If I created a shortlist of the most effective decision I made in streamlining and business and increasing my bottom line, switching to shipping almost everything in poly mailers would be in the top 3 (along with using a thermal label printer and using cross-posting software). If you are on the brink of utilizing poly …
My wife and I just moved to a new city. Maybe I’m just dumb but I could not even fathom how many clothes we had to move. Dozens of garbage bags and boxes full of them. To put it into perspective, my wife gave away or donated more than 50 PAIR OF SHOES! (and I …
Most people who start a small business do so on a shoestring budget. For the longest time after I started my eBay business, I didn’t care what the best thermal printer was or the best shipping scale. I just wanted the cheapest possible item that would do its job without breaking or causing issues. Which …
I did some math. I hated it but it had to be done. In the past 5 years, I reckon I’ve spent well over 2,000 hours in thrift stores. As someone who flips thrift-store finds full-time for a living this isn’t super surprising. But the idea that I’ve bought nearly 10,000 items during that time …

When I tell people that I’m a full-time reseller I typically get one of three responses: “Oh…how nice…” (what they really mean is, “When are you going to get a real job?) “Aren’t you stealing from poor people?” “Isn’t reselling illegal?” The first two I’ve gotten used to and typically have my canned responses ready. …
Dropshipping is not a new concept. Many people (including myself) have been dropshipping on sites such as eBay for years. Before that, people drop shipped via catalogs or newspapers ads. In other words, the business model is old and stale. Shrinking profit margins may have made traditional dropshipping untenable for new hustlers but it’s not …
Mystery boxes have always been exciting to me. The excitement of something choosing random (possibly extremely valuable) items and mailing them to me is just about the same as discovering a treasure chest. Or a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. I was super excited a month ago to learn …
If you’re anything like me, your closet is full of things that you don’t really want (and rarely wear) but you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of. Normally it’s because I feel like getting rid of it will be like admitting that I shouldn’t have wasted money on in the first place. But …
