Chris you are one of if not the only real person on TH-cam! so many others love to make people think they are the best and nothing is luck its all them being better ... Your humbleness and realness is so appreciated and a breath of fresh air much respect to you brother!
So happy for you that your years of hard work have paid off and now you can say "No" and choose to spend time with your family. So many people look back and wish they would've done exactly that! ❤
I absolutely love your insight and advice. Thank you for being so honest and sharing your experiences with us. This is why I watch your videos. You are always my first search on TH-cam. Thank you so much.
Another great video and it resonates so much. I have 2 kids as well and work around them and their activities, because at the end of the day that's who I do it for. I still go to the flee markets though, as I just really enjoy it.
Love your reseller car talks! I also appreciate your growing appreciation that money is not everything. We only have one life to live. Live more, hustle less!
Nice to see you again. You have everything that you've n your wife have worked so hard for the 10 years. This is what it feels like to be the person u can be, you have knowledge that most don't even think about, your parents did a wonderful job, n your little ones are so blessed to have u n mama u are truly God's gifts on earth so very honored to ran crossed you years ago ❤
Awesome perspectives. One can "plan to the T" and still end up in crisis mode, lol. Much respect to you for placing a high priority on family time. Go enjoy the fruits of your labor!
I shopping a lot on your whatnot everything was great high quality specially Eight lane shoes very comfortable everything new with tags. I bought for my self and family not for resale .I like to thrift and sell used clothing feels like they have high value 😂😅
Omg…. I never imagined you would say half the things you said in this video…lol. And a few of us gals have always said that once you have kids, you’ll see….lol and I say all of this with the most love…. Having kids brings So much dimension to your life in so many ways and is it so hard to explain until you do it….Bravo…. welcome to the real side…😘😘
I agree with you new attitude. I've never placed a price target on my reselling. I simply allocate a certain amount of hours per day to work on reselling, and I'll take whatever money is made in that time. I make the business adjust to my lifestyle/schedule not the other way around.
What you talking about I’ve been doing I don’t live to work. I work so I can live. I got into reselling so I can choose my hours. I can be with my family. when I want to be and need to be.Been watching you since the beginning Chris Before you had kids crazy isn’t it?
You do need the luck element with the suppliers but you also have to be willing to put in the work on the reselling side. And you will probably never be able to appeal to a good supplier financially if you're not already putting in the work when you start making deals with them.
Well said! The "luck" factor is almost always forgotten when you talk with someone that is really successful. Mark Cuban is the exception when he tells his story.
The one thing you didnt include in all of thsi is the knowledge of what inventory is valuable. Knowing you have good sources is important as you cant utilize them if you dont know.
I was waiting for this one. I knew it would come. Your next enlightenment will be in about a decade. Working 16 hours a week and making only a decent income will suffice. I myself have found a good living can be made in the stock market once no debt is owed and you have 300k that you are not worried about. You will have losses but far and few in between. Mostly wins, but not big wins at any one time. Then there will be the the occasional huge windfall in which you want everyone to know how smart your move was. But deep down you know something between luck and intuition played the role. IQ had nothing to do with it and neither did "hard" work. In America we sell a "lie" to the poor to get more work out of them. We train them to bow to the rich and put their own interest on a back burner with platitudes and clichés that will always keep the wealthy in power. It's a strange world.
oh you ARE lucky 😏 Moon & Venus conjunction (wealth yoga/extra). You have an exalted North Node (modern technology/materialism) and you got Jupiter (abundance/wisdom) in a constellation related to shipping (old school merchant ships), this constellation is also fond of teaching (as u educate us). I would love to know ur birth hour lol 👽
Love listening to your advice. How do you feel about buying on Whatnot and reselling on eBay, Poshmark & Mercari. Do you think the margins would be good enough for a part time seller?
I've done it. You have to really calculate the shipping + tax + bid amount. Sometimes it is totally worth it based on the actual brand or what it is. Sometimes we get really lucky and see reseller bundles. Other times not so much.
Hitting your number at the cost of your buyers is not ehat I would call success. I purchased over 3k in product from you to have 25% of them damaged goods or packaged with zero care which caused damage. You turn off whatnot comments, so it seems you do not want the feedback. . . Just the sales thru poor sales tactics from your employees saying perfect condition on this item only for it to be false. Maybe you need to rethink 15sec per item and make sure they explain defects... disappointed as a long time follower
Not trying to be a jerk or troll.... but why did you continue to buy from him after the first or even second issue? Was it the price? You wanted to support him as a TH-camr? Just curious.

This resonates so much for me. You're so right. At the end of the day, we can just hope we did the best with what we have.
Love you perspective. Yes, family comes first. 🥰 I am enjoying the Car Chat videos 👍

I always think that luck can only provide you with an opportunity - you still have to grab it with both hands and make it work
Love your reseller car talks! I also appreciate your growing appreciation that money is not everything. We only have one life to live. Live more, hustle less!

Thanks again, Chris for your down to earth, practical advice - you keep me going! Clara

This is one of the best videos I’ve listened to in a while I really love your perspective Chris!
I really enjoy these videos and vast knowledge share...less distractions during the video... you're always improving...way to go 😊
Love your advice. You look so tired. Get some rest! Life is short, you need to be at your best.
“Everything Changes”. Gotta keep up.
Shows it’s still such a shame you got removed from eBay, I don’t think Chris will admit it, but that changed things completely
I shopping a lot on your whatnot everything was great high quality specially Eight lane shoes very comfortable everything new with tags. I bought for my self and family not for resale .I like to thrift and sell used clothing feels like they have high value 😂😅

Long ago, I dopted the same attitude to reselling, even without kids
I agree with you new attitude. I've never placed a price target on my reselling. I simply allocate a certain amount of hours per day to work on reselling, and I'll take whatever money is made in that time. I make the business adjust to my lifestyle/schedule not the other way around.

I really, really appreciate your videos. Thank you so much always for the good insights and helpful information.
Well said, Chris. Love the car talks.
Reselling is funny bc when sales are good , you feel great and have tons of advice.
When sales suck you feel down and like all advice is moot
You do need the luck element with the suppliers but you also have to be willing to put in the work on the reselling side. And you will probably never be able to appeal to a good supplier financially if you're not already putting in the work when you start making deals with them.

No wonder i dont see you streaming at 5pm when I get off work
car talks are the best

Thanks Chris!
You need a larger long term project to work on.
The harder you work ( smart ) The luckier you get.

Works for some people! 😊

@@sweetgirl4u247 thanks sweet girl. I’ve been having decent luck if I could stop shopping for myself 😂
how do you feel about liquidation stores or return pallets?
Excellent!!
I feel like in a short time your glass went from half full to a drop under half empty Chris. I've seen a lot in my career, you good bro?
Having kids makes people reevaluate a lot.
How someone else can go to flea market shoping for you !!!
Should i take offers if its 20 dollars lower than list price?
If u been sitting on it and it’s still a profit why not . But make lowest offer price if u wanna avoid that low ball offer bs
Hello Chris.
So far I hate eBay . So many horrible buyers. Never had this problem elsewhere
First
If you’re not returning to the “resellers podcast” idea… can you “give me permission” to take over the name?

@@michaelwarrick3053 the purchase was all in a weekend of whatnot shows. I had no clue I was going to end up with major defects
