    Really good content, Mel. I like that you’re stretching out into these long-form interviews. You have a lot of natural charm and charisma, and I think you can even break out of the reselling space with different kinds of vlogs.

    An informative interview, Mel. Well done. I'm glad to see you interviewing an Australian reseller. It's a very different market compared to the US market. I would like to see more Australian content. 👏👏

    After watching your interview with Technsports I was feeling more inspired to get through my death pile. I was missing yard sales because I had a couple bulk buys (womens clothing and jewelry plus other death pile) that I don't like to list but got a great deal on them and needed to list. Plowed through all of that over the weekend, photographing and drafting 60+ listings (compared to my normal 10-20/week). I was out of free listings for Sept so I posted them all the first couple days of Oct! Already sold 3 items! Allowed myself to go to 2 community sales this weekend and picked up some great finds. All but a couple death pile items are listed now and I forced myself to list the old before I touched the new! Now this week I can work on the items I just picked up (and sprinkle in the jewelry). Thank you for the inspiration to get moving and get listing!

    Great Vid. I was one of the early adopters of this shop. Was there when it was only one small section of games and they were still unpacking and bringing inventory in !!! It definitely didn't look like a shop then 🤣 But it's been great to watch it grow and go from strength to strength. Love going in to browse and sometimes spend a tonne getting games and LP's. Very nice interview 👍

    Really interesting and complements on the interviewing. In NZ we don't have a big enough market to just sell locally on ebay. Ebay is really only for overseas selling. For that reason TradeMe in NZ is a major marketplace online. For Australians, I am surprised that you don't consider NZ part of your domestic selling market.

    His story was so similar to Nic’s. They both started in the 90s selling Game & Watch and the story of the reason why he started the shop is identical to ours! So spooky.

      Yes you’re right! Very similar stories! It’s so interesting hearing other resellers stories.

    Great video Mel. Interesting to hear how other people run their business. On a side note you talk about a disc cleaner which we are in the process of looking for a small one but have seen some bad reviews. Do you have any recommendations for one or brand to look at. Cheers in advance and keep up the great work
