Doug:
All right today, we welcome Ed The Reselling Rider. Part-Time shoe seller, flea marketer, thrift storer YouTuber, lots of authentic content on there. We love it. Motorcycle Rider, List Perfectly user and big supporter, and a dad. So balancing a ton, but thanks Ed for taking the time and welcome to the show.
Ed:
Thank you. Thank you so much for having me on. I really appreciate it.
Clara:
Welcome, Ed. So happy to have you here. What a pleasure to get to know you better and thank you for making time to share your reselling journey with us and our incredible audience.
Ed:
Of course. Again, thank you for having me on
Doug:
So Ed, the first question that pops into my head is I’ve always wondered where the name Ed The Reselling Rider came from. You’re into motorcycles, it says so on your Instagram bio. So is that where it came from?
Ed:
Yes, that is exactly where it came from. At first, people were confused thinking that I was talking about Uber or that kind of stuff. I dunno what the other ones are called because that’s where my name came from. Because I loved riding motorcycles. I ride mostly adventure motorcycles. So mainly for long distance. Oh, okay. I’ve done a motorcycle ride where it was a thousand miles under 24 hours from Redondo Beach, California, all the way to Bend Oregon to visit the last Blockbuster on the planet and also to become and also to become part of a certain organization of motorcycle riders that do those kinds of, challenges and you have to accomplish a thousand miles under 24 hours and that’s exactly what I did.
Doug:
So did you have a late fee you had to take care of?
Ed:
<Laugh> no, I mean maybe I did, but…
Doug:
Yeah, that’s in the past…
Ed:
But yeah…
Doug:
That’s a cool story though.
Ed:
Yeah, but we, I went, I did the journey with a friend because doing those kinds of journeys alone is kind of, it’s actually dangerous. And going through a very secluded part of Nevada, we almost ran outta gas.
Clara:
Oh wow!
Ed:
Thankfully we just found this random little gas station and we actually got a fil up there, but, and then that’s that, we ended up heading out to Bend Oregon afterward just to visit that. And of course, but it was, it was a fun experience. It was.
Doug:
Wow. Wow.
Clara:
So now I gotta ask, so what’s up with the Zero and Zora?
Ed:
That was when I and my girlfriend were doing it more together. Yeah. And I haven’t been, I haven’t been able to change my store name since, but I have, I haven’t been, ever changed the the URL link, but I, my store name is Zero’s Garage.
Clara:
Yeah.
Ed:
And that’s I think that’s what I initially did it when I was just barely starting reselling and I wasn’t exactly thinking that I, I was, I wasn’t thinking of a name. I just wanted to get something up.
Clara:
<Laugh> yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. Okay. I love it. And do you remember what was the first, do you remember, what was the first thing you sold and you purchased online?
Ed:
So the first thing I purchased on eBay was because of motorcycles and that was actually the reason I even created an account, I believe. I think I started my account in like 2014 or so, and it was for a motorcycle part and I did, I just knew that eBay was a place to go for it because they had all the aftermarket accessories that you couldn’t get anywhere else. Yeah. And then that’s how I started with an eBay account. And then the first thing I sold was actually a Kingdom Hearts III PlayStation video game. And that’s how my reselling journey started. <Laugh>
Clara:
<Laugh> I love video games. I love it. It’s a PlayStation. Okay. I’m and yeah, I love it. <Laugh> What’s your favorite video game?
Ed:
I actually don’t have many cuz I have no time to play video games anymore. I mostly just play mobile games and it’s one called Clash Royale. And that’s what I use to spend my time on whenever I have any free time.
Clara:
<Laugh> I love it. I love it.
Doug:
Yeah. My son plays that. He’s trying to get me on it, so <laugh> downloaded it, but I haven’t played it. I played it a bit back. He’s said, you know, what’s back in is Pokemon Go is back.
Ed:
Wow. Yes. My girlfriend is playing it right now. <Laugh>
Clara:
Really surprised. Yeah, I’ve heard it all.
