I saved all my money I made on ebay for spending money on my Hawaii 25th wedding anniversary celebration trip. I earned enough plus I will have extra. It has been so fun to see my bank account grow every month as my sales money gets deposited. Not to mention I love reselling. I have depression and this has helped give me a purpose and keep me busy and be happy. Kevin you helped me get the nerve to try reselling. Next month while I am lying on the beach sipping a cocktail it will make me so proud of the leap of faith that I took. Thank you Kevin for helping me to get to my happy place. Julie 🙂
Good video today. I know things aren't supposed to be super important, but I've enjoyed my knick knacks and toys over the years. Now that I'm 72 I'm getting ready to clear out my belongings before my kids have to. It's marvelous that there are such good ways to find a loving home for my dear possessions.
Good for you!!!
I have been going to garage sale, auctions and whatever, looking for treasures in the junk, for probably about 60 years (since I was a child), and when ebay came along it was a miracle - I could never leave behind a bargain, but NOW, I can buy any fabulous bargain I find because I can resell it and make a profit. People who are too young to remember before the internet don't realize how hard it was to come up with side hustles, or how hard it was to liquidate your items if you needed money.
I've been a reseller since 2003, full time since 2009. The game is not getting better and better. It's getting worse and worse and most people will agree with me. Fees have gone up, buyers have becoming more demanding (and more and more scammy), sourcing has become more difficult, competition has become more intense as more and more people get into the game, shipping costs go up every year, and the platforms have become more demanding (sometimes unreasonably so). Even with the challenges, Ebay is still the best platform to sell. I hope it continues to be a viable platform. Keep up the good work.. Glad you guys are on our side.
I love being a reseller! I have a brick & mortar vintage / antique /clothing store called Southern Market, in Blackshear, Ga and I also sell on ebay.
Instead of taking a vacation to places like Disney, etc, I go on vacation to thrift or yard sale. I then take the merchandise I buy and sell at my store or ebay and make back way more money than I spent on my "vacation"🙌
You inspired my wife and I to become a reseller! We’re just starting out, and are excited to be on this journey. Our goals are to get out of debt and start saving for a house. We don’t miss an episode. Thanks for all you do.
Great video! I’m a solo mom and selling on eBay gives me the opportunity to do a side hustle while working at home. I source alot online and I have my garage as my eBay cave. I’ve also been able to fund vacations and summer camp with my side hustle.
On a side note, I minored in history in college and I still watch history docs. I’m hoping someday we can get ‘The Commonwealth Flipper History Lesson’ TH-cam Channel! I would totally watch!
I lost my job at the end of 2020. Lucky enough to find a job relatively quickly but for half the pay. I started reselling to supplement that income difference. I wouldn't have made it if I didn't have that opportunity to resell. Now I have a better job and still resell and am providing for my family and banking retirement income. I consider myself lucky to have eBay, and selling platforms, and my customers to have made it through the most difficult financial time of my life.
I am retired from law enforcement after 35 years, and I started reselling on eBay and I love it. It gave me something to do after retirement. I’m having a great time doing that. I appreciate watching your videos and learning. Thank you for your time and content.
Thanks for your kind words.
It’s an incredible feeling to pick something you think someone else will enjoy, then someone buys it and you get money and sometimes a heart felt thank you from the buyer - it’s quite a warm feeling 😊
I love it when that happens. Reminds me of why I started selling on eBay.
Hey Mr.Brown another great day for you and the family. Love your channels, yep I watch them all glad you keep things clean a show for all ages
We have been part time resellers for over a year. I’m a military retiree, and it’s been a nice option for earning some cash. My wife loves the thrifting / prospecting aspect, and my background in logistics and operations keeps us running efficiently. It’s nice to have something we enjoy doing together, and it puts extra cash in our pocket. I’ve thought about going back to work, but I prefer being “self-employed”. I’m sure I could make more per hour working for someone else, but some of my “paid” hours as a reseller are sitting on my couch, sipping a cold beverage while listing items, and watching the sales roll in. Not a bad way to make money! Thanks for sharing your insights!
I worked in the school system and did reselling on the weekends, flea market and garage sales, back then we didn't have online selling, I'm 70 now, disabled, I love watching you 😊
App gigs. I’ve driven for Uber and Lyft. Also delivery services. Point pick up delivery for Walmart. Grub hub, door dash and many more.
