I have never taken a day off in almost 20 years.

When you unlock the power that this is, the ability to multiply money,

to take $5, put it onto eBay and sell something and get $25 back, how in the world can you rest?

We paid $10 for this, probably easily $100 or more.

We ended up getting two Burberry trench coats.

So this one we paid $40 and this one will sell for 250, 300 bucks.

That one's more desirable because it's more of the classic Burberry color.

Last year, I brought in $6.5 million selling pre-owned clothing.

But it also took a tremendous amount of work, a tremendous amount of commitment and a tremendous amount of sacrifice

to get from where I came from to now selling millions of dollars per year and living a very, very fortunate life.

All right, it's a little bit before six o' clock in the morning.

While the rest of the world is asleep, we're going to come out here and get the steals and the deals.

The good ones, as soon as they hit the table, they're gone in a second.

I'm born and raised [in] South Florida, been here my whole life.

I grew up with a single mother who was a waitress at Denny's.

Nobody would hire me because it was 2008.

I had a son who was five years old and I was flat broke during this time.

My cell phone broke and I went onto eBay to see how much it would be to get a replacement.

So I had the bright idea to go onto Craigslist, buy the phone for $35, listed on eBay for $70, and it sold the same day for $70.

That was a light bulb moment and I've been doing that ever since, for almost 20 years.

I started off selling electronics and then my business evolved into selling pre-owned clothing, which I do today.

People come out here for a wide variety of reasons.

People get stuff from a wide variety of places.

So all of this stuff here, he bought Amazon return pallets.

This guy buys houses of people that have passed away.

And this guy in the green shirt, he buys golf clubs.

So, like, everyone out here has a business model, has a niche.

A guy was swinging a samurai sword out here a couple years ago.

And could I have gotten it for 15 bucks or 10 bucks?

Probably, but guy woke up early to be here.

Like, if I'm the only one who makes money and they don't make money, what happens?

And if they stop coming to the flea market, I'm out of business.

When this one closed, you going over there?

So I became eBay's number one seller in pre-owned men's clothing.

I distinctly remember the day on April 14, 2021, at the peak of the eBay business.

and that was 50,000 items in the eBay store selling 100,000 items per year.

I had a lot of tenacity, and I had a lot of consistency,

and every single day I woke up and I did my job to the best of my ability,

and that is my mission, and that is my goal every single day.
