Retired Tech is like everyone else working at 10x their capacity. What a legend.
Only one speed
I will happily listen to 2 or 3 hour podcasts. I would honestly prefer that over the shorter videos. I'm here for the information and to learn. As long as their is 2 to 3 hours worth of information in those videos, keep em coming! I will listen to every minute.
Appreciate that! I will mix in some longer ones
I'm new here but I absolutely LOVE how you balance an assertive, dominant presence with a compassionate, polite, kind hearted approach. At the markets, you are assertive and direct yet polite and building those vital connections. You are helping push me along in my new reselling journey and I'm eternally grateful!
Appreciate you checking out the videos I hope you are finding them valuable
@@technsports man, you have already made me SO much money! I'm teaching my 10 yr old how to run a small business and we listen to you every night and write down your bolos ❤️ This is insanely invaluable!
Man it’s fun watching Isiah working it out in his mind over the years and one day it’s just gonna click and this kids gonna be unstoppable. Man I wish I had his mindset 15 years ago. 😅
I agree on everything you said. Love talking to him
With time he will be amazing, his young mind is running fast looking at things from several different angles - that will slow and stream line the older he gets.
I would keep listening to the 2 hour podcasts, when its full of good stuff you dont even realize how long it is
I'll mix in some longer ones thank you Martina!
you should've seen how hyped i got when i saw this was almost 2 hours long. push 'em long bro. my favorite podcast that i listen to the most while i grind is usually around 4 hours long on average and they do 4 episodes per week. their viewership is huge because the average viewer makes their show part of their daily routine. you know that we as entrepreneurs would do the same with your content considering what our average daily workflow looks like. i think your audience is prime for that. have always wished you would do longer content, especially with guests whose output seems to grow and enrich as time goes on.
thanks for bringing Isaiah back on. super dope dude and def one of my favorite guests you have had. for your younger viewers it feels nice to have representation i can relate to (still figuring out how to scale and optimize to the highest potentials), while bouncing off the contrasting feedback from someone who is in the "mission complete" phase of the journey. that dynamic is sooo gas and truly feeds my mind. thanks for your efforts, Tech.
Appreciate this one so much! Thank you. I will mix some longer ones in! Isaiah is the best
I would listen to a 4 hour podcast
That's a mighty long time lol
Listing is more valuable than sourcing, because buyers won’t come knocking at your door asking to sell them stuff from your death pile 😂
Lol! Haven't knocked yet!
Love the longer podcasts. The banter and logic shared is priceless!!! Love it! Quote of the day, "You're not their daddy!" GOLDEN! (My vote is listing is better than sourcing. lol)
One vote for listing!
I’m a new reseller and have mentally struggled with the thought of shipping shoes in a poly bag. Thank you so much for convincing me it an okay thing to do. You guys are so helpful to the community.
Isaiah really struggled with that a lot. No impact on the business.
Yes! I listen to longer videos in the background, short videos are a pain to keep stopping and starting another video.
I hear you on that! lol
I ABSOLUTELY will watch! I usually am not here when you come on, but when I come for replay, I'm ready to learn for real!
Appreciate that Vab!
I would listen for all of it absolutely. I love having listening ones so I can learn while working. 1,2,4 hours...bring it.
Bring it! OK!
Yes Bring it, there is always a pause button if needed. I can listen while getting groceries, making dinner doing chores. So when I get to listing I am ready to go.
Yep. It is so cool, like having coworkers.
I would love having you on in the background while I'm working. The more you talk the longer/faster I list!
I'll mix in some longer ones. Thank you for checking out the podcast this week!
I will ABSOLUTELY watch the longer videos. The longer the better. I love putting an earbud on and listening to these talks while I do my work. Great stuff
Appreciate that Willy I'll mix in some longer ones so long as they provide value!
🔥🔥🔥great convo ! Wow. “Sourcing can be a liability for the business, listing can never be a liability for the business”. One comment to Isaiah’s argument: listing can be a liability if your getting higher veros, returns, defects 😬 - with respect master tech 😁
Listing and getting defects & veros is just down right foolish lol
I always enjoy your interactions with Isaiah. It is like a big brother and a younger brother.
I want Isaiah to win so bad!
Loooove the long format to listen to while I'm working! I could have listened to you and Isaiah for another hour easily. Thank you both for your time and knowledge!
Isaiah is the best, I enjoy talking to him. Thank you for checking out the podcast!
