But uh, this is during covid 27 00:01:57,380 --> 00:02:01,220 I used to own a moving and junk-calling business for seven years and when kovat happened 28 00:02:01,220 --> 00:02:03,220 We were you know, you really couldn't go to people's houses anymore 29 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,920 So I was born in the house in the house board and I had five thousand dollars 30 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,920 And I was like I watched like a YouTube video and like Harry tornado popped up 31 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,160 He was like going like thrifting to Goodwill or something 32 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,120 and then he went to Walmart and bought something for like this is a 10 and 33 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,080 looked it up and so worth like 30 and I was like 34 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,880 Oh like I have a car I have a Walmart like I could probably do that and 35 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,640 Then he went I went to a couple good wheels and had no idea what I was looking for 36 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,200 I was like looking at like shirts and pants and I have no idea like I will never sell clothing my life. Don't care and 37 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,120 I've always grown up around video games. So I'm like very heavily focused on video games 38 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,920 But like that's impossible to survive at a thrift store route selling video games 39 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,960 so it kind of did everything in the beginning, but a watch Harry tornado video and 40 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,680 did some retail arbitrage was already physically go to the store sell for more online and 41 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:58,320 I went that same day and I went my first ever big big score for retail arbitrage was maybe Josh or 42 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,400 Mike and put up a used a picture of their something else in your link or something 43 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,040 But it was a snap squad little Jurassic Park toy like really like the night like this big and it retailed for $4.99 44 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,960 and it sold for $70 like every hour on eBay and 45 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,400 I found 26 of them at the store and now it's just like floor. There's like there's no way there's no way 46 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,560 There's no way and so I bought them all for five bucks apiece. I put them up put one up for 40 gone 47 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,560 I was like, oh 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,600 Okay 49 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:32,720 50 gone 60 gone and they all sold around like with like feet and discounts and stuff maybe like around $60 50 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,560 So I turned was that like a hundred and forty into probably like fifteen hundred twelve hundred dollars after fees and stuff 51 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,200 so that was like when I was like my aha moment where I was like like this is real like 52 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:50,000 There is definitely potential in this and then while during kovat, you know moving business couldn't happen 53 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,040 So I say went like every local like toy store Fred Meyer 54 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,560 Walmart, I'm in the Pacific Northwest 55 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,480 my targets and like I bought I don't know if I had one down here, but that I E yo yo like ring scanner and 56 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,240 then like just sat there and scanned everything on eBay and like oh like 57 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,240 This sells for 10 and it sells on eBay for 30 and I didn't understand beginning like 58 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,600 Sell through I didn't understand like your actual take-home profit because you buy something for 10 and sells it for 30 59 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,600 You don't actually get 30 bucks 60 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,600 especially if you do free shipping, which is what I was doing because I don't know why I did that but I still do it but 61 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,000 but uh that kind of hurt me so that that first like five thousand maybe turned into like 62 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,080 Maybe like nine after fees and whatnot. I didn't understand sell through and like some of the stuff 63 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080 I still had until like a month ago 64 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,920 so I'm curious like 65 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,360 At what point did you decide you're not going to be an everything seller and you're just going to sell video games 66 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Like did you get tired of like having crap all around the house or was it just like you wanted to try something different? 67 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,440 So I was like in the beginning I was selling everything I can get my hands on and accept clothing and 68 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,000 I had my wife not my now my girlfriend the time my now wife wanted it to 69 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,320 Me to propose and buy a wedding ring and whatnot and I had like I played competitive yugioh for a really long time 70 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,000 So I get very expensive like childhood collection and I was like, hmm 71 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,800 I wonder if I can sell TCG like trading cards on eBay and I buy a ring and 72 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,680 then I was blown away by how expensive some of the stuff was I've had forever and ever and ever and 73 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,520 I sold some of that stuff and ended up getting her ring and then there was still money left over and 74 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,560 I went down a whole rabbit hole of selling trading cards on eBay and like 75 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,040 Spreading my time so thin I was like not profitable like 76 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,120 Granted I was profitable but like Johnny helped me out a lot during this like he's the reason why I stopped that whole train 77 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Like I was spending so much time by chasing like 15 cents 78 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:52,680 On like a trading card granted like you can be very successful trading cards and selling cards online 79 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,080 But I just wasn't for me because I also sell used furniture. We'll get into that later on but like my time 80 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,120 Selling a used couch is like way more valuable than selling 81 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,080 15 cards for two bucks or something 82 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,080 but uh 83 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,840 I think I did like everything on eBay. I started september 2020 84 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,280 Realistically probably like 15 to 16 months. I've just like anything and everything just to build some kind of capital 85 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,560 And like recoup my initial five thousand bass I can 86 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440 and then it wasn't until like 87 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,720 Maybe like a legit like 88 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,880 Three to like nine months ago somewhere like in that period 89 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,920 Is like when I zoned in like heavily into video games because I built up more capital 90 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,200 So now I buy I didn't buy like a lot of stuff like I was like 91 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Because I built up more capital. So now I buy I did really really good buying stuff locally 92 