose weight also!
Go slow. Don’t go all in working out. Because that will make you quit faster. Start with walking to ease yourself into jogging. Also focus on losing the weight first before muscle building. I’m not a nutritionist, but I got really fat 6 1’ 270lbs. So I needed of course to cut out stuff and exercise. But my doctor told me to take it easy first, then go hard, but not so hard. I went all the way down to 235. But I’m at 250 right now. So I gotta get myself motivated again.
You got this buddy! I made a goal to list 5 a day and have done it everyday. Now I need to start addressing my health. And I am so out of shape. I was diagnosed with PCOS in May 2021 and sadly it often causes diabetes and sadly was diagnosed with that too on top of Fibromyalgia and an autoimmune disorder. I got to be better to myself and feed myself for fuel not fun.
Still trying to get everything cleaned out, will likely take half a year lol!
I would do a store wide sale of at least 20% off for a weekend to get a burst of sales and then start listing regularly again to wake up the algorithm
Thanks Dave for another good video I think you're doing great at work Family and Diet 😉
Try one of those Death pile Piggies. They really helped me out. Not to get stuff out but helped me justify buying more. Lol.
Dave I have been there. No worries you will get back into it soon. Get something to chew on like a straw or sugar free gum to get your mind off food.
I say what I shouldnt all the time but if it comes from an honest place I dont think its really that bad. If the product sucks it sucks. Dont worry so much dude.
Dave get it together my life has no meaning if I can't watch you 🤦♀️😂 I kept waiting for your video to come up Monday !!
Start listing !
Thanks for the motivation to do some listings...I too have been sick over the holidays and am finding it hard to get back in the groove. Have you tried intermittent fasting for weight loss? While working out and eating better is still good to do adding in some intermittent fasting is a simple (but not necessarily easy) way to shed some pounds. Has been working for me and my hubby.
Love the thumbnail!!
Bro. The videography in the beginning 😍😍😍
Hey it wasn't clickbait. Good job Dave
Creature Comforts at first I thought it was something political like the Capital Critters which was about mice who lived in the white house or something, but a quick Google search found it was a stop-motion animated series that started as a lone movie by the guy who created Wallace & Gromit characters.