I love that he acknowledges that postal workers are part of the team!! SO vital! Connections, relationships, networking etc. is absolutely EVERY where, in every one! Hone it, own it and don't sleep on the connection piece!
Very important part of the business
"Butt in the chair" needs to be a t-shirt, poster, etc
Most important metric!
Ok last comment 😂 The last part of the podcast was so good. Great questions from Isaiah! Great answers from you 💯. If things don’t come to us, we don’t keep waiting or give up, we just gotta go get it. That really applies to anything with life. Early bird gets the worm. Sometimes that worm is 3-6 hours away. Also, the part about vendor person relationships. Great conversation about that. That just shows how disciplined you are about sticking to what is best for your business, pockets, and business metrics. You stick to your guns and do not waiver. You’re kind, but you don’t bend. You don’t negotiate. Taking the long route out with a cart full of stuff is brilliant 😂 and adding a huge smile and greeting sellers with prices too high on your way out 😂. The sellers always have to attract the buyers. Ain’t nothing selling if nobody is buying. That part about who has the power is spot on and great that you said that. But throughout your responses in this last part. I feel like the underlying message is you have to be disciplined and keep your eye on the prize and pick up stuff that meets your metrics and fits your pockets. Great video Tech and Isaiah! I learned a lot. 🙏💯👊
Appreciate your thoughts always Vivi!
Interviews like this…with resellers from different niches…4 hrs sure…whatever…I’m there. I list while I listen and note the gems ;)
I'll mix in some longer ones, thank you for checking out the video!
Great discussion today! I love longer form videos. It gives more time for ideas to be discussed out loud and worked through. Thank you.
Appreciate that. I agree. Good point. Thank you!
Absolutely awesome! I have to join your calls this week. I have been doing eBay 19 years but just selling my stuff. I am doing it full time now. This was so helpful to think through and now have an opportunity to understand how to build my knowledge base, source better and list more effectively. By the way, I don’t watch most of the reseller channel but listen like a podcast. I don’t listen to podcast. Only TH-cam. So I prefer long form. I just did my grocery shopping and put everything away while listening to you guys. I only made sure to look at the poly bags
Appreciate you checking out the podcast this week and I hope you enjoyed it
Long form! Please. 😁I’m here for every bit of information. Thanks again to you both. So thankful for this group and the value it has been to my life!
Appreciate that Melissa! I'll mix in some longer ones
I'm all for the longer form. I listen to your podcast while I'm driving to work or while I'm working the side hustle in the garage. I love hearing all the in-depth conversation and feel like I'm getting great information to set me up for going full time in a few years. Thanks for all that you do Tech!
Awesome, thank you Daniel. Keep fighting the good fight
I would definitely still watch the longer podcasts. I got A LOT of info from this one, as well as inspiration. Just joined the group, looking forward to learning everything!!
Appreciate that! Make an introduction post when you get in the group & I'll send you some helpful links
Ring back, Mel, I learned a lot from your conversation with her, trying to teach her where she needs to change and everything
Will definitely get Mel back on the line! She's the best!
I love the long videos because I am listening while I am working. It's a WIN - WIN
Win Win Win then!
Isaiah always gets the best out of Tech whenever they have a chance to get into a topic. Great discussion on both sides.
I agree. Isaiah is really great. Love talking to him
I will listen to the end no matter how long the conversation.
Thanks,
Monica
Appreciate that Monica! Hope you are finding value
Awesome conversation!! I enjoy the long form. Right now it’s 3 am in FL, my kids are asleep. Podcast is playing in the background. I’m learning so much from y’all while working. I don’t have to worry about switching videos and by the time y’all done I expect myself to do the same with the work lol it’s a win win 😅
What part of Florida?
@@technsports Recently moved from MDC (NMB) to Ft Myers, Lee County …. From city life to country life
I am really enjoying the longer videos!! I play them while I paint/edit! They are super informative and enjoyable. The longer the better! 👍
Sweet! Thank you Rebecca!
I live in KC and we have a bunch of thrifts. I am able to find more stuff than I can afford right now. Sometimes I get lucky and it is still there when I go back...sometimes on half price!!!
Work your way up to the point where you can afford it all!
I love your videos Tech ! Thanks to Isaiah for sharing his knowledge as well. 🙏🏼 watching your videos pushes me to do better everyday
Thanks so much Tere I hope you're doing well!
