A few videos ago, when I asked how could you make a liveable income for two people with what you do, you replied that you are doing fine and my comments were strange. Today, I learned that you are not doing so fine after all.
You should know a little bit about speakers as well man, some sell for $30k plus. If you ever see one that looks strange look it up. My mate spent $150k on his setup.
Need for speed most wanted on ps2 was my all time favourite game growing up. I remember riding my bike home as fast as i could on a friday and playing for hours, oh the good memories.
Also makes sense to leave on a resumé level, unsure how many transferable skills there are for white/pink collar jobs. Especially if she stayed longer.
For white colour roles, I’d say reselling offers the following transferable skills: 1. Commercial awareness. 2. Profit and loss margin. 3. Goods/supplier procurement. 4. Customer service 5. Product and market research.
I don't watch the channel only for Courtney, but I do love it when she is in videos. She just seems like an amazing person, it's been great to watch her get more comfortable in front of the camera. All the best in the future Courtney, you will be missed!!
UK fan here. Really like your friendly personality. Some great advice too. Do you ever buy in store when things are on sale, then try and sell higher price on eBay? And then return it back to the store if it doesn't sell. Anyone tried doing this with any success?
Even though you went to different thrift stores, it was still cool to get enough to have such a high profit on it all. Shoes for me are moving slow as well and I am thinking of axing that category as well but waiting till maybe the end of the year to see if anymore move. Want to wish Courtney congratulations and best of luck to you. You will be missed.
Theres a lot of weirdos in here who don't understand that you already have a girlfriend and that Courtney is a family friend or family somehow and are all thinking about you getting together. I'm sure it makes them uncomfortable when people keep saying that.
Very strange people, most likely never spoken to a woman in their lives and don’t realise it’s possible for a man and a woman to be friends without having to be together
Ok I got halfway through and had to skip to Courtney’s announcement lol we will miss you and also ur little hiccups in the background of videos hhaha goodluck at the news job 😃
The end of an era. All the best to Courtney. Hopefully she can come back for a few guest appearances together in the future. Also hope you both end up together, she balances you out and you make a good team. ❤
Sorry Courtney is going, she’s been good for your mental health to have someone to work along side you, plus the boys who watch will miss her! However now I’m hoping you’ll take some advice from someone who’s started, built up & sold some very successful businesses over their career - please think carefully about the total $ cost of hiring another person. It’s not just their wage you have to cover which I’m sure you realise. ‘Bigger’ does not always equate to more profitable in business, especially when it comes to staff numbers.
I'm in the US, but I only sell shoes for the most part. I just started 6 months ago, and have a store of about 150 items. I've been steady since I started and average 1 or 2 sales a day. For me, shoes are what I know so I'm sticking with them for now, but definitely plan on expanding at some point.
For shoes, you could sell the good shoes to Cash Converters because any money is better than none. Otherwise it would go back to the op shops. I think we should find more collectable soft toys because I sold my Koopa Troopa plush on eBay for $20 free shipping, which sold quickly at that price. You could get $25 for a 2012 Koopa Troopa Plush. That's one example of a good selling plush.
Exactly. Hats are incredible and have insane margins. Hats are a huge part of my business. Most thrifts sell for as low as .50-$5 and many have great upsides. Passing on hats is like saying you hate money imo haha.
Shoes from Ross, Burlington, marshalls etc have not been doing well. Used shoes finding them as cheap as you can in good condition or some cleaning are still doing good for me. I think having a full time job with a part time business is the best combo these days.
Shoes stopped selling for me too. They used to sell a few years ago but market is saturated. Also had bad experiences with fake designer sneakers. Ebay authentication is very tough and they penalise your account if they dont pass.
Aw what a loss for you Matt - that would’ve been a hard day to find out you were losing such a good colleague. I think it’s lovely to see a boss just want the best for their staff. I’ll be really interested in seeing how you pivot and make this work - this is often where the best learning is right? All the best to Courtney on her next chapter. 😊
Courtney will be missed that’s for sure. I think you too will miss each other also….Congratulations Court exciting times for you. Shoes have died. Yes to books - find some leather bibles…. Great category.
as soon as you put Daria back I was yelling at the screen. pick it up Matt!!!LOL. Then Courtneys news I'm yelling at the screen again. But congrats Courtney great news!!! Company Christmas party is looking shocking for numbers again now. What a rollercoaster!!!!
Having watched since the very beginning, items definitely go thru phases. I remember in the beginning you stopped books and shoes were great. Now it’s gone back again. Gotta keep up w the trends. 32k!! 😊
@@TheAussieFlipper Good to know. DVDs are definitely a slept on category. I found a Dragon Ball Z DVD set through an online source that I've found that sells for $88 plus shipping and there are currently non listed on eBay. It's a Region 1, 2, & 4.
all the best Courtney! Security first always :) and Matt, man you're in for some real thinking time hey. For most TH-cam Resellers, the answer is simple, do less TH-cam, because eBay pays more. But in your case, TH-cam pays substantially also! I look forward to your decision making process around how you keep the lights on in both businesses as they are both legitimate still growing businesses. You got this!
TH-cam is what makes it worthwhile though, most "full tine" resellers are living month to month and are struggling financially, it just depends how much people rate the whole "no boss" concept, but let's be honest, ebay is your boss 😂
@@TheAussieFlipper It just depends on how you sell to be honest. Some people have no idea in what they're doing but your prices are good. I've even looked on your eBay store but haven't quite been convinced to buy from you not because it's you but because I find Cashies to be more convenient and better value. If I was desperate to buy something, I'd love to look at your shop.
Shoes are one of my best sellers! I don’t know what styles you are selling, but I do great with women’s of all styles. All the best to Courtney on future endeavors!
@@TheAussieFlipper I just I l l just asked my wife who is a tax accountant and she said eBay only sends information for anybody who sells over $20,000 on eBay.
I wouldn't get rid of your shoes all together. I've sold 8 pairs in the last 6 days and I wouldn't have the quality you do. Sad to see Courtney go, but good luck in her new job.
Both of you, thank you for the content, makes a difference to me, one of the best efforts, Courtney thank you, amazing work and entertainment…….you will smash the future….big shoes to fill…..
Do what makes you happy, Courtney and after a while it won't seem like work at all ? job security is important but there's no such thing as a permanent job anymore as companies are going bust left right and centre.
Full time income in these times is a must , good luck to Courtney🙏