Teaching burned me out after 15 years, especially after leaving WI and moving to NC: come in early, serve breakfast, give up your lunch hour, stay after for bus duty, all for no extra pay. In WI those were all paid extras, andmy salary was 20K more. Plus, as a special ed teacher, there was so much paperwork to do after hours that my kids were being neglected, especially my son with Down syndrome. He really needed me at night (husband works nights). I was already doing ebay part time and full time in summer, and was just tired of teaching. It was no longer fun. Now I make my own schedule, work when I can, and don't have to answer to anyone, don't have to make sub plans, don't have to get hounded about standardized test scores, and so on. In March it'll be 20 years of ebay selling, with the last 11 being full time.. Sales are slow lately and it' discouraging, but not enough to go back to the classroom!
I am a 25+ gambling addict that I am recovering from..sober for a few years now and that is due to reselling. I have used that focus of time and money that I use to spend on gambling and turned it into a great business that has changed my life. Reselling is amazing!
No one is forced to sell on E Bay. It is an opportunity to make extra money or even a full income. There is other ways to make extra money, but E Bay in my opinion is more fun. People will always be negative towards other peoples way of making money, especially when they are not willing to put in the effort to make it work for them. Thanks Kevin for shedding light on how great E Bay can be!!
I have been reselling more intensely for the last few months. I am focusing on clothes and having great success. I regularly find hundreds of dollars of clothes a day that have high sell-through and cost 15-20% of what they sell for.
I'm a part timer on ebay was finding great items however now I can't find any new inventory worth reselling this year. Thinking about calling it quits. If you don't live in a great spot for picking you won't make it.
I agree 💯 % I’m not a salesperson that’s why I like eBay because ppl come to me to buy stuff I don’t have to push my product, they buy because they want it.
I love to go to garage sales but I didn’t need anything so after I retired at 55 I started reselling just to have some extra money and absolutely love it .
I am the breadwinner (w full time job) and we do need all the profit from my eBay business. But eBay is the fun job (most of the time!!😂)
People saying bad things about ebay are People who have had bad experiences or just bots or kids or people who have nothing better to do.
Hats off to you for shipping that cassette holder. No way I would've touched that. That's why you're the best!
I agree 100% with everything you talked about today. You are a class act, Kevin. I appreciate you!
WHY WOULD ANYONE SELL ON EBAY?
Why would barber cut hair for $15?
Why would Uber drivers, drive for $10 a ride?
Why would coffee shops sell coffee for $4?
What would dollar tree sell stuff for $1…….?????????
Most jobs and professions pay little at a time, but with hard work and perseverance, the repetition of sells make the world go around and even make people rich, it’s all about each individual making it work for themselves! You are the best Kevin and great inspiration.
If eBay became unviable, there is always the flea market, garage sale, antique stores, boutiques booth malls, buy and sell thrift stores, and auctions, to name a few places to FLIP.
I’ve tried all that stuff except a thrift store and margins are so low on everything but online sales that it wasn’t viable full time for me. I’m in a smaller area so that could be it but it’s a tourist area where the population grows by 400% or more summer and my antique booth was packed with great items at about 40% of eBay prices and sold enough to pay the $89 monthly rent plus making around $200 a week on a good week. If eBay and Amazon went down I’d be screwed lol.
@@picklikeapro6952 I have experience living in a summer destination. Our antique stores started fading decades ago. Online sales are awesome, but if that market collapses, I'll never stop being a flipper.
One of the things I love most about selling on eBay is when a special item is bought by someone who I know will really enjoy it. I recently sold an Edward H. Biltmore Precision model of the Gemini space capsule to a guy in Canada who was involved in the project! We shared some really nice messages which makes the selling process so much more enjoyable.
I am half way to buying a truck and your videos have helped immensely, thank you!
Hi Kevin, I am one of those retired folks reselling on eBay. I love it and it is making us some extra money. My 2023 sales were great and 2024 is starting off well. Thanks for your continued efforts to help us fellow resellers and the business as a whole.
I’d love to pay my house off early with my reselling side hustle. Thanks Kevin for great content!
I work full time (school year) as a school administrative assistant/office manager, I am 73 (!!) and am thinking about retiring soon. I would like to "go through the house" as you and your sweet wife did sometime back and sell things so my husband and I can move into a smaller/more senior friendly place. As you can imagine, we have accumulated a massive amount of vintage & antique items. We have three grown children who collected all sorts of collectibles as they grew to adulthood. Then, they left their "stuff" with me and Dad. I just don't know if I have the get-up-and-go stamina to set up a reselling shop. Anyhoo...wondering if you or other resellers have considered going into a partnership of sorts with seniors (the boomers are still here!) to help sell our accumulations. If not, I will just plug along and sell as best I can. Love your videos and the valuable information you pass along. Thanks so much! Candy from San Francisco.