Doug:
So when I worked at eBay, when I first started there, it was huge and we were all playing it up at eBay, and then, you know, it was big, and then it just kind of ch, ch, ch, and now it’s back again. It’s very odd to me.
Ed:
I don’t know if you know about the Long Beach Pike, or the outlets over there in Long Beach. Yeah. At nighttime, there is a huge Pokemon Go community out there that they go to the lighthouse just so they could fight for the gym. That’s right there at, to trade on whatever else they do with the game.
Clara:
<Laugh> oh, no, that’s just incredible. Well, I lived in Long Beach for so long. Okay. So Amanda and I, lived in Long Beach, so that’s where we met actually. So yeah, that’s incredible to know there, you have it in Long Beach. Okay. For the fans of Pokemon.
Ed:
<Laugh>. There you go. Yeah.
Doug:
Yeah. No Long Beach. I like Long Beach. It’s a cool, cool city. So ed, how long have you been selling online?
Ed:
I’ve been selling since September of 2019. So I think that’s enough, that puts me at like two and a half years. Give or take.
Doug:
All right. Nice.
Clara:
But you are reselling as a part-timer, right?
Ed:
Yes, I do resell as part-time, but when I try to explain it to some people they’re kind of baffled when I say part-time because they see my inventory, they see how much I get, they see the mess that I have in my garage. It’s like, <laugh> are you really part-time? And I’m like, yes, I am part-time <laugh>
Clara:
I love it. I love it. How did you get into selling online? Ed, I’m curious.
Ed:
So it actually started with my girlfriend’s sister. Yeah. Recommending it for her to do it while she’s well, she was still pregnant with our daughter. Yeah. And she recommended it to her while I was out working. And then for some reason that just caught my attention. I’m like, you know what, I’m gonna go on YouTube and research videos. And then the first ones that came up were the usual ones, Ralli Roots at the time. I believe it was a lot of Josh and Hairy Tornado when he was still a smaller YouTube channel. Yeah. And then Ready Set Resell and the bigger channels of course. And I started researching that. And then I say probably the first few days, it really caught my interest. So I didn’t actually put my first item up until three and a half weeks after I finished doing all my research, because I wanted to know how to do everything correctly before I even posted the first item.
Clara:
<Laugh> love it.
Doug:
Yeah. Yeah. We’ve definitely had Hairy Tornado on the show. We’re working on Ralli Roots, but they’re good friends of ours.
Clara:
Yes, absolutely.
Doug:
Yeah, yeah, no, they’re cool. And they put out a lot of great content and you do too. So Ed, you’re primarily a shoe seller, right?
Ed:
Yes.
Doug:
And so what made you pick the shoe category?
Ed:
To be honest, I have no idea. <Laugh> The best thing I can probably remember the reason I chose shoes was that one day my girlfriend was scrolling Instagram and she found RNZY and then he was, he was doing a live <laugh>. And then for some reason, the way that he was explaining all the shoes, he, he, you know, he’s very knowledgeable. So I was watching his live. And for some reason, when he was explaining the shoes and everything, it just caught my attention again. Cuz I was doing clothing, I was doing toys. I was doing everything but mostly clothing at the time. And I just had maybe like 10 pairs of shoes. Every time I would do clothing, I’m like, I don’t wanna do this. I don’t wanna do the measuring tape. I don’t wanna do measurements. I just don’t like it. Yeah. And then every time, every time I would do shoes, I’m like, this is easy. I actually know it. And it’s fun. I enjoy doing shoes. And then that’s when I started focusing more on shoes than on clothing.
Clara:
What incredible, that’s an incredible way to find your, let’s say your niche. I’m so happy. I tried to sell shoes and I failed miserably <laugh> but I did not watch Ryan and Lindsay and I did not hang out with you. Okay. <laugh>
Ed:
And some people, are really adamant about not even touching new shoes. They really don’t want to, so that’s even a perfect market for me cuz here in Southern California, for some reason you see a lot of resellers, but a lot of them are clothing resellers. They don’t even wanna bother with shoes. <Laugh>
Clara:
Me. That was me. That was one of the, okay. That’s incredible. That you were fine because it’s not easy to fix in California in the, so I, I need to go, you know, me and reselling. Okay. So let’s go back to reselling for a second. Okay. Of course. So before you got, you met List Perfectly, where were you selling, and with List Perfectly where are you currently selling now, please?
