Mistakes that don't have a major effect on well being are fine to make, they are how you learn. Mistakes that could possibly shut down your operation if you are new are things you want to learn before the ...

I used a first class business policy on a few items I sold on ebay that were well under 13 Oz and that I put in a bubble mailer, the shipping was $5.02
Hey mike this is kevin idk if you remember me i was the one that had the yard sale with action, figures, pokemon cards, and comic books i also traded you some things. Im thinking about coming to trade you some things for action figures tomorrow. Oh and i finally got the computer i wanted. Good work renovating the building when I came there it looked like a new one. idk if i was one of your first customers but hopefully im remembered lol. Anyways its amazing how dedicated you guys were thats hard opening a store. Good luck i might see you guys tomorrow. Also if you find any sh figuarts dragon ball figures lmk
Hey Kevin! ofcourse I remember. Stop up sometime and we can talk more, glad to you hear you were able to get the PC!
Congrats!
Nice to see you doing well. Hope your business continues to have success!
Will you be selling online? Long time fan..
Yes, we already have a well established eBay account, we sell on our website, and we sell vintage items cross platform between eBay, Etsy, and Facebook. A large portion of our business is online.
Very well done video! I'm so happy for you both. The shop is amazing and a nice fun place to hang out. I hope nothing but the best for you. I'll be in to get my magic cards soon!
Thanks Mike! so happy you enjoyed magic. Tell Cindy we have some Pusheen in she needs to check out :D
Nice job on starting your business! I actually live right down the street from you. But I do have one suggestion, if you can, selling vintage computer parts and overall vintage tech would be a cool expansion to The Geek Peek!
I will keep an eye out at garage sales and estates, overall I don't run into these types of items to much. Or if I do, they are very beat up.
Clicked your video and was like , i know this guy! Glad to see you back
Thank you Lawrence, glad to be back!
No way Mike has come up on my feed. I used to watch you back in 2015 religiously when you sold things on eBay from your home. I hope you are doing well health wise. I remember you took a little break to focus on your health👍🏾
Tyler, what is up! thanks for being around all these years. Yes, I was away for a long time with some serious neurological and pain issues. I still deal with a number of issues, but have learned to work around them for the most part. Hope all is well on your end.
Glad to hear you’re working around them. All good over here. Wishing you all the best on this journey. Will still be around to support the channel grown
Hey Mike!! Glad to see you made a video again. I’m happy for you! Congrats!! 🎉
Thank you, that means a lot. As time permits I'll post more videos of the process and everything going on behind the scenes.
Congratulations on opening your business!
Thank you! Andrew? If so, hope you are well.
@@MichaelJosephPierceno not Andrew but my user name is very simular to Andrews; I hope he is doing well too
Haven't heard from him in a while, but he seems to be doing well from what I looked up.
@@MichaelJosephPiercethat is good to know
Have you cured it now
Good to see you guys still doing well..... Our reselling company retired this year but still fun to watch some early inspirations...
Do you have dysautonomia also?
Fybromyalgia us a part of it
I'm so sorry Michael. I have a nerve entrapment to a major nerve in the pelvis. I understand the endless torture you're going through. We both try our best, and that's all we can ask for.
Is your CS better now
What medication were you on thanks
Hi Mike! Are you still in reselling? I have some kind of offer if you will be interested of course. I almost learned Amazon watching your videos.
Yep, going strong. Just took a break from content while I finished my degree.
@@MichaelJosephPierce Thats great! . Please check, i just sent you a letter. On address I found in channel info
A 6 ounce package is charged the same as an 8 ounce package. First Class packages are broken down into four categories for pricing. 1. Up to 4 ounces. 2. 4.1 ounces to 8 ounces. 3. 8.1 ounces to 12 ounces. 4. 12.1 ounces to 15.99 ounces.
Ummmm... the Tyvek envelopes are not flat rate.
First Class packages can weigh up to 15.99 ounces.