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,560 around like 30 price trading.com value, so if something is worth 93 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 A whole collection worth two thousand. I'd probably pay like six hundred dollars 94 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,840 Because on average the low end stuff is worthless, but the high end stuff kind of balances you out more or less 95 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:05,800 And I did that while selling and getting free couches that also like skyrocketed my capital to start buying more and more and more 96 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,600 I turn a free couch into five hundred dollars consistently every day is just crazy, but it's definitely doable. Trust me 97 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,480 and 98 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,600 Yeah, as of the last like I guess you had the you had the junk business. So like the furniture 99 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,080 Kind of was already up your alley 100 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,560 But I mean some of the flips you post it's just insane to me that you'd literally get these items for free and you sell them 101 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440 For a thousand dollars like over a weekend. It's like 102 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,600 It's like give me a little bit of insight on the furniture side of your business 103 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,880 So I had to go back a little bit because when we had the moving business 104 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:48,280 After covid we we kind of kept afloat because we did like staging which is like what a house gets put on the market 105 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,800 We like deliver the furniture from a client's warehouse blah blah blah 106 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,040 And then so I touched a lot of furniture like high-end designer stuff 107 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,080 So I kind of had an eye like oh like hmm. That's cool. Like what's that brand and like oh mental note cool 108 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,160 And then I'm like, oh how much did you buy that for? Oh, you bought that couch for 7200? 109 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,160 What the heck that's garbage, but 110 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,480 People buy it because it looks nice 111 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,640 And that kind of like started my brain trickling down that way and then when the junk company 112 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,360 Was able to open back up it went the whole time during covid but like full force 113 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960 Is we had people that bring the stuff to the curb and we just drive by pick it up and go 114 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,320 So like we didn't have to go in people's homes and that like saved a lot of time 115 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:33,400 And I started like I think the first ever like couch I sold was like we got for free. I was paid actually to take it 116 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,000 Someone paid us $800 to clear out their whole garage 117 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,840 And I sold that couch for 50 bucks in like an hour. I was like, oh 118 00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:46,680 50 bucks is 50 bucks. Like, you know, I could buy a bottle if I wanted to and have fun with my friends or whatever the time 119 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,640 and then like oh like 120 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,080 I do 100 bucks and kind of just like started like leveling up that way 121 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:58,520 And like, you know, no matter what I was paid. I was profitable no matter what like I was getting paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars 122 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,040 Just to take this stuff 123 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,640 And majority of the time I never went to the dump because it all got like sold off 124 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:10,760 Or like donated or I kept it the uh, the balancing act, right? So you're you're getting the furniture 125 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,440 I know you still do it with your wife and you know, you're you're building up your you know, you switch from ebay to amazon 126 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,680 How do you balance both of these things? Because I think it's like 127 00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:26,600 Balance both of these things because I feel like the furniture is kind of like if somebody wants to couch go on like they're just 128 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Going to want it going right away 129 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920 They don't want to hold it for you for the day or even you know two days 130 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,440 They just like hey get this out of here compared to amazon. So like kind of can work it work it into your schedule 131 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,120 So how does that look for you? 132 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Like where i'm at now i'm pretty like deep into the couch reselling furniture reselling game 133 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,200 I have like a very good eye and I have like a a threshold of $400 134 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480 I'm not gonna if I can't sell for $400. I'm not gonna go get it 135 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,840 So that's like a really good threshold because in the beginning I was getting like oh like that's like 30 bucks 136 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,120 And you know 30 bucks or 30 bucks at the time when you're broke 137 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,520 But uh now I have a threshold and now so I sell 138 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,080 Used furniture especially like couches and seating wearing stuff like that my wife 139 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,920 If you guys want to see what we sell her instagram is miles underscore mercantile and mine's miles dot furniture 140 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:18,280 And you can see what we're selling again like she specializes now in like high-end curated antiques like primitive rustic farmhouse type stuff 141 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,280 And like, you know, we're buying stuff for 142 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,640 100 bucks selling it for 2100 and stuff like that consistently 143 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Just feel like a good eye. I mean built up a social media following you clean all the you clean all the furniture 144 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,480 Couches yes, depending like in the beginning if I i'd go get a free couch and a heartbeat 145 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600 Because I know I can clean it and I could I sell it 146 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,240 But now if I can buy a couch for two three hundred four hundred dollars and sell it for eight hundred nine hundred a thousand dollars 147 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,800 Already clean like i'm gonna go get that one 148 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,600 And uh now my best friend my roommate, uh billy 149 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,960 He also started selling furniture too and his first month his p profit of 4600 dollars just in case he like 150 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,840 Copying what I did. I was like, hey like you go get that 151 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:05,480 And then that was his take on after I took my percent off the top from like helping him like my knowledge. Basically he paid for 152 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,640 And now like if there's a good couch like he'll go get it and what was like i'll take a percent of it or whatever 153 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,640 And I don't have to go get it anymore. Really? 154 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,280 Unless it's like really good then like okay.

