mmmmm...beer

Yeah... everyone knows football time is here. It's not a secret. I'm good to find another.

Looks like it expired. Give me a hollar

Mmmmm...Samuris.

I Chris (not Mo)... but Padre still up and around? I don't go to the geek club anymore.

4th is fine for me. I'm in Japan so... maybe sleeping when you guys are hot and heavy drafting. Take that into consideration if ya would.

Trade out...

Yeah I meant they reporting anything over $600 a year to uncle suger.

Yup... the days of free ebay, mercari, poshmark flips are over.

He focking knows that. My shadow is just a @sshole that needs to spread his toxic sludge to all. The only thing I can think of is jealously my life is better than his. Otherwise... why focking care? Why try so hard to come in to each and every thread I produce once every few months and b!tch like I took his woman? Move on. Focking loser...

Yeah FB marketplace is absolutely the way to go. Especially for bigger items. Also... no 1099 cut.

And many people try it and fail. So... wanted to see if it took. Was fairly easy.

Figured it will give me something to do in tetirment that's not "getting s other job".

Unless its easily apparent. I bought a whole box of an old Wii system with 2 consoles in there, 4 controllers a couple of guns, and like 20 games for $10. Sold 5 of the games for $130. Sold the rest of the 13 suck games and the Wii/accessories for $110. Have a balance board, Wii Fit and another game, plus the extra console alone left to sell out of that lot.

So google lens to figure out exactly what it is. Then copy that to eBay and search for it. Once stuff returns don't pay too much attention to what they are "selling" for, but rather go to filter and down to "Sold" listings. It'll shown you how much they are really selling for and how many have sold recently. You find an item with 100 solds lately? More than like it will move fast and consistently for the solds prices. Can't find something or if you do there's one sold in the last 90 days? Pass... It sounds complicated but if you do it a few times you can get pretty quick.

So I am back in the States for a couple more weeks, but the last four I wanted to try an experiment. I went to goodwill, salvation army, garage sales and picked up little stuff for $0.25 cents to $10. I probably spent about $150 total. Found an estate sale that was bonkers. Bought half a pickup load of stuff for about $60... This wasn't all at once, but I and a buddy did that thought the month. I've sold a pile of vintage watches and some other stuff on eBay but its been awhile. So in 4 weeks... sold about 48 items of 108 listings. Total $2100. After fees/shipping, net about $1150. Cool $1,000. I still have a 2 totes full of stuff to sell. Have 60 items still up and probably another 40 I told my buddy to list and just pay me what I got i to them. All in all I'm pretty happy with how it went. I feel like when I get back from Japan, I could scale this easily. It seems more like a fun hobby to me, than it would be work. I love finding something for nothing snd snagging a good profit. My favorite flip of the session? I found an old zippo in the box for $0.50 cents at a rummage sale. Sold it thr next morning for $78 bucks + shipping!
