Speaker 1 (00:01):
I don't think I've ever met anybody who has more
or talks about more side hustles than Scott's.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Like be satisfied, You're not. You're never satisfied.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Just if something has value, I'm not just gonna throw
it in the trash.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
She's rich, but she's always got.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A silence yes and wants to be richer, Like I've
never met anybody who is not happy with not enough money.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
She wants more money than anything.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Her husband doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
They're about to own the third about swapping the.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Sold swapping the second.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, Constant, you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Could have bought a third house with all that money
you wasted with that lottery channel.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, okay, we're not that was that was a mistake.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, so Sky and her husband the Boo have gotten
into the eBay game. Shut up, but apparently it did
not go so well.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
We ain't done yet.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's time yet, completely uncensored and unading filtered except for
that part the the show's after show starts.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
There's so many things about my friend Sky that, as
I'm sitting here thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
About it, thout it I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Think I should.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I should n because Sky likes things that have a
like value to them. So whether it be a home,
like if she she won't buy a home unless there's
a resale value to it, which I get that one.
I get obviously, like if you eventually sell, but like
if you found the perfect home that's perfect in every way,
but you know the resale value is not great, would
(01:48):
you even bother?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, so because because honestly, if the resale value is
not there, then it's not perfect in every way.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
You go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So there's but there's so many things like that, whether
it's you know, these like comic book, these comic books
that her dad collected over the years, it's all about
the you know, value of them. There's so many other
things that she like wants because hey, what about the value.
Eventually it's gonna be it's gonna be worth something. It's
gonna be worth something, even though you don't really I've
never really heard you sell anything. No, but you look
(02:19):
at the value. Like that horrific painting you bought Hawaiian,
don't you that you that you paid way too much
money for but you you I couldn't convince you to
not buy it because you kept telling me, Bro, it's
gonna be worth so much money, so much more than
what I'm paid for it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm like, how do you know you're not an art dealers?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Come on, bro, bro, Bro.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That was a mix of too many my ties. We
had just hit a bonus. And yes, for some reason,
I thought I needed a piece of art because that
he's right. I know. I know nothing about art, like
I know zero. I don't have any art, but I
got it set like this is gonna be a great investment.
I love the way it looks, so I must buy
(03:03):
this in Hawaii and pay to have it shipped to
my house in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, everything's about the investment. Everything about her is what
the value is.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
And that's also a reason.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I mean, there's multiple reasons, but that's also a reason
I'm never into clothes or shoes or or.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Cars or cars.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, I will run my car into the ground, like
like we're just talking, but we got a new car.
He gets a new car like every other year. Oh
hell no, I'm like a ten fifteen year You'll see
me broken down on the side of the road before
I guess that's a new Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's
just so it goes both ways with my cheapness. But
then also with the stuff I actually do spend money
(03:46):
on or decide to keep.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
What's the uh is there a lot of value in
all the food you order on Uber Eat?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Nothing's going to make sense that one. That one's just
that's money.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Tickets was bad, that's but like, you know, the hell
she went through building this a du you know, like,
why do you need an a to you? You have
nobody ever stay at your house. It doesn't make any sense.
Resale value, bro, that's what it's about.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Brow But it just it just sits there.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, because you were didn't you think about renting it
out there?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
There's been many talks.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
At first, it was supposed to be my husband's grandmother,
who passed.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Away before it was finished.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It took us a little longer than expected to build
that thing, so that didn't work out. Then there was
my mom who ended up abandoning us. I don't know,
kind a better place, hot peace, She found a better
found a better family. Okay, that's a nice So yeah,
then we started to talk about renting it, but then
we realized that would be annoying because then somebody is
going to be living and.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
In the backyard.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, we had told you that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But none of that actually matters because we still own
it and it is still definitely increased value.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Ever want an investment on paper?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
What if they what if they passed the law eventually?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Like about about it the mental stuff and or a
d U s or like you know what I mean,
who knows? With California guys over here building the Towers
Sky Tower.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They change the drop back most things our grandfather did
in so like if it's it's good now it is.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
They can't go back in time and change the law.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Towersky, it's Sky's rules.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Whatever makes sense for She'll make it whatever.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
How it works.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's not Sky.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The Sky is all about the resale value, investment and whatever.
