With the rash of interest in buying unclaimed mail lately (thank to tiktok) it only seems fit to share the secrets of what we’ve been doing for years. Getting out sticking mits on undelivered mail and packages. Surprisingly, buying unclaimed mail is not as difficult as you might think. It doesn’t involve shifty go-betweens or …
If there is one thing that will assure the quick demise of your career on eBay, it will be getting stuck at thrift stores. I get it, I love thrift stores too. The thrill of the hunt, the occasional home run, and the potential to find amazing stuff for yourself (that you desperately need, right?) …
About a year ago I hit a wall when it came to my eBay reselling business.

I can’t even count the number of times I’ve put back sweaters and jackets at a thrift store because they have more pills than a junkie. Unfortunately, it’s just not thrifted stuff that has a pilling problem. Keeping my Patagonia Better Sweater free of pilling is a job in and of itself. For some reason, …