Really enjoy the longer podcast guys. This was a good one.I would actually agree with Isaiah on this one- I think sourcing is the most important part. If you have the knowledge and access to source low cost quality inventory you can always find resellers who will buy the inventory from you. I believe tech has mentioned previously that the people who source for hime make upwards of $250k/year just sourcing and selling to him. No ebay listing required. I think if you source quality stuff you can always wholesale to other resellers therefor bypassing ebay listing. Knowledge of brands, coupled with access to low cost quality inventory, is a greater skill than listing an item on ebay IMO. Again, excellent podcast guys!
Appreciate you checking out the podcast Laxer!
This is an excellent debate/ learning opportunity, yes, long video with this quality will be always appreciated and welcome!
Thank you Fatima! I'll mix some in!
Sourcing is easy, I source and find amazing stuff all the time, almost abundant. That's not the problem. The problem is the processing and the way i make more money is by tweaking the processing process. The more i can process and the faster the more I make. Processing is more important.
💸💸💸💸. Find whatever you want. Got to get it up!
@@technsports Exactly!
I would listen to you teach for hours! Longer the better, I listen while working 💗
Appreciate that lulu! Thank you
Get someone to do garage sales or fire sales for the lower priced items you cherry picked out of sourced items you do not list. Or, donate with receipts for business expense deduction. Do not just throw out or pile up in a corner creating stress and less space. Students will appreciate the money you give them for a Saturday or Sunday garage sale.
Lots of ways to make a profit
Its amazing hearing terms i learned in a business class from you in each video that just now drive it all home for me. What you learned on your own is textbook. Thank you for teaching us all.
Like what? People say this kind of thing often but I don't really know what they are referring to
@@technsports To name a few...Opportunity cost, barrier to entry, scale the business. I listen to you and it bring me back to my class. Never sell yourself short because you didn't attend college either...you are mastering business standards with the best of em.
Watch shark tank....The Sharks bring these terms up too!
Yes, I listen in the background as I work, so if there is more to discuss and you want to run a longer podcast, I would listen to the whole thing every time
Very cool I'll mix in some longer stuff
Hey man it's so cool to see you. I have missed you so much.
I'm here every week. Check out the other videos!
I love this! Ran an errand and came back and you're still here. Thanks.
Longer episodes?
@@technsports yes!
Great podcast. I’m a fan of the longer podcast. 4-5 hours would be great while working. I think listing is more important for me since it’s the job I dread the most. Sourcing is the most fun.
Appreciate that! I'll throw some longer ones in the mix!
@@technsportsappreciate you tech. If 4 hours is too much I’m just as happy listening to the shorter ones. 4 hours is a pretty long time! 😅
Definately! I'm binging myself on podcast everyday no matter how long it is. ! Listing everyday is my priorty second is the sourcing. I source twice a week and list daily. I buy pallet and bins too.
Team listing!
Thank you so much!! I learned a lot!! I’m a hoarder lol 2 storage units full 10x20 and I sell my good stuff on live shows for $4 hoping to make enough for my bills. I show 200 new used pieces 4 days a week and source 1 day a week. Usually 2-3 car loads. I believe I just have to list but it’s way too much. I’m going to make myself accountable except on sourcing day!!
Accountability, discipline is key
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with all of us. The knowledge you are sharing is saving us all from years of mistakes. It is highly appreciated!
Also, I would listen to two hour podcasts. I would also listen to three or four or five hour podcasts. I’ll take as much knowledge as you’re willing to give us.
Appreciate you checking out the podcast this week Michael. I'll try to mix in some longer ones and see how it goes!
@@technsports Sounds good to me man! Can’t wait!
LOVE this episode! Thank you!
Nice! Thank you for checking it out!
Will I watch longer content? With THIS channel YES! Your information and conversation is REAL!! You answer questions no matter what it is, and you also provide so much knowledge it’s insane!!! So why would I not watch longer content on this channel… is the real question.
Appreciate that! Thank you. I'm glad you are finding value in the videos. Mission accomplished
Long format is Great for me. I was engaged the whole way. Always good to get you two together for a convo.
Appreciate that my man!
Another great video, with tons of information, thank you both
Our pleasure. Isaiah is the best
I really appreciate these longer vids! Especially on my daily walks 🚶♂️
Get that walk in! Let's go!
I can listen to a conversation between you and Isaiah for a few hours. Thank you for the podcast, I got a lot of great tips and ideas that I will apply. Thank you both .
