(00:08):
Hold on, I have to. Get this situated.
What is this? Come on.
OK. I haven't done this in a long
time even though I've been live on the other ones so.
(00:29):
I don't know what all those buttons are for, but whatever.
What I need what I need, this little book right here.
I'm Oh my kid, this one. Supposed to go to the store for
me and he hasn't done a story yet for me.
(00:50):
My shoes up here. Need another brand new but.
They are bad luck. It's an Irish thing.
Put them right there. I'm going to tell my story.
Of. How and what and.
Where, what, who, what, where? When and why is what I did to
make a 5 to 6000 a month income as a stay at home mom after I
(01:14):
had my third son and. What I did was I.
Sold on eBay and so eBay has been my.
Like my baby, like my baby platform.
It's been, you know, one that I,I've used a lot.
Some some years and some some years.
I've taken a little break, but I.
Always come back to it. It's like.
(01:36):
A relationship that's stable in my life is eBay.
So what I did with eBay is I. I needed, we needed extra
income, you know, after my thirdson was home and I didn't want
to put him in daycare and I didn't want to.
I just, I just wasn't one of those moms that.
Did the daycare thing until I got a little bit older.
So I basically brainstormed and I'm like, you know what, I'm
(02:00):
going to start selling some stuff on eBay and I didn't know
what to sell. I didn't know where to start.
I didn't know anyone that's really doing it besides my my
mother-in-law that rest in peacehas passed away.
And she's kind of the one that held my hand and got me into it.
Miss Sylvia. And she introduced me to the
(02:21):
vintage world of vintage clothing and vintage jewelry,
costume jewelry and all that good stuff.
And what had happened from that point is she gave me.
She does estate. Sales and really high end ones.
And she gave me a bunch of vintage clothes one day, like a
bunch of garbage bags of them. And I went through them and I
(02:42):
didn't know what I was looking at.
I didn't know like what exactly vintage clothing, like where
they were, they stunk and they're motivated.
Like I didn't understand. This is before I got into
thrifting and stuff. So I went.
Through them and I found the smallest.
Items that I could use to easilypost pictures and.
Post them online to sell. And and it turned out to be the
(03:02):
most successful. Thing that I did starting out
from learning eBay and that was.Vintage used underwear is
basically what I did. They're called bloomers, like
vintage bloomers. They were these white little,
almost like boxer size like this.
Like. Yeah, like boxer short size with
(03:24):
puppy ruffles. On them, and I mean, some are
silky, some are, you know, polyesters, some are not.
They were all like a beige coloror white color or.
Once in a while I got a black. Color or dark?
Tan color. But those?
Things. I post, they look.
Brand new, I mean, you couldn't tell they were used and so those
things went like longer I mean people internationally started
(03:47):
buying them from me left, right and I was so.
Like at first I was like, there's.
You know I'm. Not going to be able to make
money off of this. I'm not going to do this.
You know I this. Isn't going to work Negative,
negative, negative. But it.
Wasn't it? Wasn't that at all.
I had immediate success and I just kept getting more and more
successful at it and became a power seller very quickly
(04:10):
because I learned techniques andI learned to master eBay like
literally have mastered. The system.
The algorithms. How to post, what to post, how
to post it, where to post it, what pricing you post it, the
template to post it I mean. What time to?
Post. It I mean everything you can
think of, I have spent years, I'm talking like over 10 years
(04:32):
mastering eBay and the only thing you know that they have
changed over time is a little. Bit of the.
Technology with AI and all that good.
Stuff but there. Is a system that if you follow
and if you do pay attention to small details, you can make eBay
a side. Hustle.
That you make money while you sleep.
(04:52):
You know, while you sleep. You need that income while you
sleep. And that's what it exactly did
to me. I would wake up in the morning
and I would have sales. And.
I would. That's it's better right here.
And I would. Had made money.
While. I was sleeping so but what I did
was the. Bloomer bloomers.
(05:13):
It feels so weird saying bloomers.
But. The bloomers were the
inspiration that kept me going to keep, you know, you know,
when you're selling stuff, you know, and people are buying it,
you're like, Oh my gosh, like the, you get that, you know,
adrenaline going. And then if you don't have
anything selling, it's kind of a, you feel kind of like in the
dumps. But I didn't have that feeling
(05:34):
at all with this and hold on. I'm trying to figure out this.
Here thing real quick, so you can say I'm on there.
I don't know if it is right. Yeah.
All right, I'm doing. Sorry.
All right, so anyway, sorry, so I just kept.
(06:01):
Doing it and I. Started going to other things,
vintage clothing. It's more like the women's stuff
I would do. What the heck is my other phone?
Sorry, bear with me. It feels so weird saying
bloomers. All right, it was working.
Just checking, just checking. So make sure just checking.
(06:27):
Because I haven't done this in forever other I don't know what
the stone message. Isn't so far.
So anyway, I I was pulling in aneasy. 5 to 6000 a month from
(06:48):
just selling used underwear on eBay as a stay at home mom of.
Three boys and a newborn and, you know, living in an
apartment, you know, just a whole, you know, shenanigans of.
Of. Chaos going on in my life and.
I was able to have the flexibility.
To take care of my. Kids do what I got to do.
(07:10):
And still bring in money to make.
All the bills. You know.
All the bills paid. Finally have that ethic right
now, but I wanted I'm going to be teaching a class on Mondays
around 8:00 or at 8:00. It's $27.00 for an hour.
And so it might, might go over an hour, but it's going to be a
virtual online class and you know, spots are limited per
(07:35):
class. But I'm going to teach you
exactly what I did, how I did it, and what I do to
continuously keep. EBay, you know, revenue coming
in. And it's not just for eBay.
Either you could do Shopify. You could take what I'm teaching
you and use it anywhere. You can use it on any selling
platform possible. You can use it on.
TikTok shop. You can use it on marketplace.
(07:56):
You can use it in. Person, you can use it in paper,
like what I'm going to teach youdoesn't just oblige to eBay.
It is a system. It's certainly a system.
It's just technique. It's sales technique that I have
mastered utilizing utilizing ebay's platform because that's
what I started out using. So and once you get the hang of
(08:19):
it and you understand the legits.
Of. What I'm explaining to you on
what I did and you'll start to get that, Oh my gosh, I didn't
even think of that. It's like those type of
techniques that I learned through mastering eBay.
And so I'm telling you, if I cansell 5 to $6000 a month.
With used underwear I'm. Pretty.
Sure, you'll be able to sell. Anything online and it like I.
(08:43):
Said you can use Shopify. I'm I'm not like a huge Shopify
fan. I use it but it's just a lot of
it's. I mean, you need a whole day to.
Do set up your Shopify. Account every day that's not
just a one hour type of. Dizzy right there.
Shopify is no joke. So whatever platform you sell,
Pinterest, anything like that, you can take what I'm going to
(09:03):
be teaching on Mondays at 8:00 and use those techniques on any
of those. Platforms.
Because it is. It's not just eBay, you know,
patented. Type of stuff.
But what? One of the things that they
recommend to when you do any selling online.
Is when you if you have to pick a.
Niche, A niche, niche, whatever,however you pronounce it.
(09:24):
And I don't like to be in that category.
I don't like to do niches. Niches and I never have because
I don't really have one. I'm I'm a diverse person, so I
don't put myself in one category.
And that's fine. You don't have to.
But what you do have to do then is master what Nietzsche's is
Nietzsche's or niches I don't. Know Nietzsche's?
(09:46):
I put you in the English language is you.
You have to master whatever reaches you are putting out
there, though you can do a million of them, but make sure
you master them. You know the insurance and outs
who, what, where, when and why'sso that you don't look like fool
or mislead people with other information.
That's not, you know, the correct information that they
need for success. Because everything we that I
(10:07):
want to teach and do and say andand show everybody is to.
Set you up for success. As it has.
Been for me. So I was saying that some of the
things that though I started outlike I said, I started selling
used bloomers. You know, vintage.
Bloomers as my first thing that I sold with eBay, and then I
went into vintage clothing and then I went into costume
(10:31):
jewelry, costume designer jewelry, and then I went into
little trinkets. So antiques.
Dolls. Little toys.
I went into items that were small because I didn't want to
ship anything big. I was lazy about that.
I still am. I don't like to ship a lot.
I like to use the 5 by 7 padded vanilla envelope suckers that
(10:54):
you can get at the Dollar Tree. A three pack for $1.25 and I use
that and if it can't fit in thatpackage then I'm not.
Going to sell it because that's just my method.
I kept a very organized system. You got to have You got to have
like an eBay research day. You got to I'm using eBay just
as my platform. You can, you can substitute that
(11:16):
with anything. You got to have a shipping day.
You got to have a customer service responded messages day.
You got to have a. Like inventory day, you have to
have a go. Shopping for more?
Shit day. I mean, there's a lot of stuff
that you still have to organize for yourself to set yourself up
for success when you go to sell.Items online, and that's not
(11:38):
just for products either talkingeven marketing services or any
sort of, you know, services contractors in any industry.
You have to have a system and you have to have an organized.
Otherwise it's you're setting yourself up for failure.
So I didn't say anything about time management because I am
horrible at time management. I don't even know I'm late.
(12:00):
I'll be late to my own funeral type of chick.
So I don't even get me started on that.
But I can't organize my shit, soI can't do that.
So what I did was is when you first start selling on eBay as a
seller, you have like. You went to a yard sale and you
got all this shit. You're like, Oh my gosh, I got
all this shit for 1/4. I'm going to sell all this shit
(12:21):
on eBay. People are going to buy it.
They're going to love it. It's like signed, it's this and
that. And you get home and you're all
excited. You're pumped up, you're ready
to go sell, and that's fine. It's.
Great little fire to have. In your in your system but.
One thing that it will do, it will take you down this rabbit
hole of wasted time because you will spend hours, days, whatever
(12:44):
researching everything that you bought and researching the fuck
out of it too to see. What the value?
Is. You know how much it's?
Worth how much you can. Get out of it.
What's this? What's this color?
Is it really real? Is it often you will drive
yourself insane, you know, chasing this?
What is this item? It's like a it's like a little
like selling online high in a way.
You're just excited. You want to see how much this
(13:05):
little book you know is worth like, Oh my gosh.
And then that thing leads to another thing and another thing
that and all of a sudden you're not getting shit done because
you're just sitting there looking up your shit instead of
posting your shit and making shit.
So what happens is. I mean don't get me wrong, I
victim. Of that I did that for.
