The rapid growth of eBay from 1995 on made many people rich; even so there are still an estimated 9 million garage sales in America every year, totaling roughly 2 billion dollars in unreported and untaxed income.
Happy New Years and Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Aaron LaPedis. Aaron is known as the "Garage Sale Millionaire", because he literally financed his first business with nothing but savvy bargaining and deal hunting. He's here to share the ways you can horn in on this tax-free game, and how you can make the most doing it. It also helps to when you find yourself needing to declutter the living space, and the extra cash is a bonus. Sorry for the echo at the beginning of the interview and the internet connection issues throughout, my guest has a set up for giving recorded talks and not interviews, but I straightened the audio out as much as possible. Also, just lastly, A huge thanks to everyone down in Sacramento who made it possible to get on stage with Steve Byrne, on of my all time favorite comics.

Let's sell our junk to get rich!
I'm probably the worst type of collector, because I either save my favorite things and keep them safe, or give them away to people who i know will love them. So I never make money on my collections.
In other news... 2025 has begun, and here's some all new ranking for a new year:
1. England of the United Kingdom, working with Scotland to make a big statement. 2. The United States, with New York, California, and Texas out front. 3. Canada, with Ontario at a small lead. 4. Australia, with Queensland dominating the others so far. 5. Ireland, dethroning Ghana.
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for another new episode!

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
