They're still here. Yes. They're still here It's an enormous honor for me to sit here with Fadi Ghandur He is just the best entrepreneur you can find for a long time. He was the only one in the Middle East He has built billion-dollar companies. He is runs a VC firm right now He has built hospitals for those in need. He's just an amazing personality and I don't think Startup people can get any better advice than all the stuff you've learned Fadi during your years. Thank you. Welcome. Thank you Thank you. That's an honor. Thank you Thank you. So we go straight to the point. Yes, you meet a lot of startup CEOs Yes, what's the most common advice you end up giving them?  So you need to always I need to always see the team It's about the team who works with you. Who's your co-founder? How do you build teams? How do you attract talent? How do you get people to stay around with you and work with you and believe that there is a future for them? Where their ambition can happen where they can actually create and generate their own wealth. So the core story is always about You know, everybody is gonna come and say I'm building a product I'm doing this. I'm doing that good stuff. Yeah, but what is going to differentiate you for me? And what advice I'm gonna give you is how do you build that? Organization that is going to last and you do that with people at the end of the day They're the ones that are gonna differentiate your capabilities down The sustainability road of that startup, right? So when you if it is about the team when you meet the CEO How do you know whether the CEO can build a team?  Share your ideas. Who advises you? How do you go out and recruit these guys? What do you give them? How do you entice them to stick around? Do you think about these things? I mean if they're not thinking about these things that you can tell very quickly I mean for those of us with businesses it is very easy to catch the guy that Is a salesman rather than with all the respect I love salespeople or the guy that actually means what he is saying Right, so does a leader have to be extremely tough or do they have to be extremely soft or no soft? Look, you need to have a balancing at at all times so tough You need to be tough when you need to be tough Yeah, and you need to be soft in the sense of absorbing and advising and acting as Addressing that challenge from a learning perspective Rather than really being a soft and not taking any Issue or challenge or a problem in the organization Without Making it a lesson. I mean that that you know, we we learn by continuously Making mistakes, so it's not about softness. It's about what do we do with that? Yeah So then if you look at an entrepreneur does it matter what education they have is there some education? That's especially good or a special technical then your technical you have to have that You have to know your stuff, but I'm not gonna ask you if you have an MBA or Or what did you study? Neutral on it, okay, it doesn't matter who cares if you have an MBA or not It's about Your knowledge and your passion and your your ability to actually articulate what you want to do when you became an entrepreneur, how did that happen and What did your parents and family think about it when you you know, I'm you know, one of the lucky ones I had fantastic encouragement and then my father for a long time was a mentor So and and if you'd ever asked me he was the core at you know At that you have to remember I started the business straight out of college So I was 23 years old and I was very naive You needed a father figure so I had the father to be my father figure and he He was invaluable for me And like everyone else and we've talked you and I I mean I I consider myself an accidental entrepreneur I wasn't thinking that Actually a career could be in building a business I never knew for a while whether my business that I started was gonna survive in the first place So yeah So accidental but you had but you had somebody supporting you. Yeah, I had a co-founder I had I had a partner who's no longer with us now But he was he was a bit older than me and he was definitely a mentor he and the idea came originally from him to be fair So I'm I'm the execution. I executed. I built the business. He was based in New York I was based in Amman Jordan and we thought That we wanted to build the federal express of the Middle East The there was a gap in the market Post offices were lousy.  I mean even now if you say it they think you're crazy Imagine back in 1983 What people would have said about that but that takes naivete that takes somebody that says why not you know It can be done and And you just go out and do it So let's talk about the Middle East you are from Jordan and you now live in Dubai So I yeah, I built the business out of Jordan. I grew up in Jordan, right and I've moved only 10 years ago to Dubai For for the venture fund and for for building the business. So is it possible to make a comparison about starting a company in the Middle East? versus doing it in California or I tell people who are Whoever wants to listen That building a business out of Silicon Valley is is easy because you're you're in what you are in Silicon Valley, so it's You you have an idea you have massive amounts of capital the infrastructure is practically built It's an open market. You have a 300 350 million dollar market the biggest economy in the world and it's all open You don't worry about geography. You don't worry about what do I do to sell a product in? From California to New York. How do I access markets? How do I access clients? It's been done before you have mentors that have done it right next door to you within What five ten twenty mile radius in the Middle East with 22 countries? We're 350 million people In the Middle East but 22 countries each country has a different regulation different a way of doing business different way of accessing markets It is so much more difficult and I you know, these are real these are real heroes and real entrepreneurs because they go out and they are crashing and and and demolishing barriers day in and day out and not waiting for anyone to actually Open these doors for them because it is so difficult. So yes, it's different Different here in Europe also because you also have a relative even though you have many countries, but you have a relatively sometimes common regime of of a regulatory environment that And it takes much longer to scale businesses and it's because you have to struggle with all these multinational