Does it have a different texture to it? Is it made out of super rare? 159 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,600 It's all just brand 160 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,000 That's it.

I was like, oh like 178 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,600 That looks cool. But like is it what I think it is? 179 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,320 And like let's say I find it on facebook and i'll screenshot it put it in a google image search and then 180 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,440 It'll pop up all these results and like no no. Oh, there it is. Oh, that's by west elm 181 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560 Like that's a retail of four thousand dollar couch and they want 30 bucks 182 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,800 I'm gonna go get it 183 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,400 I'm gonna go get it and then um, so like yeah, what makes a high end couch is brand 184 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:16,360 Typically, they like actually use wood or like walnut or some type of higher end wood and like higher end fabrics 185 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,080 And it's generally more heavy 186 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,800 So that means, you know and higher end cushions and you know, that's kind of stuff and they'll also 187 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,120 the brand carries a lot of weight like some of the really top top stuff i've sold is like 188 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:34,140 Restoration hardware cloud couch which like retails like 25 30 000 for a freaking couch 189 00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:38,700 Well, here's what i'm trying to figure out. So you're looking at this thing either on your phone or computer 190 00:13:39,260 --> 00:13:42,700 How do you know to go get it without wasting your time? 191 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:45,900 Like because you're just looking at a photo 192 00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:49,580 Um, I have like an automatic like 193 00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:54,780 Send message.

Bye i'm out 195 00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:05,900 And uh, like I asked a lot of questions at first unless I like I know the brand's good and I know I can fix it 196 00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:09,820 Right off the bat like hey, what's your address? I'll be there in 20 minutes. Here's 50 bucks demo 197 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:15,740 Even though it's free, but like there's a lot of competition near me and i'll like i'll pay out and especially if I can know 198 00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:16,940 I can make my money 199 00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:19,260 So the worst case scenario you end up with 200 00:14:19,820 --> 00:14:23,020 I don't know a couple hundred dollar couch that was free on a 201 00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:28,060 Bad day or bad pickup, I guess and and like worst case scenario if I can't like 202 00:14:28,540 --> 00:14:30,060 I think this week 203 00:14:30,060 --> 00:14:34,940 I gave away I posted for free like three couches that took like they didn't sell in 30 days 204 00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:39,420 So they go up for free like I just want that they're gone like they've used up their time. They use up their space 205 00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,420 So like out with the old and in with the new 206 00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:46,700 And they usually post on facebook for free and like gone like two hours later all that was gone 207 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:50,300 Free has a lot of weight 208 00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:53,740 I i've done that absolutely free and it's gone within hours 209 00:14:54,780 --> 00:15:01,660 Whatever it is that that's so true. It's uh, it's basically he he's offloading his duds to another furniture seller 210 00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:08,780 Yeah, actually, uh, was it yesterday another couch that I physically personally bought off of before and made money off of 211 00:15:09,260 --> 00:15:12,220 He's a hey man, like I want this one like I have it and like yeah, dude come get it 212 00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:14,220 You know where i'm at. He's a cool be there in 10 213 00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:19,420 And uh, my buddy billy was already there working at a storage unit because he now he physically cleans it clean it 214 00:15:19,420 --> 00:15:22,860 He physically cleans the couches backings them and I just take a percent 215 00:15:24,380 --> 00:15:27,660 And uh, so he met up with him and he took his couch and was like hey man 216 00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:30,460 I couldn't sell that for 200 dollars in a month. So like good luck 217 00:15:31,580 --> 00:15:32,460 so 218 00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:37,420 Um now time to get into the juicy stuff. I love ebay to amazon convert 219 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:39,900 It's like one of the one of my things. I just I don't know 220 00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:45,020 I love people that ditch the ebay life and get on the amazon train. So um, it's so real 221 