    My 2023 was lower than 2022 due to not focusing on Ebay. I changed jobs back in August, so I've been hyper focused on the new job. My December ended up being my best month of the year. I won a pallet of Harley Davidson parts for $60 at an online auction near me. I have only sold 2 items off the pallet for a total of $1,050 gross, $872.02 after all the fees and freight. My best sell of the year was one of those items. It was a 100th anniversary HD fuel cap, new in the package from 2003, it sold for $600. Breaking down my cost per item on the pallet, I have about $5 in this part. Needless to say I was thrilled! I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!

    Really like how you also included the lowest selling items. It is good for people to see the mixture of good and bad sales.

    If you tell a non-reseller that you sold an item in a matter of minutes on Ebay. Their response:
    "That's good!"
    If you tell a reseller friend they will console you because we all shared the emotional trauma of brief excitement immediately followed by crippling regret.

    Wow, that is a very big difference between 2022 and 2023. That has a big eye opener for sure. I hope you do much better in 2024. I hope all resellers do much better in 2024 too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

    We found a pair of Cartier glasses frames that sold on eBay for $700 recently. We are still in shock. We bought a bag of glasses/lens frames at a goodwill for $20. The bag also had a pair of Oakleys and a couple of pairs of ray bans all of which sold for $40+.

    wow, the first thing you showed, the Gator skateboard might have done more, much more if you found the right collector bc of the story behind it. I met him in 1991 at the Münster Skateboarding World Championship in Germany and 2 months later (l think) he was in jail for murdering a girl and got life !

    Hi Justin, not sure what makes you videos great. Have lots of layers and easy to see what’s going on. Same time your audio seems amazing. It’s just different than any other reseller I’ve heard. Imagine it’s your voice which is great, maybe you record in a wooden flood room? Good mic, good FX processing? I find it amazing whatever your doing snd curious as work in the event production field.
    Far as the cheaper games, I’d lot them up to make them worth your time. Offer something like 20+ in one go.

    Justin, love your vids and appreciate your willingness to give back to the community. I've learned so much from you. I started selling on eBay part-time this past Mar and have incorporated many of your techniques to increase sales. Listing multiples every day is the biggest boost to my sales. I just wanted to share my recent quickest sale of 14 minutes. I bought a NOS 1980 Coleman PEAK1 Backpack Stove and didn't realize until I got home it was NIP since the pkg was pretty roached. Did my due diligence and threw it out there for $123.30 (.30 ending another suggestion of yours), expecting to have to make multiple offers on watchers before it eventually sold. To my shock, it sold w/in minutes and at the full asking price. Woohoo! I couldn't get over myself, lol. But, it makes up for another item purchased at the same sale where I failed to inspect the item and what I thought was a new Nest thermostat, was the old one wrapped up in the packaging. Win some, lose some. My favorite sourcing is the Church Rummage sale and am fortunate to have one within a mile from my house and it runs a sale every two months. Amazing finds there. Ok, enough rambling, thanks again for what you do. It's appreciated. Mickey P.S. If you ever want to take a gander, my eBay handle is scubacuba2

    I realize this video is 8 months old at this point but I hope you have caught on to the resale opportunity that is cameras. I have only been at this for 6 months and I have learned this already. As a result, it's getting more difficult to find them. Nevertheless, they are a popular household item so I feel sure there are many out there. As to "who donates this stuff?" It is crucial to realize that not all people think like ourselves. You are thinking "cameras are valuable and one keeps them." I think "gold jewelry is valuable and one keeps this. High quality clothing is something one keeps." But not all people think like this. (If they did, we would be out of biz.) People value things entirely differently. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Also, people realize time is money. Those who can, dump and go. Those who can't, pick over whatever they have dumped and attempt to resell.
