    @wings_pirate Fancy door. Looks like Bowzer's face. Maybe Bowzer wants another new toy! I had come home from Florida with 2 palm tree etched champagne glasses, the last 2, wrapped in plastic. Pickles loved to chew plastic. In slow motion one fell and smashed. What do you do with 1 champagne glass? Fortunately I got more on eBay. Pickles can never be replaced.

    The Net Profit question often appears in my DMs and comments when I post about buying and selling. Is there easy, passive income profit when buying products from auctions to resale? Nope. But here's how I made $557,127 profit from doing a ton of research about a product line I knew nothing about. Let's start with why I wanted to try this experiment. I’m a tech guy who builds tech companies. As you know from my previous posts, I always try to impress my awesome wife. But when I had 56,347 iPhones and iPads in my warehouse, the women in my life were not impressed. Then, I brought home a box of designer handbags that I came across, and the women in my life lost their minds. There was something here. I could feel it. I had just sold TechRestore and wanted to build a company with zero employees, using social commerce and building it just with my phone. I love starting over at 0. So, I began researching to be sure these handbags could be a good business. First, you swim upstream. I bought handbags from all the major players on social commerce sites like Poshmark and eBay. I wanted to see how their packaging looked, how their sales funnel functioned, and how they handled returns. All of these: not very good. I know how to do these 3 things very well. Just with computer parts, not handbags. How different could it be? Opportunity? Yes. I then needed suppliers. I have a great database of suppliers that find me very credible. Why? Because I am consistent, I pay on time and never complain about small problems. It took me 11 months to strike gold. After 149 calls and 348 emails (I track this stuff), one supplier referred me to another (probably just to shut me up), and I found my source. During these 11 months, I had been “warming up” my accounts on social commerce platforms. Learning how Poshmark worked, meeting the managers of the eBay handbag channel. Anything I could do to build credibility. About a year into it, I knew how to build followers on these marketplaces, how the shipping worked, how customer service functioned, and how to talk to primarily female customers buying handbags. I started selling. Like a rocket ship, the combination of a good supplier, great customer service, and business practices took off, and I started to get attention. So much attention that the CEO of Poshmark invited me to visit their headquarters. Uh oh! I am pretty sure they thought I was a woman. With my name and the fact that I wanted to make my female customers feel comfortable, I only posted pictures of me with my wife – I’m sure they were surprised when a dude with a beard showed up at their office. After a laugh, I got a tour and met with the CEO for a Q&A session. Super amazing. This post is getting long, so let’s fast forward: I sold over 7000 handbags on Poshmark and other social commerce marketplaces—$ 3.7M in revenue and $557,127 in profit. 83% of the handbags I sold, I bought from auctions. I did a bunch of consulting for Poshmark, and they loved me so much that I got access to their IPO. I still don’t know anything about fashion. However, I know how to find the delta between buying and selling and how to implement systems that work. I had so much fun and learned so much that I wrote a book about it. Poshmark Unlocked has sold thousands of copies, and I learned how to start a publishing business. Can anyone do this? Absolutely. It takes time, a willingness to spend hours doing research, experimenting and access to some capital. If you want to learn more about unconventional methods of building businesses and wealth, give me a follow @ShannonJean - I promise that it will be interesting and fun!

    @robevoirtcg @kirstyn I wish eBay would ban reselling sealed product. Like only allow card singles to be sold. Would solve a lot of problems

    I see people are still make terrible Bowman Baseball listing decisions on eBay. Just take a few minutes to look on eBay sold listings before you list your numbered card at BIN for 80% less than the other sellers FFS.

    @BenCham63173153 @FeistSportsCard Correct, anyone paying more in fees is Below Standard or promoting their listing too much. As usual eBay is not the problem, its the ignorance of its users.

    I've always been a huge Ace Combat fan. Namco seemed to nail the feel of jet combat in a way they didn't accomplish in their racers. It's interesting to see Sega's After Burner, a Yu Suzuki project, take a backseat to Ace Combat. What's even more interesting is that these are entirely Japanese projects. In North America, Novalogic and Microprose and Ubisoft all tried; the only ones that really seem to persist are DCS and Microsoft Flight Sim, but the fact that a Japanese company has maintained a successful fighter jet franchise for three decades in the West is crazy to me. Nellis is down the street from me and I've always wondered how they keep their machines up to date with flight sim software. A video of the Boeing F-15EX simulator seemed graphically inferior to something you could get for $1k off eBay, but probably cost the US military millions. Naturally, to get your hardware and software approved for the US military requires far more security clearance. Which begs the question: can any military really have the latest and greatest flight sim hardware and software? Of course actual flight experience will be the real determining factor for success, but what incentives go into flight sim software like Lockheed's P3D? Microsoft Flight Sim? What about in Japan for the JASDF? Surely they all have their eyes on that military contract money, so I would assume they would want to keep consumer flight sim software somewhere on the same level of the latest release granted access within the military, which would be, what, 2-3 years antequated by now? And how closely are these American companies watching what Bandai Namco does with its flight sim software? How many cues can they really take from it? If the gameplay is more arcade-y, certainly they're inspired by the visuals, which if put into a military simulator would be a huge boost to training. I'm totally speculating, though. Maybe the military gets updated flight sim software and hardware every week, but I doubt it. If we have to jump through months of red tape at gaming companies just to update our NAS system, I can't imagine what Boeing, Lockheed, and Microsoft have to go through. And I bet Japan, with its cozier relationship between government and corporations, has a faster pipeline from flight sim company to military. It's hard to imagine the USAF is willing to let Japan make a better looking (and better playing) flight sim, but is that what's happening? Anyone know this world?