I have put my daughter through college with selling on eBay . Not always easy but worth it .
I resell just because I enjoy looking for retro/vintage things. I found people like you online and learned I could make a little extra cash doing something I love. I say a little because I don’t do it at your level yet. I work full time and do this as a hobby really but would love to transition to it full time one day. I prefer selling in person and did that for years but in my area that’s not as profitable anymore. I only sell on Mercari as of now because it’s so simple but I’m branching out to eBay slowly. I have been intimidated by Amazon and still really don’t know how or if I need to start there yet. Thanks so much for your great advice and wonderful content. My stuff is under some version of the name retro cult where ever I put it.
Hey Kevin, I have enjoyed your videos. Very informative, and your advice has helped me out a lot. I have been a part time reseller on eBay for 11 years. Last year my job shut down and my wife encouraged me to start selling full time. Last year was great. It's been the best thing to happen to me. I really enjoy it. But something has definitely changed over the last month. There is no live customer service to help buyers or sellers. I can't get any help at all from eBay with returns, unfair feedback or scammers. I am not sure how other reselling platforms are changing, but this can't be good for the future of eBay. I'll continue to make the best of it but now I am starting to rethink what my next move will be. I hope eBay rethinks this new process. My goal this year is to definitely try another resell site. Anyway, thanks for your content!
I love you Kevin, you're tops! I vote for you as president of reselling, if not for your tenure, then your charisma. Cheers to my fave reseller, besides me.. toast to 2024 my dude~
When people talk down reselling, I agree with them. If they don't realize the possibilities, they may just not have what it takes to do it Well. It is like being an influencer, you tuber, etc .. generally, people who are good at it rise to the top, and only some of the best actually stay there, because they know how to shift and adapt as demands change. People who don't seem to "get it", don't want to or just don't have the strengths in the right areas to see the possibility of success, and still others don't enjoy what (all or parts of) the job entails. Some people hate shopping which is how many get inventory, and even many resellers who are highly successful hate listing, photographing, etc. I love it all, personally. I just consider myself, and others like me, lucky.
I do some print on demand stuff that I sell on etsy. I put almost no time into it, so I only make about $700-$1,000 a year on it. I don't think it would ever replace my ebay sales even if I put a bunch of time into it. But it is nice to have that little extra. I also put some of my old lesson plans and worksheets that I made on Teachers Pay Teachers, and that makes even less, but since I already had them, it was easy to upload them and make a little extra cash with them too.
I like being able to sell on Ebay when I want to sell. I am retired and I have occasionally went back part time but I like the freedom of doing what I want (paranormal research/investigation) and resell parttime.
Daughter and I have figured out how to resize boxes that are too big. We can also make boxes out of cardboard, if need be. Clerk at the PO is constantly amazed. Figure it out, it doesn't take that long. Resizing boxes can help with shipping weight. I've been doing Ebay since 2001. 10-15 years ago, it was INSANE. Then USPS prices went overboard & many of my regulars had to stop buying from me. These days, I'm selling more personal stuff, many of my collections, vintage stuff from my in laws. I sell to save up for my house taxes & insurance, new tires on my car, and to purge all the crap in my house and garage that is NOT bringing me joy. Thanks for all your help!
Success is personal, and each of us has our own definition...it isn't always $$$.
No doubt
Reselling is the best income for an old retired teacher like me. Easy on the old man body and I almost make as much as my teacher retirement income.
If you are well-off, your use of credit cards will be entirely different. If you have plenty of money to pay any bill at the end of the month, you'll want to take advantage of points and rewards.
#1 reason we sell on eBay? My wife and I have "buying disorder." We just love finding deals. It's either resell our finds, or become hoarders. We would rather not be hoarders, so we resell. Ebay is a platform where a lot of different stuff can be sold. I've been selling on ebay for 24 years. eBay has been a nice side hustle, really don't need the $$, just need to find homes for the stuff we pick up. We typically sell items at at least 10X what we paid for the items. Some items have been terrific scores. The more you know, the more scores you will find. 99% + of the buyers I have gotten have been reasonable. As many bail out on eBay, thats good news for those of us that continue to sell there. Been selling a lot of books lately. Yes, it can take a while to sell them, but the markup is really great. My favorite part of the process is finding something I don't need and getting it into the hands of someone who wants it. On side hustles, I used to buy/repair/resell bicycles. I was selling at least 50 bikes per year. Made more money on bikes than I did on ebay.