boundaries that you have You you have to face so when I built aramics, which is a logistics business and by definition You have to be in many countries when we were able to conquer the geography of 15 of 22 countries We effectively made that market suddenly melt and looked like a 350 million People market and the two trillion dollar economy and that's that's how how we became a dominant player Because we made the geography Irrelevant at the end of the day right and now Aramax has revenues of nearly two billion dollars It's one point one point three one point four billion dollars. It's uh, we took it public on NASDAQ We were the first company to have gone ever public from our region On NASDAQ in 1997 and then I bought it back Like every entrepreneur five years later and then I listed it again So I took it. I'm one of the few entrepreneurs that took the same company twice We did it on the Dubai stock exchange and we actually Made the seven times our money within three years by taking it from NASDAQ back to Dubai and And I remained a shareholder all the way through by the way So buying it back and and re-listing it again Talking about exits because everybody thinks of exits. It took me 35 years to exit my business So it's you can't build a business you can't stick around on it Yeah, and you can enjoy doing whatever you're enjoying and you can create wealth while sticking in the business There's nothing wrong with thinking long-term and building an 18,000 people Company and and enjoy running it and creating entrepreneurship inside the organization. I'll give you a high five for that indeed so a Company that wants to Establish business in the Middle East or sell to the Middle East. I know we shouldn't generalize, but what's the general advice? Talk to me No, I mean the general advice is it depends on the market You're going to and then again, you know generalizing means mean when you say Middle East you're generalizing so People that want to come to the Middle East normally come to the Gulf Cooperation Council so Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Kuwait Oman Bahrain these are relatively a common market There is There are stream they they look the same their currencies are the same practically They are they're the they're about 60 70% of the economy of the whole Middle East So instead of thinking fragmentation of 22 countries you you think of five six countries you base yourself out of Dubai and And you launch Dubai is the hub of business and commerce out of the region So people come and set up there. There is a regulatory regime that allows you to own a hundred percent of your business It's tax-free and it allows you to cross border not only into the Gulf countries There are a lot of people that are based out of Dubai that do business in Africa do business in South Asia It's within a radius of I'd say five five hours flight You're tapping into three four billion people market out of Dubai So and that's how the the city positions itself as How is the attitude among buyers if you come there as a northern European startup? With different background different culture values. Are they protective or The internet technology has melted that that cultural differentiation. So everyone has a smartphone in the region Everybody trans acts. Everybody's on Facebook. Everybody is on Twitter. Everybody consumes massive amounts of YouTube E-commerce is is happening and happening rapidly So if I'm gonna analyze the Middle East with our and removing that it is in the Middle East because everybody is scared Middle East bombs Political upheaval forget that don't believe CNN when you watch it about our region. Yeah, we have a different region It's young 60% of the population is under the age of 25 and they're all connected and they're all Intune with what's happening with the rest of the world So focus on that focus on the promise focus on the future focus on when on people that that that look like you that want to do Things so buying habits are not necessarily different. They might want people people might want to do stuff in their own language in Arabic But it's the same story. It's this Amazon Google Facebook. They all have massive Operations out of Dubai by the way, so talking about the same language and the same the audience here wants to hear you Talk about leadership and values, right? So so leadership values culture the culture of the organization. How do you how do you think about values in organization? What do you look for? So look you need to and we've talked you and I several times before about about you know the issue of values is Startups even at the very early stage You need to think about what sort of an organization are you building? What sort of culture inside the organization? How do you talk to each other? What is the communication between people is how are you creating a flat? Organization where there is a democratic process relatively democratic process of sharing knowledge and sharing capabilities Do how do you actually talk to your clients? Are you a customer centric and what does that mean? Do you talk about it? Do you address these issues? How do you how do you want the world to view you and specifically now look at Silicon Valley from being and with all Respect we can we can go controversial a little bit And from being the darling of the world to being a sort of a in a strange place now Are we disrupting democracy? What is social media to wing to us who is manipulating social media fake news? And this is all part of an internal process For very powerful companies that wanted to tell us that they had a fantastic corporate culture But then discover that they have challenges inside that need to be addressed So every startup needs to realize that this is a complex world Everybody's watching and and you need to be very clear on how you manage you want to manage your organization Not to talk about harassment and sexual harassment. And this is all It's part of the process of power you're the founder you're a CEO you feel you can do stuff People watch you and then use kill you because if you disrupt that process of respect inside the organization Whether for women males or females etc. Then that reflects on the whole organization and some organizations collapse Collapse because the CEO failed in translating his his real vision of what an organization he's building and his personal actions Well, you have to walk the walk and talk the talk and be Be there all the time you it is a very very tough job to be a CEO of a company It is there's