I personally love long videos as I watch them in bed to unwind so the longer the better for me, plus I adore both you & hayley. Your attitude, your humbleness, you just seem like really nice people & the world needs more people like you 2 x
do you want to watch together?
Normal job, normal income. Pave your own way, create the income and lifestyle you want! Welcome back from Iceland!
I miss these types of videos from you guys. While it may not perform as well as some of your more storyboarded, tightly edited videos, I've always thought that there's something to be said for making content for the people that already follow you rather than primarily the people that don't yet follow you.
Hey Josh, idk if you will read this but just in case…my father passed away New Year’s Eve and it’s been a rough time. I’m in between jobs, money is extremely tight. Me and my dad used to do eBay reselling together years ago but life got in the way and we quit doing it. The last few months of his life he was talking about starting it back up. I was kind of hesitant for no good reason. The last clip you did, you were wearing a golf shirt that he also had. He wore it often. I ugly cried for a few minutes and then it hit me. I feel like this might be him, or god, or some higher power giving me the sign to do this. Thank you for your content. It means a lot to the community.
Your dad was a smart man. If he sent you a sign he knows you’ll feel close to him doing this and he wanted you to do it to begin with for a reason. There’s other ways to create your own or even just extra income but very few with low capital.
I sold on Ebay until my husband passed two years ago then quit. Now I'm ready to start up again and it reminds me how much fun we had sourcing and selling. Just now creating my first listing. Ugly cry and keep the memories! All the best...
Go for it! Sounds like a sign to me :)
It was nice to share a “normal day” with you and Haley.
Yes these are my favorite type of videos!!
We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
the best decision I ever made in my life was investing in financial market. Trust me guys, it pays a lot. I have come to realize that trading bitcoin is more profitable than holding it and waiting for it to skyrocket. If you trade without a expert then you are gambling and have no business in trading..
I have loss severally trying to trade on my own. Can someone tell me the best way to win instead of losing more?
I think he must be very good with crypto because he has been recommended by many TH-camrs to learn how to trade with him.
Actually thought I was the only one trading with Mr fergus waylen !. he currently manages all my funds too and he also provides webinars on how to trade perfectly without losses, I haven't started on my own yet, still building up my portfolio with him help now.
I'm from Denver Colorado USA, I connected him and he has helped me a lot, he makes so much profit for me he is a FINRA agent, the best I can invest with so far ever since I came across expert Fergus waylen, my bad turned out being good and profitable. he's made success earlier than I thought.
Love this casual, inside look kinda video that gives a lot of tips and tricks from your experience. Really cool to see and helpful!
Love this video w/ a little bit of everything. You do a great job mixing things up & keeping it fresh & it's been awhile since you've put one out like this. I always look forward to seeing your content! Long or short, I always watch. Thanks for all you do!
I made a list of what I've learned from you:
Be 100% transparent, flea market bargaining, organization for inventory is key, Mose is an important part of the team, sharing your mission trips, Harleys progression as a reseller- so proud of her. I can go on. Thank you so much. I watch daily. I sell on Poshmark and I've been to your bins.
I'm a new reseller and have been having a lot of success largely due to all the advice I've gotten from these videos! I'd love a video that kinda touches on how to identify high value shoes/clothing. Or just tips on how you pick the items you choose to buy. I know there is a lot that goes into it, but I feel this is an even harder thing to learn than shipping has been. Wishing the best to your family, your videos help a lot of people!
i like what your saying. They could do like 5 pointers to look at while judging shoes. And do another real time cleaning of a couple stained item. shoes or Garments, hats.
Man I wish I’d found them before I started selling!! I made some mistakes along the way, but people like Josh & Haylie sharing their knowledge has helped tremendously.
My son and daughter went to Iceland in the summer on a college trip to help the area dig up and pull up non-native plants. They loved it. Had an amazing time. They had people cooking for them native dishes and they traveled all over.
For sure keep this content going with packing orders and tips and trips!
Love the longer videos and love these type of ‘a day with us’ videos :)
My hubby would’ve loved that Lego bonsai tree kit. He kills every live one he gets..lol! 😂 And I really liked those red checked Vans a lot too! 👟
Mose looked so cool today. Truly happy. Good job.
One of the best shows, very helpful for someone like me - 82 years of age ( not old ) about to try eBay to disperse 60 years of collecting and thrifting
Wells Lamont is very good brand of gloves. You’ll love this. Began in 1907 as The Wells Glove Company in Aberdeen, SD with $500 and five sewing machines. They are known for their leather work gloves. In the last ten years, they have been developing new techniques processing the leather.