Ed:
Sure. So before List Perfectly, I was only doing eBay and then dabbling with Mercari. And that was it. I think I had like maybe three things on Poshmark, but I didn’t like the format at the time. Yeah. So I just, I, I left it there and didn’t care too much about it, but before I was doing the copy and paste method <laugh> and I just, I did not like it. So I was just doing eBay at the time. And you can imagine at that time it was more me just doing it very casually. I was not thinking about it as if I got something fine. There it is. Yeah. And now with List Perfectly I’m on four marketplaces, eBay, Mercari, Poshmark, and Facebook. eBay, highest, Poshmark my second highest, the platform that I didn’t is actually my second highest now. And then it’s Mercari and lastly is Facebook. Yeah. List Perfectly has definitely helped me out. And I’m like, I’m always glad that I found you guys because if not I don’t even know where I would be with my business. And more than likely I would have a lot of orders canceled because I wouldn’t even know where what I have online and what I wouldn’t have online. <Laugh>
Clara:
<Laugh> that’s awesome. I love that too, to hear that it’s really nice, great, great choices of those four platforms. I had no idea that Poshmark was your second platform making the most, and you do mostly pre-owned shoes, right? Pre-Loved.
Ed:
Yes. I’d say maybe 95% pre-owned and like very few new ones if I ever find them.
Clara:
Well, go figure there. You have it. Shoe sellers in Poshmark. <Laugh>
Doug:
There you go. Yes. I know a ton of shoe sellers. I might know more shoe sellers than anything. I don’t know. So, Ed, you mentioned earlier that you are a part-time seller, even though your friends don’t believe you <laugh>. So do you wanna tell us what your other job is?
Ed:
Sure. So I, I mean, can’t go too much into detail. But I do, I do work in the car industry as a marketing coordinator and I do get experience from that with social media and that’s where I get some of my ideas, but yes I am in the car industry.
Doug:
Okay, cool.
Clara:
And advertising and reselling. Yeah. And father <laugh> yes.
Ed:
All of the whole package <laugh>
Clara:
Yes. Speaking about all of that. Okay. Can you please share with our audience, if, how you balance selling online, working full time, and being a father? How do you do it, please?
Ed:
I gotta give all the credit actually to my girlfriend. She’s the one that basically dragged me. Well, I wouldn’t say dragged, but she gave me the idea of reselling from her family side. She takes care of the kids when I’m at work. And also when I come back home and take pictures, upload them, she’s the one that takes care of the kids and on the weekends. Yeah. She actually helped me recently as well, she gets her things. She actually takes photos of them and she uploads them. But I do all the other heavy, heavy lifting stuff, but she’s the reason why I’m able to do it. Part-Time but some people consider it full-time. But I mean, to me it’s part-time but maybe I don’t, maybe I put in a lot more time than a regular part-timer does. So maybe that’s why some people see it as full-time and then me doing YouTube as well and doing other content and other, so maybe that’s why they have a hard time believing on part-time but I am
Clara:
<Laugh>. Well, the thing is that you have a full-time partner, life partner, and business partner. So I guess for those that don’t have that. Okay. It does feel like you have that advantage so that perception, so I can see it from someone that is alone with that life partner or a business partner.
Ed:
It is kind of hard with my daughter mostly because she sees me taking pictures of shoes and she wants to help. She mostly just grabs it from the bag and then she gives it to me and she just says shoes and then she’s just happy about it. Like, okay, thank you. <Laugh>
Clara:
I love it. So cute.
Doug:
That’s awesome. Part of the support system. And then, so did your wife teach you, you know, is she basically your mentor in selling online?