She doesn't just want something just to enjoy it. If
it doesn't have value, get get it out of here.
And so this is so interesting because the new side
hustle has started. Obviously the lottery channel that the the
the value of that was to win, but then didn't realize, well,
(05:55):
we're not guaranteed to win, so you wasted all that
money that didn't work.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now that was really there was a little talk about
laundry maats for a while.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
That was just my husband getting hyped on something.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
You were sort of into it in the beginning, then
you just lost interest in it.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
No, I mean, if.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You heard the value of you don't have to put
that much into it to get a lot of money
out of it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Right, The concept was good, but not for us, you
know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know then when
it started talking about well someone would actually have to
work at the laundry maat and blah blah blah, then
that's when it all fucking fell apart.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
So yeah, yeah, a lot of their side hustles are
side hustles, but a little work as possible begun their end.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It's a side puscles that you make you a ton
of money really fast, but not a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
My husband talks a lot about going into business with
people who have construction companies, and that's when I go.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, then what are you what is the value of.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Why Why wouldn't I mean, you're not bringing the money,
you're not bringing the expertise, you're not actually gonna work.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
If it's not bringing the money that was I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I think he just.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Wants to be a partner.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And then someone send him a check, I think, but
I don't think again, I don't think that's how business works.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The latest newest side hustle in Sky's world is eBay. Well,
you know, eBay has been around for a long time,
but Sky has things that she's held on too over
the years because she has truly believed there's value in them.
And now you've decided out of the blue, all right,
well now we should look into selling.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I guess, right, Yeah, I mean, I guess it technically
is a side hustle, but I just didn't think about
it that way.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
But yeah, you're right. So like we do.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I'm a big fan of the good Will cleanout, So
I'm always cleaning out you know, closets and different drawers and.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Whatever that's mostly closed.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So right, yeah, like mostly clothes sometimes you know, blankets, towels,
random knickknacks, things like that. So I do a good
Will delivery probably like once a month, but out.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But when I do that, everybody about it.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I mean, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's like delivery at least. I'm just I'm just giving
my wife. But have you ever heard me?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Miss but I'm giving? I mean that goes that's not
just like and how so stuff do you have to.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Do that so often?
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Like I do what I do goodwill clean out, Like
what's a year?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Maybe ours is like every three four months and it's
not a lot, like like old shirts or whatever.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I bring like four garbage bags, like like crash.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You have the same clothes you've had for two decades.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I have the same clothes I've had for three decades.
And eventually I'll be like, Okay, I now have eight
pairs of jeans. I should get rid of two of those.
I should get rid of two sweatshirts. And then my
daughter has the same thing. My husband wears four pieces
of clothes but has an entire closet. So really it's
like just old stuff that I'm slowly trying to part with.
(09:01):
But I don't know how, but I find a lot
of stuff every single time.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
If it's anything I feel has a value over about
twenty bucks for I don't know, over a decade, those
things have been going into a separate men that has
been being kept.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
In LA garage.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You like Hunter shirts, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I have a lot of rock memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Like for some reason, I had a pair of leather
pants that I wore once that were like really nice
leather pants, like I bring them in there.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
But most of the stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That the eminem Rihanna shirt that I have from their
concert they did isn't gonna be worth anything.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
In my Guns N'.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Roses Metallica shirt is selling for five hundred bucks on eBay.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Is it signed?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
No, I'd like to see that.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And the one that's.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Selling yeah from Day on the Green like back in
the nineties.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So anyway, So so lots.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It is nickknacks, though You're right, there's not much clothes
in there because there's not much value in closed.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
So lots of.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nowadays, like everybody's in those rock shirts.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, but a lot of them I don't want
to part with because I'm like courding my rock t shirts.
