    TLDR: Matt's 1-on-1's are great, get on it!
    Hey mate
    As challenged by you, last week and continuing into this week had me list over $300 per day (up to $360). It was a challenge to finding stock without having my car and I picked up an acting gig which were 3 9 hour days last week - but like we said, the listing is a non-negotiable so there were some late nights.
    I took another 100 listings (roughly) out of my store during the week of shit buys (still a work in progress). Also adjusted some titles and prices but also still a work in progress. The really interesting thing with this was (and I don't recall you touching on it) when you remove a lot of the lower-end stock like $7 DVDs and you hear your phone go cha-ching - There is a mindset shift as well because the cha-ching is likely to be a $30+ sale rather than opening your phone and seeing a disheartening $7 sale. All of a sudden when your phone goes off you know you have had a real win and for me, it helped me keep going when I was exhausted.
    Thanks again for the great content during the week - FYI Tribute by Tenacious D is my goto Karaoke song, glad it was the Baggers and not Freo that got through to the finals but it was a bloody tense Sunday and a big Happy Birthday to you for the other day.
    If anyone is tossing up whether to give a 1-on-1 session a crack, I highly recommend it. I have had 2 and the insights, clarity, honesty and answers to a ton of questions were worth the weight in gold so don't hesitate, jump on it!
    Looking forward to revising the changes with you in mid-September.

    I'm a part time reseller as I have an 8-5 job. I started in October 2023. My first LEGO sale was a LEGO Bionicle 8734 set that I bought for $10 at a garage sale. Funny story cuz when I was at the sale I comped it out as used because I couldn't tell if it was sealed or not so I figured it would sell for about $150. It was indeed sealed and ended up selling for $475 plus shipping in only 8 days. And not even my biggest flip to date.

    Hey dude, so whats the go with GST after say you sell on ebay for a month and you make $2000? How much tax would you pay on that and is it worth selling? Does the tax eat up much of the profit?

    • @TheAussieFlipper
      @TheAussieFlipper  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      GST is paid after you hit $75,000 per year in revenue in Australia. You pay income tax on your profits so capturing all your sales figures and expenses in a spreadsheet is important come tax time.