Ed:
No. I learned everything myself. I learned everything from YouTube. I’m the one that’s actually teaching her cuz she, and her parents work at swap meets. So they’re the ones who actually taught me some things as well because I think they sold some things online as well. I’m not a hundred percent sure about that. I, I learned from them then I learned some stuff from her cuz she did pick up on some things, but now I’m teaching her how to do the online part because that’s more, it, it takes a lot more knowledge than what she can actually learn right now because her primary objective is to watch the kids. And that’s what I asked her to do. So whatever I can learn, I just tell her that way she doesn’t have to do the heavy lifting, since I already have the knowledge.
Clara:
Yep. Now I go figure. So you have relatives that work on swap meets. So that gives you a slight advantage when it comes to sourcing and having context. Right?
Ed:
Not as much actually, because at the same time they’re resellers too. So yeah, if they tell me their sources, I become their competition. <Laugh>
Clara:
<Laugh>
Ed:
Sometimes I do get stuff from them. I bought it. I think my first big purchase was actually from them and it was actually a mistake purchase because I wasn’t making much money from it, but that’s when I was just learning. So that’s, you know, I helped them, they helped me and it’s basically just a give and take the relationship too.
Clara:
But one of the things I do like about swap meets, Ed, okay, is the camaraderie that is in between sellers.
Ed:
Yes. Yes.
Clara:
And that’s when you can take advantage, you know, not from your relatives, but from other sellers. I love that one because once you know one seller it’s like, everybody’s like, okay, you’re known and you’re in the network. <Laugh> yes.
Ed:
And, there was one, one vendor that actually went to every single time. Yeah. And one time they, I was happy cuz I wanted a toy and, and they saw that my daughter had it and I just said, how much do you want for the toy? And I was like, take it. So like, oh thank you. And so, and then the following week I told ’em was like, you know what, I’m gonna just bring you something to drink. I gave him a drink and it’s just been the, it’s been the good relationship that we’ve been having. So it’s like that, that’s the best part about swap meets or flea markets in my opinion is because you can have a relationship with the vendor. You can have that with the thrift stores too but that’s a different feeling. Yes. With the swap meet, it’s just a vendor and if you have a good relationship with them, they’ll help you out.
Clara:
Yes. They will. Thank you for sharing that. There you have it. I’ve done that with each and every swap meet I’ve done, you know, and it’s a relationship that lasts forever and they’ll remember you.
Ed:
Mm-hmm <affirmative> yeah.
Clara:
So tell us about your YouTube channel. What can we find there please Ed?
Ed:
Sure. on my YouTube channel it’s Ed The Reselling Rider and right there it is. It’s a lot of general information, Are any new updates from the marketplaces? I do List Perfectly videos of course. And <laugh> like just this morning, actually I did a short about List Perfectly because I was…
Clara:
Oh really?
Ed:
I did. I was re-listing and delisting some clothing items that I completely forgot about from 2020. So I was like, okay, I really gotta do something about that. And then that’s when I decided to do the video because of course List Perfectly is the best in my opinion.
Clara:
Ah, thank you.
Ed:
But yeah, you could find a bunch of information there. I do have a weekly show that I do with another YouTuber and we do that on his channel, which you know, I’ll mention later on. Yeah. It’s just general information that it’s not just to go to a thrift store, go to a yard sale, or a flea market. It’s literally everything. I don’t really do too many of the thrift and yard sale videos, but when I do, I do them, but yeah, I’ve noticed that when people watch my videos, they want more of the informational stuff. Then they do want to go see my thrift or do those kinds of videos.
Doug:
And so you said you learned from a ton of other YouTubers. So was that the push that got you on YouTube? Was there something else or what was it that got you to start your own YouTube channel?
Ed:
I honestly can’t remember the reason why I started YouTube actually. I really can’t remember the reason. I know one day like one of my very first videos, all I did was put a new eBay reseller showing what sold and that’s that I think that’s all I did and I was just doing it casually. I don’t. And I think the reason I believe I started YouTube was because of the community. I ended up going to a livestream and then that’s where everybody knew each other. And then all I did was say hi, and then all of a sudden I got a bunch of subscribers. A lot of people started talking to me and then that’s, I think that’s when probably when I said, you know what, I’m gonna try to be more active in the community. And then that’s when I think, I believe that’s the reason, but I’m not a hundred percent sure. Okay.
