Hey Lonnie. Still appreciate all the support you've shown me over the years, especially when I was just starting out. Lots of "what ifs" that replay in my mind as well, but ultimately I'm much happier with where I am right now with a "normal 9-5" after making tons of mistakes trying this whole reselling/KZread thing. Appreciate the transparency when you were sharing your ups and downs!

Hey Josh, good to see you making content again! Full time reselling can definitely be very difficult and at times stressful. I think for most people it’s better as a part time thing, and the best part is you can be super picky about what you sell.

I love when you add chatty content and answer questions during the packing videos on this channel. Gives me (a loyal Shed viewer) some FOMO incentive not to miss an “ I’m gonna pack it” vid.

I was one of the "new" followers way back when you got your Friday night shout out. It's been so much fun watching your channels grow and evolve. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Hey Lonnie, I would have to say that I really love your packing videos. Watching these videos has helped me to pack and to know how to pack certain items. Thank you so much for making these videos. I will continue to watch.

What an delightful video, Lonnie. I have always enjoyed the packing videos, both before you started the new (reworked, rather) channel, and since. They stand on their own as a great tutorial on how to pack well. But this one was kind of special since you shared your history of your KZread journey on it. You and Candice have always been 2 of my favorite KZreadrs, and I have spent countless hours having you keep me company as I did my eBay duties, and want to thank you sincerely for that. Continued success as you achieve that goal of getting the play button, an achievement you certainly deserve. Mike from NY (A proud 'shed head").

I'm here from a shout out during Chad/Pete/Ronnie's show back when you had the flood. Funny thing is I've stuck with your channels and watched more of your videos than any other reseller. I'll miss the Getaway Gang. I really enjoyed the campground tours and travel videos, but I also like packing and always enjoy your stories and commentary.

Candice, please have one of your kids buy Lonnie a new box resizer for Father's day. 😊

I always marvel at the sharpness of your utility knives. I procrastinate changing blades and vow todo better about that when I watch your packing vids.

I remember when Pete recommended you. That’s when I started watching!

lonnie ..those mailers are so slick

Great starter box suggestions! Those are what I keep in my purchased inventory....other odd sizes come to me via purchases so I save them "just in case I have a larger item(s) to ship out!

This may sound surprising, but I found your channel BEFORE Craigslist Hunter's! I started watching you when you were selling Halliburton suitcases out of the storage unit, way before it was broken into. Still watching!

Enjoying your channel. I'm curious if the bookends arrived undamaged. I'd worry about when the box is flipped around and the heavy weight of the bases are on top and push down on the mast. I guess enough give in the padding that they don't get bent? That's the only one that's had me nervous for you. Only other way I was thinking was to anchor the bases somehow. I have a couple of things to list with this problem and I can't get past the worry. Grew up going to yard sales and thrift stores in the 60's & 70's---not for resale but to make ends meet and still be able to buy some things you'd like. It was fun! My kids turned up their noses at thrift stores until it became "cool". 🙂

Lonnie the "Hellboy" packing was a work of Art. Bravo!! Today I packed two Retro Highball Glasses with the box in a box that you showed me. I thought you might get a laugh out of the fact that I recently bought a Solar Pool cover for my pool and had a good amount of it leftover...which I now use as bubble wrap, it's amazing. Anyway, big fan, thanks for what you're doing I know it's not easy, big howdy from Santa Rosa!

Great box size suggestions, I would also suggest 18x16x6 boxes for electronics (DVD/VCR combos, VCRs, receivers, etc.)

18x16x6 are also great for storing media (CD, DVD, etc).

also...watch out for u-line quality control....I got a lot of 6x4x3 boxes (for small bout thicker items) that had wonky edges....:(

Hey there Lonnie, in this video you were talking about different size boxes to use. I'm curious what is the box you used for the cooking book you packed. Thanks in advance and ya'll have a great channel, I watch all the time, and I'm a new reseller on eBay for 2 months now, Happy Sourcing everyone

ask 10 ppl to save u boxes and amazon mailers ....u will have so much shipping stuff ...i buy 10x6x4 8x6x4 sometimes maybe a big box at lowes or whatever ....i reuse amazon mailers almost every time i ship ...

Break the plastic knob off weld a wing nut to screw bolt

You might think you over do when you pack but I bet your packages get to the customers in ideal condition ❤❤

I can't imagine a life where I didn't go to thrift store and yard sales. My mother was always a thrifter so we were always going when we needed clothes or housewares. I bet that was a huge eye opener for you when you started! Just out of curiosity - did you shop on eBay before 2015? Thanks for these packing videos - I do enjoy them!
