One more thing! About the channel memberships. Nobody's business but yours but I get it! I don't want to do TH-cam videos because I would wear myself out just reading comments! 🤣
You know what Chris? I love watching you mainly because you don't put on an act. You tell the truth no matter how minor or major the topic is. I am grateful to you for your honesty. As a fairly new reseller, it is hard to trust a lot of the people putting reselling videos out because they tend to exaggerate the truth. Thank you for being you. Have a blessed day.
Full time, part time...10%, does it matter? As long as your family is taken care of you have the right to consider yourself anything you like. It doesn't matter what anyone else may think. You do great and I know family is first for you!
Don't worry about the haters my brother. This how you know you are doing something right. You never see haters worrying about unsuccessful people. You've helped me grow my business. Thank you keep up the good work!
You’re doing a great job, Chris! I’d say, full-time, reseller, part-time, TH-camr. And in today’s economy, you definitely need to have another venue keep up the good work thank you for producing the videos. We learn a lot and enjoy watching you.
Chris, I absolutely love ypur channel. I have a shelf subscription and to be honest I would pay $10 for that subscription and here is why. You are honest, sincere, kind, thoughtful, & fair ( I had no idea you moved cards around to give everyone an opportunity to be mentioned in a video). So many of the big youtubers are just full of themselves. Your channel is real. You show how it really is. I started my channel just about a year ago. And honestly I have spent more time on TH-cam making content than I have on ebay. Which has dramatically affected my sales. But here is the deal I do it for the same reason as you...give resellers actual real advice. Keep on keeping on Chris! You help more than you realize. I know that you sent quite a few viewers to my channel... I really appreciate you!❤
7:50; according to the the IRS & Affordable Care Act, anyone who is working 30+ hours WEEKLY or 130+ Monthy is considered as a full-time employee. The IRS also mentions that anyone who works LESS than the 30 hours / week is considered PART-TIME. So, it does not matter if its your only job or not. If you do not meet the 30+ hours working each week, you are a part-time employee, not a full-time reseller. This was fun! Thank you!
Chris just ignore the nasty people they are just jealous of how thoughtful and kind you are to your TH-cam friends. 😊💐 Looking forward to more videos and the Two Old Guys Podcast😊💐
You are doing a great job Chris. Don't let the negativity get to you. I know it's hard. The people who know you and have followed you, know you are good people. Don't stress time worrying about what other people are worried about. Do you. Most times it is just jealously. Do OSP. Do Chris. Speaking of doing Chris. We miss your family time clips.
Who’s business is it how you earn your money? As long as you’re doing something to earn a living. Utube, eBay etc. you do you , don’t worry about the haters. God bless you and your family. Always praying for you.
Awww Hi Cris 😢 I Miss You Sooooo Much 😊 Your Video POP up and for a Split Second I thought you were Back🙋🏻♀️ Hope all is well with you and your Family ❤ I see you still have some Awesome Sales. But when your Ready to come back on You Tube I will sign up again to be a Member. 😊 Sincerely Mary from Gigicollectables1985
Thanks for putting out great reselling content, which adds to your “full-time reseller” status. Some Ppl have the same arguments in the “full-time “RVing community, those ppl get fired up 😂
For me it has always been based on your other work, then again I think titling it as full time or not is pretty silly. There are part time resellers that make a lot more money per month than many full time resellers. If you asked me what your work title would be I would say entrepreneur, you have multiple streams of income, and you should in todays age. You are hustling multiple jobs but all of them are YOUR business, not working for someone else's business. That said, keep doing you and keep paying your bills and hopefully being happy
Yes entrepreneur is a better job title but if someone asks me more specifically I say I'm a full time reseller because I spend 16-20 hours a day on my reselling business but agree in this day and age you do need multiple streams of revenue
I have 2 full time jobs. My normal 9-5 and reselling. I put just as much into one as I do the other. Working on getting that switched up. I am in the process of doing that on my TH-cam channel. Waiting for the final piece of the puzzle to come in so I can finish my next video.
I remember having to do a Christmas display for a thrift shop where I accidentally sold someone his own hat... When the guy asked where his hat went...I said some old fool bought it after someone sold it for $10 when he was trying on hats...
I personally base it on time, If you are spending more time on You Tube, then you are more of a full time You Tuber and a part time reseller. I work a few hours a week on eBay compared to my full time job so I'm a part time eBay seller. Keep up the great work.
First, "full time" is considered (i believe) to be whatever provides your main source of income. Just cause you have a second way to make additional money, it doesn't make you primary source of income less than full time. For example, if i work at BK and i make 400$ but i have a few hours at McDonald and make 200$ does mean that I'm not a full time employee at BK. That is my main priority job and if i have to quit one base on current state, i would quit McDonalds because its only 200$ a week. Currently i work for a company and it provides my main source of income. I'm full time there and i use eBay to provide supplement. just cause i do both doesn't mean my main job is not full time ;). But then again, who cares, as long as you are doing what you need to do to provide. Secondly, if people don't like the idea of sponsor, then they should not sponsor. but if someone does, then that means they are ok with it. and they can always quit at any time. you haven't offered something that you haven't committed to do so it is what it is. i would understand if you were making promises in return for sponsorship and not coming through. then i would say you are ripping people off, but even then, eventually people will catch on and stop sponsoring you. thank you for sharing!
