Exciting. Sounds like some fun is being planned π I agree that it feels good to have different streams of income that are totally unrelated. Though I always remind people that if shit really hits the fan, all streams of income will likely get affected.
Where are you storing all your items if you currently dont have a warehouse on site?
Agreed on the post pounder.
That second piece could be a tool to install a wire fence? Tighten up the wire as its being stretched?

Very smart. I’ve seen sellers who really get lured into the volume sales of Amazon and go all in. Makes sense to keep your hand in different platforms.
Other than paying off your mortgage (which is a BIG deal), do you have any other near or long term goals? What happens when you’re generating $100k+ cash a year with no where to spend it?
Sales have REALLY slowed down for us the last month. I really do think people are going outside and starting to travel. It’ll be interesting to see if prices at auctions go down as sellers realize the bonanza is over.
Thanks. We’ll take the cross country high five. Save you on gas.
Hope your son has found the college he wants to attend? Thanks for buying coffee from us π
You always seem to find and sell the cool, weird stuff that we like. Im glad sales have been good.
We can feel the world starting to open back up in our little small town. We recently got the vaccine and makes us feel better about mixing publicly.
The new expanded character ability on feedback is crazy. Someone just wrote me a book for feedback. Itβs not going to be good when I get a negative with a diatribe.
True. But maybe it’ll give people enough rope to hang themselves. As a buyer, I’ll dismiss a crazy diatribe.
Thanks for stopping by. Opening day is always going to be bus. Let’s see what its like in a month π
Like eBay, we experiment on how much we can charge and what the market will bear. If you think a hotel room is $100-$150, then a three bedroom private home has a certain price as well. Plus, we think we’re on the higher end of quality for the area. People pay for quality.
That being said, properties have pretty high carrying and maintenance costs. But it has been profitable for us.
Just curious why you change your seller ID on eBay. I’ve felt that no one really cares what the store name or seller ID is.
I am super appreciative to hear your update. Amazing how far you’ve come in just 2.5 years! Shows what you can accomplish if you focus and follow through.
Love that you’re almost done paying off all your debt. That’s rare and a big deal.
–How much time do you spend each day on your business. Since you are very heavy Amazon, there’s a perception that Amazon sellers can automate everything (buy from china, ship directly to amazon warehouse, FBA ships).
–You still seem to do well on eBay but it is much smaller profits than Amazon. Any reason why you dont just go all Amazon?
–Do you still scavenge for used items? Or are you just selling new items (or new returns)?
We’d list those items on Bonanza since they seemed to never flag items. But it’s been a while since we’ve done that.
It’s heartening to see your sales are good. And yes, its awesome that sales happen each week whether we list or not. All the work has been front loaded!
