Same goes for a lot of the FB groups. The main issue is that a lot of the stuff that is free is trash.

There are some real gems there though if you put the time and effort in you can actually make a decent income from it. Goes against the principle a little mind you!

Yup. I see some things I wanna go get, on my end! lol

There to be utilised

I have used the ones on FB a few times myself both to give things away that I dont want and to sell a few things.

CONCLUSION: BAD ADVICE FROM GARY VEE

Didn't Gary Vee just piggyback on his father's success and now goes around to conferences and talks talking about how he's so incredibly busy (going to so many conferences and talks)?

"I won because I outworked you." ..... yea okay, did you though...?

Don't get me wrong, some of the stuff he says makes sense, but I've never seen him once operating a fork lift, unloading a truck or packing wine....

Most of these guys pretend they've started from the bottom, but received millions from parents/grandparents giving them a headstart, then run with it.

@rsot this thread needs to be deleted, and remade, because all of the links you're posting do not work due to incorrect copying/pasting lol

Just goes to show... that nobody has clicked any of those links.

@rsot - the "..." in your links is messing them up. I guess from where chatbox shortens the link.

Within a 30mile radius there are only raggedy couches, and wooden chairs for "free". Not worth the drive/gas, so no thanks. You guys give poor advice without thoroughly examining the situation at hand.

You're next to a massive city and eBs is presumably in the country. Big difference. Out in the middle of nowhere I've seen an entire single wide trailer being given away on CL for free to anyone interested in restoring it. Almost every day there are listings for free firewood which is highly profitable this time of year if you're willing to work.

Think outside the box. Or move away from the city.

Yea, I know... I had a lot of respect for Linus from Linus Tech Tips if you know him on youtube. I thought he had built his entire business from scratch.

Then he had a video testing wireless internet connections using satellites and his staff a couple km away.

One thing he said was "okay, so we're on the top of my parent's building..."

Next scene is the staff panning out from the outskirts and it's literally the tallest building in the middle of the entire city.

I just went OH, so THAT'S how you're paying 15+ employees and have your own building with your name on it. It wasn't youtube revenue and product plugging after all.

Why don't these guys just say no to the money and start from the bottom so they don't go through life acting like they have to prove something. Would be hard to say no, but would probably feel a lot better making it yourself.

Incorrect I'm possibly hrs away due to major traffic. It isn't worth the stress, and who would drive 50+ min for a raggedy chair and couch.

Stingy ass city folk!

phaz0rz · #40 10-22-2018

As the bird flies though, aren't you right next to it? Where you live in still pretty populated right?

I'm just saying you're more likely in a rural area to find someone giving away a rusty bush hog or super-nice cast iron bath tub lol.

Back in 1993 someone down the road was giving away a free Volvo estate, I collected it and sold it for £750( a lot of money then!) I thought I was Donald Trump that day
