  @EricRStPierre Aaarrgg!! Ten cent and twenty five cent pieces! And a 1961 Canadian 50 cent piece now costs about $50 on eBay, when you include tax and postage. I think the 1961 is just about the most beautiful of Canadian coins. 1961… the upside down year according to MAD Magazine

  This is strange. They haven't sent me the label, yet. I sent a few messages, but no response. Whoever is supposed to be monitoring that account clearly isn't, for some reason. It's a vastly reputable company. I'll have to call the main office. I've got someone else's paid for product, here, and haven't got mine, yet. They may have shipped mine, I'm not sure. Right now, though, I want to get this other guy his computer case. The main office may say they don't handle Ebay stuff, but I'm going to have to stop them short and explain the issue. They haven't received any negative feedback, recently, so clearly the guy is waiting for his stuff. I'm not sure what's going on.

  @jdflynn If the decision between the two comes down to money, just get a used blackstone and look for a deal on used batting tunnel equipment and do both. I hate buying new when I know I can go on Facebook marketplace or eBay and lowball somebody and get next to new for pennies on the dollar.

  Day 169 Total sales: $458.97 Buy cost (COG): $44.66 eBay earnings: $208.01 Net profit: $163.35 ROI: 365% Not every day is defined by what ships, sometimes it's defined by how you handle what doesn't. Today included two canceled orders. One was canceled before shipment, so the inventory goes right back on the shelf waiting for another buyer. The other involved a non functional item that couldn't be completed, so I recorded the inventory cost & moved on. That's part of running a reselling business. The goal isn't to avoid every cancellation or problem item. The goal is to build a business where those situations are expected, accounted for, & don't derail your progress. The focus stays the same: source quality inventory, price it well, list consistently, & let the numbers compound over time. Buy right. List consistently. Stay patient. The singles keep adding up. #Reselling #BuildInPublic

  @SleeperNFL The card market's actually been drifting the other way. Jonathon Brooks trades at a $27 average, down slightly the last six weeks on 300 eBay tracked sales in 90 days. So there's not just no hype priced in, collectors have been fading him. If he flies up the boards, that reverses fast. Cheap entry before the crowd.

  @knoyhead Do the eBay guarantee. Also they have an Authenticator they’ll send the card to to verify it’s real. I’ve never had an issue so far. But you do hear horror stories.