My husband and I have done "side hustles" our whole 25 year marriage and it really started in college. I lived in Chicago and did coat checking for a guy that had contracts at several hotels, House of Blues, event centers. It was great, instant money for poor college kids. My husband started refereeing rec league about the same time. Eventually we moved back to the west coast. Fast forward to now, he still referees football (college) and basketball. I've done several other side gigs over the years (making/selling on Etsy, doing inventory, Door Dash/Shipt, web design). Now I'm reselling on Ebay, etc. and really enjoying it so far. There's no shame in a side hustle.
When I was working full time in manufacturing, I had two side businesses. I had a booth at a local antique mall. I had that for 8 years with my husband. The antique mall closed last year and that's when I went to EBAY full time. I also had a craft business where I did craft shows for 10 years. Crochet and baby gifts. I put that on hold in 2020.
Depending on the antique mall and location, it can be a worth while side job. I had one year i was working my full time drafter job, had both of my side businesses and worked at a friends toy store every Saturday! One year of that was all my husband could take! 😂As he picked up the slack for the antique booth!
25 + years on eBay. Retired as a Union Plumber in NYC 1 year ago after 30 years. Worked 3 jobs most of my life. Those 2 plus Uber driver (stopped when Covid hit) and switched to DoorDash / Grub Hub food delivery. Down to 2 jobs now, but work when I feel like it. Life is good!
I’ve been reselling and doing app gigs since I was fired from my last job. For no reason. I was just crushed. I put so much into it. I’ll never get a real job again.
Why not sell on eBay? should be the real question.
my daughter was just born in December, & I took off of work for the next 3 months WITHOUT pay. My wife is also off without pay. Reselling on eBay made that possible.
I use reselling for those "rainy" days!
I just love watching:). Thanks for sharing!
I work full time earn pretty good money, but after you fork out for mortgage payments, bills, food etc doesn't leave you much, so selling on Ebay as my side hustle to earn extra income, I've purchased a nice new car and we've gone on fantastic overseas holidays. Thank you Ebay!
I’m started selling on eBay because I bid on a storage unit and won it and needed an outlet to sell the stuff, three months later I’m hooked. My wife and I go thrifting once a week and I am averaging three sales a day. It’s brought us closer together working towards the same goals.
eBay is helping me be picky about my next day job. I’m not going high on the hog, but I’m not starving either. I think a lot of the people who poopoo it like in those comments are either in a very expensive area and maybe it’s not worth it or they are young and have not had to live and are just tossing stuff out in the void. It’s nice when you go for an interview and they ask about your current employer and you can toot your own horn. Credit to me isn’t bad you have to use it in business but you have to be aware of your use. My bosses for most of the last decade were addicted to credit they had more notes almost than employees. I have always been a scrapper it’s unfortunately not a full time thing but it is a good way to make money off of products that you bought to resell that didn’t work and are too heavy to sell for parts. I also scrap gold from computers because people just tend to give me their old ones. When I was a kid though I had my best/worst business idea a neighbor kid and I would wander around catch snakes. We would take a bag down to the local store and try to sell them to people. We did sell a few but usually people ran the hell away. I also helped my grandparents pull moss and other plants from the woods to sell which if you have gensing in your area I would recommend doing as it’s very good money and exercise.
I retired 6 years ago from an office job that I worked at for 35 years and loved. Moved down south and started 2 weeks later working at an alpaca farm. I do this 4 days a week. Also, do ebay, make soap and weave shawls.😊
I am not making much ...just started, but what I have made I am putting towards my daughter's college tuition. I also love doing it!
One thing I've learned selling many years, if you sell unique items like thrift finds your ok, single items on the gone. But if you buy say a 1000 items try to repeat sale, competitors will file false reports against that listing untill it's pulled.
My Family puts me down for doing it. They say I'll never get anywhere doing this sometime I think their right.But I started my ebay store to help with cost of cats I rescue and my family.
Just sold a ceramic and opal ring I made, on ebay...still learning ebay so these videos help..excited to get my first sale! $ will be made, if you just do it!
Love the channel man. Such an inspiration. Moving to Florida soon. Gonna start out part-time, and hopefully ramp up into full time.
Reselling has absolutely been a life changer for me. I am definitely not getting rich from it, but it sustains me, pays the bills and allows freedoms that a "regular" job never did. Thank You for the mention of my channel, I appreciate you my friend.