no glamour in it You are being watched and you'd better you'd better be careful. So when you were CEO Did you bring up culture and values as a separate topic? Did you say let's discuss, you know, my job as a CEO was a preacher Yes, I preached I was in the business of flying all over the world because we were in multinationals You know, we were in 65 70 countries. Yeah, so by definition multinational multicultural so India UK US China these are different types of people and the culture unites the culture of the organization unites I was the culture custodian. So I was the preacher and I felt that Culture actually was a differentiator for us from our competition because if I'm if you ask me today What the heck did you do building a business competing with DHL? What's the different? What's the difference? I can tell you all sorts of things. We were less expensive stuff But what really trumped us was a corporate culture was completely flat. I Wasn't the guru of gurus up there where everybody comes back to me. Hey boss What do you think of this? What do you think of that? If people told me hey boss? What do you think? What do you think of that and they're based in China? They are out of a job Because I have no idea what happens in China.  You're empowered. It's decentralized. It is your story not mine I'm funny. Yeah, we have only a conductor. We are running out of time, but we have an important question to you Yes, teach us something from your culture some saying or wisdom or something that we can take away from Jordan From the Arab world. It's it's called So I you you you give me a hint before so I Prepared myself for it and and so that it fits into the the startup world It's it says it says I'll say it in Arabic. Yeah, it sounds like finished by the way, so cool Masha'a liqa'hu al-uqool Al-mashura So seeking advice is the fertilization of the mind Seeking advice is so you have to seek. Yes So I have to ask for advice and it's how you fertilize your mind. So it's about mentorship. It's about Companionship it is about doing things together because because I my mind is better when I ask you questions And and your mind is better when I ask you questions in return Wonderful. Thank you


This is stock number 9629. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and use truck headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab short box. This truck has the 6.2 liter V8 motor from this HD video. You will be able to tell that this truck is extremely clean all the way around. It has the LED fog lights, front sonar and that front bumper. No dents or dings on that front bumper. It has the projector lamp headlamps, the LED running lights, and this color is called Cajun Red Metallic. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now because it is like you're right here looking at the truck with me. It has the 20 inch chromed alloy rims, and on them they have the Goodyear Eagle 275 55 R20 tires with right around little over half the tread left. I'd say 60% of that tread left on those tires. The hood and front grille is in excellent shape on this truck. Passenger rim, very nice condition. No scuffs or scrapes on that. And as you go down this side of the truck, you can see just how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, you can still see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. We do sell a lot of these vehicles out of state, and we do it by doing the videos, taking a lot of photos, making sure our customers are comfortable with the vehicle that they're looking at and the people they're working with before they get here. Very clean down that side. Back rim is in excellent condition as well, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Frame and underbody on this truck is in really nice condition. See all the lower rockers are in great condition as well, which you would expect on a 2018. I didn't see any dents or dings on that rear box here. As we come around to the back, you can see the rear bumpers in absolutely perfect condition. Full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in nice condition as well, no major dents or dings on that. It has the backup camera, the locking tailgate, and the bed is in really nice shape as well. Couple little scuffs, but it's a bed and the truck's got almost 10,000 miles on it. It does have the LED lighting up there for the bed. That tailgate shuts nice. Smoothly, and it also has the shock when it goes down. You have the in bumper steps, and as you go down this side of the truck, just as clean as that passenger side. Four full disclosure, this back rim is in nice condition as well. No scuffs or scrapes, but very, very nice and clean down this side. It does have the capitalist fuel fill, which I believe they started doing in 2017. But very, very clean down this side. It has the power fold-in mirrors with the built-in directional signals. Driver side blind spot mirror, and those mirrors are heated. We have memory driver seat, power windows, power locks, and those power mirrors. They do power fold-in, like I said, and power fold-out.

There are no rips, there are no tears on these seats. These seats are all both heated and cooled. We have a nice set of custom-fit floor mats in here. They are all weather, and as we hop inside the truck here, it has 10,471 miles. Instrument cluster is nice and clean. You get the cruise control and heated steering wheel button on the left, so that's heated steering wheel. Leather wrapped, Bluetooth and information center on the right, and on the back of the steering wheel are radio controls. This one has the 8-speed automatic transmission, the factory navigation with the Chevy MyLink system. This is also where your backup camera shows up. What's also neat about this radio is that it has the projection, so you can do your Android Auto or Apple CarPlay on there.  Two USB spots, two power points, and a hundred ten hundred fifty watt plug-in. Up here, you have your home link system and your power sunroof. Passenger seat is very clean as well. No rips or tears on that. This truck has never been smoked in factory floor, or I'm sorry, custom-fit all-weather floor mat on that side, and it does have the wireless charge pad. We will take a quick look at the back seats. Then we will check out under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here.  Very, very clean. It has a nice little storage bin underneath the seats there, and we have some custom-fit all-weather floor mats back here as well. And the carpeting is absolutely perfect.

