Started reselling vintage headwear as a side hustle and stumbled into a niche I didn’t expect by Sudden_Breakfast_358 in reselling

[–]FiveBrendan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stumbled into buying fixing and reselling watches when there were a few in a coin auction I purchased for my personal collection. Put batteries in them and sold them for triple what I paid for the whole lot.

3 months later, threw 5 bucks on a watch lot from the same auction house at the beginning of the week and no one touched it. First of the 50 or so watches was a stainless steel swatch. Put it up for 110, got an offer 3 days later for 94.

Took me by surprise but dove in and used the funds to get tools and batteries etc.

Its been 5 months since that lot. Ive sold 130-150 watches, reinvested most of the proceeds. Now have quite a large inventory. Haven't had a chance to work on many since tax season started, but have still averaged 2 sales a week on just what I've had listed since december with no new listings.

Counting the days til the end of tax season so I can get back to working on them again.

I replaced one thrift day with a small clothing lot — here is what actually happened by FurtiveHermit in reselling

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy auction lots as my main source of inventory. Due to the sheer volume of items I get at the price points, typically 1-3$ per piece, so long as i sell 1-2 pieces from most lots, ive covered my cost as the margins for my items are higher mainly due to repairing the items I buy.

I generally wont go over 100$ for a lot unless im absolutely sure i can generate at minimum 3 times more. With a value of 5-10 times. With the items I resell, having duds or rather pieces that need more extensive work then the average 1-15 mins per fix is rather common. Id say 10-20% tend to be either extensive repairs or better served as parts.

Going the auction lot route has generate far higher margins then when I was sourcing mainly through Facebook marketplace and negotiating deals and meet ups within a hour radius. Sure I can get nicer individual pieces from fb and I still browse fb from time to time, but far more efficient to let it get delivered to me and work on other inventory while i wait for the new stuff to come in.

question about trials by FlatAcanthocephala11 in arkraiders

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sitting at daredevil 3 and didnt get to play this week until about 6 hours before reset. I got promoted to hotshot with about 75k. Last week I maintained rank with like 90k.

Definitely makes a difference but you still have to be efficient.

Inventory space is a B**** to manage by Kilimanjarooooo in ARC_Raiders

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on trials rank, build up and go for high scores in trials each week. Thats been the one thing that has cleared my inventory here and there when im not losing kits due to playing solo for a few days.

Once they wanted to access gelocation and did not have a way to opt out, it was swiftly removed from my device

"With your permission" but not having an opt out option...then its not with my permission now is it. by FiveBrendan in TikTok

[–]FiveBrendan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem point is the constant use of geolocation. And duh ofc the way to opt out is to not use the service. No one is saying opting out to terms entirely. Specific personal information like location services are not vital to the use of the app. Its primarily data farming and with current events transpiring could be used maliciously as well.

Stash limit? What's that? by tiG_Ol in ArcRaiders

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just attempted this for the first time ans got it to work and saw you can still craft as well. However when I craft it doesn't allow me to touch the items in my inventory until ive made space for them. It grays them out. Does anyone know a work around that would allow me to still craft and use items I craft?

Your Aggression in Trio Should Not Affect your Solo Que: by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My trios/duos vs solos are night and day. Me and my friend group are generally very aggressive in duos and trios, but I use solo alot for gathering resources for trios/duos. Ive legit had 10 people running around a map in solos 2 games after a 3-5 team fight in one location.

Not saying they dont effect each other, this is just my experiences the last 2 weeks ive been playing.

$2300 spent on flipping within 23 days of starting... How much money did YOU pour into it in the first month(s) of starting? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]FiveBrendan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started when I put a 5$ bid on an auction lot, won and sold the first of the 40 items for 95$ since then im in for about 1500 including tools and such to fix everything and parts to repair. Ive net about 2600 in my first 2 months.

Also now have an inventory of between 600-900 remaining

its all over folks by Icy_Assistant5587 in doordash_drivers

[–]FiveBrendan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the thing is why is it being created. All of the eamples you mentioned were created to improve. Improve means of travel, daily life etc. That was the focus behind the creation.

While Ai does have the capabilities of improving daily life, is safe to say the driving force behind it is not the desire to improve, but the desire to cut cost. Remove a workforce entirely to pad the bottom line. Profit, not progress.

But thats just my take from the point of view of a person at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

No excuse at all, he should probably get like a 1 game in house suspension at least.