Isaiah is the best! Always love talking to him
Such a great show! Love how Tech let him speak his mind then told him he was wrong but showed him how to be better. Legendary! And to see Isiah's growth from the last podcast is amazing as well. These podcasts are SO motivating and great for my business! Thank you both!
Thank you for checking out the podcast this week. Not necessarily wrong just a better way to possibly do it
Fkn fired UP watching this, thank you guys so much!
Let's get it Brandon!
@@technsports Yessir!
1:40:31 my own moto "if its not listed it can't be sold" sourcing is only Half the battle
Same language
Yes bring ‘em back all things considered it’s great to get to know the crew🎉
Yes it'll be fun to watch the evolution. Thanks Patti!
I had to pause this video to laugh when you said respectful im going to tell you why you are DEAD WRONG because I was laughing so hard. I had to catch my breath and then waited with baited breath to hear what you had to say! lol
Lol. Sorry.
Make the content as long as possible we will always watch!
I will mix in some longer ones! Appreciate you for checking out the video this week
This episode had some many nuggets. Appreciate the both of you.
Thank you for checking it out!
I listen to most of your videos as podcasts while I work anyway, so this was awesome!
Appreciate that! Thank you
I like the longer. This episode was a mix on online selling 101 and PHD level. To me it looks like Isiah has gained knowledge and confidence since his first interview! The journey can feel too long at times. Step by step to progress!
Appreciate that Jason I will mix in some longer ones!
Keep talking, I love the info
Thank you for checking out the podcast this week!
I had no idea Isaiah was from Mississippi. Hello from a fellow Mississippian 😊 Loved this interview Tech & Isaiah ~ Gypsythriftss ~
Yes Isaiah is from Mississippi!
Longer. Longer, because is the only way to let an idea develop. Some guest need time to warm up. Then the real gold starts to come out.
Thank you both. Great podcast.
Appreciate that! We will work in some longer ones
LOVED this convo!
Appreciate that Laurie!
I will have you playing all day everyday if your podcasts is all day long! Excellent information every time!!
Appreciate that! I hope the videos are helpful
As long as the conversation is good, long is good. I'm sticking around for all of this one.
Appreciate that! Thank you
Yes to longer form! Great to put on while taking photos
I'll mix some longer ones in! Thank you. Get those photos up!
I really enjoyed this banter. It's nostalgic. From way back in the day from the burn house source.
It may never change lol
Ok! Over halfway comment now lol. So good! Definitely hit a sweet spot in the conversation and it got exciting 😂. You let Isaiah speak his piece and even paused a little to see if he’s finished or not then you said “I’m respectfully going to tell you that you’re wrong” 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Got both me and Isaiah worked up hahahahah. I’m really enjoying this podcast with you both. 😂
Hahahaha Isaiah is like a little brother after all this time. He never gets mad when he's wrong either which is ALWAYS lol
😂😂😂😂 I felt that vibe between you both! Big brother little brother! 💯
40 person staff is a large Goodwill store.
Lots of moving parts right there
55:25 100% tech! you will just do more work because those items might not move as QUICK so you will need more items then someone that only sources high sell through rate items and there is nothing wrong with that model either Low sell through but HIGH volume more work. I'm a true 100% believer in the fact the More you list the more you will sell its the law of averages and like you said they don't have to be the BEST items but having better items helps the item sell more quickly you have stated a few times and i agree with you 100% EVERY item has a price point at which it will sell (meaning a price at which it will sell NO matter if it is a low STR or a High STR rate item) its just finding that price point that is sometimes tricky this is why Keeping Margins as close to 0 as possible (so you can drop prices and still make profit) is so important when it comes to buying inventory
Appreciate that Benny!
Yes will listen to longer podcasts. Listen and list!
Thank you Crystal!
ooooooh yeah! I've often thought of Zooming with another reseller to stay motivated. But a long podcast would definitely do it!
Thank you both for the clarification its ok to buy lower profit items which are easy to get if you are listing them-in the meantime increasing brand knowledge so I can get the higher profit items when I see them. Love the 2 hour podcasts.
Got to do the best you can today until you can do better
Tech has been drilling this into Isaiah's head for three years but he never gives up on him. Isaiah's head is made of granite 😅😅
He's come a very long way lol. And I have the patience to help him the rest of the way
He's so young still! Most his age are not running a business, that's for sure. Proud of you buddy!