I researched my stuff. For months, I mean, like I
(13:26):
wasted probably a whole weeks, weeks just researching what I
had because I had so much shit. I started accumulating so much
stuff at consignment stores thatthrift stores that hand me
downs, anywhere that I could getmy hands on some vintage and
antique stuff. So I went over to the like.
(13:46):
Flea markets too, Flea markets, I went there a lot, but then I
started gathering all this stuffand then I would have this pile.
And it's that's where I went wrong because it started kind of
borderline hoarder. Ish ish and it wasn't stuff that
I was going to keep. Personally, but it was.
Like a stockpile that I was packing, but it was a little out
of control, I admit. It so I.
(14:07):
Would. Spend hours and hours and hours
like up all night researching everything and.
Then it was it was like. Addicted.
Like I got so addicted to looking up stuff and learning
the history of everything that Iforgot and to kind of side
sideline my. Like priority of posting.
So I had to come up with some sort of routine or something to
(14:28):
get that under control. So I designated like Mondays
would be my research day and I would spend Mondays researching
all my stuff. And then whatever I didn't get
done on Monday, boom, like. Whatever I'll save.
It for next Monday. Tuesday would be my listing day.
Where I would list. All my stuff that I would sell
online and then there, you know,Wednesday would be shipping.
(14:49):
I would ship out items that soldthat week.
You know I. Gave a 3/3.
Yeah, three day window of when an item sold and the money went
into my PayPal account, I gave me gave myself three business
days allowable to ship an item. So it gave me a little bit of
wiggle room in case I had an emergency or something happened
or I forgot and those things happened.
(15:09):
So from that point the shipping day and then you can also set up
your shipping to. Where if you don't have a
vehicle. You don't have transportation or
anything like that you can have.Your items picked up right from
your front door. USPS you can schedule it.
Online, they will pick it up thenext day anytime you want.
So not having transportation is not an issue in this industry,
(15:31):
in this world. It's selling online because you
don't have to even leave your house.
I mean, you can go around and get.
Shit out of your walls. And out of your cupboards and.
Sell that if you want, and you could sell.
I'll teach you how to. Sell anything you could sell
shit. Out of your dog's ass.
If you want it to somebody. The way I teach how to sell.
So it's it's a. System that is like an honest
(15:54):
system. It's no car salesy sleaziness.
No, no pun intended. It's just a like the psychology.
And the and the. Like psychology?
Behind. You know your way.
Of communicating an item to another individual to get them
to purchase it and it doesn't matter what it is.
SO, and I could stand behind that 1000%.
(16:16):
So take what I've done over over10 years of mastering eBay and
learn from me and make some money because you're sitting on
a gold mine. If you've got ship laying around
in your house and you're not using it and it's just
collecting dust and you can sellit online.
So there's so much, you know, insurance and outs that I want
(16:37):
to teach. That's why I'm going to be
hosting a class on Mondays and. You can register on the website
at the vaginas.com. I think the link is below or up
or somewhere but. It's I think starting next
Monday, but another I want to give out a few tips though,
about if you're not sure what tosell, if you're not sure what to
sell on eBay, once again, you have to pick your.
(17:00):
Niche of size too. Do you like selling stuff?
That's large. Do you like?
Shipping you like shipping and receiving if you.
Love shipping and receiving, wrapping Christmas presents, all
that good stuff. Then you.
Could probably sell anything, you know, if you are like me and
you don't like to do shipping and receiving, you don't like to
have large boxes all the laying around and like tape this to
(17:21):
that. Then you have the 5 by 7
envelopes, padded envelopes thatthen kind of gives you a little
bit of guidance of where to start if you're going to pick
something to sell so that you know the size and so you can
look around at your house and belike, well, this remote, you
know, will fit into that envelope.
I'm going to start selling this remote so.
(17:43):
I mean, that's. Just an an example so you can go
around either. I recommend going around your
house. And taking anything that you
haven't used, touched, dusted ormoved in six to six months to a
year. And sell it.
And I mean, unless it's some family heirloom or something
like that. Obviously you don't sell it, I
mean. Whatever.
I mean, I have somebody's dead mother, you know, in urn in my
(18:05):
kitchen, and I don't even know her last name.
So there's like crazy. Stuff.
I mean, I'm not getting rid of her.
Kim and I are kind of, you know,bonded.
Anyway. Hi, Kim.
So if you if you don't have items.
Readily available. And or if you don't have a.
Budget to go. Buy things.
I'm telling you, you don't need to spend a lot of money to
(18:26):
resell items. Everybody goes to a yard sale
and smile or thrift store or Goodwill or anywhere.
And you can find simple things in there, dishes, pots and pans
and silverware, anything like that.
And and resell you can sell on on Amazon.
You can open up a store. With them too you can open up a
store basically anywhere now youjust have to like choose what.
Platform you're comfortable with, it may be one that you.
(18:49):
Have like a little bit of history with.
Or one that you already familiarwith their system.
EBay is mine obviously, so my. I got power seller status
pretty. Fast I've lost it too a few
times I had to get it back and you know, it's a bunch of
bullshit from eBay. There's I will get into that
too. There is I mean any platform
their their rules and stuff are are not really in favor to the
(19:11):
seller. They're usually in favor.
To the buyer. And it's a bunch of bullshit.
It really isn't. So there's been a few bumps in
the road with them, but I still stick by the eBay platform
1000%. So another good idea to look up
things. And I know there's been this
obsession lately on Tiktok with everybody looking at currency
(19:34):
and coins. People do not believe everything
you hear on Tiktok. Oh my God.
Like, I know like handful of people, adults that should know
better that are coming up to me and saying, Oh my gosh, Debbie
did. You.
See, like this alien that has purple heads and all this stuff
landed on, you know, in Texas and it's on TikTok.
It's real. And so it's like, oh, oh.
(19:56):
My gosh, no, it's not real. OK, so there's.
A lot of coin people on TikTok too that show all these coins
and you know, Oh my gosh, if youhave this 1972 quarter, it's
worth $3.7 million, you better find it now and you better get
it graded and you better. Sell it, bitch.
Because you're going, you're a millionaire.
(20:17):
It's not true. It's not true.
There's so much detail. And if you are a coin collector
and currency and notes, then youhave a very distinct eye for
what you're looking for. The errors and all that good
stuff. The star notes, the blue notes,
red notes, you know. All that good stuff.
If you don't have any experiencein any coins and you want to get
(20:40):
into it and you want to sell it on eBay, which eBay is the
number one coin currency sellingplatform out there and that's
where it's trusted. They just started doing like
live options too on there, whichis pretty cool.
I want to get in on that. So if you.
Just got this, you know. Kick up your butt then.
You want to sell coins, which isnot a bad idea.
(21:01):
Pick a currency. Pick a quarter, pick.
Morgan and Silver Dollars. Pick the Liberty.
You know, pick the second Julia.Pick the Buffalo nickels.
Pick the wheat pennies. Pick one of those.
Because if you go. And try to sell all different
kinds of coins and stuff. You're not really going to be
mastering the the coin, you knowwhat I mean?
(21:24):
You have to. Like really get.
Experience with the coin know what what the errors are where
the A and the UA and the M are in the space what they're it's
double stand it's you know there's a lot to know and you.
Can depreciate the value of a. Coin trying to sell it to a
collector by not knowing that stuff too.
So if you don't know any of thatstuff and you just try to wing
(21:46):
it and sell it, you may get lucky, you know, you might get
some bites, but you may also, you know, get made fun of or you
may just get, you know, blocked or you know what, whatever and
powder. So there's, but there is.
Money to make in there and when I said that you can go down the
rabbit hole of researching stuff.
(22:07):
This. Department is one that you can
go down the route the whole big time and just spend hours and
hours researching it and make sure you got those little like
Jewelers loop bifocal things with the little lights on them.
Because if you're at my age where our vision is going a
little little, you know, I refuse to do this with my phone
(22:29):
but or change my font size, but looking at these things
sometimes. Is little little.
Stress on the eyeballs. But yeah, I had AI, got a 19.
I don't forget what year it was,but out of my change that I got
from grocery shopping one year Igot a three legged Buffalo
nickel and I was blown away. Like out of all the places I got
(22:53):
it, I just happened to be looking at my change that week
and I looking in my pocket and Oh my gosh.
I have that three legged Buffalo.
Well, if I would have. Taken that three legged Buffalo
nickel and got it graded with NGCS.
Or whatever it is. And did that process, that
nickel could have been probably around $30,000 that I could have
sold it. Well, guess how much I sold it
(23:15):
for. I sold it for $500 and I was
happy with that. That was $500 more than I had
the day before and that was $500more than.
Then. The value of the actual nickel.
So I was happy with that. But everybody.
Around me was like, Oh my. Gosh, I can't believe he was
sold. It's like I don't give a shit.
(23:35):
Because I'm not holding on to stuff to like hoard it.
I'm holding on stuff to flip it,sell it and get some more money
in my pocket. And if I got $500, that's like a
million times, you know, over myROI, my return on investment of
my profit. My overhead is like was nothing.
It was basically a free thing and I made 500 bucks off of it,
so I was happy with that. It's like the ones that hold on
(23:58):
to these coins and you know, fora a rainy day, it's like you're
not going to get anywhere with that.
If you want to sell coins and get into it, go get them graded.
Take the time to get them graded.
It costs money to get them graded.
It's going to take like 6 to 8 weeks somewhere around there to
get them. There's a process you got to do.
And my foot is falling asleep. Oh my God.
Yeah. But.
(24:18):
There's a process. You got to do.
And you got to join the membership, you know, it costs,
I don't know how much it is a couple 100 bucks from the guy
to. Get it graded, but it's worth it
if. You've got a coin that's rare
and. It's a highly, you know, sought
out coin that collectors go after.
You could. Be a millionaire, but if you're
just doing it for shits and giggles already have one that's
(24:39):
graded in the plastic case like Morgan's.
I know the Carson City's. Stuff like that though. 1921 or
somewhere on there. I used to be a non licensed
auctioneer on national television with my baby daddy
number. Two, he was an auctioneer,
licensed auctioneer and. We would Co host a show.
And it was on national television and it was auctioning
(25:00):
off items. It was like an eBay that we
online and we did everything from coins, jewelry, gemstones
and real estate. So that's where a lot of my
experience came from as well, selling and doing auctions and
all that good stuff and having an eye for all that good stuff.
It was a good gig. It was just that.
That that company was like not ran very.
(25:23):
Property. I don't want to get into that
but. It was a good.