But there's a lot of like knickknacks in there, like
this mother Goose clock that was given to my daughter
that's made out of porcelain when she was little.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Like that when in the bin, and as.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like there's collectibles, you know, yeah, it's like one of
those porcelain collectible things. It's not something like you just
buy it like Target, like somebody bought it.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So I've been keeping those things forever. And a lot
of the stuff, honestly that's in those bins is Disney
promotional items that we've been given because Disney people, as
you know, Eddie, are pretty fanatic, and especially if it's
something that's like not available to the general public, like
people go crazy for.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That time popcorn buckets all that stuff. People go to
nuts for real. Yeah, oh yeah, especially people who don't
live near a Disneyland or Disney World. People from other countries.
They'll see, you know, like when the Guardians of the
Galaxy ride broke opened. We we got a bunch of
different little fun things for that ride, and you know,
(11:15):
somebody who's never gonna go on that ride, they'll buy
them for like crazy amounts of money.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah like that. So that's mainly what was in these bins.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Because we went for the first year ever Fake Tree
and we have nowhere to put fake Tree once Christmas
is over, So there's a spot in our garage that'd
be perfect, but.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
It's filled with the eBay bins.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So we decided, I guess this is the time where
we I mean, honestly, I was hoping that this was
something my husband was just going to slowly start doing home.
When he was home over the last over the last
night would be six years that we've talked about this.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I thought, oh, we.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Can get motivated and yeah, but you guys sends out
that never happened and the bins kept growing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Maybe you should talk to him instead of just you know,
talking to him through a podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, but that, But I figured he would get the
point when we'd be in the in the garage looking
at the bins being like, oh, we could really use
that space, me being like, yeah, we should really get
around to selling that on eBay, and then I stare
at him.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But that's not being directly. You're the least direct Figure
that out.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Would you figure out what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
If I don't want to do it, then yeah, I'm
going to pretend like I don't ask Robert.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I go hey, Robert, I go this this in the
next few days, which you might take, yes, well, I
just played the card of like we should do this.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Then if you're going to do.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
That staring at you, I don't blame him at all.
I think you're at home, I'm going to work. Should
we do this soon?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
So I never did.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I actually never did until finally I'm like, Okay, I'm
not going to just keep this tree in my living room,
you know, all year long. I'm sorry, Eddie, I'm not
going to do it. So we need this garage space,
so we cannot put off the eBay bay.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Sale any longer. And so we do it.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You know, of course we're doing We're doing it together.
And it's a lot more fucking difficult than I thought.
You have to weigh everything with the box, so you
know exactly the shipping, so you have to know the
weight of the box, the weight of the packaging. So
we do all that and put everything up on eBay.
I'm checking all the prices if things have sold previously,
(13:29):
pricing things accordingly. Great, We put all our listings up
and great nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Are you doing auctions or are you doing a set
price best offer?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, so we did set price, like this is the price,
but you can make it or make an offer, right,
So that happens, and uh literally we get zero action
on all.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Zero zero zero. So that's really frustrating.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And I know, despite what said here, we don't have
a very big house. We don't have much storage space,
so this stuff has taken over our guest room, which
is the spot where we wrap presents, and so finally
I said, okay, nobody wants this.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Clearly we got this wrong. The demand for this is
not there.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I know, like the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff specifically
that you talked about, nobody interested. There was this cross
body bag that when we first got it as a
media gift, it sold. People were selling them for like
one hundred bucks. Nobody wants it, not even for like
thirty dollars, like crazy. So I'm like, okay, clearly I
don't get eBay. So we take it all down. I said,
(14:44):
we need this space back. Let's put it on offer
up and if it doesn't go on offer Up in
a week, then it's just all going to have to
go to Goodwill. Like that's just it, because I can't
store this anymore. We've tried our best to sell it,
so that's what we're gonna do, Okay. So we put
it all on off her Up in kind of like bundles,
(15:05):
and we put like super cheap prices, and we finally
get a hit on one of the items. It was
a mix of Halloween Disney stuff and Star Wars Disney stuff.