00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:52,780 So what do you like give me the insight because johnny's kind of the same way now as he's transitioned until basically almost all amazon 222 00:15:52,860 --> 00:15:55,740 He still pumps out his ebay listings, but not like he used to one a day 223 00:15:56,380 --> 00:15:58,140 give me the 224 00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:00,140 Six. Oh, okay. Were you like 225 00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:07,420 Were you hesitant? Were you like worried like oh you're worrying about getting banned on amazon like all the traditional things you hear 226 00:16:07,660 --> 00:16:11,580 From like an ebay seller that's never done amazon is oh i'm going to get banned right away 227 00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:16,220 The fees are high like what was your take taking the jump from ebay to amazon? 228 00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:23,500 Uh, I have some very successful friends that do this full time and they're in like multiple seven to eight figure realm 229 00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:26,460 And if they can do it I can do it 230 00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:29,580 Copy and paste what they're doing and rinse and repeat 231 00:16:30,220 --> 00:16:35,100 Like I the thought I've had a couple of screenshots where I woke up and said your account's at risk of deactivation 232 00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:39,660 I'm like, oh no, like panic mode. It's like high pricing error like no impact. Whatever. Whatever 233 00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:43,340 I was like, you know when I first saw that I never experienced that I was like, oh my god 234 00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:47,180 I sent it to johnny. I sent it to everyone else like am I dead like is that it? 235 00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:53,180 It's like no, it means nothing like keep you over man game over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah respawn on five. Yeah 236 00:16:54,540 --> 00:16:59,500 But uh, i've never had anything weird or like i'm never scared like 237 00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:04,140 The only way to in my mind to learn is to try it if I don't try i'll never know 238 00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:07,260 So might as well try find out 239 00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:10,940 Yeah, so so people are going to say that the fees are higher on amazon 240 00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:15,260 So why won't you just sell it on ebay instead you're selling video games. They're collectible 241 00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:17,980 Ebay is a collectible platform now. So 242 00:17:18,540 --> 00:17:22,460 Give me your two cents behind you're going to a platform where the fees are higher 243 00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:27,020 And you leave in a platform that kind of focuses on collectibles and the retro, you know 244 00:17:27,580 --> 00:17:30,620 Snes games that you're selling and the retro games you're selling 245 00:17:30,620 --> 00:17:38,860 So like my big big like i plan to do amazon fba since I started ebay like that was from the start from the get-go like that's my goal 246 00:17:39,420 --> 00:17:42,220 Because i'm gonna get to exactly where I am now when I started 247 00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:47,020 And so like my whole like, you know timeline i'm getting here took a long time anyways 248 00:17:47,580 --> 00:17:51,660 But uh, the big reason was like I could have my basement back like 249 00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:56,620 All the stuff I do store for ebay is now in some amazon warehouse around the country 250 00:17:56,620 --> 00:18:01,740 And I don't have to deal with customers. I don't have to deal with shipping. You know, I just get paid 251 00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:05,900 So like that was a big benefit. I mean that's just 252 00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:09,980 It sums up amazon and the difference between amazon and ebay like 253 00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:16,060 Uh hit a little bit more on the price difference between today and amazon because I know 254 00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:20,540 I don't have to buy box and video games. You heard jamison talk about it. He got it already within a week 255 00:18:20,780 --> 00:18:22,780 I just when I started my account 256 00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:28,620 Like he like he said you can't sell video games if you rely on thrift stores because they don't exist in thrift stores anymore 257 00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:30,780 And if they do they're ridiculously priced. Yeah, if you're paying like nine dollars for a three dollar game or something 258 00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:35,820 Yeah, yeah, so I never got the buy box. So like it radio games kind of been an afterthought to me 259 00:18:35,820 --> 00:18:42,860 But I know for a fact there is a huge price difference between amazon and ebay for these video games. So dive into that a little bit 260 00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:46,220 So I can kind of go from the high down 261 00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:52,940 So on amazon, i've only been selling on amazon for video game wise. I think like three weeks now and probably if that sounds about right 