For those you you who watched the end of this video and my comments about shopcommons.net please be aware that we are in the early stages. There were only 17 listings and more than half sold very quickly. So if you are coming to buy it is a little sparse. We are slowly adding items and sellers. Be patient as we educate some of the sellers and try to refine this. Also thank you for the overwhelming support of this idea. I am shocked by how this has gone on day one even before it is live on the district platform. Your feedback is appreciated as we try to create something that can benefit all types of resellers.

Hi, as a person of native American descent me and my family don't really care about the names of sports teams or anything like that. I have found that the people that complain about it aren't even native American. They just complain to complain.

I agree, as a “card carrying Native American”. I collect kitschy Native American things. We tend to be more concerned about poisonous food, environment, boarding schools, and missing Native women, than some team named Chiefs.

Can’t believe you’ve got so many people hating on you. There’s a lot of people in this world that just love to be miserable ! I appreciate all the information you put out and enjoy watching your channel keep up the good work

I think one of the reasons I love watching your videos is because you have a cool family that works with you to help you out. Anyone that leaves your channel because of that are ... that's their loss .. not yours. Also one thing you must have learned by now is that you can't please everyone. We live in a generation of people that you can't please no matter what too.

It's an excellent way to learn. The Goodwills where I live are terrible. The ESTATE SALES here are the best. If you build a relationship with the owners, they sell to you better and teach you about things

Something in my deathpile that actually gained value, digital cameras. I always picked them up for years, but they weren't worth a ton. Well, now they're hot, so I went to my storage and found bins full of them. Man, they sold fast, for probably 50% more then they were worth years ago.

Our first mistake was telling everyone their feelings matter. In my day we were told to tough it out. Now we have a bunch of fragile adults looking for confrontations.

The fact that you mention viewer sales shows you really appreciate their interest in your channel! It's very kind.

I love watching you. As a reseller I don't generally buy the same things you do, but there's always something to learn. I love your intro/out-tro music / country scenes, and your country style that I find relaxing. I used to live in the country so it's a little nostalgic for me. Don't ever change.

I love watching Dave, maybe it’s because I can relate to him.. He makes me feel like being me is okay and I shouldn’t be ashamed that I’m neurodivergent (ADHD). I think you and your beautiful family are absolutely amazing people. I don’t really understand why people get so upset when others do things differently from them… this world would be so boring if we all behaved and thought the same way. Keep being awesome and your true self Kevin🙌💕 Sending you and your beautiful family lots of love from 🇨🇦

Also, I'll be signing up for district and your new site! Love the idea and looking forward to making some curated collections to list at wholesale if you'll have me on your site.

You have a passion for buying and reselling and you enjoy sharing your experiences with others. You are very transparent and people don’t like that. When you sell something to a viewer “fake sales”😂 and people get offended because of it, that sounds like pure jealousy to me. I am a fellow reseller and I respect your honesty and all I can say is keep doing what you love and don’t sweat the small stuff.

I want to thank you for the videos you do. This is a learning experience for me. You are a great teacher and I have learned a lot from you. I am downsizing 50+ years of stuff from my home, so I don't have to pick. It's been a learning experience and you and your family have helped with your videos. Everyone has an opinion about something, but it's called keep on rolling. You are very interesting and informative. Please keep up what you're doing and keep telling your stories and tales. You are awesome.

My wife and I have been watching your channel for almost a year and began our own reselling business in earnest a year and three months ago. We resell on Poshmark, EBay and Marketplace and have found that we have learned so much from your channel. Ignore the haters and negativity. We watch you, Hairy Tornado, Bearded Thrift Machine and have been entertained and educated. Keep up the good work and don’t change a things unless you personally see the need. You have inspired us and are quickly replacing my wife’s income after she was laid off after 17 years at the same company. Thanks for teaching us!

I enjoy your videos, and that you try to teach folks what works for you. and your open minded to others and how they do things.

Just keep doing what you do best picking and selling and loving your family and friends!

Thank you, for all the information you share with us. I learn so much about how to look for items to sell. The bookends you sold were surprising.....I have a pair that I picked from my grandfathers estate. I know they are vintage.