I love the 1092 suggestion for shipping shoes in a box. I slide them in a poly bag and off they go. I personally have never had an issue but I still dig your method.
I missed seeing videos about eBay. I don’t enjoy the whatnot ones as much because I can’t really buy/sell on there in Australia.
I missed these kind of videos. Definitely OG VIDEO... hopefully they make a comeback!
I appreciate that you buy items that need to be cleaned. So many resellers don't even think about having to do anything and want store to home to sell with no effort.
Love this longer, variety video. More like this please. You guys inspire us, not only in reselling but also just in daily life. Thanks. 💕
I love the long videos. Especially the ones with a little thrifting, little order fulfillment, little shipping and of course a little playful pupper!!
I'm new to reselling. Questions... should I have my return address a PO Box? Did you say you had e-bay returns sent to your PO box? And you didn't check it for over a month? Don't you need to check the returns to make sure they aren't broken, aren't empty boxes, etc? How often to you have items get damaged in shipping? What about insuring items/using priority mail? Do you always use some kind of shipping that has insurance to protect yourself. Shipping is the one thing on e-bay that i just don't get! And all the shipping videos I've seen just aren't thorough enough. They don't answer these types of questions. Help! And I did really like this video!
lol. Never feel bad abt ur vs wife's quality and quantity of finds. U are the OG in the fam. All success is because of you !
I am so obsessed with that Murdaugh trial too! Didn’t know that was your hometown Josh. So unbelievable.
It’s wild!
This was great. There is a lot of variety in what you do on this kind of day and it makes a really good video. This was the perfect excuse to take a longe break from my cleaning project.
3:30 those packages should’ve been all under $10 if you had used pirate ship box in bag cubic rate.
I highly suggest a zebra LP2844. I bought mine six years ago and I printed close to 60,000 labels on it. I have a back up, but I don’t feel like it’s ever gonna break. There’s hardly any delay.
There is no rebooting if the power goes out.
I made an entire video on pirate ship and how people don’t understand what the box in bag cubic rate actually is. You should watch it. Search Hairy Tornado Pirate Ship.
@ I know how I use it. I’ve probably shipped about 6000 items through pirate ship at this point.
100% prefer these kind of videos, in fact I genuinely missed them, the longer the better!
Just discovered you a few days ago from Phoenix Resale. Love your content, man. My partner and I just started the journey about 2 weeks ago and have already made almost $500 in sales. I'm loving this type of content! Hope you and your family are well!
Packing the Shoe Box in a 1092: I use that "Box Stretching" method myself on other boxes when I need them a bit longer, taller or wider, but when I have a pair of shoes in their retail box too large to fit into the Priority Shoebox, I use the 1092 (or 1095 or 1097) a bit differently.
I slit it open lengthwise along the glued up double seam, following the red line and lay it wide open. Then I put the shoe box on 1 of the factory folds (usually upside down, since the shoe box lid is a bit wider then the base) and wrap the 1092 around the shoe box, burrito style. I make the new folds for the 1092 using the shoe box as the form, by just folding them over. When it comes all the way around I overlap it and inch or two.
If it is way too long, I slice off the excess off (which for me is that doubled up seam on the 1092 where I made the first slit), still leaving an overlap. Then I make the new flaps, with knife slits the same way you did. I do the slits for the new end flaps from the inside, by pushing the knife out adjacent to the shoe box ends. That way I am less likely to cut the product.
Doing it this way takes about the same time as Box Stretching. But doing it as a wrap avoids having extra space inside that then needs void fill and can keep the weight down (cutting the overlap, trimming the flaps shorter and using no void fill), which sometimes keeps you from jumping up to the next pound on the pay scale.
I use this same method for board games, puzzles or any new product in a square shaped box that is sturdy enough to not need bubble wrap or void fill.
Oh, I like the Day in the Life style videos!
If the Retail Shoe box is very large, say for really large work boots, I use the same method, but slit 2 boxes fully open. The first is folded as a U shape on the top face and down two sides, the second is folded as a U shape on the back face and up two sides. I trim both places they overlap, on the sides. Tape them up and make the new end fold slits the same way as before.
I am addicted to the trial, it is better than any TV crime show! You couldn’t have made this story up if you tried! Enjoy the two of you as well! Keep up the good work, you work so well together and are always so positive!🇨🇦🎉❤️
Search James from Court on youtube. He stated getting interested in trials during Depp/Heard. He received his first reporter pass during this trial and has a fresh take on what went on in courtroom and reactions of jury to trial.
