In this podcast, we are committed to bringing you great guests, who love to share their tips and tactics that will help you level up in your current reselling business. So let's go!

Whats up guys, super stoked to be in front of you for the first episode of the Reseller Hangout podcast.

It's been a while in the making and being on a podcast is a little bit different, just talking audio because we are usually used to video. So this is going to be really fun, having conversations.

So, we are Rob and Melissa with Flea Market Flipper.

We have been full-time flippers for the last five years. Part-time, almost 20 some years before that.

Your going on 25 years because you've been doing it since you were 16 So

thats a while ago.

25 years, experience, which is totally insane. But we're super, super stoked. We've talked about this for years now.

The main goal is actually just to be in front of other resellers who think that this is the greatest career ever. We agree that it is, we do. And we want to give you guys great tips from all different avenues of the resale business. Pretty much 90% of our sales come from eBay.

And we sell larger items and we know there's so many other resellers out there who don't do what our business model is, that have great tips and great advice that they can share with everybody. So we all can grow together.

So, Thank you for listening to this podcast, and we're excited to bring you some awesome people on it in the future episodes

We just wanted to start off the first episode, just kind of talking a little bit about our background and a little bit of our story. We'll, keep it short. And just to kind of talk about why we're here. So yeah, like you said, Rob's been flipping since he was 16. I married into it. So, 14 years ago. So it's always been our side hustle.

So, for until five years ago, it was always our side hustle. It was always our extra income for vacations, for if medical bills popped up or any extra expenses

came in, fix a car, or buy a used car. This is how we did it. We were able to create quick income and pretty substantial, quick income fast. And then we never really put two and two together to realize, Hey, this could be a viable

full-time gig for us, until we had something happened in our marriage and in our life that that pushed us into this direction.

We'll talk about that in  just a second. But, before that, vacation was definitely your motivating factor for selling stuff. So, if anybody doesn't know, Rob loves going on vacation and I

was of the mindset of don't take a day off ever hardly from work. And so when I met him, I had never taken a sick day. I wasn't sick. And so he's like, you have sick days, take them, like, you can totally take them, so take off a day of work. What's that? So, I mean, he does work very hard, but if you can take a vacation, then take the vacation.

I am a party waiting to happen. We worked just enough. I personally worked just enough to be able to take vacation and spend time with Melissa and our kids. That's kind of my motto. I absolutely love having fun. If you guys don't know that about me, That's kind of what I live for is to being able to have some fun.

And that's kind of

what was actually something to get the money.

Let's go on a two week cruise. Okay.  Go