The guy stuff you've already gotten that's what my husband said,
does that you want this stuff for Christmas? I'm like,
he already, he already got it? Well, I mean he
(15:25):
was with me when we were gifted. I mean, just
gotta sell it, okay, I mean, do you already have
it all? I don't think you want to you have
you want plenty, you have plenty.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
So that's the.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
First thing that gets a hit. And so we're like
heck yeah sure.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
We're like heck yeah, sure, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So we set up a time for the person to come,
and so the person comes to the house.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
But I am frizzy hair.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I I'm brollis and I got fuzzy socks on. So
I don't want to go out in the front yard
and deal with this. And so I tell the hubby like, hey,
can you, you know, bring it out?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Actually tell him?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Or did you say so are we who is going
to deal with the person coming.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
To are going to do this? No?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
This one I was actually direct about. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It was kind of shocking, and I think he was
like what huh?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
But he did it, so.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, handle the transaction, handle the transactions.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Talking to humans.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, this is crazy, butte no.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
But then I realized, oh, I don't know if this
was such a good idea, because all of a sudden
he runs back in the house and you know, he's
like moving with some urgency because he doesn't deal with
people very often, so he feels like, you know, everybody's
in a rush and he's got to move fast. So
he runs in and he grabs all of the Disney
bags we have, so probably like I don't know, probably
(16:51):
three hundred bucks worth of stuff we have listed because
we have I don't know, we have like six different
groups of stuff each like fifty bucks eats, right, And
so he comes and he grabs all of them, and
he goes, oh, I just want to show him the
other stuff. And I'm like okay, and I'm thinking my head, well,
they probably have offer up if they looked at our account.
They know that we have all this stuff lifted. Great, okay,
(17:12):
what have you if you go yeah, if you're making
a sale.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You brought your kids.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Okay, I'm like cool, Okay, look at this guy work
in it.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
So he goes out there with all the bags and
walks in empty handed. He sold them all and I'm
like what And he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Have a new career opportunity for this guy.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And he goes, yeah, he goes, how crazy is this.
It's a family. They have all their family coming into town.
They're all taking their first trip to Disney. It's really expensive.
They could barely afford the tickets, so they were looking
for like ears and merch and stuff to make the
visit fun because they know they can't afford to buy
it in the park. He goes, so, you know, she
said she had a hundred b center wallet and I
(18:02):
gave her everything. So she had already planned on spending
fifty bucks on one bundle.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Gave her six more bundles of stuff for an additional
fifty dollars. And he goes, it was all the money
she had in her wallet.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Story, Yeah, I mean, oh my, all the money she
had in her wallet.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Dude, they can Venmo? You ll you talking about?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I can tell you where an ATM is down the
street there?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, Venmo cash a check?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, the husband something.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
The husband was with her, so like, did you have
no money? Did you check his wallet? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Sky and her family love to do nice things and
tell you about it, so maybe that's what this was.
He's like, I'm doing some really nice and then we
could tell everybody about it.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, how did you feel about this transaction?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Do you like helping people?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I did you hear the SOB story? The story?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I mean, we've done a lot of things on offer
up before, where like people are are so shady, they
are so they they're taking it to sell it at
the flea market, like you know, I mean, they'll tell
you all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Right, these people are running away with hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
They're going right, They're going no, not at all, not
at all.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
So, I mean, you know, nice if said story is true.
But I I don't understand why my husband did ask
about Medmo. Why he didn't just give them maybe one
or two more bags, not.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
All of them. I mean, okay, there there's.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Some logic to that, but or is he he realizes
if he starts doing this by himself, she's gonna ask
to do more stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So he intentionally ducked it up.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That's what happened.
