| BlackLion | 08-31-2018 01:22 PM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion 1.) Not much free stuff available that's worthwhile In my area
2.) Dollar store items are not profitable enough unless you buy 100s to 1000s and have the clerks wondering what in the world your problem is
3.) Not much garage sales, unless you travel to surrounding towns, and then you'd have to know what is profitable vs what is not
CONCLUSION: BAD ADVICE FROM GARY VEE |
| JamesNorth101 | 08-31-2018 01:37 PM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion Im sure there is an App for finding garage sales in the US
TGMT also has some awsome threads about buying and reselling from a garage sale |

Sometime you get lucky and run into community sales where there is 30-40 sales in the same housing track. Quote:

But in the meantime, just go out and have fun. Not doing it, you are just putting yourself further behind.
I can almost guarantee if you just go out 4 Saturdays in a row with no experience, list what you find on eBay, you will profit a $1000. your 1st month.
Then every month after that you will will make more and more as you learn.

| ebaystealth1974 | 10-09-2018 08:44 AM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion In my are, there are currently 450 things on CL for free. Looks like a bunch of money to made if a person had the time. |
| JamesNorth101 | 10-09-2018 08:56 AM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion 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! |
| ebaystealth1974 | 10-09-2018 09:02 AM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion Yup. I see some things I wanna go get, on my end! lol |
| JamesNorth101 | 10-09-2018 09:48 AM | Re: IG Links courtesy of BlackLion 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.... |

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

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. :lol: |

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. |

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. | | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:47 PM. | |