You remember when a box of VHS tapes of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes were found from a hoarder's place? There was more than just a box of tapes. There were thousands and thousands of VHS tapes towering each part of the house. More of the same edited tapes were shown around the place. A VHS editor machine was shown in the corner of his room, along with blank tape covers. Turns out the owner was an editor of VHS tapes, and creating heavily bootleg SpongeBob SquarePants episodes with some disturbing changes made to some of the characters, animations, designs and dialogue. Yes, a bootlegger. Well, no surprise that the guy had suddenly died due to a heart attack. Unfortunately, the discovery of the box of VHS tapes was only the beginning. Since then, several other tapes containing episodes of SpongeBob have been discovered. One of the examples was when an episode of Frank and Doodle and Life of Crime was simultaneously recorded at the exact same time, mixing the audio and animation into a huge disaster. While we didn't have proof of an animation cell being edited, there was a huge change we noticed, and it came from something we didn't figure out till then. In the infamous episode Warney, the scene where Warney starts to change was heavily edited. It started turning into a cocoon with heavily crunching and sloshing noises, accompanying the background music. When the butterfly came out, it was shown a lot more monstrous and less than the original. Another occurrence was in the later episode Gun, where the same mysterious whispering voice happened, when SpongeBob was saying go over and over again. When he stopped, the same voice from before came back. It said this. Then, something interesting happened when SpongeBob got to the movie theater. The voice came back. This time, the screen was red. The voice said, Life is a serious danger. Your future might get destroyed if you don't fix the past and future.  It's unclear who is behind the mysterious and disturbing tapes, but it's clear that someone is trying to make a message to SpongeBob. There was a theory that the person turns out to be an ex-artist of SpongeBob SquarePants who was fired during the ending of the first season. Another said it was rather Andrew Overtune, Clint Bond, Drake Dreiman or even Eric Springfield. The last, and the most disturbing theory, is that the old man could very well turn out to be a disgruntled fan who wanted to dedicate episodes of his own versions of every SpongeBob episode. The only other weird occurrence was the Mockingbird shriek weak hack incident during Halloween. We can only hope for sure one of these theories is true.


All right, Bolo buddies, you might think she's nuts. She just sold that Bolo on what not for this price. Oh, did I mess up? Did I make a mistake? Did I do the right thing? Let's find out. Join me in this video as we research a Bolo category that you just might not know about. So do not walk past this Bolo. Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, I'm here to talk to you about a big money Bolo. You guys are going to think I'm crazy, but I told you guys that I'm bringing good stuff to what not, things that I would sell. Okay, before we go any further, I would like to invite you to follow me on what not. My link is down in the description of the video. If you want to know more about Bolo, you can follow me on Instagram, Twitter, Twitter, and Instagram. My link is down in the description of the video. If you are new to what not and you use that referral link to join, you will get $15 to shop. And if you are already on what not, you can just use that link to find me. All right, you guys, let's get started. And I kind of had an inkling that this was going to be a Bolo, but I did not know for sure because I did not look it up. I knew if I looked it up and saw that it was a big money Bolo, that I would want to list it. So I was like, I'm not looking it up. Let me show it to you and let me first tell you how I knew that it could be a Bolo. All right, so I have memberships on my channel and people can join and then they share their Bolo's and they get a mention in a video. So I share their Bolo and then I point to their YouTube channel or their eBay store and I link it down in the description in those videos. And a lot of times when people join memberships, I will go and check out their channel. So that's what I was doing. I was snooping around, all right? And I went over to this channel right here and right here it says 10 times my profit. And it said Bolo and I'm like, of course I'm going to watch that. I want to see what this is all about. And she was actually talking about the item that I sold in my what not auction. But I also sold another set of items that I think are also anyway. I did the research. I'm going to tell you about it. So anyway, this is Flipit Friends. She is a retired auctioneer and it sounds like she has a ton of knowledge. So definitely go and sub her up. I will link her down below in the description. I'm not sure how long she's been on YouTube. It doesn't look very like it's been very long. But 60 subscribers, you guys, let's see how many subscribers we can get her because she has fantastic editing skills and it looks like she really knows her stuff. So go check her out. I think it'll definitely be worth your time. All right, so let's go back. So that's how I knew when I saw this that it could be something special. But again, I didn't look it up. And one of the things that she mentioned is the more children that the item has the more it's worth. And her item had a ton of children. Go check out that video and see how much her sold for below crazy. Now, mine is very tiny. You can see it next to my finger. Another thing she said is if they are signed by an artist that can make them worth more money depending on who the artist is. Mine is in like amazing condition. It is incredible, but she only has two children. So I'm thinking about what her sold for.  