Real Talk Ralliroots
1.Bought Inventory without doing research ( 1:47)
2.Bought to much of the same product ( 4:00)
3.Ran too many auctions ( 7:03)
4.Not listing items fast enough ( 9:04)
5.Compare yourself to Bigger Seller (12:57)
Awesome gems. I definitely made these mistakes. Buying not researching. Also continuing to research even if you have experience is crucial.Check comps Daily!!! Looking at the numbers will save a lot of pain. Ryan I agree with the batch items at 20 item. I literally just went through this whole process you guys discuss. Ran auction on bottom 10% and focusing on specific items that fit my current business model. Great Video . This ensures me I'm on the right track. Thanks :)

McdonaldstoMillionaire I agree ! I am dealing with that now! Bought things I thought would sell and bought many and still sitting there also death piles ! I thrift thrift thrift but don’t list list list 😕
@@mimiv3411 Hey mistakes are apart of the process. Now just set yourself up for wins. Bundle what you can sets some auction and group the rest by 10. Just 10 items a day for a month. Made a heck of a difference in business. You got this 💪💪💪💪
McdonaldstoMillionaire thank you for the good words and the encouragement to do better I appreciate it
Thanks for saving time.
Since hurricane Michael, hoisted a tree through the middle of our house, I no longer refer to my excess inventory as my "death pile". It has become my "life pile" because we survived devastation and I needed that inventory to get back up and running when so much of northern Florida was shut down. I am forever grateful for my "life piles."
Damn that's real. Respect that perspective 💯👊 ☮️
Love your newly discovered videos. My mom passed away and I’ve been storing tons of things I couldn’t toss or just give away. Since I’m buried in things, I decided to start selling things not family-related. Since my siblings also died last year, I’m just sitting on these things.
Anyway, I started researching how to sell and ran across you guys. Thanks for your smart and friendly videos. They mean a lot to me.. who knows, maybe I can supplement my income following in your footsteps. You’re good folks… Thanks.
My husband and I recently started reselling and, in doing our research, I ran into your channel. This is a fantastic topic and, truth be told, we have made these five mistakes in one month's time. I wanted to tell you that we are very grateful that you are giving your time to share your experiences with us and we know that our journey as resellers will be made easier because of you. Thank you!
We've been selling a little over 2 years. While we do both Amazon + ebay, it was trial and error with ebay. Our biggest mistakes were: 1. Not taking our time to learn the selling process - understanding fees, shipping costs of each item. 2. Buying things on "emotion" - we bought items we "thought" people would like or that we liked. 3. Not doing research on the item to see how many are listed and what they sell for. 4. POOR photos. We didn't take time to include info buyers look for - material, measurements. Now that we live in an RV, we buy items that sell quick and we list everything immediately.
how do you research what items sell for or how popular an item is?
Love you 2 young beautiful, soooo smart, generous people! I am 78 yrs young and have been selling on. eBay for 10 months. We were going to have an estate sale until we learned how much money/ % the estate sellers charged. Then I had an “Idea” started an eBay and began watching Ralli Roots. Of course I have made all 5 mistakes and more! I also love the hunt, have a Hugh death pile and hate returns but the challenges are fantastic, I think they keep me young! The results from my eBay sales have by far exceeded what our return on an estate sale would have been. Thank You For All You Do For All Of Us.!! I am off to list..💕💕
What is a death pile
You are a hero from a 6 week newbie at 56 years old. Don’t we just love these two! Cheers! locloc4.
@@thehomeplatespecial597 stuff that doesn’t move. Longer you do it the bigger it gets. Will turn into the death basement. Know when to cut loses and just donate it before it gets out of hand
I am 57 started selling on eBay this month and made some money, this is in preparation to sell the house in say 5 years. There are so many things we collect over the years which was unnecessary. At least by selling on eBay the things are getting a good home.
We are relatively new to Ebay selling. I made a mistake that we both (my wife and I) will never make again!! I made some wooden crates as Christmas presents to family members. One I day I thought I'd list one starting the bidding process at $2.00 (thinking people would bid on them)...One person put a bid in for $2.45 and that was who won the bid. It cost us $30.00 just to ship it. Moral of the story DO NOT always use Ebay's suggested price and do not click "free shipping" until you find out what it cost to ship the item.