Wow I was just scrolling through channels that I had subscribed to in the past and saw yours. I have thought about your over the years and was so very very happy to see you back!!! Such lovely news!!! All the best!
Welcome back! I've watched you back from your early days when I wanted to start my own business. Glad your feeling better despite the daily pain.
Nice to see you back in the game!
Glad to see you back buddy, and see you doing better. I learned a lot from you on my reselling journey.
Thanks man! Means alot. Glad to be back. More videos soon after finals week
I watched you 7 or 8 years ago man. It took me forever to remember your last name. Glad to see your doing better. I know you hit a rough patch.
Thank you. Yeah I suffered an auto immune attack on my spinal cord which led to some terrible issues. Doing so much better now! We have been rocking it on eBay. More content to come when my school semester lets up
It's crazy I learned from this homie how to ship for cheap when I first started selling
Awesome. Thanks for checking out the content for so long. My old shipping videos blew up! I will be making updated versions soon!
I think the insignia on the blue jacket is US Air Force.
That's what I thought, I am looking for more information what the purpose of the blazer is and how I can find more information about its time period. Thank you
@@MichaelJosephPierce It is Air Force I had a jacket just like it back in the seventies it's from Vietnam war. I was not in the Air Force I was in middle school. If you were a student And you wore a military jacket it was to protest the war. PS I'm glad you're doing better .
You are right!! I’ve always loved and still do all your videos!! You have helped me a lot!! Thank You
Thank you Lynell, appreciate the support and checking out the new videos.
Man I love this video! I personally don't believe in luck generally speaking, and the way you described your outlook on luck was elegantly said, as if you took it out of my own brain. Keep doing what you're doing and over time your metrics are going to get to where you want them, because you have the knowledge and the work ethic! Watching your videos again makes me want to branch out of my niche and get some random stuff laying around sold on eBay like I used to years back :) Thanks for keeping up with the content Mike!
Branch out and try some stuff. I find it to be some much fun learning and researching different inventory. Really a cool tool to accumulate knowledge. Thanks for the ongoing support!
Don't know how I bumped onto this. All in all Damn good video 🤩🤩🤩. I also have been watching those rather similar from MStarTutorials and kinda wonder how you guys create these stuff. MStar Tutorials also had cool information about similiar make money online things on his channel.
Thanks! welcome to the channel. We appreciate the love and support.
Where does the money go, that is spent on unused labels that didn't get voided within the couple of days time limit?
I don't actually know. I would assume the post office? You have quite a while to void if the label is unused.
@@MichaelJosephPierce 5 days? I feel like there shouldn't be a deadline. If you pay for a service that you don't receive, it only makes sense that you should be refunded, no matter the timeline. I have had several labels that I paid for, and didn't end up using, due to a cancellation, or other reasons, and after a few days, the option to void the label disappears from the options, and that's it. Somebody keeps the money, and I just wondered who that was.
I agree with you Mike. It's funny how I was told my photos were so clean they looked fake. I have relaxed a little bit with them, but my OCD will not let me get lax and I know they are a big reason my items sell. Also, I believe in thorough descriptions and item specific. Currently I am in the process of making a move to another property location with the goal of becoming more productive and building my store back up. Great content!!!
Thanks Joe, It amazes me how many sellers have very terrible photos.
Ebay is run alot better than Facebook marketplace they answer your calls and they don't boot you for no reason
Yeah FBM is like the wild west right now. It's like early eBay days 🤣. I couldn't respond to you on FB but I posted in the post. Jill and I started the business back up recently. I was gone for 4 years recovering from some serious health issues. Glad to be back and appreciate the kind words on FB
This extreme update could have been done after Q4. Ridiculous experiment to do during the busiest period.
Fair point and not something I considered. Seems like very odd timing.
Teal is hot right now and that was a beautiful piece. Seems like Jill has a good eye.
For sure! Super proud of her, she's been doing great.
