-I do remember the very first thing I sold on eBay.
We'll never forget it.
It was a dishwasher that I sold to a gentleman who lives
up in the Sierra Nevada.
He drove down to San Francisco to pick it up
with his two daughters.
-The vinyl would probably be one of the more interesting
things I've sold on eBay because one of the records I
was selling turned out to be worth substantially more than
I thought it was.
-And the cool thing about it was that he
had an apple orchard.
When he gave me the money for the dishwasher, he also gave
me a bushel of apples.
It was a fantastic experience.
We'll never forget it.
-I told my wife that mugs sell really well on eBay.
So as a joke, she went to Goodwill and bought a mug with
puppies on it for $0.25 and said, here, sell this.
It ended up selling Buy It Now for $15.
So, yeah, I proved her wrong.

-My father-in-law loaned me an audio book.
And I listened to the audio book in the car.
And I didn't realize he'd loaned it to me.
I thought he gave it to me.
So I have this habit of just selling it on eBay.
I did.
A couple weeks later he said, you know, how's
my audio book doing?
I'm like, it was great.
It sold on eBay!
-Give it a try.
If you have a smartphone, it makes it super easy.
The first time I used it, it was such an a-ha moment for me
because it made selling so much easier.
-Selling on eBay doesn't take a lot of time.
So I usually do it when I'm watching TV.
-I would say that it has gotten easier and easier to
sell on eBay over the last few years.
-I sell different things.
For example, I sell coins sometimes.
I'm looking around, and sometimes I'm saying, ah, I
think I've sold everything I have to sell.
And then I walk through the garage and I'm seeing, wow,
all these DVDs, oh, all those baby toys.
-We are getting ready to remodel our house and we have
to move out of it.
And so my selling goal is to minimize the amount of stuff
that I need to move back into my house.
-Selling on eBay is fun because you can make it an
activity with your friends.
Have a little bit of a selling party.
You all have mobile phones, and you can just download the
mobile app and start selling.
-With the money I earn from eBay, I tend
to buy other things.
I guess I sell to buy.
-I sell things that are really close to my heart.
I'm into cycling.
I'm into golf.
I'm into other sports.
And usually, I'm selling things to upgrade and get
money to spend on the new stuff.
-I love selling on eBay because it's
easy and it's fun.
It's just become a habit.
-I love selling on eBay because it's personal on a
global level.