I did something similar this week, lost money and eBay still takes their cut…. Hurt a bit lol…. Good luck to you! 😊
Oof. Mine wasn’t that bad but I did way underestimate how much it would cost to ship a jeans and lost a few bucks.
Thank You
So guilty of #4! I use the “excuse” to source because I go to the bins and it’s actually a social outlet for me! But I’ve gotten out of control and banned myself until I get it back in control! Thank you for your transparency!
I think everyone is guilty of #4 in some way, We try to list a minimum of 40 a day across 3 platforms
I totally did the same things when starting out. Go out and buy all these big name brand items just to either sell this for what I purchased them at or take a loss. It's a big learning curve. Glad to say that your videos have made me better and smarter on how I purchase my items, and also how to sell them for the most money possible as well. Big thanks to you guys and all the knowledge you big to the table. Thanks guys. Also let's see another long garage sale video with the whole gang this time.
As I approach 1 year as a reseller, inspired by your channel and others.... I thank you so much for the content, ideas, inspiration, and TIPS!!! Made these mistakes, and others for sure. But mistakes are part of learning and getting better for sure.
I like the camera 2 angle. It almost gives it a "behind-the-scenes" feel. And THANKS for your help...
i just started and made $70 in my first week at 13
How? I couldn't even make a penny 😢. I listed so many things 😩.
@@od2717 try to find ti-84 calculators on offerup and sell them on eBay for 85 they sell like hot cakes
@@yagerstorys7839 They have gotten cheaper and thst item is over saturated. Mercari has tons of them.
What did you sell?
how did you use your parents acount?
cause there is tax id and more
I’ve been selling since at least 98, but not as a business. Great advice Roots. Another big one Get a Scale ASAP and weight item with packing materials Before listing. You can & will get burned eating shipping cost. I’ve always charged actual cost or a little more and never had buyers upset, as long as product is priced fairly.
Yeahh this is something I need to get cause those shipping costs do add up
I still pick up Ralph Lauren Button downs for about 3.50 a piece and sell consistently at 16-20 which is great for my business model. Just wanted to through that out there for anyone who was second guessing their thrift store purchases.
But only black & purple labels, right?
I’ve been watching soo many videos on reselling and have taken a couple of trips to some thrift stores all excited. I’m still continuing to watch videos and learn as much as I can and then I clicked on your video. This is extremely helpful information. Sincerely thank you guys for setting things straight and making things more clear for me.
A friend told me about you and this channel. I am glad I watched. Thank you for explaining the numbers game. 2 million in sales has A lot of overhead. You come across as honest with integrity. This is rare. Thank you!
Another great video, I love how yall actually break everything down and are so honest. Your videos truly help the rest of us, and you are making a huge impact!
I have been learning from your videos! However I was given 12 paper bags of clothing from a client who wanted me to resell what I could. First I pulled out no name generic blank solid color not special in any way clothing. Cheaper quality etc...then I pulled out things that ebay has flooded listings of. Last I am left with 8 bags,, some designer clothes and a lot of interesting clothing that is unique. So I will list it all as it was FREE. This will be a good experiment. I do look up brands and the sold listings for final pricing and how many sold in a short time. I look at the things you have mentioned in your videos. Lately things have been given to me so its going to be fun to see what sells! Thank you so much for all your info and I really appreciate the sharing of your mistakes! We all make them and its refreshing to see a video discussing this in order to save others from making the same ones. You two rock!!!
I truly appreciate all the info and motivation you guys provide for us resellers. You have made a big difference in the community and are huge asset to a newbie like myself.
I always enjoy you two kids. When I started in 1977 no internet to help us out. With so many reselling “experts” and “professors” on TH-cam there is a lot of folks just out for the Patreon an TH-cam money. They post videos that cover the same things they did 6 months ago just for the algorithm. And to be honest they are just fake and phony folks you can see though as an old timer. But you two a real genuine pair! You have the same passion I did 40 years ago. I can see it in your faces that you really enjoy and get excited. Keep up the great work!
17 years old running on 18 and I’ve just started playing around with eBay and grossed over $600 in the first 2 months😋 I have watched most all of your videos I feel a lot of you in me Ryan
Cole Morgan that’s epic man!!! Keep crushing it!
Great job keep it going!!
Outstanding Cole keep it up!