Thanks for the positive vibes!
Thank you for checking out the video Aaron
On that power supply did you do an image search or something to get the model number?
I was able to find it through the brand name and then googling their models.
I left the preceding comment halfway through the vid. When resumed, you answered my question about shipping, lol. I would love to see a whole video on these kinds of decisions.
I will add it to the list when I start working on more shipping related content.
I noticed you tend to charge shipping. Some people say they just up the price and call it free shipping and they seem convicnced that the sell easier. Do come down on one side or the other or is it variable? I get the advantage of charging shipping for returns, but as a buyer if I have any doubts about the item I'll look for it with free shipping. Thoughts?
We offer free shipping on a lot of things. We have been included calculated shipping on a lot more items because of the holiday increases in the prices. In general I would love to offer free shipping on all items. However, glass (alot of our inventory) is difficult to ship for free.
Sagan rhymes with Meghan. :) Yes he's very cool.
I get how disappointing that must be, but on the other hand what an item is worth is relative and you made back about 25% of the total haul with this one item. It's all in whatever perspective you choose to look at it. I used to know someone who used to say (when someone stole from them), "I hope whoever ends up with it really needed it." and that's what they chose to focus on.
Fair enough, perspective matters big time. Dwelling doesn't help to solve the situation. I just try to use it as an opportunity to learn
Great info, well said…hopefully those who need to hear it, do just that!
Thank you Sheila, Honestly, just tired of seeing so much negativity surrounding eBay. We can't control it, so work with what you got or change what you got. Don't keep a negative cycle going
I think the technical aspects of your sourcing/inventory/shipping/listing process is helpful. What trends are seeing and how things have changed since a few years ago. Have you been noticing the stuff going on with Amazon lately? They're being scrutinized for forcing independent vendors selling private label stuff to disclose their intellectual properties, then using that info to develop their own products and underselling the indy vendors. Right now I think Amazon is being investigated for it all, including lying to Congress about it. Pretty wicked.
Yeah I have heard, I heard of a company that makes camera equipment going out of business because of this exact terrible greed. I appreciate the input and ideas. I will work with some of them. Thank you so much. I really like the idea of talking about trends and changes over time.
Welcome back. I didn't realize. The last time I tuned in I think you had a different major.
Thank you! and possibly? I haven't changed majors since I very first started school nearly 4 years ago I believe. I was originally considering following a path to become a dietician, but I changed early on.
I learned quite a bit from you when we met online several years ago. So who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. As for your frustration with the comment, don't take it personally, it's really not worth your time. That said, you hit many valid points and hopefully the person who left that comment realizes their foolishness if it was intended to be snarky. Then again, because it was left as text, you really can't know the meaning behind it, it may actually have been a pat on the back the same as you would say, nice going. Anyway, I look forward to more of your content, take care Mike!
Really didn't take it personally it was just something that stuck with me because I have seen it a lot.
Mike its great to hear your heart come out again and hear the fire that got me started 8 years ago from watching your videos. You make sense so much mate and hope any new seller that is taking up re-selling take note on what you say. Hope you have been well Mike 👍
Thank you! I am very passionate about reselling and finding cool stuff, it doesn't always show. Doing great thank you, same to you.
I use my samsung galaxy 9, just bc i list on the app too so, its instantly there, i dont have to upload the pics to my computer or anything, the camera on this phone is sick tho, pics turn out amazing
When in doubt, part it out, been my way for yrs now
For sure!
Hey mike, glad to see your back and doing well homie, but yea i def agree, if your sitting around you aint gone find a damn thing, to make it in this business, you need to be in thrifts at yardsales flea markets, searching online, find a "guy" just sitting around aint gonna cut it, its not just gonna fall in your lap, and yea even pete who has stuff coming into his shop daily is still out at thrifts going to yardsales, going to his "guys" houses searching there garages, you gotta get off your ass and find that ish
True for sure, you have to hustle and work hard to find stuff.
