Can’t wait for the next podcast !!! I really enjoyed the book reviews wish you could do more of them !!

Thankful to Mike and Orlando for being my unofficial co-workers each week. Reselling is such a fun business, but can often feel so lonely. Mike and Orlando help fill the social void of being a solo entrepreneur while also providing great information, entertaining stories and keeping me up to date on important reseller news, bolos and lessons they have learned along the way. Listing items on eBay is pretty mundane- but when you have Mike and Orlando on in the background while you list its much more enjoyable! Thanks guys!

Recently discovered the pure hustle podcast and have been going through episodes. Lots of valuable information, thanks!

Wanted to respond to one of the questions about taking a risk that paid off on episode Jan 16 but I have no idea how. Love the podcast- it’s entertaining and educational :)

The best and most informative reselling podcast available.

I started listening to this show when I first started reselling over a year ago. These guys are consistent, seem like nice people and I always learn a thing or two each podcast. Thank you for your time in working on this show!

I enjoy the content of the pod very much…equal parts entertaining and informative. My only complaint is the sound. The mic levels are off and Orlando is always lower and sometimesmuffled. I find myself lowering and higher the volume throughout the episodes. Still going to listen though!

Orlando is so self centered it ruins the podcast.

I’ve learned a lot about reselling with these guys. They certainly share their “sides”. Orlando is a pain to listen to, but fun to listen to and frankly motivation to be better. Whether he’s doing good or bad he always has something to complain about. Reselling takes work and when work becomes present he seems to always say “it’s tough ”. It’s called work Orlando, do it or get out of the way.

I have learned about so many strategies for increasing profitability in my resale business from Orlando and Mike! They are clear that this is not a do no work and get rich kind of business. The tone of the podcast is informative, but relaxing. It is my go to for my hour long commute!

Great show not all teaching , there are plenty of times they tell it like it’s happening. Some folks can’t handle the truth! 🤣🤣 You guy are doing great.

Love the show and both Mike and Orlando have their own styles which is very valuable as a reseller. They explain things well and are not unrealistic like some shows can be. My go to podcast for everything resale!

As the title states… I feel compelled to give an honest

Don’t change a thing!!!

I have been listening for a few years an the last few months I start a new episode and feel like you guys spend a lot of time talking about how it used to be back in the day well maybe it time to move on because today is today make work or get into something that works for you

I’ve been listening to PHP for over 3 years used to look forward to the podcast every week, but lately it has been a bit of a downer. I find myself in a negative mindset after listening. I think everyone is experiencing slow down on Ebay, but it would be nice to hear about something else. Orlando comes across as someone who has hustled too long and is burnt out. He needs a more sustainable business model. I think it’s a case of not seeing the forest because of the trees. There are so many options for monetization that PHP isn’t taking advantage of. Mike and Orlando need to get some kind of coach to help get the PHP brand on track. I really wish them the very best. I’ll be taking a break from the show but will come back in a few months to see if things have changed.

Thank you!

I appreciate Mike and Orlando’s honesty about the slow online eBay sales. Their report on June 5, 2024 about the unusually slow sales and extreme reduction in interaction via messages and offers, even for sellers who constantly desirable items at reasonable prices, is what is also being confirmed on Reddit and among various user groups regarding Poshmark and Mercari as well. It seems like sellers will need to be patient as eventually there will be a change in demand.

Orlando and Mike are always entertaining and informative. A great resource for resellers and thrifters.

Old school resellers here and just started listening to podcasts. Hooked on y’all’s. I find I often get stuck in my formula of selling. Hearing different perspective always makes me think and gives me new ideas. Love listening to y’all’s perspective and stories. Refreshing my paradigm. Good luck and keep the showers coming.

You guys do a great job! I especially like the Hustle of the Week and BOLO segments but all of it is great information for resellers. 👍🏻

I’m new to the podcast but have now binged about 100 episodes as I start my resale journey. I appreciate your insight and experience. Thank you!

Just realized I never left a review after having listened to these guys for over 5 years. I started listening to Mike and Orlando slightly after starting my own reselling journey, and they’ve felt like constant companions as I’ve built my side hustle over the years. Love their banter, and it’s always interesting to hear about the experiences of resellers living in different parts of the country. I miss the days of two episodes per week and periodic interviews, but really appreciate all the time that these guys put into this free content. Thanks, Mike and Orlando!