I'm thinking about what her sold for. And I'm thinking it's the same type of thing, but I'm not 100% sure. And I'm like mine signed and I'm like, don't look it up. Don't look it up. This will be a great item to like bring people to your whatnot channel. You know, I want people to come and check out the channel. And I did a preview and I think I showed this in the preview. Now, here are the other items. They are these mini little pottery. I think they're from I think. Is it New Mexico? I think I don't know a whole lot about it, but they are signed on the bottom. And this is what it says. So there's this one. There's this little beauty. And I believe these are probably hand painted handmade. This one is also signed the same thing. And this one is just signed SC. But my favorite one is not signed at all. And it looks a little bit different. Like these are white on the inside. I don't know if this makes a difference. And this one is kind of more of a clay look. OK. And this one is not signed. But look how beautifully painted it is. This one may be worth the least. I have no idea. I sold these four as a lot. OK. This ended up selling for $35 plus shipping on my whatnot. OK. And we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about what they're selling for. And I'm going to show you a tool that you can use that's really important. OK. These four, I think after I sold the doll and people were like, oh, my goodness, that doll goes for this much. These went for $56 for all four of them. OK. So that is an incredible deal. And you're going to see what I'm talking about. And then I'm going to go into story time about the person that bought them. So stay tuned for that because I'm really excited. OK. So let's first we're going to go over to eBay and we are going to look at solds. OK. Now. eBay for the Mexican New Mexico miniature pots. Here is one right here, but this one is signed Grace Chino. So I think that's how you pronounce it. These are signed as Chino. So I don't know if the S makes a difference. If Grace is special, I have no idea. But this one miniature pot went up to one hundred and eleven dollars. And one thing that I mentioned, I would probably put dollhouse in the title. This one is called a seed pot. There was a best offer taken. And then you've got these two right here that only went for $17. So my thought on this one is that the person did not know the value. They put a buy it now price on it and they sold it too cheap. OK. So let's go over to the storyteller doll. All right. So I just put a storyteller and it's Chiquiti, C O C H I T I. I did not put in her name. OK. But we'll get into that. Here's one that sold for six hundred dollars. Now, mine is very small. This one right here is four and a half inches and this is a different artist. So the artist does make a difference. OK.  Two thirty nine one ninety nine. Look at the owls. Oh my goodness. OK. So here is one that is very, very similar to mine by the same artist. And this one sold for one hundred and sixty eight dollars and ninety nine cents. Now the hands and what they're doing with their hands is different than mine. So they are all, I would say, artists and made probably and a little bit different. This one has four babies. This one six inches, so it's a little bigger. This one just says storyteller doll with no artist. So definitely, definitely be on the lookout. OK. But it gets better. Let's go over to Worth Point. OK. So what I did on Worth Point is I typed in Chiquiti, C O C H I T I storyteller. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. I apologize if I am not. If you can find Helen Cordero, oh my goodness. Look at this. Eight thousand dollars. What does this tell you to do? It tells you to look everything up. What if I would have had Helen Cordero? Oh my goodness. So anyway, I am I'm really excited about this to be honest with you guys. The gal that won it, she is the lady that gave me all of the free plush. She reached out to me and she said, hey, I have all of this plush. I need it gone tomorrow. Can you come get it? And I went and picked it up. And so she gifted it to me. So I am super excited that she won these items because I think she's going to make some nice profits. So, yeah, that just kind of warmed my heart. OK, because she was such a generous giving person. And that was so kind of her to to give that to me. So all right. So let's look at some more of these solds from Worthpoint. And again, this is why I use Worthpoint. This is why I think Worthpoint is important. Worthpoint is a little bit pricey. I do pay by the year because it's cheaper than paying by the month. So I just have my subscription set up and I pay by the year. If you guys want to check out Worthpoint, I do have a referral link down in the description. Worthpoint is not for everyone. OK, it's more for people that are selling collectibles, harder to find items. I don't know if you can do clothing on Worthpoint. I've never really researched clothing, maybe vintage clothing. If anybody knows, put it in the comments. But I absolutely love Worthpoint for reasons just like this. OK, look at this one with all the babies, three thousand nine hundred dollars. Wow, look at all the babies. Oh, my goodness, it's crazy. So we're going to go over here to another page. And there's different variety, like these are on a turtle, but they're storyteller dolls. I know storyteller jewelry is another thing that can do really well. I learned that from Moonstone Mamas. So if you have anything that is like telling a story with symbols on jewelry, definitely look that up. We are still at over a thousand dollars for these pieces. This is absolutely incredible, incredible. OK, so let's go over and look at I mean, I could go on and on. You guys can definitely look into this more. Now I typed in the lady's last name. Shalon, Mary O. Shalon. OK. Here is the same artist that made mine. This one sold for one thousand one hundred and ninety nine dollars. It's an eleven inch, so it's a bigger one. And you look here, five hundred four twenty, these are bigger. But holy cow, here's the one that I showed you on eBay that sold in November of twenty two for one hundred and sixty eight ninety nine. And you guys, when you search on eBay, you may see a sold item that sold for way less. And it's just probably because the person didn't know what they had. They didn't know the value, so they underpriced the item. So it is really important to do your research and know what your item is worth if you're selling it on eBay. Again, I did not research the item on purpose. So right here, we've got sixty two and two thousand and seventeen. We've got sixty and two thousand and twenty two. But again, this person probably didn't have worth point. They probably didn't look it up. They didn't know that it was a special artist. They underpriced it. So honestly, if I was going to list this item right now, I would list it very, very high on eBay. Now, wait until you see the pots. All right. So I am under Chino pottery miniature. That's what I typed in. And you can see here, all of these went for eight hundred and thirteen. There's four of them here. 805, 546 for all of these. So they really, really just have a lot of variation. There's four here for three sixty five. But you can see some of them are big money. And it's just a really, really cool item that I didn't know about. And it's definitely something to be on the lookout for. And I don't know the gal that bought it. She may be a collector. She may enjoy stuff like this. This one right here sold for one hundred and forty five for one