Clara:
<Laugh> we like it. We like it. In addition, what other social media channels do you use Ed?
Ed:
So I use Instagram TikTok. Oh. And I believe those are the only two I use. Instagram is just the same Ed The Reselling Rider with a bunch of underscores and TikTok is just the same thing together, but I don’t really use TikTok too often. I just use it from time to time.
Clara:
And what do you use TikTok for and Instagram and YouTube, what would you say you use each channel for?
Ed:
So for YouTube, I actually use it to learn more about reselling content. I mean more reselling information or whatever I can learn about it. So generally I watch some souls, not as much though, but I would like to listen to eBay informational videos or just resell information because while I’m doing my regular job, I just have my headphones on and I’m listening to the people talk. So I can’t, I can’t watch what’s sold because that’s a very visual thing. So I actually have to see it. So when you’re doing the List Perfectly live, I always have you guys in my headset, but I can’t talk back because I, I can’t, I can’t type, but I always have you guys on.
Clara:
Aw, thank you. You’re working.
Ed:
Yes. TikTok. I just put on little shorts here and there. I don’t really use it too often. I mostly use that for personal reasons. Mostly like just to learn cooking ideas. <Laugh>
Clara:
<Laugh> nice. Nice.
Ed:
But yeah. And then, and then Instagram, I used to actually promote my YouTube channel. Oh. I don’t, I don’t really like to put my eBay store out too much just for many reasons, but I, I just try to do it from time to time, I guess.
Clara:
Yeah. For your social media. Okay. Yeah. More than for reselling, you’re using it for your social media to build an audience.
Doug:
So how did you discover List Perfectly?
Ed:
I discovered List Perfectly through Casey actually. And, and just, just like, I stumbled onto that one life where I started doing YouTube one day I was just on YouTube and then live that, that case. And I’m, I know it was a Thursday actually because that’s when he used to do his live, Clara and Amanda were on their life at that time. I never even thought about crossposting because I was just doing eBay. I was dabbling in Mercari, but I never thought that there was actually stuff out there to actually help you quit crosslisting. So that’s when Clara and Amanda were there. I think you guys were already at like the three-fourth point of the live. So it was almost over that day. I’m like, huh, let me check, let me look into this. And then of course I went on it and I didn’t get it cuz it’s like, eh, that’s more money. I’m not making enough. I can’t afford it. And then the next day I looked at it again, I was like, all, you know what, let me try with the Business Plan. Yeah. And then that’s when everything changed. That’s when my business basically just went up afterward. Yeah. But I do, I do think that live. And so that life just popped into my homepage. I didn’t, I had never seen any of those kinds of videos before. And it just recommended me that day, that live like, oh, let me see what this is about. Yeah. And then that’s how I even discovered it. So I discovered List Perfect by accident. <Laugh>
Doug:
<Laugh> wow. Via Casey, The Rockstar Flipper.
Clara:
That’s right. That’s right. And so you have, you have mentioned to us how List Perfectly changed your business, but could you share with our audience? I understand, you know, we can quantify, you know, and we don’t wanna go into finance, but what would you say? You know, if you have to say, you know, like a percentage, how much has List Perfectly helped you grow your business?
Ed:
I wanna say maybe 70, 70%, or more actually, because like I said, eBay was great.
Clara:
Yeah.
Ed:
But Poshmark has definitely helped out a lot, especially with shoes. So without List Perfectly, I wouldn’t have even bothered to list on Poshmark because for one, I would’ve forgotten what I even have listed there. But the reason I believe it really has helped me is because of the catalog. That is what really, really helped me out with the organizational skills. Yeah. Because I’m somewhat organized myself, but when I can’t do it online, if I don’t have a spreadsheet or anything, I’m not gonna know if it’s gonna be on one platform or not. Yeah. And that’s the reason why it’s helped my business so much, that catalog is one of the best features of List Perfectly.
