I see you use the eBay promotion option.
What percentage do you give for them to promise your items? You find it works?

You don't really want to go to Japan do you?

Have you ever purchased a storage unit from an auction?

About 18% of the population of the US makes more than $100k a year. So no, it’s not really middle of the road.

Looking forward to your updates.

What im really looking forward to following is after you get to Japan and have to flip stuff at Japanese garage sales to get back home.

That's enough to make a quick trip to New Orleans east along Chef... Not Japan, but a mini Vietnam.

Maybe it will start snowballing. I hope it does. I say that because, being that you’ve set a goal of $8,000 for the trip and you’ve made $133 in 5 months, that means, at your current earning rate, you will reach your goal in a little over 25 years.

I could see Jason Statham as "The Flipper," and ex-hitman-turned-flipper, living the quiet life down da bayou, who gets sucked back into his ole, arse-kickin' habits when his sweetheart is murdered while they are out buying old jacuzzi parts on facebook marketplace.
You have a talent for this.

Does ebay charge 15% for item sales or does your $ include taxes, extra shipping costs etc?
eBay charges about 12%, plus I promote all my items at a 3% rate.
As for shipping, eBay does charge for that as well, but I usually make $1-$3 an item on shipping, so it’s a wash on shipping fees

ok, how are you selling a $2 zippo for $50?
Older zippos are worth $$$. I’ve sold. Some old zippos for $100+ each.
These two zippos were over 50 years old.
I grab every zippo I come across, but just zippo, no other brand.

I set mine at 3%. I do this to get my listing above anyone that doesn’t promote. I started this a few months ago and did see an increase in traffic.

Hell no!!! My hobby is the hunt, not the money. I have no desire to buy a storage unit. I feel that 90% of the abandoned units are just people came and took out what they wanted, left the garbage.

Japan was cool... it was hot as frick when we went, but Kyoto was beautiful and our favorite place... in Osaka, i had the best hamburger i've ever had in my life at this place near the aquarium... Tokyo was cool too

In his sub demographic I'm sure it's middle of the road. Middle aged, college educated white male.
Actually curious what white males over the age of 30 average is. Seems like every tom, dick, and larry I know makes that much by their 30s these days. Even the morons.