Experience and I got my mug on TV for four years so I was happy
with that. Actually, it's more like my
hands. All I did was show things like
and talk, but it was a. You know, a lot of things I
learned on there not to do and how to do and the experience.
(25:43):
So that led. Me, you know, to the eBay world.
So on top of that, another thingto pay attention to if you have
around your house is items that are in the news.
And what I mean by that, and I don't mean to be insensitive.
About this at all but in. Celebrities that have recently.
Passed away or some peace or anypoliticians, you know,
(26:05):
especially like Trump and all that going on.
They're trending, they're viral.You know those are trending.
People, for instance, like Whitney Houston when she passed
away. If you have a signed autograph
for Whitney Houston, that bitch is worth.
Celebrities. Are worth and sign as sports
players especially are worth more money when they're dead
than when they're alive. So I mean the Babe roots, the
(26:26):
Mickey Mantels do that, you know, all that good stuff.
Is very valuable. If it's signed with certificate
of authenticity, if you you knowthose are a must on those things
like you can get away with some excuse me, some items not having
a COA on it, but signed art jewel diamonds and especially
(26:48):
sports items that have autographs any with singers,
celebrities. Or sports people, you definitely
want a certificate of authenticity to prove that
you're not getting scammed, you know, or because there, I mean,
there's people that can sign thesignatures of those players and
celebrities so good that you know.
It's hard to tell. You know you need a
(27:09):
professional. To tell you if it's even fake.
So be careful with that world too, because.
I mean, I sold an Elvis Presley signed.
Like lithograph like. Painting or picture or something
like that and I not sure I didn't get.
It I didn't get a. Certificate of authenticity on
it. Because I just was like, I'm
going. To let people know in my post.
(27:31):
I was real about it. I told everybody.
Look, I'm not sure if this is real or not.
I didn't. I don't have ACOA on it and.
So I. Mean it's still sold for a
couple 100 bucks and I didn't care.
It was free, so it was somethingthat.
I didn't have to pay. For or anything like that.
So it's OK, I'm going to send itto my group plan.
(28:08):
There is that shit. Oh wait,
I forgot to do that. Yeah, my bad, I forget some not
(28:35):
to do. It it's like I do podcasting.
2/2 shows with. That and I got a lot going on.
I have a Generation Z kid. That was supposed to run into
the store for me and still hasn't passed out 'cause he
games all night. But anyway.
So anything that you hear in thenews you know is good.
Like so I have AI went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert for like
(28:58):
10 years, 12 years ago and they did their 30th year tour and you
know, sweet home Alabama. I think that's not my song.
I know well then I I had front row seats to that concert and
then. The girl that I was with, we
also got asked if we wanted to go backstage.
For a photo and meet the band and we got guitar.
Chips and so. I have a picture of us.
(29:20):
Sitting. In the middle of Lynyrd Skynyrd
and all the band members before,like most of them.
Passed. I think like half of them passed
away already so. I I could use utilize that photo
with a guitar chip. And frame it in a nice frame and
sell it on eBay. And I know.
The. Certificate of authenticity is
real because I'm in the picture.So you know, I can validate that
(29:42):
that. Photo is real.
So that's just give you an example.
Of like how people utilize deathas.
Way to make money I mean off of.You know it's.
If you have the like Elvis or any sort of anybody who has
passed. Away that is was.
Popular or you know talked aboutcelebrity they're worth more
(30:02):
money deceased than. They were alive, as sad as that.
Sick as that sounds. For real.
So. Any, I mean, they don't have to
be dead either. Like stuff with Trump is, you
know, trending out there. I mean it doesn't have any
anything. Like just be creative.
And think about like, what's on the news?
What do you hear about all the time?
You know what's? What's viral over here?
It's and look around your house and see if you have.
(30:23):
Shit laying around that you don't use and you want to make
some extra money to go sell it. So what's up, Brian?
So I am. I don't need to.
Do that because I already have apile of shit and stuff that it's
not really. Shit, I'm just saying that.
It's vintage stuff. But what I am selling now is I
am liquidating. A lot of.
Stuff in my own house and getting.
(30:45):
Rid of stuff that I meant to sell a while ago.
I just procrastinated. And I didn't.
Sell it so. That's what I'm doing now, and
so I'm teaching a class on Mondays at 8:00.
O'clock. For one hour on how to do that
and I'm telling you, you can. Start out like I did and sell.
Used underwear from the. 50s and60s and make 5 to 6000.
Dollars a month I'm not. Joking like that is what I sold.
(31:07):
Strictly used underwear for likeprobably about a good.
Six months around there. 5 to 6000 bucks off the used
underwear. I mean it.
Didn't have any like shit stainsin it and stuff like that.
It was, it was probably a lot oftransgender and you know, drag
beans and stuff like that. Because.
A lot of men bought it and it was women like bloomers type.
(31:28):
Of little. Fluffy ruffy things and I sent a
lot of them. They a lot of them went
internationally. So but from then I decided, you
know, Oh shit, that clothing, itwasn't exactly vintage clothing
was cool and everything, but it wasn't something I'm looking up
because I got attacked by a frogguy here.
I'm my new she shed and a frog attacked me the other day and
(31:48):
like I heard that noise of like Oh my God.
Is it the frog guy here? So I went into costume jewelry,
vintage costume jewelry was my next thing because once again,
it fits in a 5 by 7 box or 5 by 7 padded envelope and you can
easily ship it and it has the flat rate and it's easy for me
because I'm lazy on shipping andI don't want to ship stuff.
(32:10):
So it's just wait, what's the other one?
The coins. But the jewelry also is another
thing where it can take you downa rabbit hole you and once again
if you. Are.
In your 30s? Or in your who was that in your
40s? You, your vision maybe not so
good. So you're going to need to get a
(32:30):
jeweler's loop or some sort of bifocals so that you can see
the. Hallmarks on items.
So any jewelry that is designer or authentic with gold, silver
or anything like that is they'llhave hallmarks on it.
And you know, and if you don't know what that means, it's the
stamp inside the jewelry or on the clamp.
(32:52):
That signifies if it's real or if.
It's not real. And there's ways to test that
too. There's.
You know all kinds. Of things that you can do to see
if things are real but. 01 otherthing too.
With the whole celebrity thing when they die type of like sell
things is the holidays, especially with Christmas and
(33:12):
with Mother's Day coming up and Father's Day and all that.
Shit like something even like this tiny little book, you know,
it's his mother's minute. It's something that you could
pop up there and sell that really quick and you know.
People are, People are. Googling that stuff, people are
looking up that stuff. You know, you got to you got to
think like a marketing person. You got to think like what's
(33:33):
trending, what's in, what's not out?
I mean, what is in the news? Who What is the world thinking
about right now and if holidays are coming up?
Think of items that you have related to the holidays.
Not only will you will you draw attention to that item.
If you post one item of a holiday, like for instance this
book Mother's Day. If you post this item for on
(33:57):
your but you don't normally sellstuff like this, this one book
can draw attention to your storeonline.
And people will be curious to see the other stuff.
That you have for sale just because you posted.
One thing that is related to theupcoming holiday.
You get what I'm saying? It's kind of like a subliminal
marketing approach. Where if you post something
(34:18):
that's trending or viral or you know Justin Bieber has a baby,
you know and post a picture of Justin Bieber having a baby on
your page. That will draw attention to your
page. Then people will also be
clicking around and see other stuff and they fix and you may
actually get a new customer and then the sale out of that type
of method. So it's always good to.
(34:39):
Post trending items just to get more traffic, get new customers
and also get new sales, hopefully out of that instead of
having the same old blaze blaze,you know, to people.
So I know it just sounds boring.To you if it does.
Then this isn't. For you, but if you are into.
Sales. And you are looking to talk to
(35:00):
somebody that you know personally or you know me online
for years now and follow me. And you know that like my shit.
I mean, yeah, I'm. Like a little.
Fucked up sometimes on some things, but I I'm real raw and
rare and I would not be talking about something that I didn't
prove like factually provenly domy itself like I wouldn't guide
(35:21):
anybody in the wrong direction because I don't want to be
dealing with any drama in my life and I don't need anybody
calling me up like. You didn't.
You said this like no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not dealing with any of that.
So I wouldn't be advising any ofthis.
Information if it wasn't proven to.
Help you have a side hustle. And make some extra income.
I mean go in your. Closets get rid of some of your.
(35:42):
Clothes that you're not. I have a rule if I haven't.
Worn it in six months. To a year.
It's out of here like 6 months to a year.
That means I'm not going to probably wear it.
Like I hold on to things like skinny jeans or fat jeans or
anything. Like I'm like I'm getting.
Rid of all that stuff. You can go to.
Consignment stores and get. They have like.
Bag days where you can get a whole.
(36:03):
Shit load of clothes. Stuffed in one bag for 15 bucks
and it's really nice stuff. I mean, I don't really care.
I mean I care about my jeans. I'm a missing type of chick.
But I mean I'm not as big on designer.
Stuff as I used to be. I still am, you know, like
quality. I like quality items so.
But I like to. Also get new stuff so I can.
(36:25):
Keep the. Rotation in my closet going, you
know what I'm saying? I just got rid of.
A whole bunch of stuff every day, but.
I gave some new canvas too, and I gave some to Haley and her.
Daughters and stuff, so everybody even saw different
sizes. And then I kept.
Some stuff to sell, so another item.
That I have on my left is old books.
(36:46):
You can these are hit or miss. I know when everybody finds.
Old books, they're. Like Oh my gosh, like this is
from like 16 hundreds. This is going to be like so
valuable. It's not always that valuable.
The. The collectors out there for
books are out there. They're out there, but they're
very particular. On what they're collecting and
(37:07):
it's. Also about how what shape the
books. In like for instance this one
right here. It's got.
Handwriting in it. It's got a signature.
It's from the 1890. You see it, I can't tell what
it's there. Wait, 1890 right there.
(37:29):
So that to me is pretty his likecool history right there.
Like like. Holy shit, sometimes from 1890
then it's called spelling. I mean 70 lessons in spelling
from the 1800s. So the the copyright on here.
Is or the published date? Is in the shit.
Is where I need those glasses. I think it's 1885.
(37:52):
Wait, hold on. I can see it.
Does it say 1885? Or 1890?
Yeah, 1890. So here I'm holding a book and
it's teaching people. Well, it did.
On how to do correct spelling from the 1800s, I mean that to.
Me is full history. Right there and it does have a
(38:16):
newer lessons about pronouncing word maybe like some of the
generations. In this book.
