Following Part 1 (buying), this episode breaks down the sell-side of my first year—$98K on eBay—and the exact lessons that moved the needle: how to seed early feedback, how to structure PWE vs. bubble mailer shipping (and when to use non-machinable stamps), the true cost of fees & promoted listings, and a negotiation framework so you stop caving under pressure. We also cover budgets to avoid forced sales, when wax/singles make sense (rarely), and why multi-market selling unlocks faster exits.
You’ll learn
- A clean new-store launch checklist (so the algorithm finds you)
- Shipping by value: PWE under ~$20; bubble + guards over ~$20
- Fee math and when your target price needs ~20% headroom
- Boundaries & focus to raise ASP and reduce time drain
- A negotiation template (anchor, comps, “happy number,” walk-away)
- Budgeting to keep control of timing (no panic auctions)
- Wax vs. singles: patience, demand windows, and why most plays underperform
- Prospecting as a portfolio + buy/sell journaling
- Which marketplace fits which card (and why)
Key Takeaways
- Feedback first → visibility → sales velocity
- Right shipping method = higher margins + fewer headaches
- Model fees before listing; price to a happy number and stick to it
- Budgets protect you from selling at the wrong time
- Sell where the buyer already is (channel-card fit)

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
