    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've found it depends on the item. If it's some 19-year-old pothead that wants to get rid of his Xbox for $150, I'll text him. He probably prefers that anyway. If it's like a car, or a store going out of business, or a landlord clearing out a ton of storage, then I will usually call, at least...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I think you hold yourself back by making "rules" like not buying anything with under $50 profit. There are way more things to consider. If you can buy an item for $15 and sell it for $60, and don't do it, you're missing out. If you can buy 10x items for $11 and sell them for $19 each quickly...

    2015... Your Exclusion Goals?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I found add-ons helpful because a lot of the time I would find I was searching aimlessly without catching myself. Working for a while, slight distraction, then woah, suddenly I've been shopping for classic Porsches for half an hour. Now whenever I try to visit Reddit, AutoTrader, etc. it...

    If you read this thread, particularly the past few pages, and that's the simplified summary you came up with, I'd read it again. Really unique perspectives from both sides, this isn't a black/white thing. Interesting to hear different people's experiences.

    Great post. I'd also like to add: they don't like to "figure things out" on their own. -Need to fill out a form? Call mom and dad. -Need to set up your internet/computer/printer/cell phone? Call the Geek Squad. -Need to change a flat tire or jump a car battery? Call AAA. Nobody wants to...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm a Powerseller and get some minor shipping and fee discounts. Ebay sent me a certificate in the mail. That's about it. I have not paid for a store. Reasons: 1) Volume. 2) I buy items that move quickly, because I want that money back ASAP. One of the primary perks of a store is being...

    My minor experience has been with Alibaba/Aliexpress, and it's all been them shipping it to my door. I don't see why you would need a warehouse, or any other middle man for that matter, unless your sales started to get really serious and you were ordering entire palettes. Otherwise, unless you...

    Are you serious? This thread was started 4 years ago and is still ongoing. 4 years of Richkid and several others, myself included, making money doing this. If that's not "motivation" enough I don't know what is. Sorry if that comes off as harsh. But if you can't be motivated by hustling...

    I've never had a subscription. I did however purchase their Udemy course on "How To Become a Great Entrepreneur" when it went on sale. Gotta say I was pretty disappointed by it. They advertise it being 7 hours of content, but 1 of the hours was literally this interview which you can watch for...

    ARIZONA CARDINALS (NFL Chit-Chat)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Everyone keeps saying this, but really, what's the alternative? Let a 3rd wild card team in? At that point you no longer have any purpose to the divisions, and the entire playoff structure is disrupted. As a Philly fan, all you heard in this neck of the woods is "We should be in the playoffs...

    Why? Even if 10 years from now you decide being an entrepreneur isn't for you and you want to go to college, then go to college then. There's nothing stopping you from deciding to start a business in 10 years, and there's nothing stopping you from deciding to go to college in 10 years. You...

    Another strategy that I much prefer, is to tell people that reply "No worries, if you change your mind let me know, I have cash in hand." I've played more than enough of the back and forth negotiating game with Craigslist people only to have it go nowhere. I'd much rather they just text me...

    Hello, I'll be a Billionaire at 30.

    I actually think some of the guy's business-related posts are good. And he knows more about lifting/fitness than your average moron throwing weights around at the gym. But people follow him like he's some sort of God. And he walks around acting like he's some sort of God. When in reality he...

    Christmas Eve Sidewalk Storytime

    Yeah probably something like 90% Ebay/Amazon and 10% Craigslist. Don't really keep track. I know a lot of people are making money with high end bikes. I just don't really know anything about the industry.

    Christmas Eve Sidewalk Storytime

    Depends on the item. If it is easy to ship I will sell on ebay or amazon. They take about a 15% fee, and you will usually lose at least 15% if you are only selling locally on Craigslist. If the item is a pain to ship then I will only sell locally. I don't really know what my margins are, I...

    Buy my Kindle product when it releases next month. ;) Your problem wasn't the years 1997-2000, it was the fact that it was a Honda. Obvious cars like the S2K excluded (which would never end up in a junkyard anyway) Honda parts aren't usually worth jack. Go European; Audi, BMW, Jaguar, etc. I...

    You could show it working in a picture on your ad. For most people, that's enough. If they want to see it working just have some other people over at your house when they come to check it out. FYI most of the stories you hear are when people go visit stranger's houses, not when strangers...
