I quit reselling. 

100% I saw this happen in 08' late 90's to 06-07 that was the true hay day of online reselling not much competition seller wise but many more buyers then sellers and items both on ebay and Amazon if you think sakes were great during the pandemic you should have been. Reselling during late 90's to 2008 your Jawa would drop! Many came on board in that time period but 08' happen and the floor fell through you had to work hard for the same amount or sometimes less and just accept thar fact your absolutely right those that did not quot stuck it out listed listed listed no matter what the fruits of there labor eventually paid off I'm proof of that same thing is happening now many sellers who came in just before or because of covid had it very easy those that had been around for 25 years like myself and did this full tume everyday for the last 25 years knew covid was just an anomaly to appreciate but it was not to last long things were going to get normal again by normal I mean reselling was going to be a job again but if you love this job and doing it for the right reasons (not just the money) then those reasons can be a huge motivator to keep pressing on. And yes those that press on in 2024 and don't quit and just accept the fact you'll have to work hard to make the same or sometimes less as more and more quit it will mean less sellers and less items to compare with which in all honesty will be the best thing to happen for reselling it is way to crowed seller wise and item wise less sellers mean less items but does not mean less buyers because we know most sellers are buyers too so even though they might quit reselling they will continue to buy.

How do you get your name out there. I tried posting on Craigslist and FB Marketplace. The one contact I got was a scam attempt. 😆😆😆 Sounds like I’m doing it wrong.

@nathangrah3430 I'm retired, and have a small truck, so I've been sourcing using that same method. About 3/4 of what I get, I donate to local thrift stores. The rest is mostly nothing spectacular, but I'm making enough to supplement my meager income.

Very smart!

Nope not that easy when you throw in algorithms and promoted listings this was never the thing 567 years ago its not the inventory your selling I have been reselling full time for 25 years on multiple platforms including ebay and Amazon if sites are controlling who gets views and who does not it really does not come down to your inventory it actually comes down to the platforms and the controll they have over sellers and how they show sellers items to buyers again it was never like this 5 6 7 years ago.....bottom line the platforms are getting to greedy they need to losses the leash up or they will put themselves out of business because of there greed same with thrifts if they think they can kerp raising there prices resellers will eventually stop sourcing from thrifts (its already happening) and of the thrifts think they can survive on every day buyers there dead wrong the majority of there buyers are resellers there is no debating that and if they lose them they will go out of business I hear everyday buyers (not resellers) complaining about goodwills prices saying "you can get this cheaper at Walmart " again the thrifts are getting to greedy and will price themselves out of business

I appreciate it! More videos to come!

Same here but I'm an everything seller so it's always good to have pretty much every category covered you never know what is going to sell from day to day you never know what someone is going to be needing or wanting. Yep I have been selling media on ebay and Amazon since 98' oh God was it great back then if anyone thinks the covid Era was great you should have been selling in the large 90's and early 2000's

Valid point, however, there was a huge uptick for me during the 2020 through 2023 years. I was not reselling a decade to go so I missed out on that, however, for more recent sellers, we’re definitely in a worse spot now than we were three years ago.

@@nickwoo1 More recent sellers never really had a chance to be honest. Established sellers took advantage of the entire situation while newer sellers settled for $20 lunch money.

Unfortunately none of this has changed, but forgotten yes

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that. :/

Valid points. I didn’t really need to explain anything away. I could have just stopped and not said anything, but in my thought process, I feel like there are other people out there feeling the same way. But you are right any business that isn’t working for us is dead to us. 🤙🏼 Hope you continue to crush whatever you’re working on!

@nickwoo1 I appreciate your words! Hope you crush on affiliate marketing ! And hopefully one day you teach us how to doing with amazon influencer;) could be a nice new channel for you :) :)

Those videos are coming :)

😂 gotta give up the good to go for the great

@@nickwoo1 I'm honestly just messing. I wish you the best.