I don't think I've ever met anybody who has more
or talks about more side hustles than Scott's.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Like be satisfied, You're not. You're never satisfied.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Just if something has value, I'm not just gonna throw
it in the trash.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
She's rich, but she's always got.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A silence yes and wants to be richer, Like I've
never met anybody who is not happy with not enough money.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
She wants more money than anything.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Her husband doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
They're about to own the third about swapping the.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Sold swapping the second.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, Constant, you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Could have bought a third house with all that money
you wasted with that lottery channel.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, okay, we're not that was that was a mistake.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, so Sky and her husband the Boo have gotten
into the eBay game. Shut up, but apparently it did
not go so well.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
We ain't done yet.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
It's time yet, completely uncensored and unading filtered except for
that part the the show's after show starts.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
There's so many things about my friend Sky that, as
I'm sitting here thinking.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
About it, thout it I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Think I should.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I should n because Sky likes things that have a
like value to them. So whether it be a home,
like if she she won't buy a home unless there's
a resale value to it, which I get that one.
I get obviously, like if you eventually sell, but like
if you found the perfect home that's perfect in every way,
but you know the resale value is not great, would
(01:48):
you even bother?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, so because because honestly, if the resale value is
not there, then it's not perfect in every way.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
You go, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So there's but there's so many things like that, whether
it's you know, these like comic book, these comic books
that her dad collected over the years, it's all about
the you know, value of them. There's so many other
things that she like wants because hey, what about the value.
Eventually it's gonna be it's gonna be worth something. It's
gonna be worth something, even though you don't really I've
never really heard you sell anything. No, but you look
(02:19):
at the value. Like that horrific painting you bought Hawaiian,
don't you that you that you paid way too much
money for but you you I couldn't convince you to
not buy it because you kept telling me, Bro, it's
gonna be worth so much money, so much more than
what I'm paid for it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm like, how do you know you're not an art dealers?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Come on, bro, bro, Bro.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
That was a mix of too many my ties. We
had just hit a bonus. And yes, for some reason,
I thought I needed a piece of art because that
he's right. I know. I know nothing about art, like
I know zero. I don't have any art, but I
got it set like this is gonna be a great investment.
I love the way it looks, so I must buy
(03:03):
this in Hawaii and pay to have it shipped to
my house in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, everything's about the investment. Everything about her is what
the value is.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
And that's also a reason.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I mean, there's multiple reasons, but that's also a reason
I'm never into clothes or shoes or or.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Cars or cars.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, I will run my car into the ground, like
like we're just talking, but we got a new car.
He gets a new car like every other year. Oh
hell no, I'm like a ten fifteen year You'll see
me broken down on the side of the road before
I guess that's a new Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's
just so it goes both ways with my cheapness. But
then also with the stuff I actually do spend money
(03:46):
on or decide to keep.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
What's the uh is there a lot of value in
all the food you order on Uber Eat?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Nothing's going to make sense that one. That one's just
that's money.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Tickets was bad, that's but like, you know, the hell
she went through building this a du you know, like,
why do you need an a to you? You have
nobody ever stay at your house. It doesn't make any sense.
Resale value, bro, that's what it's about.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Brow But it just it just sits there.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, because you were didn't you think about renting it
out there?
Speaker 6 (04:18):
There's been many talks.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
At first, it was supposed to be my husband's grandmother,
who passed.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Away before it was finished.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
It took us a little longer than expected to build
that thing, so that didn't work out. Then there was
my mom who ended up abandoning us. I don't know,
kind a better place, hot peace, She found a better
found a better family. Okay, that's a nice So yeah,
then we started to talk about renting it, but then
we realized that would be annoying because then somebody is
going to be living and.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
In the backyard.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, we had told you that.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But none of that actually matters because we still own
it and it is still definitely increased value.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Ever want an investment on paper?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
What if they what if they passed the law eventually?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Like about about it the mental stuff and or a
d U s or like you know what I mean,
who knows? With California guys over here building the Towers
Sky Tower.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
They change the drop back most things our grandfather did
in so like if it's it's good now it is.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
They can't go back in time and change the law.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Towersky, it's Sky's rules.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Whatever makes sense for She'll make it whatever.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
How it works.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's not Sky.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
The Sky is all about the resale value, investment and whatever.