Ebay didn't always charge their fee on shipping. But sellers used to "sell" their items for "0.01" with like $100 shipping to avoid the fees. Ebay started charging fees on the shipping to prevent that
Like the longer video and the "day in the life" format. Learn so much from you each video. Thank you.
Agree on file cabinets. I was doing stacked banker boxes but it was hard to pull out the ones on the bottom so now I have filing cabinets with a fewer banker boxes on top. If you check for used filing cabinets you can sometimes get them free and easy pull out shelving is so nice!
Honestly I love seeing what the actual cost is to you two once you make a sale I work a full time job and have always wanted to start my own business along with being a reseller but you have honestly shown how difficult it is and made me realize that it takes way more effort than what I'm expecting
The folding of the priority box will be a life changer for me! Thanks!
Red Phone Handsets from that era usually have modular cords, so you can unplug the stretchable cable at the phone end and do the wrapping in 2 parts (or unplug it at both ends and wrap it in 3 parts), without having the cord get in the way, during the pack.
Love all the content! I watched thru because I’m working on similar mixed content but I prefer your 10-15 min videos. I got distracted somewhere in the mail and had to scroll back.
I always send a thank you card with my orders. Also include a sunflower stick cause I am in Kansas! I get a lot of mentions in feedback! I also get messages from buyers praising the stickers !
Great stuff! Would love to see a break even type spreadsheet of the $2500 pallet. Love the videos!
Loved this "old school" Hairy Tornado video.
I love seeing the old school videos like this one. Thanks for making a longer one. Still enjoy whatever content you guys make!
OMG I am obsessed with the Murdaugh case!!! I can’t believe your connection!!!!
I love this type of videos it keeps me motivated
Me too!
I'm a long time watcher and never comment but this is my lonnng over-due THANK YOU to you, Hayley and Mose. I've been a ebay seller since the pandemic and your knowledge has been absolutely amazing and implemented into my ebay selling. I'm a Pokémon seller/TH-camr and when the cards aren't selling, I have my goodwill and thrift items to keep me afloat! My wife and I have been enjoying your content for years and we appreciate all that you've shared including the joy of that sweet dog of yours! Love you so much! Keep up the legendary content ya'll! ❤️
I have thought before that file cabinets would be a great way to store inventory.
Great for you guys finding cheap items. Same items here are much higher at salvation army and goodwill. Even the bins are almost 3 dollars a pound.
That Black n purple Wells Lamont pair of gloves from that Thrift Store are Carhartt. Actually Carhartt is Wells Lamont.
YES!! I have been missing the OG style videos! Thanks!!!
I know you want your vacation to be a vacation, but oh, if ever you wanted to vlog a trip, that would've been it. I would love to have seen what you saw. I would love to go there someday and see the Northern Lights.
PLEASE MORE LIKE THIS! Love this OG Hairy Tornado
I'm from Moscow, ID, so I get that weird feeling about your town suddenly being news-worthy due to a tragedy. Thanks for the kick in getting my foot pedal listed too - I had been sitting on it too long.
Yes! These are my favorite kinds of videos from you guys. It’s definitely a throw back.
Josh and Hayley, I always enjoy your videos! You keep the conversation and action going so it never gets boring. Mose is a hoot, he was very talkative today and needed to tell his part of the story as well! Thanks for the video.
@Lee Willers I agree with you about Mose. I'm sorry Josh and Hayley, but when he puts in an appearance, he steals the whole show. :) :) You need to make him a 'partner' in your business. :)
cool tip for making the shoe boxes fit in the shipping box
I have missed these types of videos. Great to see “old” school videos again. More please!
I definitely have missed the videos of you pulling your sales. Those are my personal favorites. ❤
Yes we love seeing all behind the seens
Josh, I like these videos but then again, I like all the videos that you and Haley do.
Whoa so interesting that you are so close to that Netflix story. Great idea w/ show box adjustment. ❤️🇨🇦
2:16 the reason Ebay charges fees on the shipping is because people were "cheating" ebay's system by selling $100 items for $1 and charging $99 for shipping (since there werent fees on the shipping cost at that time) and only paying fees on the $1.
i am so absorbed in the Murdaugh trial and to see the AG of south carolina doing direct on Dr Kinsley was soooo good
Oh...and new subby here. There are so many 'flippers' out there in youtube world...so for me, it boils down to personality and character.