    @beast1234777 @GerberKawasaki Bull💩! The examples are ENDLESS, especially within Customer Service platforms where AI has replaced live agents in dozens of large corporations! I use both Instacart and eBay on a daily basis and both leverage very sophisticated solely AI powered DM virtual agents which resolve about 90% of my issues. I recently filed an auto claim with GEICO that was expertly guided by their app, which resulted in an instantaneous estimate for repairs that was noted to be solely AI powered! No human interaction, sped up the process by days! I could go on and on. If you’ve not seen this AI interaction, you’re either living in a cave or with a blindfold on.

    @GrandpaRoy2 Disturbing to see that potentially capable 'affordable' AA systems may proliferate. You can't buy a MANPADS on ebay, but R7 you can. Unlikely to take down an airliner, but a real threat to light aircraft, I'd assume. I wonder if I could register one as a class C1 drone... :P

    @whypickname @foursyYT Lego has no problem forcing people who sell legit goods on eBay or Amazon to pull down their listings or risk being sued yet they say nothing about a retail org they clearly sell to who thinks it's ok not to reimburse an old man for a legit consignment.

    @Fruitloops1984 I am aware of several methods eBay could employ if they wished to slow down or deter GameStop (those you mentioned). My comment was in regards to Cohen’s motivation. Some suggest he is not serious. I disagree.

    @BrandonNie43375 @DeItaone Terrible deal for Ebay shareholders, The GME stock they receive would be worth a couple of dollars/share and an even worse for GME shareholders. Even then the combined entity would have so much debt at unfavorable rates, a turnaround would take very long time.

    Is anyone else's eBay PWE envelopes not registering as even being picked up by USPS? I have dropped off two cards at the same mailbox in the last two weeks that don't even show they've been picked up and I wonder if this a USPS problem or maybe just that box. @CardPurchaser

    @HankBobbyDale @JCSCollects I agree they can be annoying to look at, but my point was only that eBay has many more prominent issues to concern it self with first. This is simply a minor annoyance, no?

    @WestCoast_Goodz Man, “summer slow down,” “q1 slow down,” “dying platform.” I’ve had to deal with people telling me their eBay sales are dying every season, every month, every year, since I started but my sales have kept going up. It’s definitely the platform, not their fault.

    @KatoKLynn @FAYMAYent We also don't use line here. I chatted with the FayMay Entertainment line account and told them about the issues and they want to take care of it. It would be easier if they just sell it on Ebay or Amazon for international Fans. I don't know why Thailand don't use those options

  • DickHammer776
    **** Hammer (@DickHammer776) reported

    @unusual_whales The only ways I can see this GME-eBay deal happening: 1. GameStop loads up on massive new debt (they’ve already lined up $20B financing). 2. GameStop issues a huge amount of new shares — heavily diluting current shareholders and handing significant ownership to eBay holders. 3. eBay has been quietly shopping itself and GameStop is forcing a deal no one else wants. None of these are good outcomes for shareholders on either side. Am I missing a realistic fourth path here?

    A proof of life post for me right now. I am busy, but not too busy to maintain. So I find a couple of replica lightsabers from the Star Wars in a storage unit I am working on. Okay quality. Just enough for morons to pay lots of money for and probably display them proudly. I am going to list them for 30 bucks to see idiots spaz out over my listing when I degrade them before they even buy it from me. I will stick to that price too. I want to interview the winning dumbass. Money is not the root of all evil. The *love* of money is. Loving ****** Chinese made movie props is just plain retarded. No evil involved. Scripture never said nothing about shining a light on morons. The one on the right cannot be purchased on eBay for less than 300 dollars. Mine sucks in collectabity condition, but they ALL suck when it comes down to it. They are like Beanie Babies for even duller simpletons Stay tuned.