She doesn't just want something just to enjoy it. If
it doesn't have value, get get it out of here.
And so this is so interesting because the new side
hustle has started. Obviously the lottery channel that the the
the value of that was to win, but then didn't realize, well,
(05:55):
we're not guaranteed to win, so you wasted all that
money that didn't work.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Now that was really there was a little talk about
laundry maats for a while.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
That was just my husband getting hyped on something.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
You were sort of into it in the beginning, then
you just lost interest in it.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
No, I mean, if.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You heard the value of you don't have to put
that much into it to get a lot of money
out of it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Right, The concept was good, but not for us, you
know what I mean? Like, yeah, I know then when
it started talking about well someone would actually have to
work at the laundry maat and blah blah blah, then
that's when it all fucking fell apart.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
So yeah, yeah, a lot of their side hustles are
side hustles, but a little work as possible begun their end.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It's a side puscles that you make you a ton
of money really fast, but not a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
My husband talks a lot about going into business with
people who have construction companies, and that's when I go.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, then what are you what is the value of.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Why Why wouldn't I mean, you're not bringing the money,
you're not bringing the expertise, you're not actually gonna work.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
If it's not bringing the money that was I don't.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I think he just.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Wants to be a partner.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And then someone send him a check, I think, but
I don't think again, I don't think that's how business works.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The latest newest side hustle in Sky's world is eBay. Well,
you know, eBay has been around for a long time,
but Sky has things that she's held on too over
the years because she has truly believed there's value in them.
And now you've decided out of the blue, all right,
well now we should look into selling.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I guess, right, Yeah, I mean, I guess it technically
is a side hustle, but I just didn't think about
it that way.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
But yeah, you're right. So like we do.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I'm a big fan of the good Will cleanout, So
I'm always cleaning out you know, closets and different drawers and.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Whatever that's mostly closed.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So right, yeah, like mostly clothes sometimes you know, blankets, towels,
random knickknacks, things like that. So I do a good
Will delivery probably like once a month, but out.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But when I do that, everybody about it.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I mean, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's like delivery at least. I'm just I'm just giving
my wife. But have you ever heard me?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Miss but I'm giving? I mean that goes that's not
just like and how so stuff do you have to.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Do that so often?
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Like I do what I do goodwill clean out, Like
what's a year?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Maybe ours is like every three four months and it's
not a lot, like like old shirts or whatever.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I bring like four garbage bags, like like crash.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You have the same clothes you've had for two decades.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I have the same clothes I've had for three decades.
And eventually I'll be like, Okay, I now have eight
pairs of jeans. I should get rid of two of those.
I should get rid of two sweatshirts. And then my
daughter has the same thing. My husband wears four pieces
of clothes but has an entire closet. So really it's
like just old stuff that I'm slowly trying to part with.
(09:01):
But I don't know how, but I find a lot
of stuff every single time.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
If it's anything I feel has a value over about
twenty bucks for I don't know, over a decade, those
things have been going into a separate men that has
been being kept.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
In LA garage.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
You like Hunter shirts, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I have a lot of rock memorabilia.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Like for some reason, I had a pair of leather
pants that I wore once that were like really nice
leather pants, like I bring them in there.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
But most of the stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
That the eminem Rihanna shirt that I have from their
concert they did isn't gonna be worth anything.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
In my Guns N'.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Roses Metallica shirt is selling for five hundred bucks on eBay.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Is it signed?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
No, I'd like to see that.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And the one that's.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Selling yeah from Day on the Green like back in
the nineties.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So anyway, So so lots.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It is nickknacks, though You're right, there's not much clothes
in there because there's not much value in closed.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
So lots of.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nowadays, like everybody's in those rock shirts.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, but a lot of them I don't want
to part with because I'm like courding my rock t shirts.
