Is more reseller competition actually good for eBay sellers? Orlando says we're about to enter a golden age if we adapt. Mike agrees, with caveats.

Mike and Orlando take on that question in this themed episode. They dig into diminishing returns, why newcomers who can't keep up tend to leave, why a wall of listings can keep buyers on one platform, and whether eBay needs to innovate against Depop and Vinted. Plus hustles of the week, including a $6 thrift quarter zip and a sealed Warhammer 40K limited edition that sold in about six minutes.

Mike and Orlando break down garage sale etiquette for resellers: how early is too early, grabbing items in front of other buyers, hoarding piles, negotiating without being rude, and checking eBay prices in front of sellers. Plus Hustle of the Week: a $70 lighter that sold for $599, a $10 box of kids' toys, and the $8 bobcat that got away.

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). They also cover partial refunds and negative feedback, business cards in packages, and BOLO finds like mesh routers, Toys R Us ads and posters, and Mickey Mouse boots.