pot. And they're calling them seed pots. So very, very cool. And I'm sure that the art that's on them can make them more valuable one hundred and eleven on this one. But lots of variation. So I love worth point. And this is just another example of why. Oh, this one, look at here sold for seventy eight. And if you go into the listing, you can actually look at the bottom. This one is actually signed Grace. All right. So when you go in, you're not only getting just the solds. I now have all of this information right here about this piece of art. So let's go back to one of mine. Let's go to this one right here. Actually, let's go up to the one that sold for one hundred and sixty eight because I like to look at the high solds because those are the ones that I'm like, they must have had a good description or so you can see right here, very, very similar to the writing on the bottom of mine. And actually, I think that one has a little defect there. There is a minor chip of color on the child's right hand, which can be seen in pictures. Please view all pictures. It says Mary Chalon. I don't know how to say it is the daughter of Raymond and Barbita Hera. She was born into the Chiquita Pueblo of New Mexico in 1939 and was taught the art of working the clay by her famous mother-in-law, Helen Cordero. OK, so remember Helen Cordero is the one that sells for crazy money. She's the one that is the most collectible from my research. So she is the what did it say? Helen is her mother-in-law. So the origin of the first storyteller dolls can be traced to the artist's mother-in-law, Helen Cordero, developed the art from that became popular throughout the other Pueblos of New Mexico. Mary has won numerous awards, including Honorable Award of the New Mexico State Fair and Blue Ribbons from Colorado and Arizona. She has been featured in numerous publications, including the Santa Fe Collector's Guide. How cool is that? It's so cool, right? Oh, my goodness, I love it. I love this story. So I'm also going to link the gal that bought these. I don't know if she's going to be reselling them, but I don't see anything wrong with this. Like some the one that sold for one hundred and sixty eight had a chip. Somebody has one priced really low right now on eBay. And it's really unfortunate that they didn't do the research because things like that, you know, when sellers search solds, it can bring confusion, you know, and then they just don't know the value. But this is stunning. So again, the gal that bought these, I'm going to link her in the down in the description because I have her eBay store. She gave me all the plush because she just needed them to go. And I was like, that'll be great. I can do unboxings on my channel. And it was just it was a great opportunity and a really just a true blessing that she blessed me with. And I appreciate it so much. I'm going to link her eBay store down in the description and you guys can go check her out. I know she sells a lot of jewelry. So definitely check her out down below. Follow her eBay store. These items may be coming in the future. And again, go check out Flip It Friends. Let me pop that back up because she is a newer YouTuber. And let's go show her some love with a sub. When you go and comment on her video, it's the first one that says ten times profit, Bolo. Tell her Bolo buddies sent you. All right, you guys, I hope you learned something new. This is I'm going to call this a category video because I'm really like kind of chunking it down into one little category, but I didn't know. And it's a super fun Bolo. This came from that crafter's estate that was a garage sale. So I think I told this story in the other video. I was literally there were garage sale signs and I went in and I was pulling out and there were like two or three signs. And I'm like, I only went to two sales. Did I miss a sale? And I was like, OK, I know there's a community sale up the road. Do I turn and go to the community sale? Or do I back up, turn my car around and go back and see if there's another garage sale, if I really missed one. And I turned around and went back and that was this sale. And it was an estate garage sale. So what that means is it was a family family members were selling the stuff at a garage sale. But it was so it wasn't put on by a company. So these are the best ones. These are people that just want the stuff gone. So to them, they saw a bunch of crafter's items. It didn't really interest them and they didn't understand the value. And quite frankly, I really don't understand the value of crafter's items because I'm not a crafter. I know it has value, but I didn't really know what I was buying. OK, so I walk up to the sale and I just start like throwing stuff. I'm like, how much is this stuff? And they're like, I don't know, just make a pile. So I'm like throwing stuff and I make a little pile and I'm like, how much for this? And they give me a price and I'm like, I would do that. So now I know kind of where they're at with pricing because I didn't want to make this huge pile and then be like one million dollars you have to pay. And I've done all this work and spent hours at this sale and it's just not. Does it make sense? OK. So I fill it up, fill it up and I'm pulling stuff off shelves. I'm making this huge pile and they're like, do you want to go to the basement? And I'm like, I do want to go to the basement. So it was a husband and a wife side. So I'm down in this basement and I am just filling big boxes. So you guys, if you didn't see the video, definitely go check out the entire video. I did not record while I was there. There was no way I was going to record. Like I was too busy, like just filling these boxes. And I brought everything up and I sat it in the garage. And I think I told this story before, too. But if you didn't see that video, there were like between five and seven huge trash bags full of stuff. And I'm like, what's that? And they're like, that's stuff that's going to the trash. And I'm like, is it trash or is it trash? Like, is it dirty, disgusting trash? Or is it just stuff you think people won't buy?  And I'm like, can I buy those bags from you? So those bags were a dollar each. And I will say I donated a lot of that stuff. But there were items that I pulled out of there that I kept. So it was just a super fun, exciting sale. It's one of those that you like as a reseller, you walk up to and you're like, yes. So I made my pile and I in the other video, everybody's like, what did you pay for everything? And I'm like, the reason I didn't tell you guys what I paid for everything is because honestly, I don't remember. I think, but don't quote me on this. I want to say he told me a hundred and then I gave him extra. It was a fantastic deal. But I will tell you when I was loading those totes, I really wasn't sure what I had. I didn't know if it was going to be anything good or if it was just a bunch of stuff that wasn't going to sell. I was thinking about what not at that time, but I wasn't 100 percent like.  