Welcome to Peer Russell podcast. I'm Mike. And this is Orlando and we're in episode 420. This is a themed episode.

That's right. We did a couple of back-to-back update episodes where we dropped the current events happening in reselling, we were doing reselling wise but this is one

of our themed episodes and on the themed episodes we talk about a specific aspect of reselling

it could be shipping it could be you know packing it could be sourcing but today we're going to

thriving because of it. Other resellers have been trying to do the same old, same old. I would put

myself in the category of doing the same old, hoping for the same results, and they just haven't

happened. And I always say, like, hey, if your sales are slow on eBay, if you're picking up the