Clara:
Aw, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. So you use the listing, relisting, mark sold, all that stuff.
Ed:
Yes. I use everything. I have the Pro Plan. Now I started off with the Business Plan for about six months I believe. Yeah. And then when the PhotoRoom integration happened, that’s when I jumped on the Pro Plan.
Clara:
Yeah. Great choice Ed. Thank you for sharing.
Doug:
<Laugh> List Perfectly power user.
Clara:
Yeah.
Ed:
Every single day, every single day. On my phone, on my computer, everywhere I can.
Clara:
<Laugh> love it.
Doug:
So you said the catalog is one of the best features of List Perfectly. What’s your single favorite List Perfectly feature?
Clara:
Yeah.
Ed:
The background remover.
Clara:
Thank you PhotoRroom, thank you. <Laugh>
Ed:
Yes. That’s it. I mean, that’s my favorite one, because you can do everything right there, but I mean, I just love everything about it. Like I can’t say I can pick a top favorite because it’s hard to choose. It really is <laugh> but I, I love, I love PhotoRoom. I love the catalog. Of course, I love the fact that you can save your pictures there. After that, you don’t need to have ’em on your phone anymore. That is one of the most important things that I believe is good for us resellers. Because if you have a stale listing, you’re gonna have to go back to your phone through thousands of photos, just to find that one, that correct one. And who knows if you’re even doing the correct one too?
Clara:
That’s so true. I know. I know. And then you think you’re doing the right thing and then you find like you know, like a tag of a shoe, you know, on a, on a t-shirt I’ve done that so many times. What is next for your businesses? What, do you see as the next step for your next goal that you would like to really accomplish for your businesses?
Ed:
My next goal right now is just to basically get by through this hard time.
Clara:
Well, it’s not easy with the pandemic, you know, naturally. I was just talking last week about recession and inflation.
Ed:
So, Ed, you’ve learned from so many other sellers and obviously, sellers are learning from you, but let’s get a couple of tips straight from you. So what tips do you have for somebody that’s just starting out to sell online?
Ed:
You’re gonna fail in the beginning. <Laugh> yeah. The one thing, especially for new people that I wanna really focus on is all the big YouTubes that you see on YouTube right now. They’re only showing you the good side of reselling. To be honest, it’s good to see the big YouTubers. It really is. But at the same time, you might wanna check the smaller channels because they actually show you the bad side as well. The bad side is you’re gonna get items that you make mistakes on. You’re gonna get items that are ripped, broken, decaying, everything, but just know that you’re gonna have your bad days. You’re gonna have your amazing days. Never let that one bad day mess up your maybe four, five good day weeks that you might have, it’s gonna happen. And that’s really the best advice I can give you guys.
Ed:
And also don’t put your eggs on one platform because you never know what’s gonna happen. Look into List Perfectly. I know that this is the List Perfectly podcast, but use it because you never know, say you get banned on eBay for something you didn’t even do. You have 3, 4, and 5 other marketplaces. You can go to venture out and trust me, you’ll be fine. But yes, never give up even on that first bad day, because you will be having them and never believe someone saying that, no, it’s not gonna happen. It’s like, it’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when because it will happen.
Clara:
Powerful. Very powerful. Thank you for saying those words. Speaking about that, what’s the one thing you wish you knew, okay, when you started reselling?
Ed:
I wish I knew about crosslisting <laugh> I, really did because I started close to quarter four and I wish I would’ve known about that. I could have maybe made more sales, but granted I was just learning at the time. So I wish I knew about it earlier. I wish I could have gotten the hang of it a lot faster, but now I do, but I wish I knew that a lot earlier because I was just focusing on eBay, and don’t get me wrong. Yeah. People are successful on eBay, but you can also be successful on eBay and other platforms.
Doug:
Give us three adjectives that you use to describe yourself.
Ed:
I wanna say hardworking because I am. As soon as I get off work, I do more work. Probably just passionate about this because I really am passionate about reselling. I really am. Don’t tell my work guys, but I’m more passionate about reselling than I am my job.
Doug:
We won’t tell them. This does go out though. So they might hear it.