Like. I mean, it's pretty cool.
It's got all. Kinds of lessons in IT and
words. So this is a good.
Example of a book to sell on eBay.
It's in good good condition for being.
(38:36):
Over a. Couple 100 years old 1890 and it
has the back and the front. It has the bind spine on it.
It means it's a little rough, but still.
So I would sell this. This one's a good one, and then
this one right here is another example.
Of a book. That's kind of in a little.
Bit of rough shape. And it's it's religion too.
(38:57):
You don't always. I don't always get into the
religion stuff. Or politics.
It's not my thing. But this one's also.
Written in the beginning of it, maybe it was just something that
they did back then, but it's kind of cool to know that, you
know? Whoever had this book?
Is probably passed away or someone's great grandmother or
something and that's their signature when they were in 3rd
(39:18):
grade it. Says and this.
Is a book about Bible stories and this was copyrighted.
And 1880. Two, I think the Philadelphia
Way, 1882. What's that 82?
Somewhere around those 18. Hundreds do.
(39:39):
They even have. TV back then only did TV get
invented. Oh wow, I just opened up to the
10. Commandments.
I mean, I, I just, I'm just sometimes like inspired by not
inspired. I'm just kind of like, wow,
that's cool. You know, just type of
intrigued, intrigued about some of the history.
But these books I would sell regardless how much I like them
(40:01):
because they're small and they fit into a 5 by 7 padded
envelope from the Dollar Tree. You get three of them for $1.25
and shipping. Is easy better being better?
Boom, put a little label on it by bitch and it gets picked up
by USPS from the front door and you just made some money and
then are you really missing the book once it's gone?
(40:24):
What book right? So but some books, you know,
don't always sell that way and. So when you're going to pick the
items that you're going. To sell on eBay, you don't.
It's that's what's the best thing about it is.
You don't have to be like tik. T.O.K and.
Facebook and you don't have to have a niche that you have.
To stick with like just if. You.
Are just selling cats. You don't have to just sell cat
(40:46):
items all the time. It's not like that on these
platforms. These platforms you could sell
whatever the fuck you want to sell and how much you wanted it
wherever you wanted it. I mean well technically there is
some items you can't sell like alcohol and and.
There's. There is some items, but you
know, you get what I'm saying. So I mean it's just you're not
put in a category of an algorithm on these platforms or
(41:09):
at least eBay or not if. You just.
Particularly if you bounce around and sell different items
because I sold, I sell everything from coins,
currencies to make up to vintagejewelry to Jordans to fishing
poles. To, I mean, anything all over
the place, so don't feel like you have to like.
Stick in there. This the certificate of.
(41:31):
Authenticity is very important on some items that you do need
to have them and when you post any item on eBay.
I only have a few. Because this thing's going to
die out, but. You want to make sure in your
description. That if if this is true, this.
Is something that I. Always do.
(41:51):
Always. And anything I sell online on
the title I always use all caps and if.
Bold is available. I'll use bold.
I use all caps. And in the beginning, I'll put a
an ostrich. I don't use emojis.
I use an ostrich and all caps I'll put vintage or antique or
NIBA. New inbox New with.
(42:12):
Tags. Rare, rare, vintage.
I've I'll put those keywords. In front of my item listing
every single time. Because if you go, if you.
Look up on eBay or Walmart or anything a pair.
Of socks. White socks.
You put it in the word white socks.
A whole shit load of them come down on the list and your
eyeballs literally go scan, scan, scan, scan.
(42:35):
But your brain will stop you on one that stands out to you and
you'll click on it. Well, if you have a posting on
eBay and you do just type it outboring blase like everybody
else. Your shit's not going to stand
out as much as anybody else that's flipping through pages,
you know, looking at stuff and browsing.
So if you have an like an ostrich or.
(42:56):
Like a. Fire emoji or something and you
have all caps. It's bold, it stands out and it
brings more presents. To a search if there's.
Tons of them out there, you knowwhat I mean?
So you're not just lost in the fish.
Seat. And that does.
Help. Trust me, you do stand out if
you do something like that. And it doesn't mean you're
screaming at someone or you're all texts, you know, all caps.
It means you're just trying to stand out and be bold and in the
(43:18):
description. I don't use AI for my
descriptions. Once in a blue moon I will, but
I don't like to be that lazy. I like to use my own
descriptions. And because I want it to come
out of my mouth, I always tell everybody that I am not a
professional of these items. I bought these items at a high
end estate. Sale.
I am not a professional these items.
They ask all. Questions prior to bidding.
(43:40):
There are no returns and these items come from a smoke free
and. A pet free environment, so a lot
of people like to have their items.
From smoke. Free.
Cigarettes. Marijuana, whatever, smoke free
and pet free, but you know, theydon't want fur hair on their
stuff, which you know, I I don'tI don't I won't buy something if
it's from the smoke smoke or, you know, animal offensive
(44:02):
house, because I don't want it. It's my choice.
It's I don't want to be have furon me from someone else.
'S pet and stuff. So, you know, be cautious and
careful, but if you do have something that you're selling
that is. From a smoke and but you know
pet environment. Tell them that be real because
if you don't and you know they dispute this and they fire back
at you and they, you know, file a complaint on you, that one
(44:25):
little incident could ruin your.Relationship with a platform.
With eBay with. Shopify with any of them you
know you could get easily just they won't even say anything to
you. They'll just hit a button by
bitch your accounts shut off I mean.
Literally I've had that happen. Like so you just got to be like
customer service savvy type of person.
At all times and think like how you want to be treated when you
(44:47):
sell stuff. Because if you misrepresent
yourself and misrepresent items,it's just going to backfire you
and you're going to lose your credentials and you're going to
lose, you know, your relationship with that platform
and try to open up another eBay account.
Go ahead, bitch. Try.
Because they have tracking software that tracks all that
stuff. Like they can find out if you
(45:07):
are acting as a female and you're a male and then you're
using like a totally different IP.
Address. AVPN from China, you know they
have a way to find out that information, and they will.
And they'll hold your money too.If you made money on that
account, buy money you don't even get a chance to.
Say a word, they block. You too.
You can't even call their. Customer service.
(45:28):
So it's no joke. It's.
The So you got to take it serious, but.
You can make money while you sleep, aren't we supposed?
To have that sort of side hustle.
Make money right you want a job or side hustle that you make
money while you sleep well eBay,Shopify and all them TikTok
shop, Facebook workplace all of them are ones that you can if
you get the system that I'm trying to teach you down and
obviously I can't teach this allin one fucking night so but
(45:50):
Mondays at 8:00 I'll be teachingmore tips on how to make 5 to
6000 bucks easy a month off of selling eBay and it's just.
It's once you. Get.
The the legits and the of. Where I'm going with my
technique and what I've done. It's I could post stuff.
I easily take Me 2 seconds before I even take me a long
(46:11):
time because I had to research and research and this and this
and this and this and but now that I've mastered eBay,
mastered it. I didn't experiment.
I've mastered it and you can take that.
Skill. Of what I teach you.
From that point of selling and use it anywhere, like I'm
telling you, I use the same techniques that I do on eBay in
(46:32):
real life, in person to person and on anywhere I want to sell
even. It doesn't have to be items
either, from services to contract services to the trades
world, anything. It's just psychology behind a
lot of this and it's etiquette. It's etiquette and common sense.
It's common sense and etiquette and psychology that you didn't
(46:52):
think was really involved until somebody points it out.
It's that type of thing. So your homework is to go around
your house and find some shit that you haven't touched in six
months to a year. It's collecting dust and it's
not doing anything valuable in your life besides just staring
at you and. Put it.
Aside and get it ready to sell. On a platform and.
EBay. Shop by whatever.
(47:12):
You're comfortable using. I mean, you can even look.
I found these in my drawer. I had.
Playbooks. I've totally forgot that I have
these. You think I'm really like
looking at these right now they're just collecting dust.
I'd rather. Have the money.
So. I mean, I'm going to sell these,
put these bitches up probably tonight.
Hey, bitches. So there's things that I mean
(47:36):
could be just sitting around in your doors, in your drum floor.
That is. You wouldn't have no idea that
it's even worth money. I sold a Barbie, a shoe.
You know, the original Barbie. She had that black and white
bathing suit on right? And she's worth a lot of money.
But I had. AI.
Think it was Jenny, like the little sister of the I think
1938. She was out.
Sitting on there from. Mattel But I just sold a pair of
(47:58):
Barbie shoes or pair of shoes that say.
Japan on them, not China. You don't want any China because
Japan. Shows that it's like.
Original and it's. Rare.
And it's antique. It's.
Valuable. So I sold a pair of shoes for
$42.00. Just a pair of Barbie shoes.
OK, people and people bought, but the ones.
That have haircuts. Ones that have been like
(48:20):
beheaded. You know when your little.
Girl, you put you. Give them a haircut and stuff.
They look like you know and thensome.
Some of them had no heads, no arms and stuff.
Bitches bought the shit. I mean at top.
Price too, like they put them inlittle doll hospitals and stuff.
I mean they literally. Bought every little knickknack,
(48:41):
A scarf or anything I made a killing off of like 1 little bag
of Barbie vintage stuff. I just.
I. Pieced it out.
Instead of selling it in one group.
Because a lot of people like to buy stuff that is pieced out.
They don't like to buy. Bunk.
Big chunk of shit. They like to have.
One item at a time and suck it, I mean.
There's some of us out there that like to buy big.
Chunks of shit. Because we resell.
It you know, type of thing or you know.
(49:03):
Or you're hoarder. Just playing hoarder but a lot
of people will buy more and spend more on items that are
individually posted and with the.
Perfect lighting, which I'll go over.
The lighting and how to post it and all.
That good stuff. But just be real in all your
posts and. You know, make sure the item is
just presentable. It does and any flaws, cracks or
(49:24):
anything in it you must. Declare it because trust.
Me it's I've been through not declaring.
It and it has bit me in the ass so bad.
It's kind of like I've had to make up so many excuses and lies
about white lies about why, you know, this, this and it was.
Just like why didn't I just tellthem from the the truth from the
beginning? But I was.
Afraid to like. Admit that I don't know because
(49:44):
I wanted to sell the. Item, but I didn't want to like
admit. That it had a.
Flaw. Because I didn't want them to
not buy it. And then little did I know that
it was not a good way of thinking and it just bit me in
the ass. It got me like, you know, in a
deeper hole of not having customer trust me anymore type
of thing. So don't do that.
