Welcome to Pure Hustle podcast.

0:07.0

I'm Mike.

0:08.0

And this is Orlando and we're in episode 490 490 episodes in and today is a themed episode.

0:18.0

And the way our normal routine works is every other week we have a different type of

0:21.6

episode so we have our update episodes one week which is where we get to talk about what's

0:26.6

going on in the reselling world in general what we're doing reselling wise and then the

0:32.1

following week which is now we do our themed episodes so we get to talk about something a

0:35.9

little bit more specific so it might be things like taxes or bookkeeping or shipping or something to do with a new platform

0:44.8

but today we're talking about probably our favorite thing in the entire world well when it comes

0:50.9

to reselling at least and that is garage sales.

0:56.3

We are doing our garage sale episode.

1:01.7

And for those of you who are new to reselling, this is going to be a great place to start.

1:06.0

And if you've been reselling for a long time, please listen, because there's going to be some tips, tricks, and hopefully some things that you can take from this episode.

1:08.8

And then also feel free to share in the comments and, you know, below and in our,

And listen, I always get the people that are like, oh, you guys talk about the same stuff over and over again. Listen, but well, there's only so many ways to do this kind of reselling, but there's always new insights that you can gain, right? And there's always stuff I'm learning as I go to garage sales.

2:18.7

And we have a lot of new listeners that come on the podcast and they're worried about garage sales. A lot of people just do the thrift store thing, which, you know, Mike, would you agree? Thrift stores are just brutal. Like it's our experience. Yeah. Yeah. There's pros and cons to everything. like one of the pros to thrift stores is you've got, you know, a wider amount of time. There's a bigger time window throughout the week and throughout a day that you can go. So if you're just trying to get your feet wet and get your eyes on products and practice scanning items and seeing what things are worth on looking up comps, there's still some benefits there. And you can certainly find good items depending on if you have some local thrift stores that are a good honeyhole for you.