Thank you, Kevin! You give such an education and such enjoyment with time well spent getting to watch you!
Hi Kevin, You asked about side hustles...when I was getting out of debt, I was selling things around my house, but I also started walking dogs. I could do it on lunch break from my full time job, as well as after work. I started in May that year (I think it was 2016) and made 4K from May to December. I was a full blown dog walker until I got out of debt in 2020, then backed off a bit, and now I mainly concentrate on reselling (and do a little bit of online sales for another company) outside of my full time job, so there's an idea for people 😊🐕 Liked and shared, thanks for sharing your story and your knowledge.
To some people 12 or 15 k extra a year is life changing it is for me
I got into reselling to get out of debt and I got out of debt right when I lost my job. It’s been amazing to do this now. I feel the pressure when it’s not going amazing, but I’m still happier than ever.
Amen brother
Rather misleading title. Stay on topic people don't want to see what you sold.
Ebay saved my butt. Working on getting a bed and getting money to fix my roof.
One of my sons, do mechanic work on the side for people who may not be able to go to a shop for the repair. He has also have done tattoos on the side. He is attempting to resell on the side but most of the time he gives me the item to tell me to sell for him. My other son, has shopped for people and have done tattoos on the side.
I'm a teacher. My minimal eBay side hustle allows me to handle unexpected expenses with NO IMPACT to my family. My truck broke down and I easily made up for the $2,200 repair. No sweat! It's so worth it.
HOW MUCH IS YOUR BEAR TAG ONN THE WALL OF NEXT TO THE LAMP
I'm still working part-time at an animal shelter/rescue, side hustle re-selling - side- side hustle is pet sitting.
My only complaint with reselling, with business in general actually is there are to many men involved. Men ruin everything, no offense just facts. Other than that, it’s still a decent way of making extra money, thought harder now because of…..well men. I’m not an advocate of reselling over conventional jobs because you will always make more money at a conventional job because people aren’t taking into account how much time and expense any business actually requires. Reselling is a great way of making extra money for sure and the “treasure hunt” aspect of it is so fun.
Men ruin everything? who do you take your car to to get it fixed?
I started my side hustle at 12 buying craft candles in bulk at the Rose Bowl swap meet and reselling in multiple gift shops on consignment. Then moved on to selling pot to my buddies ih High School senior year, another not recommended form of reselling (only for a year as a minor) LOL. Much later as a hobby I would buy stereo equipment on ebay, enjoy it for a while, then resell it to buy something else to listen too. Over the years that occasional hobby totaled $40,000 in sales and surprised me when I found out. Started selling my personal stuff starting with my office closet contents when I became disabled and had zero income of any kind (it helped that I found a bunch of silver coins that I stashed in there and forgot about!). Now I just spend a little time doing what I can selling some on ebay and suppliment the disability income that it took 27 months and 6 denials to get.
"Why Would Anybody Want To Sell On Ebay?" I know, right!?
So spent an hour and $120 at the ReStore today and will net $1,300 eventually and only have to do three listings... that's why!
I know what you mean about busting your tale to fix the car. Recently I passed out while driving to work. I was stoping, so my car hit the curb. I have a 2021 mustang,it messed up the wheel and things inside. I won't borrow the money, so I have been pushing my sales on ebay. I've already bought the wheel, I almost have enough for what is needed to fix it. The next things is buying the tire. It's been really hard, we are without a car. I get a ride to work, my husband rides his bike. The temp has been 20 degrees.
You will be so proud of yourself when it gets done. I admire people like you. Helen
I do think reselling is a skill that needs to be learned and adapted too. Not everyone is going to be good at this trade, and those people tend to be the haters. Hopefully those folks will find what they are good at ;-)
Kevin, I am totally surprised that you don't have more than 63K subscribers. I enjoy your videos.
But yet Hairy Tornado, part-time picker, and the homeschooling picker all have a lot
more subscribers. Don't understand why.
This is the flipper channel, he has over 100K on the Picker channel as well :)
You are one of the most sincere and generous of your time and knowledge TH-camrs out there. I always watch your videos. Thank you for encouraging resellers (like me) to keep at it. On eBay since 2008. Going to cross post this year. I can do my eBay in my pajamas. Like in my career, I get to implement systems and organizing. No one can tell me to do it their way. Thanks for reading my post Kevin.