Clara:
Audience, don’t say anything OK…
Ed:
<Laugh> and then just, I’m stubborn.
Doug:
<Laugh>
Ed:
Cause my girlfriend tells me that I have too much stuff in my pile right now. And she tells me not to go to the swap meet anymore. And then Saturday we wake up. All right, we’re going to the swap meet. She gives me that look. I’m like, all right, we’re going <laugh>
Clara:
It’s not hoarding. It’s an investment. It’s inventory.
Ed:
<Laugh> exactly.
Clara:
All right. Is there anything you would like, to add for our incredible audience to, you know, remember you or have a tip or any advice for them, please?
Ed:
Just the same tip. You know, you’re gonna have your bad days. You’re gonna have your good days. Never give up. If this is something you truly wanna do, you’re gonna power through it. Take me for example, I’m part-time, I have my family, I’m the sole provider of my household and I’m able to do it. If I can do it, there’s nothing stopping you from doing it. The only person that’s stopping you is yourself. If you have no passion for it, if you have no drive for it, you’re never gonna get anywhere in this business. Reselling is fun, but don’t believe what you see in videos, because reselling takes a lot of work and energy, and you’re not gonna get rich quick. It’s gonna take years before you even reach that point. So just be patient, have fun and you know, get involved in the community because a community is very helpful. And even though they are your competition, they will still help you. That’s how helpful this whole community is.
Clara:
<Laugh> great words, thank you so much. Ed, oh my God. Those were spot on. I couldn’t agree more with those tips. Thank you for your time. Thank you for being here and above everything, thank you for sharing. Always your honest advice to guide our community with incredible tips and resources.
Ed:
Of course. Thank you for having me. I really am honored to be here and I respect you guys so much. You have no idea. <Laugh>
Clara:
It’s mutual.
Doug:
Oh, definitely mutual. And thanks so much. Ed The Reselling Rider. Find him on his amazing YouTube where he’s offering some of the advice that he’s learned from others. A great part of the community. Find him on Instagram and TikTok. And then he’s a huge List Perfectly supporter. He’s always, well, you say you were always listening, but sometimes you do participate in the comments. So that’s great. I always see you there.
Ed:
Yes, yes. And I will attend all the ones that I can.
Doug:
All right. We appreciate it. Thanks so much, Ed.
Ed:
Thank you so much.
Doug:
Let’s pause for a quick commercial break…List Perfectly is sponsoring a couple of seller events this year. eBay Open is online, not in person, but first of all, we’ve got FlipCon coming up. Flip Con 2022, which is hosted by Phoenix Resale and Hairy Tornado. So FlipCon 2022 is on August 24th and August 25th in Charlotte, North Carolina. You’ll be able to hang out with Phoenix Resale and Hairy Tornado in person. Other speakers include American Arbitrage Dealing with Dalton, Profit Monsters, Hustle at Home Mom, Hustlin Hooks, Reezy Resells, Kat the Nurse Flipper, Commonwealth Picker, and more. Tickets are on sale now. Five hours of panels, three catered meals, and more. List Perfectly is the headline sponsor and we’ll be there. So FlipCon 2022, for more information on that, you can go to flipcon.net. So FlipCon is on the East Coast. Doug: For you, West Coast peeps we’ve also got the return of BOSS Reseller Remix. List Perfectly is sponsoring that as well, a popular event put on by Katy Zilverberg and Vikki Eagan, and Theresa Cox. Las Vegas, October 10th, through the 13th, tickets are on sale at resellerremix.com. Some of the speakers there include, of course, Katie and Vikki, and the Ralli Roots, Hairy Tornado, Ken, the Hustle Bee, Trish Glenn, Super Sale Trish, Casey Rockstar Flipper, Wade Coggins of Wades Ventures, Danni Ackerman, The Niche Lady and much more. Doug: So again, List Perfectly is happy to sponsor those two events. One on the East Coast, Flip Con. One on the West Coast BOSS Reseller Remix. All those sellers will be there. Great place to network. List Perfectly will be there as well.