I wish I had someone I could source with! I watch you guys precisely because I don't. I love learning about what other sellers are doing, it really inspires me. As to the folks who insist that you should or shouldn't sell things that are currently considered offensive, just keep on ignoring them. These are the very same people who will holler at you for not supporting their causes. People don't realize that pretending history didn't happen, by "banning" it, only leads to the recurrence of what it is that they're telling you to hide. Off color salt and pepper shakers or videos with spicy titles are just a reflection of who we really are/were at a given time.

I checked out your new site and love the idea for both sellers and buyers. As sellers this really applies to us. I have 3 stores, 1 EB and 2 Etsy. I'm always looking for things I can buy and resale, and I'm also looking to sell "lots", which I currently do on EB. Thank you for coming up with the idea. * L from California.

Keep on keeping on Kevin! You are an awesome reseller, content provider and person. Don't let the sensitive Steve's get you down.

Love it when you get into history! I learn something new almost every one of your videos. Keep it up. By the way, Blenko Glass is still in business - one of the few glass companies in the Ohio-West Virginia-Pennsylvania area that produced much of the 19th and 20th Century glassware in the US that is still active. I live about 20 miles from the factory.

Well, Kevin, I loved the July 3rd video. I enjoy seeing your family and your pets. I learn a lot from you and I think we should all mind our own business and stop judging other people! I suspect that none of us are perfect, me especially!!

Easy anwser to your points. Many people are simple minded. I also charge shipping on almost everything. However, i sell many extremely expensive items. I ALWAYS do free shipping on these, reason is i include shipping insurance in the total cost. If im selling a video game for 2000 it will do better shipping included than 1940 plus 60 shipping. I've been doing rare games on here since 2010 and always include shipping in high price items.

Kevin, l love your channel & the people who unsubbed are just negative so don’t pay attention to them!! I love your positivity, family, & all the important things l have learned from you!! Keep up the great content & the history lessons!!❤❤❤❤

Sometimes the viewpoints of others is a mystery to me. Presently I am failing to launch but I will be starting to resell. For more than a year I've been watching YT Flippers and it is the generosity of spirit within the community which drew me in and got me thinking that I too could resell. It seems to me supporting others only benefits you. What is the saying...A hide tide raises all ships...or something like that. For example I'm watching your channel because Liz from FlippinLizzie mentioned you on her channel. And as far as thrifting with others Karen of Lavender Clothesline just celebrated her first Wedding Anniversary with her husband Roger, a fellow reseller, whom she had met at Goodwill. I appreciate your advise, experience and perspective. And I enjoy seeing your family, especially the fur covered ones.

The number of casual ebay sellers who ship at the counter at the post office is incredible. Many of them have thousands of feedback.

Ef them. Hurt people hurt people. I Adore YOU and yours always and forever! 💕💕

So true you can’t please everyone. It’s sad that you feel you have to watch everything you say. My motto: I’ll do me and you do you. So you keep doing you cause your good at it. ❤️

When you stop by a garage sale, thrift store & any other place to source and you find inventory that just tells me that not everyone buys & sells the same type of items. Personally I would love to have another reseller to hang out with to hit garage sales. I buy in bulk or get so much inventory given to me if my buddy or other reseller finds a BOLO I think it's great.

Those haters aren’t paying your bills, so I wouldn’t worry about it. That’s easy said then done. At the end of the day, you are you, and you’re not gonna please all the people of all the time. If you and your family are happy, then all the haters don’t matter. Keep doing you Kevin!

I buy wholesale but it mainly just curated boxes of like 5-15 items. Great idea.

The reasons many of those people unsub are the reason I listen to you even though I'm not even a reseller!!! There are people who just want other people to be negative about the USA - that seems to be the theme of some people's lives. I also appreciate your family and love the fact your wife pops in and how fun she is!

Kevin keep doing what you're doing I have learned so much from you . Need more history lessons LOL.

Hey Kevin, I watch youtube pickin videos for the entertainment. I have my own business policies.
