Great podcast! I have a pile of star notes. I have been collecting them for years for fun I guess. I will happily kondo them to ebay if people buy them! Do they sell well?
I work every third day for 24 hours. So I am home two days and then go to work. Other firefighters work one job 24 hours then go to another job for another 24 hours. Then most go home for 24 hours and do it all over again. Its two salaries but not overtime because its two different departments. Its weird I know but I love my job. It affords me time to have another interesting job like ebay and keep the lights on at home. The two job thing can trap guys so easily though. One pay check is for there house the other for there brand new truck. Its easy to trap yourself at the fire station. I was and am determined to never get into this cycle. The union side of it is a whole other discussion but fire and police cant collective bargain so not much pull there. I started selling shoes on ebay. But now I sell anything I come across. I have sold some many things from listening to the podcast and then going out to see what I can find. I always try to expand my knowledge base as well as be creative about what I am looking for to sell. I have sold all the normal bread and butter. I have sold a haunted doll, I have listed things in the back of my car, I have sold the weirdest things just to experiment. My wife and I have been discussing strategy. I have been selling anything and everything. Now that she is in the game, I have been trying to come up with something she can get behind and remain positive about. Yesterday we went out and bought 15 pair of vintage style jeans and listed them together. I keep reminding her its an investment in knowledge and we will figure it out together. Anyways, thanks everyone for being welcoming.