You could drop the full time, part time, and just be a "reseller". You can learn from watching either one, doesn't matter to me. Most of the channels I watch now are because I have met them and/or like the content.
Eh you're at least 13/16 to 7/8 of a full time reseller lol... always much love and respect... full time reseller constitutes the love and energy u put into the trade and that being said you're a 1000% a full time awesome reseller...
Since all of your TH-cam content is about reselling, I think it should count toward 'full time' reseller status. Also, I love your shelf 'shout out' program, and might join someday when my store is a bit larger. Keep doing things your way and don't let the trolls get to you. Peace.
I don’t think you need to justify why you have the channel memberships. It’s voluntary. There are other ways that You Tube content makers earn money-eg Patrion. I think I’ve misspelled it. Plus, you can move my shelf if you need to. I just like when you say “ It’s Cathy time” which you don’t have to do either.
I MISS YOU CALLING OUT (GIGICOLLECTABLES1985) for Me I Loved 🥰 it, I Felt it was my Publicity I needed, because I do Not Make YT Videos. Chris, I can’t believe you have Jealous Haters🤮🤮🤮. You know where they can Go 👺☠️
Honestly, who cares where your money comes from, unless you're one of those TH-camrs telling everyone how to make money on eBay, etc while literally not working much on eBay. Too many TH-camrs giving horrible advice because they're only looking for content to get paid. New sellers are losing a lot of money because of TH-camrs they trust, but shouldn't. I'm pretty critical of content, being a professional writer who has to go by a certain set of rules when covering something. I haven't seen you be dishonest by making crap up that is a straight up lie. I deal in 78rpm records, something that requires a lot of specialization. A bigger TH-camr posted a video about how he would make crazy money ($40 to $75 per record) on a group of records he'd just bought. You could see how bad their condition was and a simple search on eBay would show this guy was full of crap. But how many sellers when out hunting down these very very common records thinking they were going to make a ton of money? Also, the person who made the video sells virtually no 78s based on what their store says. I bought 25,000 78s in July and another 20,000 in August. I took 1400 out of the 20,000 collection and gave away the other 18,000+. I took 4000 out of the 25,000 and gave away the other 21,000. What I gave away was the kind of records this TH-camr was claiming was worth tons of money. I shared the video in the 78 groups and they laughed as they trash these type of records. But hey, it probably made the guy $200 in revenue and that's all that mattered to him. Even if 100 people around the country bought crap records for $20 because of his advice, he cost people $2000 they'll never get back as the records are hard to even donate once you've found out they're garbage. I don't see you doing that. BTW, I believe if you're putting in 8 hours a day into something, or 40 hours a week, you're full time. If you're doing 40 as a TH-camr and 40 as a reseller, you have two full time jobs. Been there. If eBay would get its crap together, I wouldn't have to be a double full time reseller. Unfortunately, I don't see Jamie getting his crap together, and thus, eBay's. Hopefully they fire him soon.
A pretty cool thing happened this morning! Yesterday I messaged a fellow seller (and now fellow TH-cam video watcher!) about one of her items that she has for sale. She messaged me back that after she got my message she was watching this video and heard you say "l2r1100" and then "Lady Picker" and messaged me about the coincidence! Small world eh?! Full time versus part time - It's personal. If you believe yourself to be a full time reseller then that you are, Part time? Than that you are. As for the customers? They believe you're full-time! : )
I have no desire to turn it around. I love making videos and when I can make money doing what I love, I will continue. I am making plenty on reselling and youtube for me.
Don't be surprised if the Broncos cup is returned after the whoopin they received by the dolphins. Hahaha. You speaking well of others has me routinely watching grams n pops and CNY but I don't think anyone has bought from me because of you mentioning my store. No biggie but just thought I'd throw that out there since you brought it up.
LOL about the Broncos, they were horrible! With the store mentions its tougher for sure because people don't search by stores anymore. Most people just search for items. I get messages from time to time about people making sales from other viewers.
ADH Dave probably gets 75% of his money as an "Entertainer" and online presence. So only about 25% as a "Reseller". Frankly, from what he buys, I don't think he could survive, if he had to pay all his bills from "Reselling". I have no problem with that, more power to him, but I wouldn't consider anyone a Full Time Reseller, if you aren't getting more than 50% from Reselling.
Yes seems everyone has a different ideal of what full time is. Glad I made this video! As far as Dave goes I don't blame him honestly. You have to chase the money and go where you are making the most. I would be pushing out videos everyday if I made what he makes on them!
When you are Ready to come back. Your Memberships and Friends will be Here Waiting for you☺️ Gigicollectables1985 Haters Mean You are Doing Something Great 😊 Let God and Let Go 😊.