Good job Cole. Set up a Fidelity account and stash some small amount of every sale away to permanently capture a percentage of your profits. This diversifies you a bit and this can be very powerful over a long period of time. Don't roll every penny back into reselling. Take and stash a little profit on every sale. Think of it as a casino game and don't give back all your winnings to the house. Thanks Rally Roots I am a full time seller since 2006 (2nd child came along). I am usually too busy slaying it to check in...but, love y'all. Currently, preparing for holiday season and putting together the colorful Pyrex bowl sets (hunting them one at a time to group up in sets for top $$$) which are hot now. Agreed, the demand always changes. Will you be going to eBay Open this year?
Sorry, but am I the only one who's thinking "phrasing!" lol
Love you two, you have such great energy and are so authentically positive. What I especially appreciate though is that these tips are a level deeper than other advice out there, and are very helpful to all types of sellers. Thank you!
I just started reselling and I came across your channel and love your content! You guys are really inspiring! Keep up the good work 😊
This is my favorite video you have made. So honest and down to earth. I feel better about my rookie mistakes. Thank you for taking the time to be here for us and to share what didn't work for you.
You are ethical and kind. Like you say "don't get greedy". Very impressed with your attitude - it is what we need more of in this country! Have a great day!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and already I’ve watched several videos! Thank you for this content as it gives realistic expectations of how to get started, pitfalls to avoid and growing my business. I wish you continued abundance and blessings on this endeavor and keep making these videos for beginners like me :) it’s encouraging
That was such a clean honest video, I love how it was down to earth but not discouraging. Thanks for sharing.
This helped out alot. It's literally been God send. I just started as of 3 days ago and I needed this.
Catching up on a few videos we missed when we were out of town helping family last year !
Great video and I’ve done a couple of those and have the T-shirts! Thanks for the great advice because it’s still helpful going forward !! Great advice for anybody that’s just starting now and finds this video ! 😁
For me what others call death piles I call my saving piles. Living in northeast, there are no garage sales, flea markets, outside sales from end of October through March so I need inventory. Items that are high end but need work, cleaning, maybe a part replaced, they also go on the back burner for when I have time or when I have less opportunities to thrift. I know this goes against the advice of many, but for me, my Saving Piles work well.
Now your talking my language. I am also in the N.E. with the same idea . Hope you find lots of good stuff out there to sell this winter !
@@TheSeedsower107 I do the same thing - make hay while the sun shines! I put boxes in my storage unit and "shop" there! I have been listing a box at a time. working out well for me
Good point. I think there's a balance that can be struck but I do something similar with some of my flips.
Thank you so much for this video- and all of your content,of course,but especially this video. I needed this today for no other reason than the helladays are stressful and I've run into a good bit of discouragement dealing with the demands and scams of the season. Its been a rough one ,one when the grind has felt not worth it,especially when you're grinding it out alone. You remind,though,of why I do this. Because I love it. I've been doing this for a long time- way longer than it's been a thing,a thing with a name and legitimacy. ( it used to just be hustling-honest hustling but hustling all the same). And I continue to do this because I'm good at it. And getting better at it every day. I think that's something too many people cannot say. That they are good at what they do and they love it. So thank you for reminding me of that today - along with things to do and not to do- of why I do what I do. And for reminding me that the "death pile" of 50 or so items in my spare bedroom won't list themselves. ;) And on that note I'm going to get back to the grind. Thanks again for all that you do.
Much peace and love
You guys are the best thanks for making great and helpful content. I love watching you guys and as someone who is wanting to do this full time you guys keep me motivated!
Thank you guys for putting out this video. #4 is my biggest issue right now. You are so right - there is the thrill of the hunt. With working a full time job it does not leave a lot of extra time. I need to set these rules for myself. No shopping until items are listed....I am not in a place yet for a warehouse (just lease a small room at my son's office) and the inventory has gotten me stressed and overwhelmed. You guys are so great and sooo young! But teaching this old woman a lot! Thanks for giving so much of yourselves to help others.
Great video guys. Lots of good advice and info. Been a reseller for about 2 years now and have gotten a lot from your content. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
You listed all of my mistakes too! Not only did I jump too soon into a warehouse, but learned what not to do at the same time! Now I am building a few channels to sell from home and once I have my net income after expenses and tax of 4-5K per month then I will look at a warehouse to run from and my plan is to buy a 3 or 4 unit building and have someone else pay my mortgage because I hate paying rent...lol Great content and you are right the sourcing is so much fun that I have a death pile I am working thru now for the next month, no more buying, maybe we will see...lol Have a great sales week, Joe Bee from Canada! I will be sending out your package today, just getting it packaged and putting a label on it...