That’s so cool how you did that with the box so it would fit the shoe box
Hello from Washington State. I LOVE the packing video! Very informative. Thank you.
We absolutely loved it!!!! MORE LONG VIDEOS PLEASE!!!!
Please keep the “what sold on eBay” videos coming! I haven’t seen many lately
I prefer the longer videos, you both are down to earth ppl and you both have fun with it. Can’t wait for more updates on rehab. smooches to Mose!
That’s so nice people send you all gifts
I know you send thank you cards.
You both are so sweet ❤
Could watch you guys all day long, so really enjoyed this longer video. Thanks for your hard work in getting these out. xx
Just stumbled on your videos today. Watched 3 so far. Thanks for being real and sharing how you do things. This day in the life kinda video is extremely helpful. Please do more. You share the “how” you do things from your storing merchandise, shipping etc. very good. Keep them coming!
Love these videos!! Long time subscriber here and this reminds me of the videos from a few years ago which I loved and what got me into reselling...not that I don't love them now 😁
Love how Mose wants to be included when opening your packages!
Love this format! Haha I roll my pfre's across the label when I pre-stuff but your way makes more sense. Also doing 3 folds on the cardboard flat rate mailer really helps everything fit a little better, it's easy to find videos/demos but it's both bottom corners and then across the bottom.
Awesome love the long videos ,could watch y'all all day ,,guess what I got bumped up to 700 items on ebay I'm pumped ,thanks to y'all sharing your knowledge,,I started with 5 dollars and bought a pair of sketchers memory foam shoes at the goodwill sold them for 30 and here I am today selling 6 to 8 orders a day ,Thank y'all from Texas,,Y'all the best
I really really love your longer, ‘day in the life’ videos! 😊
I love these types of videos! Its what brought me to your channel originally. I like your other style of videos too, but having one of these every now and again is a great treat!
Also just bought something from your Ebay store. Ive been trying to find something you were selling that I needed and was able to find something! So happy to support you in a way that works for me.
more videos like this please! its so satisfying to watch you pick out the item and fit them into the right package
I love the OG style video, have been missing them. Thanks for all you do!
Wells Lamont makes a lot of leather cowhide work gloves. We see them often, I think because some of ourt Big Box Stores (CostCo, Home Depot??) stock them
Missed this kind of video, would love to see more this style.
Definitely enjoyed the video. Shows both the finds and the ships of the items. Would be neat to see a bit of what you do to clean and prep items that you buy.
Hmm, the file cabinet idea sounds good. I may try that in the future when I make room.
It definitely is strange growing up with someone who goes on trial for murder later in life. I too grew up with someone like that in my small town. Sad to hear these stories.
👍🏼 on that priority box manipulation. Thanks
Years ago I went around to various businesses and asked to raid their cardboard dumpsters...great way to cut down on costs. While priority boxes are free, their shipping cost is often high. Also, another great tip and one that has saved me thousands of dollars at this point...is go to your local furniture store and ask them to save the bubble wrap that their items come in. The bubble wrap is super high grade and snagging a piece that covered a sofa or loveseat will last you a super long time! And it's free!
i really enjoy your videos of your layed back country atmosphere doing bussiness, when you live in a big city like i do its very nice to see the country life i here the crows in the background here in the city all you here is fire engines and police cars hurrying to emergencys with sirens!!!! but i get use to it, i love it here in the heart of new yorks times sguare! i will keep enjoying your videos!!!! also your life partner has your back too she is a very supporting partner this helps very much with the success in the bussiness, ok make money god bless.
Love long videos and love “day in the life” videos. Good reminder of the little actions that keep a business going!
loved the length and content!!
Would love more videos like this! Really enjoy seeing all the behind the scenes work (especially the packaging part!) You guys are so entertaining to watch, thanks for the uploads!
The longer video the better. Love your channel.
LOVE videos like this! Especially you explaining how to finagle boxes to fit shoes in the shoe box! That's a GREAT hack!
You guys are such a nice and cute couple.
Really enjoyed the video... and Moose... Adorable!!
yes this is the kind we love...learning
Really like the longer videos :)
Yes please! Videos like this are oh so helpful. I appreciate you two so much!
Definitely enjoy the longer videos 😊
I didn't realize how much I missed this kind of videos. It feel like I'm m visiting an old friend. Keep them coming up, please. And welcome back.
It's nice to see different peoples set ups. I think the brand Walls is really similar to the brand carhartt
Keep these videos up. I love these kinds of long videos and thanks you for advice, guidance, and entertainment.
