There’s not much more enjoyable than being a reseller and finding out that something you love collecting already is actually worth a bunch of money. That was the situation I was in a couple of years ago when a friend mentioned that they had been unable to find a Dr. Seuss book and ended up …
As a reseller, my entire purpose is to find things that no one else recognizes as valuable and flip them for a ton of money. Typically this involves crawling through thrift stores, cleaning/fixing what I find, and then reselling it on eBay (for up to $15,000/month in sales). Several years ago one of the niches …
If you’ve been flipping or collecting antiques for any length of time you’ve probably realized that just about everyone knows about the same few things. Every time I walk into an estate sale I find that people flock around the jewelry or the antique coins while totally ignoring other things that are way more valuable …
Everybody hates scalpers. But since a bunch of people seemed to hate me already I decided I might as well be hated and still be able to pay rent. Video games and console scalping has become much more prevalent and many people see it as a means to cash in on other people’s hype and …
When Kirstie (my wife) and I were still in college we didn’t party or drink. We just didn’t have time for it! In addition to being a full-time Physiology and Developmental Biology student, I was working 40-50 hours a week managing a boy’s home and Kirstie was double majoring in English and Ballroom (which is …

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 …
The first time I went to the Goodwill Outlet I was over the moon. The idea of paying $.99 per pound for anything I could find sounded simply too good to be true. I scratched my way to the front of dozens of bins and soon filled my cart. Unfortunately, I only had 60lbs of …
When I first got into thrifting to resell everyone else was intent on selling books on Amazon FBA. This meant that competition was fierce in the book section but there were tons of opportunities at the Goodwill Bins and the clothing sections of thrift stores. Now, thanks to Instagram and TikTok influencers posting their clothing …
This past week I had a blast from the past when my 8-year-old nephew sidled up to me at a family dinner to show me a small album of pokemon cards. He can’t afford to buy any of his own so most of his cards were dregs that he had gotten from his friends at …