Hold on, I have to. Get this situated.
What is this? Come on.
OK. I haven't done this in a long
time even though I've been live on the other ones so.
(00:29):
I don't know what all those buttons are for, but whatever.
What I need what I need, this little book right here.
I'm Oh my kid, this one. Supposed to go to the store for
me and he hasn't done a story yet for me.
(00:50):
My shoes up here. Need another brand new but.
They are bad luck. It's an Irish thing.
Put them right there. I'm going to tell my story.
Of. How and what and.
Where, what, who, what, where? When and why is what I did to
make a 5 to 6000 a month income as a stay at home mom after I
(01:14):
had my third son and. What I did was I.
Sold on eBay and so eBay has been my.
Like my baby, like my baby platform.
It's been, you know, one that I,I've used a lot.
Some some years and some some years.
I've taken a little break, but I.
Always come back to it. It's like.
(01:36):
A relationship that's stable in my life is eBay.
So what I did with eBay is I. I needed, we needed extra
income, you know, after my thirdson was home and I didn't want
to put him in daycare and I didn't want to.
I just, I just wasn't one of those moms that.
Did the daycare thing until I got a little bit older.
So I basically brainstormed and I'm like, you know what, I'm
(02:00):
going to start selling some stuff on eBay and I didn't know
what to sell. I didn't know where to start.
I didn't know anyone that's really doing it besides my my
mother-in-law that rest in peacehas passed away.
And she's kind of the one that held my hand and got me into it.
Miss Sylvia. And she introduced me to the
(02:21):
vintage world of vintage clothing and vintage jewelry,
costume jewelry and all that good stuff.
And what had happened from that point is she gave me.
She does estate. Sales and really high end ones.
And she gave me a bunch of vintage clothes one day, like a
bunch of garbage bags of them. And I went through them and I
(02:42):
didn't know what I was looking at.
I didn't know like what exactly vintage clothing, like where
they were, they stunk and they're motivated.
Like I didn't understand. This is before I got into
thrifting and stuff. So I went.
Through them and I found the smallest.
Items that I could use to easilypost pictures and.
Post them online to sell. And and it turned out to be the
(03:02):
most successful. Thing that I did starting out
from learning eBay and that was.Vintage used underwear is
basically what I did. They're called bloomers, like
vintage bloomers. They were these white little,
almost like boxer size like this.
Like. Yeah, like boxer short size with
(03:24):
puppy ruffles. On them, and I mean, some are
silky, some are, you know, polyesters, some are not.
They were all like a beige coloror white color or.
Once in a while I got a black. Color or dark?
Tan color. But those?
Things. I post, they look.
Brand new, I mean, you couldn't tell they were used and so those
things went like longer I mean people internationally started
(03:47):
buying them from me left, right and I was so.
Like at first I was like, there's.
You know I'm. Not going to be able to make
money off of this. I'm not going to do this.
You know I this. Isn't going to work Negative,
negative, negative. But it.
Wasn't it? Wasn't that at all.
I had immediate success and I just kept getting more and more
successful at it and became a power seller very quickly
(04:10):
because I learned techniques andI learned to master eBay like
literally have mastered. The system.
The algorithms. How to post, what to post, how
to post it, where to post it, what pricing you post it, the
template to post it I mean. What time to?
Post. It I mean everything you can
think of, I have spent years, I'm talking like over 10 years
(04:32):
mastering eBay and the only thing you know that they have
changed over time is a little. Bit of the.
Technology with AI and all that good.
Stuff but there. Is a system that if you follow
and if you do pay attention to small details, you can make eBay
a side. Hustle.
That you make money while you sleep.
(04:52):
You know, while you sleep. You need that income while you
sleep. And that's what it exactly did
to me. I would wake up in the morning
and I would have sales. And.
I would. That's it's better right here.
And I would. Had made money.
While. I was sleeping so but what I did
was the. Bloomer bloomers.
(05:13):
It feels so weird saying bloomers.
But. The bloomers were the
inspiration that kept me going to keep, you know, you know,
when you're selling stuff, you know, and people are buying it,
you're like, Oh my gosh, like the, you get that, you know,
adrenaline going. And then if you don't have
anything selling, it's kind of a, you feel kind of like in the
dumps. But I didn't have that feeling
(05:34):
at all with this and hold on. I'm trying to figure out this.
Here thing real quick, so you can say I'm on there.
I don't know if it is right. Yeah.
All right, I'm doing. Sorry.
All right, so anyway, sorry, so I just kept.
(06:01):
Doing it and I. Started going to other things,
vintage clothing. It's more like the women's stuff
I would do. What the heck is my other phone?
Sorry, bear with me. It feels so weird saying
bloomers. All right, it was working.
Just checking, just checking. So make sure just checking.
(06:27):
Because I haven't done this in forever other I don't know what
the stone message. Isn't so far.
So anyway, I I was pulling in aneasy. 5 to 6000 a month from
(06:48):
just selling used underwear on eBay as a stay at home mom of.
Three boys and a newborn and, you know, living in an
apartment, you know, just a whole, you know, shenanigans of.
Of. Chaos going on in my life and.
I was able to have the flexibility.
To take care of my. Kids do what I got to do.
(07:10):
And still bring in money to make.
All the bills. You know.
All the bills paid. Finally have that ethic right
now, but I wanted I'm going to be teaching a class on Mondays
around 8:00 or at 8:00. It's $27.00 for an hour.
And so it might, might go over an hour, but it's going to be a
virtual online class and you know, spots are limited per
(07:35):
class. But I'm going to teach you
exactly what I did, how I did it, and what I do to
continuously keep. EBay, you know, revenue coming
in. And it's not just for eBay.
Either you could do Shopify. You could take what I'm teaching
you and use it anywhere. You can use it on any selling
platform possible. You can use it on.
TikTok shop. You can use it on marketplace.
(07:56):
You can use it in. Person, you can use it in paper,
like what I'm going to teach youdoesn't just oblige to eBay.
It is a system. It's certainly a system.
It's just technique. It's sales technique that I have
mastered utilizing utilizing ebay's platform because that's
what I started out using. So and once you get the hang of
(08:19):
it and you understand the legits.
Of. What I'm explaining to you on
what I did and you'll start to get that, Oh my gosh, I didn't
even think of that. It's like those type of
techniques that I learned through mastering eBay.
And so I'm telling you, if I cansell 5 to $6000 a month.
With used underwear I'm. Pretty.
Sure, you'll be able to sell. Anything online and it like I.
(08:43):
Said you can use Shopify. I'm I'm not like a huge Shopify
fan. I use it but it's just a lot of
it's. I mean, you need a whole day to.
Do set up your Shopify. Account every day that's not
just a one hour type of. Dizzy right there.
Shopify is no joke. So whatever platform you sell,
Pinterest, anything like that, you can take what I'm going to
(09:03):
be teaching on Mondays at 8:00 and use those techniques on any
of those. Platforms.
Because it is. It's not just eBay, you know,
patented. Type of stuff.
But what? One of the things that they
recommend to when you do any selling online.
Is when you if you have to pick a.
Niche, A niche, niche, whatever,however you pronounce it.
(09:24):
And I don't like to be in that category.
I don't like to do niches. Niches and I never have because
I don't really have one. I'm I'm a diverse person, so I
don't put myself in one category.
And that's fine. You don't have to.
But what you do have to do then is master what Nietzsche's is
Nietzsche's or niches I don't. Know Nietzsche's?
(09:46):
I put you in the English language is you.
You have to master whatever reaches you are putting out
there, though you can do a million of them, but make sure
you master them. You know the insurance and outs
who, what, where, when and why'sso that you don't look like fool
or mislead people with other information.
That's not, you know, the correct information that they
need for success. Because everything we that I
(10:07):
want to teach and do and say andand show everybody is to.
Set you up for success. As it has.
Been for me. So I was saying that some of the
things that though I started outlike I said, I started selling
used bloomers. You know, vintage.
Bloomers as my first thing that I sold with eBay, and then I
went into vintage clothing and then I went into costume
(10:31):
jewelry, costume designer jewelry, and then I went into
little trinkets. So antiques.
Dolls. Little toys.
I went into items that were small because I didn't want to
ship anything big. I was lazy about that.
I still am. I don't like to ship a lot.
I like to use the 5 by 7 padded vanilla envelope suckers that
(10:54):
you can get at the Dollar Tree. A three pack for $1.25 and I use
that and if it can't fit in thatpackage then I'm not.
Going to sell it because that's just my method.
I kept a very organized system. You got to have You got to have
like an eBay research day. You got to I'm using eBay just
as my platform. You can, you can substitute that
(11:16):
with anything. You got to have a shipping day.
You got to have a customer service responded messages day.
You got to have a. Like inventory day, you have to
have a go. Shopping for more?
Shit day. I mean, there's a lot of stuff
that you still have to organize for yourself to set yourself up
for success when you go to sell.Items online, and that's not
(11:38):
just for products either talkingeven marketing services or any
sort of, you know, services contractors in any industry.
You have to have a system and you have to have an organized.
Otherwise it's you're setting yourself up for failure.
So I didn't say anything about time management because I am
horrible at time management. I don't even know I'm late.
(12:00):
I'll be late to my own funeral type of chick.
So I don't even get me started on that.
But I can't organize my shit, soI can't do that.
So what I did was is when you first start selling on eBay as a
seller, you have like. You went to a yard sale and you
got all this shit. You're like, Oh my gosh, I got
all this shit for 1/4. I'm going to sell all this shit
(12:21):
on eBay. People are going to buy it.
They're going to love it. It's like signed, it's this and
that. And you get home and you're all
excited. You're pumped up, you're ready
to go sell, and that's fine. It's.
Great little fire to have. In your in your system but.
One thing that it will do, it will take you down this rabbit
hole of wasted time because you will spend hours, days, whatever
(12:44):
researching everything that you bought and researching the fuck
out of it too to see. What the value?
Is. You know how much it's?
Worth how much you can. Get out of it.
What's this? What's this color?
Is it really real? Is it often you will drive
yourself insane, you know, chasing this?
What is this item? It's like a it's like a little
like selling online high in a way.
You're just excited. You want to see how much this
(13:05):
little book you know is worth like, Oh my gosh.
And then that thing leads to another thing and another thing
that and all of a sudden you're not getting shit done because
you're just sitting there looking up your shit instead of
posting your shit and making shit.
So what happens is. I mean don't get me wrong, I
victim. Of that I did that for.