Awsome video bro!
Thanks my man!
Great video! Thank you! 😊
Thank you Cindy hope all is well!
@@technsports thank you! 😊
Awesome Great informations 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ thank you Boss
Appreciate you checking out the podcast!
We will definitely watch the longer videos. This video was awesome.
Okay I will give it a go!
Great shoe thanks
Appreciate you checking out the video Tim!
Tech I do that too I fell my bag and walk by the people that wouldn't make a deal with me and then they almost chase me down the next week for my money! lol
Only way!
Thank you Tech and @Isaiah_tmn another great episode with lots to take in. I would definitely watch longer episodes. So much value.
I post my shoes in Shoe boxes mainly. Have only sent flip flops or Birkenstock beach Sandals in polymailers. Sending Gucci, Chanel and Prada in Polymailers when a buyer has special £250 is not a good look for me. I also cross list and some of other platforms say you need to send items in boxes, and if stuff gets damaged in transit they won't refund you. The post office and other couriers are brutal throwing stuff on the floor, on conveyor belts etc.
Loved the example of how to get the vendor at the flea market to reduce her price 😂😂😂
Least resistance all the way. What if you were to buy one item for the week that would save you listing for the whole week because of the profit margin?
Great take aways, appreciate you dropping a comment.
22:30 - pure gold! Love you guys ❤😊
Appreciate you checking out the video!!
Awesome video 👏So many nuggets. And yes longer videos like this for sure would be great.
Okay I will add some longer ones to the mix!
Love the longer content. Makes me list faster with it in the background !
Really? Okay then it must be done lol
Definitely listing because if you list mid items with the best keywords as fast as possible you’re making sales.
Team list!
30:36 100% tech to them (I'm included in that group) its a value, its worth its weight in gold. someone pointed out on someone else YT video in the comments its not always about Monetary value that some value there time with there family over making more money
Yes we definitely discuss this here and have in the past. Opportunity cost can be taking your kids to school.
I really Enjoyed This podcast it was really good. For me it all depends how the conversation flows and the Subject. So there is no right or wrong.
Yes if it's a good talk it can be long, if it ain't, then no lol
I would watch. I learn Something from every episode..💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Appreciate that mark! Thank you
Long Video or Short. I’m always finishing the video with new knowledge. Thank you
Appreciate that so much! Hope you like them
It’s the education piece that is the basis for everything, but it is the active learning that propels.
Well said!
I'll watch as long as it goes!
Appreciate that Jeff!
I don't sell shoes anymore as a priority. I do sell random shoes that we get in lots if they are nice shoes. What I do now is I cut slabs of old cardboard boxes and I wrap the shoes with a sheet of cardboard like 12"x20" for example and then tape my cardboard shoe burrito then set it into my poly envelope and ship it out now. I have a small pile of precut cardboard slabs next to my shipping supplies in case I get a random shoe order. Saves me from having to get boxes now which saves me a lot of money. And my packages are super tough, and you can throw them without injuring my items.
Interesting way to do it. So long as it works that's all that matters. Thank you for checking out the podcast!
Great convo .. but the student is trying to convince the teacher on how a biz should be run and we all know it it ends! I'm sure Isaiah will do well but it's going to be a long road!
Isaiah has come a very long way in the last 3 years or so. He has a bright future. He will get it figured out.
I am almost half way through your podcast with Isaiah and I have to mention that this podcast is very easy to listen to and focus on because both you and Isaiah respect each other’s speaking time and let eachother speak fully. I am just as absorbed as Isaiah when listening to your response to his questions 😂 like they are my questions but I’m not over here selling 100k/year. Just 1k/month 😂. But we learning! Isaiah has a gift for speaking what’s on his mind clearly and can communicate very well while he’s in his thought process. So impressive. I’ll comment more after I’ve watched your whole video! 😂
I agree. Isaiah is very gifted with speaking and his thoughts. He will make it I'm sure of it. Congrats on the $1k! We all started there. Onwards and upwards for you Vivi!
Yay 🎉 Thank you Tech! Loving my 1k/month milestone! 🎉
I love Isaiah!! ❤ I could listen to both of you talk for hours and I know both of you can do it. 😊 Another great video. Sad when it was over and I also loved the table leg story too. Tech: I’m the hottest guy at the flea market 😂
👀👀👀👀
Love the long podcast !
I'll mix some in!
