Not sure what my coffee is trying to communicate to me but I think it’s trying to tell me “it’s all gonna be okay”. 😂

Does your local thrift store suffer from Staleinventoryitis? 😂

Same inventory. Same prices. Less customers.

RIP Merced Thrift Center. You knew how to keep inventory moving and customers hooked.

Other thrift stores should take notes!

How long has accepting offers on eBay been a competition? 😂

I’ve been selling on eBay for years, and somehow I missed this one.

Apparently, you can accept multiple offers on the same item, and the first buyer to pay gets it.

So accepting an offer doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve secured the item anymore?

How long has this been a thing? And have you ever accepted someone’s offer only to have another buyer swoop in and buy it first?

Always check old tools for stamps.

Those five little characters, L&N RR, stand for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, a company that helped build and connect America for over a century.

That little stamp can turn an ordinary $5 True Temper No 1224 hammer into a $40 piece of American history.

A small reminder of the blue-collar men and women who helped build this country and kept it moving.

Sometimes the smallest details tell the biggest stories.

Would you have noticed those markings or walked right past them?

So many people made fun of me for needing 3 cups of coffee to get through the swing shift. But I haven’t made fun of them for how much oxygen it takes them to get through the day. 😂

The eBay notification I dream of waking up to one morning.

“We make money when you make money.”

Imagine that being the business model again.

What’s your dream eBay notification?

I honestly think that FlipNparts is one of the most realest reseller content creators in the game right now. When I watch his videos and see the detailed tips he is giving away, I can’t believe he only has 301 followers. Check him out and give him a follow if you enjoy his content as much as I do. He also is very good at engagement as well. He is always commenting on my page and helping me out in so many ways.

There’s a strange moral conflict that comes with being a reseller.

In December 1987, someone received this Farmers Insurance “Order of the Blue Vase” award, an achievement inspired by the 1921 book The Go-Getter.

The story follows Bill Peck, a disabled World War I veteran tasked by his boss with finding and delivering a particular blue vase before an evening train departs.

Sounds simple, right?

Except the store is closed, the address is wrong, the vase costs $2,000, and nearly every obstacle imaginable stands in his way.

Peck refuses to quit. He tracks down the vase, finds a way to pay for it, misses the train, and eventually catches up with it in the middle of the night to complete his mission.

The entire ordeal was secretly designed to test his determination. The blue vase became a symbol of someone who refuses to give up when the odds are stacked against them.

Now imagine working hard enough to earn an award representing that very philosophy.

Nearly 39 years later, I’m standing at an estate sale buying that same symbol of someone’s determination for $2.50 because it’s half-off day.

To them, it represented an achievement worth celebrating. To me, it was a bargain worth picking up.

And somewhere between those two perspectives, I can’t help but feel a little conflicted.

Do you ever struggle with the moral side of reselling, knowing that some of the things we buy for pennies once meant the world to someone?

Oh look, eBay did another thing nobody asked for. 😂

Instead of helping sellers make more sales, we’re making shipping discounts more visible. Because apparently THAT was the missing piece.

What do you think? Helpful update or another solution looking for a problem?

Don’t forgot check out my upcoming video for tips on how to get more Facebook marketplace Sails ⛵️ 😂