But there's a lot of like knickknacks in there, like
this mother Goose clock that was given to my daughter
that's made out of porcelain when she was little.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Like that when in the bin, and as.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like there's collectibles, you know, yeah, it's like one of
those porcelain collectible things. It's not something like you just
buy it like Target, like somebody bought it.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So I've been keeping those things forever. And a lot
of the stuff, honestly that's in those bins is Disney
promotional items that we've been given because Disney people, as
you know, Eddie, are pretty fanatic, and especially if it's
something that's like not available to the general public, like
people go crazy for.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
That time popcorn buckets all that stuff. People go to
nuts for real. Yeah, oh yeah, especially people who don't
live near a Disneyland or Disney World. People from other countries.
They'll see, you know, like when the Guardians of the
Galaxy ride broke opened. We we got a bunch of
different little fun things for that ride, and you know,
(11:15):
somebody who's never gonna go on that ride, they'll buy
them for like crazy amounts of money.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah like that. So that's mainly what was in these bins.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Because we went for the first year ever Fake Tree
and we have nowhere to put fake Tree once Christmas
is over, So there's a spot in our garage that'd
be perfect, but.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
It's filled with the eBay bins.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
So we decided, I guess this is the time where
we I mean, honestly, I was hoping that this was
something my husband was just going to slowly start doing home.
When he was home over the last over the last
night would be six years that we've talked about this.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
I thought, oh, we.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Can get motivated and yeah, but you guys sends out
that never happened and the bins kept growing.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Maybe you should talk to him instead of just you know,
talking to him through a podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, but that, But I figured he would get the
point when we'd be in the in the garage looking
at the bins being like, oh, we could really use
that space, me being like, yeah, we should really get
around to selling that on eBay, and then I stare
at him.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
But that's not being directly. You're the least direct Figure
that out.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Would you figure out what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
If I don't want to do it, then yeah, I'm
going to pretend like I don't ask Robert.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
I go hey, Robert, I go this this in the
next few days, which you might take, yes, well, I
just played the card of like we should do this.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Then if you're going to do.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
That staring at you, I don't blame him at all.
I think you're at home, I'm going to work. Should
we do this soon?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
No?
Speaker 6 (12:49):
So I never did.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
I actually never did until finally I'm like, Okay, I'm
not going to just keep this tree in my living room,
you know, all year long. I'm sorry, Eddie, I'm not
going to do it. So we need this garage space,
so we cannot put off the eBay bay.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Sale any longer. And so we do it.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You know, of course we're doing We're doing it together.
And it's a lot more fucking difficult than I thought.
You have to weigh everything with the box, so you
know exactly the shipping, so you have to know the
weight of the box, the weight of the packaging. So
we do all that and put everything up on eBay.
I'm checking all the prices if things have sold previously,
(13:29):
pricing things accordingly. Great, We put all our listings up
and great nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Are you doing auctions or are you doing a set
price best offer?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, so we did set price, like this is the price,
but you can make it or make an offer, right,
So that happens, and uh literally we get zero action
on all.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
Zero zero zero. So that's really frustrating.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And I know, despite what said here, we don't have
a very big house. We don't have much storage space,
so this stuff has taken over our guest room, which
is the spot where we wrap presents, and so finally
I said, okay, nobody wants this.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Clearly we got this wrong. The demand for this is
not there.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I know, like the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff specifically
that you talked about, nobody interested. There was this cross
body bag that when we first got it as a
media gift, it sold. People were selling them for like
one hundred bucks. Nobody wants it, not even for like
thirty dollars, like crazy. So I'm like, okay, clearly I
don't get eBay. So we take it all down. I said,
(14:44):
we need this space back. Let's put it on offer
up and if it doesn't go on offer Up in
a week, then it's just all going to have to
go to Goodwill. Like that's just it, because I can't
store this anymore. We've tried our best to sell it,
so that's what we're gonna do, Okay. So we put
it all on off her Up in kind of like bundles,
(15:05):
and we put like super cheap prices, and we finally
get a hit on one of the items. It was
a mix of Halloween Disney stuff and Star Wars Disney stuff.