I researched my stuff. For months, I mean, like I
(13:26):
wasted probably a whole weeks, weeks just researching what I
had because I had so much shit. I started accumulating so much
stuff at consignment stores thatthrift stores that hand me
downs, anywhere that I could getmy hands on some vintage and
antique stuff. So I went over to the like.
(13:46):
Flea markets too, Flea markets, I went there a lot, but then I
started gathering all this stuffand then I would have this pile.
And it's that's where I went wrong because it started kind of
borderline hoarder. Ish ish and it wasn't stuff that
I was going to keep. Personally, but it was.
Like a stockpile that I was packing, but it was a little out
of control, I admit. It so I.
(14:07):
Would. Spend hours and hours and hours
like up all night researching everything and.
Then it was it was like. Addicted.
Like I got so addicted to looking up stuff and learning
the history of everything that Iforgot and to kind of side
sideline my. Like priority of posting.
So I had to come up with some sort of routine or something to
(14:28):
get that under control. So I designated like Mondays
would be my research day and I would spend Mondays researching
all my stuff. And then whatever I didn't get
done on Monday, boom, like. Whatever I'll save.
It for next Monday. Tuesday would be my listing day.
Where I would list. All my stuff that I would sell
online and then there, you know,Wednesday would be shipping.
(14:49):
I would ship out items that soldthat week.
You know I. Gave a 3/3.
Yeah, three day window of when an item sold and the money went
into my PayPal account, I gave me gave myself three business
days allowable to ship an item. So it gave me a little bit of
wiggle room in case I had an emergency or something happened
or I forgot and those things happened.
(15:09):
So from that point the shipping day and then you can also set up
your shipping to. Where if you don't have a
vehicle. You don't have transportation or
anything like that you can have.Your items picked up right from
your front door. USPS you can schedule it.
Online, they will pick it up thenext day anytime you want.
So not having transportation is not an issue in this industry,
(15:31):
in this world. It's selling online because you
don't have to even leave your house.
I mean, you can go around and get.
Shit out of your walls. And out of your cupboards and.
Sell that if you want, and you could sell.
I'll teach you how to. Sell anything you could sell
shit. Out of your dog's ass.
If you want it to somebody. The way I teach how to sell.
So it's it's a. System that is like an honest
(15:54):
system. It's no car salesy sleaziness.
No, no pun intended. It's just a like the psychology.
And the and the. Like psychology?
Behind. You know your way.
Of communicating an item to another individual to get them
to purchase it and it doesn't matter what it is.
SO, and I could stand behind that 1000%.
(16:16):
So take what I've done over over10 years of mastering eBay and
learn from me and make some money because you're sitting on
a gold mine. If you've got ship laying around
in your house and you're not using it and it's just
collecting dust and you can sellit online.
So there's so much, you know, insurance and outs that I want
(16:37):
to teach. That's why I'm going to be
hosting a class on Mondays and. You can register on the website
at the vaginas.com. I think the link is below or up
or somewhere but. It's I think starting next
Monday, but another I want to give out a few tips though,
about if you're not sure what tosell, if you're not sure what to
sell on eBay, once again, you have to pick your.
(17:00):
Niche of size too. Do you like selling stuff?
That's large. Do you like?
Shipping you like shipping and receiving if you.
Love shipping and receiving, wrapping Christmas presents, all
that good stuff. Then you.
Could probably sell anything, you know, if you are like me and
you don't like to do shipping and receiving, you don't like to
have large boxes all the laying around and like tape this to
(17:21):
that. Then you have the 5 by 7
envelopes, padded envelopes thatthen kind of gives you a little
bit of guidance of where to start if you're going to pick
something to sell so that you know the size and so you can
look around at your house and belike, well, this remote, you
know, will fit into that envelope.
I'm going to start selling this remote so.
(17:43):
I mean, that's. Just an an example so you can go
around either. I recommend going around your
house. And taking anything that you
haven't used, touched, dusted ormoved in six to six months to a
year. And sell it.
And I mean, unless it's some family heirloom or something
like that. Obviously you don't sell it, I
mean. Whatever.
I mean, I have somebody's dead mother, you know, in urn in my
(18:05):
kitchen, and I don't even know her last name.
So there's like crazy. Stuff.
I mean, I'm not getting rid of her.
Kim and I are kind of, you know,bonded.
Anyway. Hi, Kim.
So if you if you don't have items.
Readily available. And or if you don't have a.
Budget to go. Buy things.
I'm telling you, you don't need to spend a lot of money to
(18:26):
resell items. Everybody goes to a yard sale
and smile or thrift store or Goodwill or anywhere.
And you can find simple things in there, dishes, pots and pans
and silverware, anything like that.
And and resell you can sell on on Amazon.
You can open up a store. With them too you can open up a
store basically anywhere now youjust have to like choose what.
Platform you're comfortable with, it may be one that you.
(18:49):
Have like a little bit of history with.
Or one that you already familiarwith their system.
EBay is mine obviously, so my. I got power seller status
pretty. Fast I've lost it too a few
times I had to get it back and you know, it's a bunch of
bullshit from eBay. There's I will get into that
too. There is I mean any platform
their their rules and stuff are are not really in favor to the
(19:11):
seller. They're usually in favor.
To the buyer. And it's a bunch of bullshit.
It really isn't. So there's been a few bumps in
the road with them, but I still stick by the eBay platform
1000%. So another good idea to look up
things. And I know there's been this
obsession lately on Tiktok with everybody looking at currency
(19:34):
and coins. People do not believe everything
you hear on Tiktok. Oh my God.
Like, I know like handful of people, adults that should know
better that are coming up to me and saying, Oh my gosh, Debbie
did. You.
See, like this alien that has purple heads and all this stuff
landed on, you know, in Texas and it's on TikTok.
It's real. And so it's like, oh, oh.
(19:56):
My gosh, no, it's not real. OK, so there's.
A lot of coin people on TikTok too that show all these coins
and you know, Oh my gosh, if youhave this 1972 quarter, it's
worth $3.7 million, you better find it now and you better get
it graded and you better. Sell it, bitch.
Because you're going, you're a millionaire.
(20:17):
It's not true. It's not true.
There's so much detail. And if you are a coin collector
and currency and notes, then youhave a very distinct eye for
what you're looking for. The errors and all that good
stuff. The star notes, the blue notes,
red notes, you know. All that good stuff.
If you don't have any experiencein any coins and you want to get
(20:40):
into it and you want to sell it on eBay, which eBay is the
number one coin currency sellingplatform out there and that's
where it's trusted. They just started doing like
live options too on there, whichis pretty cool.
I want to get in on that. So if you.
Just got this, you know. Kick up your butt then.
You want to sell coins, which isnot a bad idea.
(21:01):
Pick a currency. Pick a quarter, pick.
Morgan and Silver Dollars. Pick the Liberty.
You know, pick the second Julia.Pick the Buffalo nickels.
Pick the wheat pennies. Pick one of those.
Because if you go. And try to sell all different
kinds of coins and stuff. You're not really going to be
mastering the the coin, you knowwhat I mean?
(21:24):
You have to. Like really get.
Experience with the coin know what what the errors are where
the A and the UA and the M are in the space what they're it's
double stand it's you know there's a lot to know and you.
Can depreciate the value of a. Coin trying to sell it to a
collector by not knowing that stuff too.
So if you don't know any of thatstuff and you just try to wing
(21:46):
it and sell it, you may get lucky, you know, you might get
some bites, but you may also, you know, get made fun of or you
may just get, you know, blocked or you know what, whatever and
powder. So there's, but there is.
Money to make in there and when I said that you can go down the
rabbit hole of researching stuff.
(22:07):
This. Department is one that you can
go down the route the whole big time and just spend hours and
hours researching it and make sure you got those little like
Jewelers loop bifocal things with the little lights on them.
Because if you're at my age where our vision is going a
little little, you know, I refuse to do this with my phone
(22:29):
but or change my font size, but looking at these things
sometimes. Is little little.
Stress on the eyeballs. But yeah, I had AI, got a 19.
I don't forget what year it was,but out of my change that I got
from grocery shopping one year Igot a three legged Buffalo
nickel and I was blown away. Like out of all the places I got
(22:53):
it, I just happened to be looking at my change that week
and I looking in my pocket and Oh my gosh.
I have that three legged Buffalo.
Well, if I would have. Taken that three legged Buffalo
nickel and got it graded with NGCS.
Or whatever it is. And did that process, that
nickel could have been probably around $30,000 that I could have
sold it. Well, guess how much I sold it
(23:15):
for. I sold it for $500 and I was
happy with that. That was $500 more than I had
the day before and that was $500more than.
Then. The value of the actual nickel.
So I was happy with that. But everybody.
Around me was like, Oh my. Gosh, I can't believe he was
sold. It's like I don't give a shit.
(23:35):
Because I'm not holding on to stuff to like hoard it.
I'm holding on stuff to flip it,sell it and get some more money
in my pocket. And if I got $500, that's like a
million times, you know, over myROI, my return on investment of
my profit. My overhead is like was nothing.
It was basically a free thing and I made 500 bucks off of it,
so I was happy with that. It's like the ones that hold on
(23:58):
to these coins and you know, fora a rainy day, it's like you're
not going to get anywhere with that.
If you want to sell coins and get into it, go get them graded.
Take the time to get them graded.
It costs money to get them graded.
It's going to take like 6 to 8 weeks somewhere around there to
get them. There's a process you got to do.
And my foot is falling asleep. Oh my God.
Yeah. But.
(24:18):
There's a process. You got to do.
And you got to join the membership, you know, it costs,
I don't know how much it is a couple 100 bucks from the guy
to. Get it graded, but it's worth it
if. You've got a coin that's rare
and. It's a highly, you know, sought
out coin that collectors go after.
You could. Be a millionaire, but if you're
just doing it for shits and giggles already have one that's
(24:39):
graded in the plastic case like Morgan's.
I know the Carson City's. Stuff like that though. 1921 or
somewhere on there. I used to be a non licensed
auctioneer on national television with my baby daddy
number. Two, he was an auctioneer,
licensed auctioneer and. We would Co host a show.
And it was on national television and it was auctioning
(25:00):
off items. It was like an eBay that we
online and we did everything from coins, jewelry, gemstones
and real estate. So that's where a lot of my
experience came from as well, selling and doing auctions and
all that good stuff and having an eye for all that good stuff.
It was a good gig. It was just that.
That that company was like not ran very.
(25:23):
Property. I don't want to get into that
but. It was a good.