So I had originally planned on starting. I'm trying to remember when I joined like five or six months before that, like I joined and then I was like, I'm going to do it. And I was like, I'm not going to do it. I don't know how to do it. I don't want to learn something new. And now I'm like, why didn't I do this sooner?  So I'm trying to bring you guys stuff that I would sell on eBay, which you guys know that I sell anything from bread and butter to big money. Am I selling to the reseller? I mean, people are buying my items and reselling them. So yeah, I guess. But I also think I am selling items to people who use the items and want the items for personal use.  Are you going to make a profit if you are a reseller and is it worth it? You know, that's what we do every day as resellers. We go out and we look for bargains. We look for people that miss things like the item that sold on what not for almost $1,000 that they paid 24. That person missed it. And people could be looking at me like, you just missed it. Yeah, I did. And somebody had said that I was. Um. It was mean of me to shame the person that sold the item that undersold it. I'm like, I'm not shaming the person. I didn't even say who the person was. Number one, number two, if I would have said who the person was, I'm going to bet that everybody that watches me would have went over to their whatnot and followed them. It would have been amazing advertising for that person. Oh, my goodness. So definitely not shaming them. And I'm hoping by showing you guys this video that you guys are going to all come and follow me on what not. Um, so down in the description, there is a link to join what not. If you're already on what not, that will take you to follow me. If you're not, it is a referral link and you will get $15 to shop. So definitely check that out. If you want to sell on what not, there is another link down there that is a seller's link. If you use that link, it is a referral link also. It is going to tell what not that Bolo buddies referred you and you may be more likely to get accepted quicker. Um, I've had multiple people message me and say, I got accepted right away. One person, I think she did it at 6 30 PM or seven. I can't remember. It was in one of my videos in the comments and she was by the next morning, she had an email that she was accepted. And I don't think she's a social media influencer. Now the next question people have. Can I sell on what not? If I don't have a social media following. Yes, is it going to take you time to build up your what not? Yes, just like anything else. If you start Poshmark, you have to follow and share and do all these things to build up your following, right? Mercari, eBay, you have to list, list, list to fill your item with wonderful items so that people want to come into your store. No, it's not just like sign up and start selling and everything's going to be like awesome. Okay. Now, if you have a social media following, a Facebook group, uh, an Instagram following, whatever that may be, a YouTube channel, are you going to maybe have a better following more quickly? Yes. Do I think that having a channel has helped me 100% but I am also doing previews on my YouTube channel. So I'm showing everybody what I'm bringing to what not. So that is bringing people over to my shows. Our viewers from this channel buying from me. Yes. Do I think that they're getting good deals? Yes. Um, I don't want to bring bad items to what not because I have a reputation to keep, you know what I mean? Like I want you guys to be happy. So, um, I want to bring good stuff. So when I first started what not, one thing that I heard over and over was people are bringing things to what not that they don't want to sell on eBay. I, and I saw that I would watch some shows and I'm like, wow, this like they're just bringing their junk. You know what I mean? Like it's just not even good. And I said, if I'm going to do this, I'm not going to do that. I'm going to bring things that I would sell on eBay. You guys have seen my money mountain and I don't have time to list all of that. I do not have time. Um, my format on what not is I don't use the catalog because I don't have time when you come to my show. You don't know what I'm going to show because I don't, I give you that YouTube preview, but that's it. I, you're not, you're not going to know what I'm bringing. So, um, and let me know in the comments. Do you think that's good or bad? Are you guys that are coming to my shows? Do you like the format? Do you not like the format? Um, I'm kind of curious, but I literally will be like, okay, I'm going to sell this and then I will create it right then. I don't put a description. I just put, um, Chiquita doll or whatever I put and then I run it. I weigh it and I run it. The other reason I'm doing that is because a lot of times I'm creating small lots. So I will create the lot, then I will weigh it and then I will type it in and run it because otherwise I don't know what it's going to weigh, um, because I'm doing bundles and stuff like that. So let's say I show one item and it doesn't sell. Um, I may add it to another item and then that's going to change the weight. So there's different things on whatnot. If you guys have questions down there, definitely let me know. I am absolutely loving it. I love it that I get to like hang out with you guys, um, during the chat. Um, it's hard to read the chat. You will see if you do this on your own. A lot of people have a helper. Um, I'm just doing it on my own. My husband goes to bed super early because he gets up and works early and he works, you know, he's, he has a job. He works the full-time job. So he does resell on the side as a hobby. But, um, like I'm not going to ask him to stay up until 1 a.m. and get up at five and do a whatnot show with me or six or whatever time he gets up. Um, no way, you know, like I can do it myself, but, um, yeah, it's just, it's fun. So, and he's been very encouraging and he's, I think he's excited about it. I mean, it's a, it's a cool thing. So, um, all right, I have rambled and rambled and rambled. I don't usually ramble like that, but, uh, it was just a cool story. And, um, I'm, like I said, I'm excited that the gal got it, that got it. So, um, I'm not going to mention her name because I keep that private, but I will link her eBay store down below. All right, you guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Let me know if you liked this video. Um, if you're new here, tell me how you found the channel. Thanks for watching.


