My eBay and Poshmark Accounts Lay Dormant, This Stuff’s Flipping Regardless
It all started innocently enough. A decluttering spree prompted me to sign up for online resale platforms like eBay and Poshmark, hoping to rid myself of unwanted items and maybe make a little extra cash in the process. Little did I know that what began as a humble attempt to declutter would soon evolve into a fascinating journey into the world of flipping.
Flipping, for the uninitiated, refers to the practice of buying items at a low price and reselling them at a higher price, usually for a profit. It’s not a new concept by any means, but the rise of online platforms and marketplaces has made it easier than ever to get started.
So, armed with my smartphone and a newfound passion for bargain hunting, I dove into the world of flipping. I scoured thrift stores, clearance racks, and garage sales in search of hidden gems and undervalued items. Slowly but steadily, my inventory grew, and my eBay and Poshmark accounts sprang to life.
But as life tends to do, it got in the way. Time became a precious commodity, and my once bustling accounts were left to lay dormant, their virtual shelves gathering virtual dust. Weeks turned into months, and my flipping venture seemed destined to fade into obscurity.
However, little did I know that the reselling gods had other plans for my neglected accounts. Despite my inactivity, my items continued to sell, leaving me baffled – but not complaining. It seemed that the allure of a good deal and the power of online marketplaces were working their magic, even without my active presence. This stuff was flipping regardless.
The world of flipping is as much about strategy as it is about luck. Pricing items competitively, writing compelling descriptions, and capturing high-quality product photos are all crucial components of a successful sale. Thankfully, the platforms themselves offer tools and guidance to optimize listings, even when sellers like me are absent. This hands-off selling experience allowed me to appreciate the passive income potential of flipping, even though my involvement was minimal.
What truly surprised me, however, was the sense of community that emerged from these transactions. Buyers would leave positive feedback, praising the item’s condition and the speedy shipping, fostering a sense of connection that transcended the digital realm. Sellers would engage in friendly banter with potential buyers, providing additional information or answering questions about the listed items. This hidden treasure trove of camaraderie showed me that flipping wasn’t just about the profit, but the relationships formed along the way.
So, while my eBay and Poshmark accounts may have unintentionally become autonomous money-making machines, I can’t help but appreciate the unexpected rewards that this flipping venture has brought into my life. Virtual marketplaces have revealed themselves to be bustling hubs of commerce, where connections are made, treasures are discovered, and sellers can step back while their inventory continues to sell.
Now, as I witness the continued success of my dormant accounts, I can’t help but marvel at the power of online platforms. The world of flipping, once a mere side venture, has become a testament to the potential in every nook and cranny, every discarded item waiting to be discovered and given new life. Rest assured, this stuff’s flipping regardless.

2 weeks without a video, you ok man?
I hope you are ok…haven’t seen any recent videos
How’s it going?? Miss you man lol
I like ur videos. You have helped me so much on my reselling adventure. Question? Do you offer free shipping?
Got a question…..I heard we should always be taking photos w/ a white background because Google won't let it populate in search engines if it's not an item w/ a white background and I also heard that the eBay search engine also prefers white backgrounds……so just curious, why don't you use a white background when photographing items?
you mentioned a gemstone mine??
Do you ever sell on facebook marketplace?
Spent my afternoon preparing listings for golf & fishing duds and listed my Tommy Bahama silks that I didn't get around to doing for no good reason. Summer is flying by! I'm one of those people that can actually sell TB. I have no idea why I have good luck but I'll take it!
Any recommendation for either groups or a website to identify logos? I know lululemon, but have several others I can't figure out what brand they are. (Google Lens has not helped.)
Why do you no longer use white backgrounds? After 3 years of photos on my wall, I subscribed to Photo Room. It's too soon to tell if it's worth it. What do you think?
Fox headquarters are in either Santee or El Cajon
Thanks for all the amazing content. Love the manifesto but wanted to ask 2 questions because I'm still having a hard time finding the brands in your manifesto. 1) Where do you typically source and how many times a week? 2) Do you ever source at the bins/Goodwill outlet?
The Rolling Stones cut up shirt .. I think that’s upscale. A diy project. Great sales!
Recently found you from a page on Reddit you were recommended and by god I love how you get right to the point from the jump. No extra intro, 20 mins of talking before you make 1 point. Nothing but information, tips, all of that. I think I speak for everyone when I say thanks for doing what you’re doing. Much appreciated!!!!
I’ve been watching you because I have a whole slew of pants I want to sell. Primarily because I’ve lost weight and I could use the extra money. I don’t really want to do this for a living just kind of a one time thing. Is there any way you know of that I can sell the whole batch ?
Thanks for the video appreciate it
