Buying and selling…I have been getting into that more lately. So far it has been mostly just buying. I’m hoping the selling starts up soon. I have been watching lots of YouTube videos lately made by people who do B/S for a living.
I think I first learned about buying and selling from my Grandpa. He was what some people called a junker. He went around picking up junk the night before garbage day, fixed it, and sold it. He picked up bikes, dressers, chairs, or anything he could fix and sell. Grandpa also had a huge garden that yielded veggies, potatoes, tomatoes, and other plants. He also had various fruit trees and berry bushes. He sold them in front of the house. Grandpa’s house was on as busy road and people constantly stopped to buy stuff.
Not only did he make money doing this, but it kept him busy. He truly enjoyed it.
I could go on and on about my Grandpa, but i’ll save that for another blog. My point is, I was exposed to buying and selling at a young age. I didn’t really do any of it until the internet came around. I remember the early days of Ebay where my sister bought a board game for a quarter and sold it for at least 20 dollars. Over the years, I have sold some things here and there. It wasn’t a fulltime job at all. I probably went several years between selling things. It seemed to go in spurts. I would sell a few things in a week then nothing for months.
Well, I’m going to try and get more things sold now. I don’t have the time to do as much as the youtubers, but I’m trying to learn a lot and get as much help as I can. I have talked to lots of people about it, but none are really into the idea as much as me.
So, in closing, I am trying to get this hobby going and make some extra money in the process. Any comments or questions would be appreciated. Thanks.