The guy stuff you've already gotten that's what my husband said,
does that you want this stuff for Christmas? I'm like,
he already, he already got it? Well, I mean he
(15:25):
was with me when we were gifted. I mean, just
gotta sell it, okay, I mean, do you already have
it all? I don't think you want to you have
you want plenty, you have plenty.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
So that's the.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
First thing that gets a hit. And so we're like
heck yeah sure.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
We're like heck yeah, sure, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
So we set up a time for the person to come,
and so the person comes to the house.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
But I am frizzy hair.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I I'm brollis and I got fuzzy socks on. So
I don't want to go out in the front yard
and deal with this. And so I tell the hubby like, hey,
can you, you know, bring it out?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Actually tell him?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Or did you say so are we who is going
to deal with the person coming.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
To are going to do this? No?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
This one I was actually direct about. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
It was kind of shocking, and I think he was
like what huh?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
But he did it, so.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, handle the transaction, handle the transactions.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Talking to humans.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, this is crazy, butte no.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
But then I realized, oh, I don't know if this
was such a good idea, because all of a sudden
he runs back in the house and you know, he's
like moving with some urgency because he doesn't deal with
people very often, so he feels like, you know, everybody's
in a rush and he's got to move fast. So
he runs in and he grabs all of the Disney
bags we have, so probably like I don't know, probably
(16:51):
three hundred bucks worth of stuff we have listed because
we have I don't know, we have like six different
groups of stuff each like fifty bucks eats, right, And
so he comes and he grabs all of them, and
he goes, oh, I just want to show him the
other stuff. And I'm like okay, and I'm thinking my head, well,
they probably have offer up if they looked at our account.
They know that we have all this stuff lifted. Great, okay,
(17:12):
what have you if you go yeah, if you're making
a sale.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You brought your kids.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Okay, I'm like cool, Okay, look at this guy work
in it.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
So he goes out there with all the bags and
walks in empty handed. He sold them all and I'm
like what And he goes.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Have a new career opportunity for this guy.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And he goes, yeah, he goes, how crazy is this.
It's a family. They have all their family coming into town.
They're all taking their first trip to Disney. It's really expensive.
They could barely afford the tickets, so they were looking
for like ears and merch and stuff to make the
visit fun because they know they can't afford to buy
it in the park. He goes, so, you know, she
said she had a hundred b center wallet and I
(18:02):
gave her everything. So she had already planned on spending
fifty bucks on one bundle.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Gave her six more bundles of stuff for an additional
fifty dollars. And he goes, it was all the money
she had in her wallet.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Story, Yeah, I mean, oh my, all the money she
had in her wallet.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Dude, they can Venmo? You ll you talking about?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I can tell you where an ATM is down the
street there?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, Venmo cash a check?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, the husband something.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
The husband was with her, so like, did you have
no money? Did you check his wallet? Now?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
Sky and her family love to do nice things and
tell you about it, so maybe that's what this was.
He's like, I'm doing some really nice and then we
could tell everybody about it.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, how did you feel about this transaction?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Do you like helping people?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I did you hear the SOB story? The story?
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I mean, we've done a lot of things on offer
up before, where like people are are so shady, they
are so they they're taking it to sell it at
the flea market, like you know, I mean, they'll tell
you all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Right, these people are running away with hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
They're going right, They're going no, not at all, not
at all.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
So, I mean, you know, nice if said story is true.
But I I don't understand why my husband did ask
about Medmo. Why he didn't just give them maybe one
or two more bags, not.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
All of them. I mean, okay, there there's.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Some logic to that, but or is he he realizes
if he starts doing this by himself, she's gonna ask
to do more stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
So he intentionally ducked it up.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That's what happened.
