    What kills me is the dislikes on these videos. John is making a living for his family and recording it. Not only that bur he fosters as well. Darn, internet trolls. Ugh. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion but John is such a nice guy he doesn't deserve the scrutiny.

      You need to realize that Thumbs Down also helps the video within the CZcams algorithm. This is why the most viral CZcamsrs would rather you leave a thumbs down (and even a negative comment bashing them) rather than nothing at all. It's all engagement to the algorithm, which has no feelings.

    Because of John..and watching all these videos, I have learned a lot. I made a real haul this weekend. However, I also found a real gold ring in a bunch of old costume jewelry rings. The elderly lady did not have a clue. I KNOW John would have done the same thing as I did. I told her and she cried out " THAT WAS MY MOTHER"S RING" and had no idea how it got in the box with the old costume jewelry. She thanked me but still charged me full price for the things I bought. So funny. But would always do the same thing..Some things you can not buy or sell. Integrity and character is priceless, and that is why I really like John

    About one month ago I was able to pick up four TI-84 graphing calculators for $5 each. All 4 were in very good condition. I listed the first one for $34.95 plus shipping. It sold in 2 hours. I listed the second one for $39.95 plus shipping. It sold in less than a day. I listed the third one for $44.95 plus shipping. It sold in a couple of days. I listed the last on for $48.95 plus shipping. It sold in one week. If I was able to pick another one in the future, I would probably list it for $49.95 plus shipping. However, if the seller does not mind waiting, you could probably list it for $60 to $65 plus shipping. I believe it would sell.

    Hey John. Have you noticed when you add a buyer to the blocked list, the system deletes their messages to you? I had episode with a buyer where I tried to satisfy their issue with an item. We messaged each other a couple of times. They escalated their rude behavior. I blocked them. When I contacted eBay about some of the statements they made, the customer service representative could not pull up the buyer's messages. The representative could see my messages but not the buyer's. Thanks for the videos.

    Hi Can you make a video on how to deal with aggressive deceiving sellers on eBay?

    You should do a recap at the end of each episode showing total sales, cost, profit, etc for the week

    Hello, John, The question I have, The way you put items in the storage bins. Makes no sense to me, they have many different types of items per bin some indifferent bins have the same type of item. How does that work?

      Seems crazy, and you wonder, “why doesn’t he just put all the Nintendo games in one box?” The trick with that apparent disarray is when you’re pulling sales, instead of rifling through dozens of games, you open a bin, and there’s just 3 or 4 games that stand out from the rest of the items.
      If it still sounds silly. That’s kind of how Amazon fulfillment centers are “organized.”

      I was thinking that, too. Maybe he fills a bin as he lists the random stuff. That way he can easily add the location code to each as he lists it.

      Makes perfect sense to me! Helps to prevent pulling the wrong one to fill an order.

    So if you list on eBay you can't cross post on Facebook? I'm new to eBay. I make jewelry. I've been on eBay three months and no sales. I would love to email you for pointers. I love your storage set up. It would make an awesome place to make and store jewelry!!!
