Orlando paid $9.44 for a whole Goodwill bin haul and was already in profit after one pair of Oakleys sold for $35. Plus a Discord Q&A with Selling with Tim. Ep. 522 is an update episode. Orlando walks through his bin haul and the hard-goods mess he dug through, and Mike shares a garage sale story about a sign that said "absolutely nobody before 8." Then the Discord Dialogue returns with Selling with Tim, who takes three community questions: whether to buy slow-moving inventory, what to do with free yard-sale leftovers, and why Orlando hasn't tried eBay Live. The episode closes with BOLOs on railroad locks and baseball bats. Orlando also floats a possible Black Friday eBay Live with Mike and says eBay waives commission that day; that is his understanding, not something confirmed on the show.

A reseller sold a thrift-store skirt for $16 after trusting Vinted's suggested price. Mike and Orlando react. Is thrifting still profitable for eBay resellers in 2026? In Episode 521 of the Pure Hustle Podcast, Mike and Orlando watch raw reseller TikToks for the first time and give their honest takes: a thrift-store skirt a seller listed on Vinted for $16, a Goodwill jacket with a claimed value of $150K to $250K, a box of Goodwill Lego that leads to a $10,000 Lego sorting machine, and the question of whether thrift stores are now "luxury" stores. They also debate whether Goodwill is cutting resellers out, what counts as a professional reseller on Vinted, and share listener and host flips, including a $20 estate-sale mobility scooter. Their main lessons for new and experienced resellers: research before you list, use Google Lens and eBay sold comps, and track your sell-through rate (how many items sold compared with how many are listed).

Orlando paid $5 for a garage-sale Supreme bag. The shirts sold for $100 and $200, then both buyers returned them as fake. Plus a $600 gold ring that failed eBay authentication. Mike, Orlando and guest Tim run the Ep. 520 update: why sell-through rate is king, whether AI listing tools are worth it, Vinted vs eBay, and the fakes to watch for (Supreme, Nike, golf clubs, Temu, Pokemon).

eBay secretly ran a promoted listings test in early October: sellers who usually promote at 2% to 3% got an error forcing at least 5%, and eBay only called it a test days later. Here's what else we cover.   This is the first episode of Reseller Rants, a new, shorter format from Pure Hustle Podcast. We cover a suspicious online estate auction where the best of 100+ leather bound books may have been pulled before the sale, Texas taxing sellers on platform fees (eBay didn't tell sellers, and the tax is expected to stop in November with no refunds on what was already paid), the $50 USPS fee for hazmat or battery labels left on reused boxes, and changes to Poshmark shipping fees.   Have you been hit with extra fees? Tell us in the comments.   Subscribe to Pure Hustle Podcast for more reselling news and rants.
