    A few gem podcasts... What's your favorite?

    HOT! 
    I listen to a lot of podcasts - usually when I'm doing some meaningless tasks such as cleaning, driving, ironing etc. Some of my favourites are: - Entrepreneur on Fire (John Lee Dumas) - A bit cheesy but has some fantastic guests; - The School of Greatness (Lewis Howes) - As above; - Smart...

    Hi @Mikhael, Nice work on trying to get a local meet up going. Unfortunately I have a slowlane job keeping me from attending this particular one but would definitely like to get involved in something similar sometime.

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Trial and error my friend. If it is a one off item just bump it up in price and wait till you get the price you want. If you are trying to move product you may have to meet the market.

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It depends on what margins you are aiming for and how desperate your are to sell. If an item ends with lots of watchers and no sale it often helps to relist the item and lower the price slightly, eBay will send a message to people who were watching that it has been relisted and the lower...

    I have also found that if you get into items when they are in fad it can pay to do a no reserve auction on eBay. A couple of years ago when super Nintendo's were hot I could advertise a buy it now for $150 and no one would touch it, no reserve auction would see them going for near $300. I...

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    In my experience I have had about 80% of suppliers on Alibaba/aliexpress reply to requests, although a supplier told me that recently a lot of the emails from Alibaba have been going to their junk so this may be part of the problem.

    I'm a Property Manager - Ask Me Anything

    REAL ESTATE 
    Interesting that this thread has popped up now. Just yesterday I was talking to my fiance about starting up a property management business, the reason being that where I live in Australia I feel the market needs a shake up. In all my years of renting (7+) I have seen nothing but terrible PMs...

    $0 to almost $9M in under 5 years

    My day job is in food retail and we often have specials days where we stock favourite items from different countries (British day, south African day etc) and we will sell out of stock in less then a day. Ex-pats actually hang out for the few days a year that we do it.

    Need a crash course in RE Investing!

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm always amazed at the price of real estate in the US. The fact that you can get a house with those specifications that can yield $1000 rent per month all for not much more than 100k is fantastic. What is the average house hold income in an area like this and what are the loan interest rates...

    There is a bunch of Aussies on here, can't give you any examples but they pop up. I have just moved back to Brisbane myself. As far as local forums go I haven't found anything that has the same mentality as TMF. There are some really good real estate/small business forums but they think very...

    Anybody listen to AudioBooks?

    BOOKS 
    Currently listening to Arnold's autobiography 'Total Recall' while I do the house work and cook dinner. I find autobiographies or mentally less stiumlating books are great to listen to, but when it comes to technical books I really have to read it myself.

    Most of the Chinese suppliers I have worked with will tell you in advance about their holidays as they understand that we don't operate the same as them. I'm fortunate enough that the few I'm in contact with currently keep in contact via email daily, even during holidays. Glad to hear you're...