Love you guys! Thank you for your content, for your transparency and your positivity!
Love the advice! Thank you for the transparency it really helps getting started. And you two are adorable lol
This advice comes with perfect timing. I've been inspired by your videos and went to my first yard sales over the weekend. I made some really good purchases (you liked my Instagram tags - thank you), but I also made some poor choices and knowing you made the same mistakes is very encouraging.
Excellent video you two. Some great advice. I know #4 is the one I tend to struggle with,lol. Also,just wanted to thank-you both for the content. I've been re-sales for years,but only returned to Ebay at the start of October,(2019). This was also around the time that I came across your videos,and regardless of my experience,I must admit that I've obtained some great advice that has in turn both saved,and made me money. As well, I have truly enjoyed getting to know all of you,and seeing what's been selling for you. I appreciate that you are both willing to give up part of your time in order to share these things with us,and it benefits us all,regardless of how much experience one may or may not have. Quickly I also want to thank-you for your Christmas video with Ryan's Mom & Dad. I found it very heart-warming and am glad that you trust us enough to share such a personal moment with us. Here's wishing you both a very Happy,safe & profitable 2020,keep up the great work,it IS making a difference,and it IS appreciated. God Bless.
I can't thank you both enough for your continued educational and invaluable information! I only wish that I was younger and lived your area, I think it would have been exciting to hang out with you both. Stay real, and please, don't ever change!
I think it's great that you guys share the good and the bad. I love your videos and I've learned a lot from you two. Thank you for all you do.
Good stuff as always. Little simple videos like this really keep us noobs on track and motivated as well as keeping yourselves grounded and humble it seems. Keep it up. It keeps us up.
So darn professional, the spot on duo, once again your quick turn over advice to make space is so important for soooo many reasons...kudos again....one of these days I'd like to share with you guys the three ideas I've put to use that I'm not seeing on ANYONES videos...don't have a top 5 yet, but I will ! Lol..and thanks again for this video..!
Thank you for being honest.!!!! And very educational.
Nice change off of video, it’s definitely refreshing to see someone talking about the same mistakes bar we have made.
I like the last one about not comparing yourself to others, your circumstances are always different to someone else’s👍
You guys are the best. I’ve been reselling the past few month and learned so much just from watching and listening. Thank you
You guys are such a GREAT couple. I dont watch for the info as much as I do for the bond you 2 have! I love that with you guys. Both very good looking people, and very smart. Love you guys!
Ok a few pointz here,
1. Stay out of my head Google! I started back up again as a seller on ebay. I've always watched Raken when I stopped ebay to keep myself educated. I made a small haul, listed and thought to myself, I haven't watched a Rally Roots video in over a year! I wonder what that pretty lady with the blue tips and her awesome husband are up to? Then BAM! Rally Roots video magically pops up. I didn't even speak Rally Roots and here we are lol.
2. Ally, I didn't think you could get any prettier. Good Gawd lady, you are so gorgeous! And your hair looks amazing
3. Thank you for the videos and education. I thought I was done with Ebay but Raken, Craigslist hunter and you guys brought me back to the game.
Have a great week!
Man, i have learned so much from you two, you guys are real and not scripted, i really appreciate putting yourselves out there for me and others to learn from. Your videos are always extremely educational and encouraging. You have definitely met your goal, to help people like me. I know it takes hard work in marriage, i know you guys face tough obstacles as well, but you guys are Gladiators, everyone needs you on their corner not just for Ebay, but life in general. Thank you and i encourage you both to keep giving of yourselves and may God, the creator of Heaven and Earth, Continue to Bless you both.
Great advice at the end. "Don't compare yourself to someone else; you can use it as a goal" but all different circumstances. Wise words. Thank you.
Thanks for mentioning the mistakes. It helps all the newcomers. I first got started a long time ago with just stuff laying around the house that I didn't need anymore. And it sold pretty quickly. It's a lot different now then back then and if you don't research it may never sell. So that is important. Thanks for the heads up!