I have to say I love how organized your workspace is! That’s a goal in my life lol
Times are tough. It is very hard to make a living on ebay these days. You gotta do what go gotta do.
I personally love your videos and they are very helpful, thank you!
I'm curious how you film if both hands are free and what kind of lighting?
My go pro is on a small tripod that I can hold or set down pretty much anywhere.
Hate that you have to explain yourself like that Chris. People are so mean in this world today, so sad 😢. Love your channel!
Your pretty much 3/4 of what keeps the podcast floating too so add that to the list! 😂😂
I was thinking 7/8ths but who's counting! JK I couldn't/wouldn't do it without you!
@oldschoolpicker same here my friend!
The podcast wouldn't be what it is without both of you,
@onefootflipper Thanks Paige! Appreciate that!
You guys are awesome!!
I have 2 full time jobs. My normal 9-5 and reselling. I put just as much into one as I do the other. Working on getting that switched up. I am in the process of doing that on my TH-cam channel. Waiting for the final piece of the puzzle to come in so I can finish my next video.
Where are your current videos?
I remember having to do a Christmas display for a thrift shop where I accidentally sold someone his own hat... When the guy asked where his hat went...I said some old fool bought it after someone sold it for $10 when he was trying on hats...
LOL!
I personally base it on time, If you are spending more time on You Tube, then you are more of a full time You Tuber and a part time reseller. I work a few hours a week on eBay compared to my full time job so I'm a part time eBay seller. Keep up the great work.

I like that answer!
Chris, IMHO, you're splitting hairs. You are a full-time business owner with multiple streams of business income. And a very good one at that.
Great point!
To me full time vs part time is a self designated description so whatever you consider yourself is what one you are.
Eh you're at least 13/16 to 7/8 of a full time reseller lol... always much love and respect... full time reseller constitutes the love and energy u put into the trade and that being said you're a 1000% a full time awesome reseller...

Comes from a place of jealousy I believe.
I hate click bait.
For real, left a dislike just for that

Oh wow, wonderful story, thank you for sharing.
75% of your time for 25% of your income just seems crazy bad. How can you turn that around?
I have no desire to turn it around. I love making videos and when I can make money doing what I love, I will continue. I am making plenty on reselling and youtube for me.
If you don’t work a job, then you’re a full-time reseller…..
That was what I always thought too! But it seems others have different opinions.

OK, but if you didn't resell you wouldn't have a TH-cam channel. I'd consider that full time.
You don't have to prove your position or income to anybody except IRS.