I am retired, love thrifting. Recouperating at home post surgery n I found you on FB. I have learned so much. I want to supplement retirement and going to begin reselling. Thank you for 7:51 your posts and honesty.
I was freelancing in the publishing industry. I stopped because I got tired of dealing with people every day.
I think I listened to the $100,000 only making $12,000 video...his philosophy is that no one can't survive without debt. I'm of the philosophy, you can do everything without debt as well... It will just take a bit of time and creativity. There's a will there's a way. Great video...
My first hustle I started at 14 and I’m still doing at 36 with a full time business I own and now a second hustle is pet sitting! I absolutely love it!
👍
I think some people get burned when they try ebay - bad inventory picks, building inventory too fast, or whatever - which could have been some of the nay-sayers. It also relies heavily on your local area, which is simply poor pickings for many people.
Print on demand and selling digital products are also a great side hustle with no up front costs.
Kevin, where did the cassette rack ship to??
I wouldn't even give the naysayers any air time. Some people intentionally find negative statements to make, just hoping to cause a stir. I say, ignore and delete!! You provide a valuable service to many. Keep up the great work!
Good Saturday morning Kevin 😊
I retired early with a small cal pers pension (under 1000). I did this to help my daughter. She needed someone to watch her kids at 5:30 am. So I took up eBay again. It has helped so much. I don't make thousands, but between cal pers, early social security now, and eBay, I am doing fine. Only debt is my car. I wouldn't have been able to help without eBay.
I retired early at 62.I am now 64. I work 18hrs a week as a food demo at Costco. I started reselling 1 year ago. I get garenteed income from SS and demo. And reselling gives me extra money. It’s fun. But a lot of work. I love my life now.
If adhd Dave can do it anyone can😅😂😅😂❤❤❤
Reselling is a side hustle. I have a small brick and mortar store (see pic) that I opened 2 years ago. I resell to supplement my income while I grow my clientele and get my business growing. Your videos have been very beneficial for me and now my reselling is actually 1/4 of my overall sales.
Ahh yes you have one of those stores that rip people off on boxes and shipping. Good for you
@@adammonahan687 I'm sorry that someone hurt you so much that you have to criticize other people. Please get some help.
@MarkymarcLasVegas lol. Nobody hurt me. I'm just stating facts. All those stores are the same. Overpriced everything. Shipping charges that make absolutely zero sense. You rely on customers that don't know better. End of story

Don't be a douche, get an Eneman
I have some friends who are always buying lottery tickets hoping to win big. When I point out that the odds of winning are 175.000.000 to one they get upset. I'd much rather play the odds with an item I bought to resell. I'm sure the odds are better, lol.
I work full-time approaching retirement in about 5 years and husband is looking to retire in the next year. Reselling since 2019 has been a great supplement and I keep growing it to be ready to take it full-time in retirement.
I always say, I can put a decoy out for 40$ in my flea market booth, sell on eBay 340, no brainier.
My daughter did dog walking & house sitting in college, was easy to work around her schedule, she had some on a regular schedule. They spoiled her, leaving her fave treats and drinks at the house for her.
If I had to, I could take in mending. But for now I try to keep sewing to just a hobby.
Reselling allows me to keep making a decent income with a mix of health issues that don’t allow me to keep a consistent schedule.
We love what we are doing. Yes, it has its difficulties. But, it also gives us control over our schedule. We have a choice as what we list. It has helped us pay off college so our daughter will be debt free, paying for a wedding, etc. I worked for years for good bosses & a couple bad ones. It is a blessing to be your own boss and set your own life schedule. Even on the bad weeks, it is better than working for a bad boss, company. Thanks for all your advice & wisdom. Life is short, enjoy it!
Do you like Bruce Springsteen? OK if I refer to you as 'The Coach' ?
Beyond my regular fulltime job, I sell on eBay and I am a casino party dealer (Craps, Roulette and Blackjack dealer). No real money is involved (except tips) since Texas doesn't allow gambling in the state. I work for four different companies and make a base pay of $25-35 an hour and usually get tips on top of that. It is a great side hustle because it's actually pretty fun, you meet some nice people and I have been in a lot of great places that I never would have been to if it wasn't for dealing at these parties. Since I'm a contractor in these positions, I can write off my mileage, which usually covers a good portion of the taxes owed.
I was invited to one of these parties, and it was so much fun gambling with play money! Perfect for a frugal person like me!
First?
My great grandma had an apron like the one you just sold. ❤
Yes so true ! EBay good for personal choice no bossy checking time ! Any job is work thanks for yiur videos