Experience and I got my mug on TV for four years so I was happy
with that. Actually, it's more like my
hands. All I did was show things like
and talk, but it was a. You know, a lot of things I
learned on there not to do and how to do and the experience.
(25:43):
So that led. Me, you know, to the eBay world.
So on top of that, another thingto pay attention to if you have
around your house is items that are in the news.
And what I mean by that, and I don't mean to be insensitive.
About this at all but in. Celebrities that have recently.
Passed away or some peace or anypoliticians, you know,
(26:05):
especially like Trump and all that going on.
They're trending, they're viral.You know those are trending.
People, for instance, like Whitney Houston when she passed
away. If you have a signed autograph
for Whitney Houston, that bitch is worth.
Celebrities. Are worth and sign as sports
players especially are worth more money when they're dead
than when they're alive. So I mean the Babe roots, the
(26:26):
Mickey Mantels do that, you know, all that good stuff.
Is very valuable. If it's signed with certificate
of authenticity, if you you knowthose are a must on those things
like you can get away with some excuse me, some items not having
a COA on it, but signed art jewel diamonds and especially
(26:48):
sports items that have autographs any with singers,
celebrities. Or sports people, you definitely
want a certificate of authenticity to prove that
you're not getting scammed, you know, or because there, I mean,
there's people that can sign thesignatures of those players and
celebrities so good that you know.
It's hard to tell. You know you need a
(27:09):
professional. To tell you if it's even fake.
So be careful with that world too, because.
I mean, I sold an Elvis Presley signed.
Like lithograph like. Painting or picture or something
like that and I not sure I didn't get.
It I didn't get a. Certificate of authenticity on
it. Because I just was like, I'm
going. To let people know in my post.
(27:31):
I was real about it. I told everybody.
Look, I'm not sure if this is real or not.
I didn't. I don't have ACOA on it and.
So I. Mean it's still sold for a
couple 100 bucks and I didn't care.
It was free, so it was somethingthat.
I didn't have to pay. For or anything like that.
So it's OK, I'm going to send itto my group plan.
(28:08):
There is that shit. Oh wait,
I forgot to do that. Yeah, my bad, I forget some not
(28:35):
to do. It it's like I do podcasting.
2/2 shows with. That and I got a lot going on.
I have a Generation Z kid. That was supposed to run into
the store for me and still hasn't passed out 'cause he
games all night. But anyway.
So anything that you hear in thenews you know is good.
Like so I have AI went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert for like
(28:58):
10 years, 12 years ago and they did their 30th year tour and you
know, sweet home Alabama. I think that's not my song.
I know well then I I had front row seats to that concert and
then. The girl that I was with, we
also got asked if we wanted to go backstage.
For a photo and meet the band and we got guitar.
Chips and so. I have a picture of us.
(29:20):
Sitting. In the middle of Lynyrd Skynyrd
and all the band members before,like most of them.
Passed. I think like half of them passed
away already so. I I could use utilize that photo
with a guitar chip. And frame it in a nice frame and
sell it on eBay. And I know.
The. Certificate of authenticity is
real because I'm in the picture.So you know, I can validate that
(29:42):
that. Photo is real.
So that's just give you an example.
Of like how people utilize deathas.
Way to make money I mean off of.You know it's.
If you have the like Elvis or any sort of anybody who has
passed. Away that is was.
Popular or you know talked aboutcelebrity they're worth more
(30:02):
money deceased than. They were alive, as sad as that.
Sick as that sounds. For real.
So. Any, I mean, they don't have to
be dead either. Like stuff with Trump is, you
know, trending out there. I mean it doesn't have any
anything. Like just be creative.
And think about like, what's on the news?
What do you hear about all the time?
You know what's? What's viral over here?
It's and look around your house and see if you have.
(30:23):
Shit laying around that you don't use and you want to make
some extra money to go sell it. So what's up, Brian?
So I am. I don't need to.
Do that because I already have apile of shit and stuff that it's
not really. Shit, I'm just saying that.
It's vintage stuff. But what I am selling now is I
am liquidating. A lot of.
Stuff in my own house and getting.
(30:45):
Rid of stuff that I meant to sell a while ago.
I just procrastinated. And I didn't.
Sell it so. That's what I'm doing now, and
so I'm teaching a class on Mondays at 8:00.
O'clock. For one hour on how to do that
and I'm telling you, you can. Start out like I did and sell.
Used underwear from the. 50s and60s and make 5 to 6000.
Dollars a month I'm not. Joking like that is what I sold.
(31:07):
Strictly used underwear for likeprobably about a good.
Six months around there. 5 to 6000 bucks off the used
underwear. I mean it.
Didn't have any like shit stainsin it and stuff like that.
It was, it was probably a lot oftransgender and you know, drag
beans and stuff like that. Because.
A lot of men bought it and it was women like bloomers type.
(31:28):
Of little. Fluffy ruffy things and I sent a
lot of them. They a lot of them went
internationally. So but from then I decided, you
know, Oh shit, that clothing, itwasn't exactly vintage clothing
was cool and everything, but it wasn't something I'm looking up
because I got attacked by a frogguy here.
I'm my new she shed and a frog attacked me the other day and
(31:48):
like I heard that noise of like Oh my God.
Is it the frog guy here? So I went into costume jewelry,
vintage costume jewelry was my next thing because once again,
it fits in a 5 by 7 box or 5 by 7 padded envelope and you can
easily ship it and it has the flat rate and it's easy for me
because I'm lazy on shipping andI don't want to ship stuff.
(32:10):
So it's just wait, what's the other one?
The coins. But the jewelry also is another
thing where it can take you downa rabbit hole you and once again
if you. Are.
In your 30s? Or in your who was that in your
40s? You, your vision maybe not so
good. So you're going to need to get a
(32:30):
jeweler's loop or some sort of bifocals so that you can see
the. Hallmarks on items.
So any jewelry that is designer or authentic with gold, silver
or anything like that is they'llhave hallmarks on it.
And you know, and if you don't know what that means, it's the
stamp inside the jewelry or on the clamp.
(32:52):
That signifies if it's real or if.
It's not real. And there's ways to test that
too. There's.
You know all kinds. Of things that you can do to see
if things are real but. 01 otherthing too.
With the whole celebrity thing when they die type of like sell
things is the holidays, especially with Christmas and
(33:12):
with Mother's Day coming up and Father's Day and all that.
Shit like something even like this tiny little book, you know,
it's his mother's minute. It's something that you could
pop up there and sell that really quick and you know.
People are, People are. Googling that stuff, people are
looking up that stuff. You know, you got to you got to
think like a marketing person. You got to think like what's
(33:33):
trending, what's in, what's not out?
I mean, what is in the news? Who What is the world thinking
about right now and if holidays are coming up?
Think of items that you have related to the holidays.
Not only will you will you draw attention to that item.
If you post one item of a holiday, like for instance this
book Mother's Day. If you post this item for on
(33:57):
your but you don't normally sellstuff like this, this one book
can draw attention to your storeonline.
And people will be curious to see the other stuff.
That you have for sale just because you posted.
One thing that is related to theupcoming holiday.
You get what I'm saying? It's kind of like a subliminal
marketing approach. Where if you post something
(34:18):
that's trending or viral or you know Justin Bieber has a baby,
you know and post a picture of Justin Bieber having a baby on
your page. That will draw attention to your
page. Then people will also be
clicking around and see other stuff and they fix and you may
actually get a new customer and then the sale out of that type
of method. So it's always good to.
(34:39):
Post trending items just to get more traffic, get new customers
and also get new sales, hopefully out of that instead of
having the same old blaze blaze,you know, to people.
So I know it just sounds boring.To you if it does.
Then this isn't. For you, but if you are into.
Sales. And you are looking to talk to
(35:00):
somebody that you know personally or you know me online
for years now and follow me. And you know that like my shit.
I mean, yeah, I'm. Like a little.
Fucked up sometimes on some things, but I I'm real raw and
rare and I would not be talking about something that I didn't
prove like factually provenly domy itself like I wouldn't guide
(35:21):
anybody in the wrong direction because I don't want to be
dealing with any drama in my life and I don't need anybody
calling me up like. You didn't.
You said this like no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not dealing with any of that.
So I wouldn't be advising any ofthis.
Information if it wasn't proven to.
Help you have a side hustle. And make some extra income.
I mean go in your. Closets get rid of some of your.
(35:42):
Clothes that you're not. I have a rule if I haven't.
Worn it in six months. To a year.
It's out of here like 6 months to a year.
That means I'm not going to probably wear it.
Like I hold on to things like skinny jeans or fat jeans or
anything. Like I'm like I'm getting.
Rid of all that stuff. You can go to.
Consignment stores and get. They have like.
Bag days where you can get a whole.
(36:03):
Shit load of clothes. Stuffed in one bag for 15 bucks
and it's really nice stuff. I mean, I don't really care.
I mean I care about my jeans. I'm a missing type of chick.
But I mean I'm not as big on designer.
Stuff as I used to be. I still am, you know, like
quality. I like quality items so.
But I like to. Also get new stuff so I can.
(36:25):
Keep the. Rotation in my closet going, you
know what I'm saying? I just got rid of.
A whole bunch of stuff every day, but.
I gave some new canvas too, and I gave some to Haley and her.
Daughters and stuff, so everybody even saw different
sizes. And then I kept.
Some stuff to sell, so another item.
That I have on my left is old books.
(36:46):
You can these are hit or miss. I know when everybody finds.
Old books, they're. Like Oh my gosh, like this is
from like 16 hundreds. This is going to be like so
valuable. It's not always that valuable.
The. The collectors out there for
books are out there. They're out there, but they're
very particular. On what they're collecting and
(37:07):
it's. Also about how what shape the
books. In like for instance this one
right here. It's got.
Handwriting in it. It's got a signature.
It's from the 1890. You see it, I can't tell what
it's there. Wait, 1890 right there.
(37:29):
So that to me is pretty his likecool history right there.
Like like. Holy shit, sometimes from 1890
then it's called spelling. I mean 70 lessons in spelling
from the 1800s. So the the copyright on here.
Is or the published date? Is in the shit.
Is where I need those glasses. I think it's 1885.
(37:52):
Wait, hold on. I can see it.
Does it say 1885? Or 1890?
Yeah, 1890. So here I'm holding a book and
it's teaching people. Well, it did.
On how to do correct spelling from the 1800s, I mean that to.
Me is full history. Right there and it does have a
(38:16):
newer lessons about pronouncing word maybe like some of the
generations. In this book.