Great video! What really got me Back into reselling on eBay was Ryan's Video "I Almost Went To Jail". I was a part time on eBay from 2002-2008 & left it for good. I had a "Real Job?" that I didn't have time to sell part time at ALL!! So THANKS guys!! You content is Great & I am Grateful for your enthusiasm & being upfront & honest in your vids. Keep it up!! Peace........
My rules are simple look at sold list on Ebay. 2nd always put yourself in the costumer shoes and look at from there point of view. Then try to do best you can do no cuting connor's. Then check on active too. Hi and low markets.
How do you see WHAT SOLD ON EBAY? Thanks
Thanks - really enjoying your info, honesty, and enthusiasm. So glad I found you!
I just came across you guys! Thank you for being so down to earth! Ive been reselling for 6 months have only made about $2k but this helped so much....willpower to pass up the stuff you like and get the stuff that sells! I’m only on a couple platforms now but want to start Ebay next but a bit of a beast to understand. Great info will be watching!
Such an important takeaway!!! Yes, the Gambler's Creed-- Brag about how much you made, say nothing on how much you put in to "make" them jackpots! LOL!! Thank you so much for showing this video. I truly made many of those mistakes, too! LOL! Fortunately I did not go too far off the deep end before I turned around. Yall are so energetic and AWESOME!!!! God bless yall and keep up the great work!! :-)
As always you have given good advice. I know that a problem I need to work on is not listing items as I should be doing every day. Dividing it in smaller grouping makes it easier to accomplish.
I'd love to see you two do more of these types of videos! Excellent content, thank you.
Just subscribed. Thanks for your honesty! You just described all the things that I have experienced as a new seller (2 mos). You two are awesome! Very relatable. Keep it up and I'll keep watching 😎
I LOVED this video...felt like I was sitting down for a one on one with my mentors :-). Mistakes....tick, tick, tick, tick and tick ! Totally relate. STILL learning and you guys have helped me so much. I was just wondering the other day what is the best way to deal with all the excess non selling old stock I have, and you answered that question too. It's SOOO hard to not get lost in the moment when we source - but I'm slowly learning to be more selective. it takes TIME. Thank you SOOOOOOO much for this advice. Hope you do more of these vids. Love you guys !! Could you do a video that explains all the jargon (ie click through rates etc ) that some of us, like myself, are totally new to...and show us how to research better???
Your guys content is the best on youtube!!! It’s relatable and adaptable to apply. I’m really appreciative because it’s helped my business alot. Thanks Rali Roots!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this. We are just starting out and I appreciate the valuable information. You all are great. Thanks again.
I gotta say you guys are amazing. I have learned a ton from you in the very short time I have been watching. I have a Overstock store front and buy full truck loads to resell in the store. So I source from my own store to sell online lol. So it’s kinda different from how you source. But I have been watching you guys and you have helped a ton on making sure my accounts for reselling online are set up right.
I am hooked on you guys. Keep doing great work.
very great vid! good to keep our selves grounded and also have realistic expectations and goals. you guys rock!
I'm here catching up ! Haven't been getting any notifications for you guys lately. Yes the Bell is on. :(
Thank you both for going back to the basics 🖤there's always something to be said about those who stay humble and relatable.
And you both are looking great today! That's a great Tesla shirt. And Alli's jewelry is giving goddess vibes 🖤 Hope y'all went out on a date after this :)
Great advice, thank you! I love sourcing, finding treasures. So much fun.
Awesome guys. Wifey and I just started and these tips will help us out greatly. Thank you so much for this valuable information.
Alli really dropped some knowledge in this. Y’all are such a reselling power couple. Great job guys.
thank you for always being so encouraging..much appreciated!
Love you two! Thanks for sharing your mistakes 🥰🥰
Well said. I loath the sellers that throw out big numbers, gross sales and never boil it down to what's real/net. Good for you guys for clearing the air for new sellers.
Great content and great looking couple. Love the smiles!
Great info guys! Going to take a couple right to heart and take action. And...just gotta say it...Ally's smile is amazing. So glad everything you went through is finished - as I'm sure you are. (you're ok too Ryan!..lol)
Thank you for the advice! Even though I am not a clothing reseller, you guys help me soooo much. BTW you guys look so good!
Mistakes are payment for Education. As long as you learn from your Mistakes and don't keep making them.
