I sold my very first thing in 2007 actually on Amazon.
I sold an old video game I had.
Realized I could make some money selling stuff online.
Started just with a couple of things and have slowly built.
You know, I have over 2000 things listed in my eBay store, so it's kind of built into a big thing.
So the process is we buy the stuff, we transport it home, and then there's a lot of work to do.
Store it, list it, package it.
So there's kind of like this chain process.
You know, on any given busy day, we're going to 30+ garage sales.
We wake up early in the morning and we start mapping it out.
We kind of star which ones look promising.
We want to get to the good ones first and then kind of go from there.
You know, I've had some great finds over the years.
I've had- You know, you buy a vintage toy for five bucks and you sell it for 350 bucks and you buy a vintage T-shirt for a dollar, you sell it for $300.
So there's some big scores sometimes.
And sometimes, you know, if I can make five bucks off something, that's great too.
I've also had items that I've bought trying to flip, and I've taken them to Goodwill or Savers, because it really wasn't worth it either.
So it's the treasure hunt of finding things.
You never know what you're going to find at a garage sale or a thrift store.
And it's just it's very exciting.