Like. I mean, it's pretty cool.
It's got all. Kinds of lessons in IT and
words. So this is a good.
Example of a book to sell on eBay.
It's in good good condition for being.
(38:36):
Over a. Couple 100 years old 1890 and it
has the back and the front. It has the bind spine on it.
It means it's a little rough, but still.
So I would sell this. This one's a good one, and then
this one right here is another example.
Of a book. That's kind of in a little.
Bit of rough shape. And it's it's religion too.
(38:57):
You don't always. I don't always get into the
religion stuff. Or politics.
It's not my thing. But this one's also.
Written in the beginning of it, maybe it was just something that
they did back then, but it's kind of cool to know that, you
know? Whoever had this book?
Is probably passed away or someone's great grandmother or
something and that's their signature when they were in 3rd
(39:18):
grade it. Says and this.
Is a book about Bible stories and this was copyrighted.
And 1880. Two, I think the Philadelphia
Way, 1882. What's that 82?
Somewhere around those 18. Hundreds do.
(39:39):
They even have. TV back then only did TV get
invented. Oh wow, I just opened up to the
10. Commandments.
I mean, I, I just, I'm just sometimes like inspired by not
inspired. I'm just kind of like, wow,
that's cool. You know, just type of
intrigued, intrigued about some of the history.
But these books I would sell regardless how much I like them
(40:01):
because they're small and they fit into a 5 by 7 padded
envelope from the Dollar Tree. You get three of them for $1.25
and shipping. Is easy better being better?
Boom, put a little label on it by bitch and it gets picked up
by USPS from the front door and you just made some money and
then are you really missing the book once it's gone?
(40:24):
What book right? So but some books, you know,
don't always sell that way and. So when you're going to pick the
items that you're going. To sell on eBay, you don't.
It's that's what's the best thing about it is.
You don't have to be like tik. T.O.K and.
Facebook and you don't have to have a niche that you have.
To stick with like just if. You.
Are just selling cats. You don't have to just sell cat
(40:46):
items all the time. It's not like that on these
platforms. These platforms you could sell
whatever the fuck you want to sell and how much you wanted it
wherever you wanted it. I mean well technically there is
some items you can't sell like alcohol and and.
There's. There is some items, but you
know, you get what I'm saying. So I mean it's just you're not
put in a category of an algorithm on these platforms or
(41:09):
at least eBay or not if. You just.
Particularly if you bounce around and sell different items
because I sold, I sell everything from coins,
currencies to make up to vintagejewelry to Jordans to fishing
poles. To, I mean, anything all over
the place, so don't feel like you have to like.
Stick in there. This the certificate of.
(41:31):
Authenticity is very important on some items that you do need
to have them and when you post any item on eBay.
I only have a few. Because this thing's going to
die out, but. You want to make sure in your
description. That if if this is true, this.
Is something that I. Always do.
(41:51):
Always. And anything I sell online on
the title I always use all caps and if.
Bold is available. I'll use bold.
I use all caps. And in the beginning, I'll put a
an ostrich. I don't use emojis.
I use an ostrich and all caps I'll put vintage or antique or
NIBA. New inbox New with.
(42:12):
Tags. Rare, rare, vintage.
I've I'll put those keywords. In front of my item listing
every single time. Because if you go, if you.
Look up on eBay or Walmart or anything a pair.
Of socks. White socks.
You put it in the word white socks.
A whole shit load of them come down on the list and your
eyeballs literally go scan, scan, scan, scan.
(42:35):
But your brain will stop you on one that stands out to you and
you'll click on it. Well, if you have a posting on
eBay and you do just type it outboring blase like everybody
else. Your shit's not going to stand
out as much as anybody else that's flipping through pages,
you know, looking at stuff and browsing.
So if you have an like an ostrich or.
(42:56):
Like a. Fire emoji or something and you
have all caps. It's bold, it stands out and it
brings more presents. To a search if there's.
Tons of them out there, you knowwhat I mean?
So you're not just lost in the fish.
Seat. And that does.
Help. Trust me, you do stand out if
you do something like that. And it doesn't mean you're
screaming at someone or you're all texts, you know, all caps.
It means you're just trying to stand out and be bold and in the
(43:18):
description. I don't use AI for my
descriptions. Once in a blue moon I will, but
I don't like to be that lazy. I like to use my own
descriptions. And because I want it to come
out of my mouth, I always tell everybody that I am not a
professional of these items. I bought these items at a high
end estate. Sale.
I am not a professional these items.
They ask all. Questions prior to bidding.
(43:40):
There are no returns and these items come from a smoke free
and. A pet free environment, so a lot
of people like to have their items.
From smoke. Free.
Cigarettes. Marijuana, whatever, smoke free
and pet free, but you know, theydon't want fur hair on their
stuff, which you know, I I don'tI don't I won't buy something if
it's from the smoke smoke or, you know, animal offensive
(44:02):
house, because I don't want it. It's my choice.
It's I don't want to be have furon me from someone else.
'S pet and stuff. So, you know, be cautious and
careful, but if you do have something that you're selling
that is. From a smoke and but you know
pet environment. Tell them that be real because
if you don't and you know they dispute this and they fire back
at you and they, you know, file a complaint on you, that one
(44:25):
little incident could ruin your.Relationship with a platform.
With eBay with. Shopify with any of them you
know you could get easily just they won't even say anything to
you. They'll just hit a button by
bitch your accounts shut off I mean.
Literally I've had that happen. Like so you just got to be like
customer service savvy type of person.
At all times and think like how you want to be treated when you
(44:47):
sell stuff. Because if you misrepresent
yourself and misrepresent items,it's just going to backfire you
and you're going to lose your credentials and you're going to
lose, you know, your relationship with that platform
and try to open up another eBay account.
Go ahead, bitch. Try.
Because they have tracking software that tracks all that
stuff. Like they can find out if you
(45:07):
are acting as a female and you're a male and then you're
using like a totally different IP.
Address. AVPN from China, you know they
have a way to find out that information, and they will.
And they'll hold your money too.If you made money on that
account, buy money you don't even get a chance to.
Say a word, they block. You too.
You can't even call their. Customer service.
(45:28):
So it's no joke. It's.
The So you got to take it serious, but.
You can make money while you sleep, aren't we supposed?
To have that sort of side hustle.
Make money right you want a job or side hustle that you make
money while you sleep well eBay,Shopify and all them TikTok
shop, Facebook workplace all of them are ones that you can if
you get the system that I'm trying to teach you down and
obviously I can't teach this allin one fucking night so but
(45:50):
Mondays at 8:00 I'll be teachingmore tips on how to make 5 to
6000 bucks easy a month off of selling eBay and it's just.
It's once you. Get.
The the legits and the of. Where I'm going with my
technique and what I've done. It's I could post stuff.
I easily take Me 2 seconds before I even take me a long
(46:11):
time because I had to research and research and this and this
and this and this and but now that I've mastered eBay,
mastered it. I didn't experiment.
I've mastered it and you can take that.
Skill. Of what I teach you.
From that point of selling and use it anywhere, like I'm
telling you, I use the same techniques that I do on eBay in
(46:32):
real life, in person to person and on anywhere I want to sell
even. It doesn't have to be items
either, from services to contract services to the trades
world, anything. It's just psychology behind a
lot of this and it's etiquette. It's etiquette and common sense.
It's common sense and etiquette and psychology that you didn't
(46:52):
think was really involved until somebody points it out.
It's that type of thing. So your homework is to go around
your house and find some shit that you haven't touched in six
months to a year. It's collecting dust and it's
not doing anything valuable in your life besides just staring
at you and. Put it.
Aside and get it ready to sell. On a platform and.
EBay. Shop by whatever.
(47:12):
You're comfortable using. I mean, you can even look.
I found these in my drawer. I had.
Playbooks. I've totally forgot that I have
these. You think I'm really like
looking at these right now they're just collecting dust.
I'd rather. Have the money.
So. I mean, I'm going to sell these,
put these bitches up probably tonight.
Hey, bitches. So there's things that I mean
(47:36):
could be just sitting around in your doors, in your drum floor.
That is. You wouldn't have no idea that
it's even worth money. I sold a Barbie, a shoe.
You know, the original Barbie. She had that black and white
bathing suit on right? And she's worth a lot of money.
But I had. AI.
Think it was Jenny, like the little sister of the I think
1938. She was out.
Sitting on there from. Mattel But I just sold a pair of
(47:58):
Barbie shoes or pair of shoes that say.
Japan on them, not China. You don't want any China because
Japan. Shows that it's like.
Original and it's. Rare.
And it's antique. It's.
Valuable. So I sold a pair of shoes for
$42.00. Just a pair of Barbie shoes.
OK, people and people bought, but the ones.
That have haircuts. Ones that have been like
(48:20):
beheaded. You know when your little.
Girl, you put you. Give them a haircut and stuff.
They look like you know and thensome.
Some of them had no heads, no arms and stuff.
Bitches bought the shit. I mean at top.
Price too, like they put them inlittle doll hospitals and stuff.
I mean they literally. Bought every little knickknack,
(48:41):
A scarf or anything I made a killing off of like 1 little bag
of Barbie vintage stuff. I just.
I. Pieced it out.
Instead of selling it in one group.
Because a lot of people like to buy stuff that is pieced out.
They don't like to buy. Bunk.
Big chunk of shit. They like to have.
One item at a time and suck it, I mean.
There's some of us out there that like to buy big.
Chunks of shit. Because we resell.
It you know, type of thing or you know.
(49:03):
Or you're hoarder. Just playing hoarder but a lot
of people will buy more and spend more on items that are
individually posted and with the.
Perfect lighting, which I'll go over.
The lighting and how to post it and all.
That good stuff. But just be real in all your
posts and. You know, make sure the item is
just presentable. It does and any flaws, cracks or
(49:24):
anything in it you must. Declare it because trust.
Me it's I've been through not declaring.
It and it has bit me in the ass so bad.
It's kind of like I've had to make up so many excuses and lies
about white lies about why, you know, this, this and it was.
Just like why didn't I just tellthem from the the truth from the
beginning? But I was.
Afraid to like. Admit that I don't know because
(49:44):
I wanted to sell the. Item, but I didn't want to like
admit. That it had a.
Flaw. Because I didn't want them to
not buy it. And then little did I know that
it was not a good way of thinking and it just bit me in
the ass. It got me like, you know, in a
deeper hole of not having customer trust me anymore type
of thing. So don't do that.