  What Is Printify and How Can You Make Money From It? E-commerce has become one of the most popular ways to build an online business, especially with the growth of the print-on-demand model. This business model allows people to sell customized clothing and other products without owning printing equipment or storing inventory. Printify is one of the best-known platforms in this industry. It helps designers and online store owners turn their ideas into physical products that are printed and shipped only after a customer places an order. What Is Printify? Printify is a print-on-demand platform. Under this model, a product is manufactured only when someone purchases it, instead of being produced in large quantities and stored in advance. The platform offers more than 1,300 customizable products, including T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, bags, stickers, phone cases, posters, and many other items. After choosing a product, the seller can upload a design, position it on the item, and preview how the final product will look before publishing it for sale. Printify is not a marketplace that buys designs from creators. It is also not a single printing factory. Instead, it connects sellers with a network of printing providers located in different countries. Sellers can compare providers according to product prices, location, customer ratings, production time, and shipping options. What Does the Seller Do, and What Does Printify Do? The responsibilities are divided between the seller and Printify. The seller is responsible for: Creating the design. Choosing the product. Setting the retail price. Preparing product images and descriptions. Publishing the product in an online store. Marketing the product. Attracting customers. Managing customer questions and store policies. Printify and its printing providers are responsible for: Printing the design on the product. Packaging the order. Shipping it directly to the customer. Providing tracking information when available. This means that the seller does not need to purchase printing equipment, rent a warehouse, package products, or visit a shipping company. How Do You Start Using Printify? The process begins by creating an account on Printify and selecting a product from its catalog, such as a T-shirt, mug, or bag. The seller then uploads a design and places it in the appropriate printing area using Printify’s design tool. Printify can be connected to several e-commerce platforms, including: Etsy Shopify WooCommerce Wix eBay BigCommerce Squarespace Amazon US TikTok Shop US Once the online store is connected, the seller can publish the product and choose its selling price. When a customer purchases the item, the order is sent to Printify. Printify then forwards it to the selected printing provider, which produces and ships the product. How Can You Make Money With Printify? You do not earn money simply by uploading a design to Printify. Profit is generated only when a customer buys the product from your store. The basic profit formula is: Net profit = Selling price − Product and printing cost − Shipping cost − Marketplace and payment fees − Advertising, taxes, and other expenses For example, imagine that you sell a T-shirt for $25. Product and printing cost: $10 Shipping cost: $5 Marketplace and payment fees: $3 Your estimated profit would be: $25 − $10 − $5 − $3 = $7 This is only an example. Actual costs depend on the product, printing provider, customer’s country, shipping method, selling platform, and advertising expenses. How Does Payment Work? In most store integrations, the customer pays through your online store or marketplace. Printify then charges your bank card or Printify balance for the production and shipping costs before sending the order to the printing provider. The money paid by the customer is usually not transferred directly from the selling platform to Printify. Therefore, the seller needs to have enough money available to cover production costs while waiting for marketplace payouts. This is important because a sudden increase in sales may require temporary working capital to process all orders. Can You Use Artificial Intelligence to Create Designs? Yes, artificial intelligence can be used to create designs for T-shirts and other products. Printify also provides an AI image-generation tool that allows users to create images by entering a written description of the desired design. Designs created with AI may generally be used commercially, provided that the user follows the policies of the AI tool and does not violate intellectual-property rights. When using an external AI platform, the seller should review its terms and confirm that commercial use is permitted. However, generating an image with AI does not automatically make it suitable for sale. The seller should still: Check the image for mistakes. Improve the design when necessary. Remove unwanted details. Make sure the resolution is suitable for printing. Choose colors that work well on the selected product. Ensure that the design is original and visually attractive. The Best Ways to Increase Your Chances of Making a Profit One of the most effective strategies is to target a specific group of customers instead of creating general designs for everyone. For example, sellers can create products for: People working in a certain profession. Fans of a particular hobby. Pet owners. Travelers. Teachers or healthcare workers. People celebrating birthdays or special occasions. Customers interested in motivational or humorous messages. After choosing a target audience, the seller should research similar products to understand popular styles, pricing, and the keywords customers use when searching. The purpose of competitor research is not to copy other sellers. It is to understand customer needs and develop an original product that provides something different. Choosing the right printing provider is also important. A provider with good ratings, reasonable prices, reliable quality, and a location close to the target market may offer faster and cheaper shipping. It is also recommended to order a sample before launching a product. A sample allows the seller to inspect the fabric, printing quality, colors, sizing, and packaging. Samples are normally not free, but testing the product can help prevent customer complaints and larger financial losses later. Professional product images are also essential. Sellers should use attractive mockups, write clear titles, explain the product materials and sizes, and provide accurate care instructions. After publishing the product, marketing becomes a major part of the business. Products can be promoted through social media, paid advertising, search optimization, content marketing, and influencer partnerships. Is Printify Free? Printify offers a free plan that allows users to create products and operate connected stores without paying a monthly subscription fee to Printify. However, the seller still pays for production and shipping whenever an order is placed. The seller may also need to pay fees charged by the marketplace, payment provider, advertising platform, or website service. Printify also offers a Premium plan with product discounts and additional features. It may be useful for stores that already receive regular orders. Beginners can usually start with the free plan and upgrade later when the savings from product discounts become greater than the subscription cost. Risks and Mistakes to Avoid One of the biggest mistakes is using copyrighted or trademarked material without permission. Sellers should not use: Company logos. Sports-team logos. Movie or television characters. Video-game characters. Celebrity photographs. Famous brand names. Artwork copied from another seller. Protected slogans or song lyrics. Designs that closely imitate existing trademarks. A design may still violate intellectual-property rights even when it was generated by artificial intelligence. For example, asking an AI tool to create a well-known cartoon character or a design in the style of a protected brand does not automatically make the result legal to sell. Sellers must own the content they upload or have the legal right to use it commercially. Other common mistakes include: Choosing the cheapest printing provider without checking quality. Selling without ordering a sample. Ignoring marketplace and payment fees. Setting prices too low. Failing to calculate advertising costs. Using poor-quality images. Providing unclear size information. Expecting Printify to find customers automatically. Because print-on-demand products are created specifically for each order, returns and exchanges may also be limited. Printify does not generally provide returns simply because a customer selected the wrong size, chose the wrong color, or changed their mind. However, damaged products, printing errors, and manufacturing problems may qualify for a replacement or refund when they are reported within the required period and supported with clear photographs. Is Profit From Printify Guaranteed? No, profit is not guaranteed. Printify handles product fulfillment, but it does not guarantee that customers will purchase your products. Success depends on several factors, including: Design quality. Product selection. Market demand. Pricing. Marketing. Search visibility. Shipping speed. Customer service. Competition. Cost management. The first design may not generate any sales. Sellers often need to test different ideas, study customer behavior, improve product listings, and replace designs that do not perform well. It is usually better to begin with a small collection of high-quality products instead of uploading hundreds of random designs. The seller can then expand the store based on products that receive views, clicks, favorites, or actual sales. Conclusion Printify is a useful platform for starting a customized-product business without purchasing inventory or owning printing equipment. The seller creates the design, publishes the product, determines the price, and markets it. Printify and its printing partners handle manufacturing, packaging, and shipping. Both handmade and AI-assisted designs can be used, provided that the seller has the legal right to use them and does not violate trademarks or copyrights. Profit is not generated simply by uploading a design. It is created when the seller reaches the right audience and sells the product at a price that covers production, shipping, marketplace fees, advertising costs, and other expenses while leaving a reasonable profit margin. Printify is therefore not a guaranteed or instant way to become wealthy. However, it can be a practical tool for building a real online business when combined with original designs, careful market research, effective marketing, and proper cost management.

