Folks don't realize that there are so many other ways to enjoy life and make a living. Great video! Thanks for being on Steemit.

After I was laid off in 2013, I would go to storage auctions, but I never had enough funds to compete. Then I learned being the kind and considerate one had a perk. Folks would give me the things that were low value in their mind.

However, I could go to the flea market and make a few hundred a weekend. The only funds I ever invested was gas money and the flea market fee.

Hey @clevercreator . are you still in the storage auction game? i got out back when the television shows came on but been curious to go back. i also used to do a lot of police and us marshalls auctions as well.

your right about people giving stuff away, people have a short period of time to clean out units and oftentimes there's a lot of stuff so people are giving away stuff that has real value.

way back in the day i used to take advantage of the craigslist free section and flip stuff that way as well

I love it, you find your nitch and you go with it. I wasn't passionate about it, and need to sell off my stock now that I have found my passion, but I would hit flea markets, rummage sales, auctions for costume jewelry as a side hustle as good friend showed me how she was making money doing it, and I was pretty good at it, it just didn't excite me. But it was my business from home, that allowed me to stay at home and home school my children. Everyone should have some type of additional income. Even if it is passive, it is something to fall back on.

A lot of people don't give Goodwill enough credit. Depending on where you go, you can find some AMAZING items. Especially if you go to wealthy areas like Malibu and Beverly Hills in California. Amazing finds for a really cheap price. Easy flip on eBay or some other online selling platform.

You just have to know where to go ;P

So cool. I love the side hustle ideas. A little late is better than never.
I love the vlog format. Did you check out dtube. You can also post your steemit vlog on that platform. I think it just came out yesterday.

My wife gets stuff at the fleamarket and sells it. It's so fun.

Back in the day my mom was all about Goodwill. We got a lot of stuff from there.

yeah i think the people who do really well at goodwill stores are the ones who know the schedules of when the new trucks arrive and are there waiting for all the good stuff