Just finding you guys after 15 years of Ebay selling. Just about to ramp up to a warehouse space and employees, so it's cool to hear others doing this and that I am doing most things correctly! Thanks for sharing your experience!! xoxo
Love this video! Very helpful. It helped put a bunch of stuff I been thinking about forever, all together. Thanks guys, you're awesome!
Thank you very much for being for others in a day and age where some only look to cut others down! Much Love, Gratitude and Appreciate to you!
I have made every one of those mistakes! Thank you for the advice and encouragement. Now I need to go list!!
New subscriber here!! I love how down to earth you guys are.... Thanks for the advise 😊
Excellent video! I can relate to #4 😁. To much sourcing and not enough listing.
Great info. We do rely on you for this type of video. THANK YOU!
Great video just subbed! I have an eBay reseller thing going on and I do a mix of overstock/liquidation stuff and thrift store vintage/used stuff. So far the overstock stuff is WAY outselling the thrifting stuff. Shipping is my killer. Everything costs a FORTUNE to ship. I started 3 months ago with a pallet of overstock, returns from Walmart (bought from direct liquidation) bought at 10 cents on the dollar. 500+ Monster Bluetooth transmitters and various other items that were untested returns. The Monsters are selling well and I am running out of them but the rest of the pallet is selling sporadically (this is over a 2 1/2 month time span) My biggest nemesis is the shipping cost. I also have the thrifting items (some of them, I suffer from the "I have GOT to get that listed soon" problem as well, lol) But again when a waffle iron form 1954 in perfect condition is listed it would probably bring 15 to 20 dollars BUT then the shipping is that much well...SO I have as of today rented a booth at the local antique store for bulky heavy items and I feel that this can get some of the dead items moving WITH a decent profit while allowing me to concentrate on the eBay side of it a bit more effectively...I hope, lol. Ali Baba can be your friend as well if you are willing to buy in bulk. Just do your research, lol. I also have just spoken with my local post office to see if I can get a discount on shipping since I do and have shipped A LOT of stuff in the past few months (I actually just this week hit my eBay top seller standing which will help a little with eBay fees, wohoo!! ) Great video!! Thanks!!
Brilliant video guys . This is what helps people . If it can happen to Ralli Roots it can happen to anyone. Brilliant very smart .Had to smile at the auction thing . I can remember nearly crying at my items selling for 99p . Keep up the good work. Have a good one
Hi u guys! I just started couple days ago, an I’m still learning what to do an what not to do, u guys are awesome! Keep what u guys are doing an wish me good luck to become successful!🙂
Great vid Ralliroots! First time hearing you guys. Thanks for sharing! :)
Great video with a lot of important information.
I think another mistake new sellers make is staying in their comfort zone. It really pays off to try & buy new things that you never would have thought about selling. Just make sure you do your research first!
Congrats on hitting 90k subscribers. *100k here you come!*
Great content! Good luck in your business. I’m newbie reseller I’m glad to find valuable information . You guys rock!!
You look like you are glowing today. Oh like your matching earrings too. Really appreciate the info. Very helpful.
Mistake #4 is right on! Thanks!
I absolutely love you two. I've been following you for quite some time now. Your videos are entertaining and informational.
Solid humble advice. Thanks for sharing!
You guys are an inspiration to all resellers. Being real and down to earth is what sets you apart from the others. Another great video.... cool Tesla shirt!
RickMo thank you :)
You guys are so awesome! I have learned so much from you, you are very honest an very easy to listen to and you don't try to sell yourselves as bigger than the rest of us. Keep up the great videos and again Thank You so much for the free advise!
Thank you for sharing and being honest about your experience.
It’s so true about buying items and not researching for clothing specifically. I resell clothing and jewelry, and when I started I purchased items I thought would sell really well without researching. I ended up taking most of my items to clothes mentor or sending them into Thred-up just to make some money back off of them and clear space. Market saturation is a big player on item sales too. I also don’t recommend buying anything that’s missing a tag or damaged - your resell rate is automatically going to be lower.
Another issue I had was not being patient. I wanted immediate sales when I started, but that’s not always the case. Its super exciting when you get that first sale and all you want is to keep that flow going. However, some items will sell at higher amounts if you just wait for the right buyer. It’s like those super expensive glasses you two sold recently. It may not have been a super quick turn around, but that specific item was just waiting for a certain buyer.
Thank you for all your videos!