  @brae5i @JuanEditzs You can go on Ebay right now, search "Dell Optiplex," and get one with a year or two old CPU and 500gbs of storage. It's about going for all these business PCs, or even grabbing laptops with broken displays. Thrifting these will also save you lots of money.

  Since money twitter is back, it’s time to tell my story I started my online business journey at 15 as some of you know - only because I wanted to make money but legally wasn’t old enough to get a part time job in Canada Bought my first SMMA course for $700 and targeted realtors - eventually failed this After that I moved on to reselling fake designer clothes on eBay (lol) - made about $2-3k then my store got shut down Then I landed on a content agency for chiropractors - this one I actually had some success with and things were going well Then c*vid shut it all down, my clients didn’t need content anymore and they all fired me The first few months of c*vid was rough. I spent 10 hours a day playing video games, wasn’t focused on school or business and was pretty lazy Eventually my brother snapped me out of it and told me I was wasting my time. He was running some ecom stores at the time and was doing pretty well That’s when I decided to launch my next venture - an Email Marketing agency for ecom brands I went from gaming for 10 hours a day to outreaching to brands for 10 hours a day - sent 1,000s of personalized messages until I got my first $1k/month retainer after 3 weeks of grinding 4 months later I hit my first $10k month, a few months after that I hit a $30k month Then I did the dumbest thing possible - got caught up in the crypto hype and took almost all of my focus away from Email Marketing to chase memecoins A few months later I had lost a LOT of the money I had made, and my Email Marketing agency was back down to $4k/month since I hadn’t been focusing on my clients That was when I made a decision - I’m going all-in on Email Marketing Nothing else was going to distract me and I was going to become the best in the game at it I started putting 10 hour days back into my agency and it paid off big time In 2023 we were onboarding 10-15 brands per month, and more than that we were delivering great results for them too Around this time we hit 90 team members at Nest Marketing (now at about 60, leaner team but producing even better results) That same year I went on my first Umrah - helped me realize that there’s a lot more to life than just money and flexing In 2024 I trusted some wrong people. Good reminder to never share good news with people who don’t have the best intentions It wasn’t all bad though - I got engaged in 2024 then got married in 2025 to my wife. It came with a lot of responsibility and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me and made me mature a lot 2026 was the year of travelling (with intention) - went to Hong Kong, China, snowboarding trips, networking events - met a lot of people more successful than me who have inspired me and helped me to push forward Now Nest Marketing has a team of 60, we’ve worked with 250 brands and have generated $300 million in email/sms sales for our partners Super proud of what we’ve been able to achieve, and continue to work towards All this came from a 15 year old who wanted to make an extra $1-2k/month so I could go to the mall and get food with friends So grateful for everything. Alhamdullilah