Welcome back, so let's chat ladies, should couples get married when they're broke? Is there a time financially when it's better to tie the knot? Broke is relative. Right, yeah, that's true. That is so true. I think it's good. I think it's okay.  You know, that's not why people get married. It shouldn't be a reason. You don't think there should be some sort of financial stability along with the emotional stability of the relationship to build your future? Financial stability is something that you're always working towards. Right, right. You know, once you get to a place where you're comfortable, you're always still looking to move to another place where you can get more comfortable and look for a place. So it's evolving. Your financial, your financial, I know my finances are evolving, I don't know about evolving. But to Madison's point, I think in a marriage what happens you do is you decide, you know, you should talk about it. You should talk about, have that conversation before you get married. Hey, listen, this is where we are financially. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough with what you should, what did you and your husband do? Tell me about that conversation. We were broke. Yeah. We were broke. We didn't have a house. He was just getting out of graduate school. I was working, so he didn't have a job. But we knew that picture going in, so we got a little apartment. Did he have a ring? When he imposed pros to me, we did not have a ring. No. We did not afford to have a ring. Really? Right. We got married 90 days before we got married. But we talked about it. See, that's the difference. We knew our picture going in. It wasn't like there was some expectation that he had a million dollars in the bank that he was hiding. And I think that's what's missing. People are not having the conversation. Well, but I think a lot of men, even, you know, guys I've been in relationships with them past have said, you know, I love you, but I've got to make a little more money, get myself financially stable before we build a future. And I'm wondering, is that an excuse because he doesn't really want to build a future or is he really concerned about his finances? I think, for most men, they are concerned about their finances. Men think about it more than women do. They want to see them. They visualize and see themselves, at least I think, in a way where they are successful and they're doing this and then they got the ring and then they got the girl. So they have a different way of visualizing what marriage or weddings look like.  It doesn't matter. Where's my twisty tie for a ring? I love my wife, man. I did meet a woman who had said to a male friend of mine, she pulled out this picture in Cosmopolitan of this ring that was worth about $50,000 plus and she tore it out and she said, don't ask me to marry you until you can get me this. See, there's a lot of women out there who are like that, who want to make sure their man can afford their lifestyle that they want for themselves. Now, at the time, I was like, okay, this is a bit shallow. However, at the same time, is it shallow because she just knows what she wants and she's on it. Yes. She was honest. She was honest. She was honest. She was like, no. That's true. Look, this is the kind of life I want to live in. If you can't give it to me, don't ask me to marry you. That's true. She should give it to herself. Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. Well, good that she was honest, but also as women, we have to identify potential, right? Where my husband and I are financially today, we weren't 22 years ago. Yeah. But again, we had the conversation across the road. So sometimes it's women. I'm a caution the $50,000 ring early when it's not going to be sustainable. But also, what your vision of marriage may be different from someone else's. My vision of marriage when I got married was, and I remember saying this to my ex, saying, you know what, as long as we're happy, I'm okay if we live in a trailer park. Okay. Now, years later, I get that repeated back to me as if I didn't know that you wanted me to buy the trailer park. Well, no. You see, like, I'm nervous to have that conversation about finances. Why? I don't really want to share all of my secrets. Well, wait. My purchases are like, I just, for some reason, it makes me very, very nervous and very hesitant to be completely open. Wait, what secrets are you keeping? Well, no, no. Not necessarily secrets, but, I mean, debt, I feel like a man who wants to marry me is like, oh, but I don't want to be responsible for all her baggage. So you feel that he'll reject you. Student loans, car payments, et cetera, because I feel like that is just kind of a few times. Okay. I'm a little old fashioned that way, I think. When you have a marriage, you are marrying. Absolutely. You're marrying. Yes.  But speaking with your emotional life, then, if you're not as financially stable, does that cause more problems in your relationship? But I think it's where you put the emphasis. No. You know what? It doesn't. You're right. It's where you put the emphasis. Again, you ask me, and I'll go back to it. We didn't have a lot. We didn't have a lot. But what we had, and don't dismiss this, ladies, is we talked about what our future was going to look like together. And we said we only make X amount of money, and we've worked in those means. And I know people. And I put pressure on him. I know couples who have had a lot of money, and they spent that money ignoring each other. Right. And it didn't help them in their marriage. That's powerful. It's really relative. And I think I love you. It's really relative. You have a million dollars. You don't love each other. You have a dollar for... You can afford to spend more time away from each other. You're going to talk a little bit, but you're happy because you're looking at each other's eyes. On that note, we'll be back with more every way women. Stay tuned. I can buy my own trailer park. No.