262 00:18:52,940 --> 00:18:54,940 Johnny since we came back but um 263 00:18:55,740 --> 00:19:02,220 Like there's the renewed program which is like you're authorized by nintendo sony playstation whatever these brands are 264 00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:09,740 To refurbish and rehab and restore their products and sell them underneath their brand on amazon for an additional 265 00:19:09,740 --> 00:19:15,820 But in order to get that it's like fifty thousand dollars uh ungating fee per brand 266 00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:22,220 With an invoice of that product so then back down to where majority of the rest of the world's at like where i'm at and a couple of my friends are 267 00:19:22,220 --> 00:19:24,220 um 268 00:19:24,220 --> 00:19:26,860 You can go on ebay and like for example 269 00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:31,740 Like I buy these all the time for like on ebay like 20 to 25 dollars 270 00:19:31,740 --> 00:19:40,860 But uh, you know, it's better if you can buy them in like lots so, you know if you can buy a lot of i love retro games but uh 271 00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:44,780 If I can buy a lot of these for like I think I paid like 130 bucks for these 272 00:19:45,980 --> 00:19:53,180 But uh, I can take a super mario game on ebay is like 25 30 dollars on amazon. It's like 55 60 273 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,980 So I can buy a lot of these for like a hundred and thirty bucks for like a hundred and thirty bucks 274 00:19:57,980 --> 00:20:02,540 So I can buy 25 30 dollars on amazon. It's like 55 60 by itself 275 00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,780 but then you can go one step further and you can bundle it with a 276 00:20:07,580 --> 00:20:09,580 Super nintendo. Oh, it's over there 277 00:20:09,580 --> 00:20:16,460 But uh, and now super nintendo goes for the console on like ebay is like 100 to 120 free shipping give or take depending on condition 278 00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:18,860 And now it's 230 279 00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:21,020 Because I added this game 280 00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:24,060 and like there's some crazy insane margins 281 00:20:24,060 --> 00:20:28,540 And amazon has substantially more fees. Yes 282 00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:32,380 but like the speed at which you sell is 283 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,700 unmatched 284 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:39,980 like I don't understand if people don't understand sell through rank and stuff like that like 285 00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:44,540 A rank like 2000 and amazon video games is like gone gone gone gone gone 286 00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,220 But then like, you know that same game on ebay might have like a week potentially 287 00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:50,940 And then the people are buying it 288 00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:54,060 Well, I don't know ebay video game seller should sell on amazon 289 00:20:55,340 --> 00:20:59,020 Uh in my mind, it's like a filter a lot of people are scared 290 00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:04,300 A lot of people are afraid to try a lot of people think it costs a boatload of money. It does not 291 00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:07,900 Um is extremely frustrating though for sure 292 00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:13,820 Like to start and like if you don't have like a good community or like someone like one of you guys or other people just like 293 00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:16,300 Hey, like hold my hand 294 00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:18,940 Uh, it's very very difficult in my opinion 295 00:21:18,940 --> 00:21:21,980 Especially because like, you know any moment amazon can just shut your store down like 296 00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:24,620 No question to ask no nothing 297 00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:27,100 It's just like a big filter 298 00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:27,980 That is true 299 00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:31,740 I guess that's kind of like it's a good thing if you're going to resell on amazon is 300 00:21:31,740 --> 00:21:35,820 It is a lot more of a pain in the ass getting that getting your account even set up 301 00:21:35,820 --> 00:21:40,460 They got all these hoops. You got to jump through there's so many, you know, nothing straightforward 302 00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:42,620 The seller support sucks 303 00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:46,860 I mean ebay's you know, ebay seller support sucks too, but ebay's kind of the wild west 304 00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:49,420 You kind of can do whatever you want, right? You can list 305 00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:53,100 Yeah, you know, you can list the pokemon game on ebay, but you go to amazon 306 00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:56,460 You need to get ungated in pokemon to sell the pokemon game. So it's like 307 00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:02,460 The extra barriers of entry are only beneficial to you the person that's taking the steps 308 00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:07,100 To get past them and that goes for anything.