You’ve done very well Courtney, wishing you the best in your future career.✅👏
Shoe market is really bad at the moment, might pick up near Christmas but I got out of the market last year. I’m a fellow Aussie reseller also
Making $8 profit on an item is so grim … that’s not bread and butter that’s barely the crumbs 😂
It all adds up. I do that about 20 times a week with minimal effort.
@@lukesimpson3080 i agree - can work and be worth it
Bahaha,minimal effort,get a real job/life it's pathetic @@lukesimpson3080
Thats how the rich big companies do it thought. Even less margins 😮
@@ychongy yeah that’s very true but i doubt he can pump out as many sales as a giant company .. right ?
Mats thumbnails will miss you!
My son sells the very high end sneakers and the market is absolutely dead atm but 12 months ago he was very busy.
my sons mate was doing this the last few years and he said the same no market for them now so has had to get a real job
Damn :( Courtney will be a loss to rhe channel. I hppe that she comes back from time to time. 🎉 Good luck Court 🎉
She'll be back!
I've never found any shoes worth buying in over 12 months so I don't sell this category. I do look out for them though. No flea market here.
All the best Cortney…. You will be missed im sure. 😊
You should know a little bit about speakers as well man, some sell for $30k plus. If you ever see one that looks strange look it up. My mate spent $150k on his setup.
Dang. The main reason I watch is for Courtney 😢 good luck though Courtney, best wishes in your future endeavors

As a recruiter I can tell you there is zero security in a full time job. Plus working 2 different roles is much more fun and interesting.
2 years of selling and in the last 2 months we have also dropped shoes we even did a auction on all ours and minimum sold
So strange isn’t it

Hats! Hats are good, and there are those special or vintage ones that people will pay 30 to 60 + postage for 😊

awwww I will miss Courtney's lovely face and smile..but all the best to you Courtney..hope you really enjoy your new job!
2 weeks notice I always thought was just a formality? I know people who have left midshift and resigned immediately
friends look after eachother
Shoes are my worst sell though category. Followed by board games.
Bye Courtney! We'll look forward to seeing you in the future and having an update on how your new job is going. ❤
All the best Courtney. Will still be watching you Matt.
Gavin and Stacey will probably go up in popularity again soon, they're just finishing up filming the final here in South Wales 😀
Can’t believe Matt missed that Daria find she’s got a strong core fan base always good

Lot of decisions to be made! Not sure what it looks like yet.. thanks so much for your support - means so much to me :)
My shoes are not selling, new,second hand nada. Going to market soon to try and get them moving.
Ohhh what a shock!! It’s going to be different without Courtney , but hey wish her all best ! Still going to support this channel regardless
Hey Matt! I live on the Gold Coast and would love to work for you and help you with your business just as Courtney did 😊 let me know - Tyler
No baby for Courtney
When i first started watching is when Matt introduced courtney to us and been watching since. hope the new job would be good to her.

Can you make a video about selling Video Games. I’m not a gamer, so I don’t know what I’m looking for when I source video games or consoles.

Really struggle to sell shoes
Good luck Courtney, you made the right decision. Wishing you all the best for the future.

From your experience, which Region for DVDs sells best? Worst?

will provide an update soon!
reselling is not a realistic business model, its best to treat reselling as a side gig
as a 4-year Full-Time seller / TH-camr I have to disagree here.
@@TheAussieFlipper Yet you never reveal your net income. Gross figures mean nothing
TH-cam is what makes it worthwhile though, most "full tine" resellers are living month to month and are struggling financially, it just depends how much people rate the whole "no boss" concept, but let's be honest, ebay is your boss 😂

Question: how much do you have to earn before you have to pay tax on selling items on eBay?
right away - whatever you profit is classed as income earned.

Time to employ young Jamie… True talent!
Good stuff for Courtney!! Big loss for Matt…
I like the shoe category but can't find them cheaply enough the shoes I have sourced have gone onto sell I am really anal about condition though
i think i can't find them cheap enough also which is causing issues - average sale price has fallen in the category
Wait a minute! You’re telling me this whole time I thought you two were dating and she was just an employee?! 🤯