Whether it’s all the tips for manipulating people at garage sales to emotionally detach them from their stuff, texting and trying to shame kids who don’t take low ball offers, buying stuff at retail stores only to return it if it doesn’t sell..ohhh and wishing they had gotten a PPP loan to “level up” their business (when they have no actual employees) these guys are the reason people complain about resellers. The main complaint of resellers in general is that they try and take advantage of the average person for their own gain. Ding ding ding. I’m sure they are good people with families who they take care of but they have lost sight of the teaching aspect of this podcast and it has become about how you can manipulate the system more. Times are hard for everyone.. you start taking advantage of others.. they have less money to buy your stuff. Ohh and every time Orlando does something shady he laughs.. if he played poker he’d be screwed. Anyway, I hate writing reviews but I just think the reselling community as a whole does not need more justification to make people hate them.

Love learning about a side hustle from a fellow educator. The struggle is real ;)

I have been listening since episode 25 and this is way overdue. Sorry. This is the best eBay reseller podcast out there. Mike and Orlando are 2 professional educators who have taken their skills of teaching from the school room to the podcast airwaves. They are entertaining and authentic sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of a reseller life. They give both sides for a topic so very informative and truthful. They give it their all on each show and have filled a huge hole once Scavenger Life stopped. So consider these great guys the NEW OG of reselling. I am an experienced reseller with over 25,000 sold and I listen to this every week and learn something. Well worth my time.

These guys know what they know but what kills me is that they have a lot of opinions about things they have no clue about. When they speculate on how products are developed - or say things like “glitch” (it’s called a bug) or IT (it’s called engineering) it’s almost intolerable if you have ever worked on software products. Additionally, I’m shocked that crosslisting is such a novel concept. I certainly don’t have as much experience as they do overall but they clearly stay in their lane until something is no longer working and then sound like they are scrambling to pivot (ironically what they trash eBay for). I listen bc I think it’s worth listening to people with different perspectives but guys… exercise some basic curiosity and have some better informed opinions.

Gave up true crime for these guys! I have learned so much from Mike & Orlando. Two really great men. Full of reselling tips! And their voices & stories 🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything you are looking for in a reselling podcast. I love the show. I listen to you guys while I’m out driving for my full time job. I’ve been selling on eBay since 1999 when we used to mail each other cash in envelopes or money orders. I sold under my moms account back then as I was underage and switched to my account in 2005. Good luck in the new year and thanks for the content!

Mike and Orlando are great! I just started selling on eBay and I have learned a ton from the content these guys put out regarding everything from sourcing to the app tools that help managing my reselling business. I love the BOLOs and the hustle of the week. If you are a reseller or thinking about reselling you gotta check out this podcast. BBBBBBBBBBOLO!!!

I have been reselling for many years with Conshy Consignment and I learn something new every time I listen. I love the positive attitude and the thoughtful opinions that stop and make me think. Great job, I look forward to your podcasts and level up reviews! -Libby

This is definitely my go to reselling Thrifting podcast. I’ve been reselling for 20 years and have had an eBay store for five. I enjoy hearing the banter between the two of you, and you provide good useful and thought-provoking information. I normally have you on when I’m driving or when I’m packing sold orders to ship out. Great show-Keep it up. -Old Army Dude

I have a brick and mortar shop reselling second hand and vintage items and have been wanting to go online. Dipped my toe a couple times and finally took the plunge while listening to this podcast. Absolutely THE best podcast on the topic. They have a great balance of personalities and are very easy and entertaining to listen to while still being meaty. I appreciate all the research and personal insight, it’s always valuable. Thanks so much for giving your time and knowledge to make this podcast <3

I'm surprised to see negative comments about Orlando! He's the only genuine reseller on this podcast. I enjoy Mike's contributions, but I don't believe he actively resells. Orlando's Instagram stories are a highlight of my Saturdays. He's constantly out and about, sourcing new items, and he generously shares his wins with us.

I’ve been reselling for about 6 months, and listening to these guys for most of that time. At this point I’ve probably binged about half of the episodes. These guys share the wins and the losses, and the realities of reselling in an entertaining and unintimidating manner. In a sea of clickbait and get rich quick schemes, I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this genuine, down to earth, and informative podcast.

I love the podcast as it’s really informative but Orlando needs to stop talking over Mike, for real. I’ve listened to almost every episode on this podcast and almost every single time, Orlando somehow feels the need to interrupt Mike with his nonsense. Just let the man talk, please, my goodness.

Long time listener - first time commenter. Long overdue comment for these two legit reselling content providers. Mike and Orlando are gem mint status in my first edition book. I began listening December pre-covid. Stifled in a corporate lawyer position I had recently came upon a hoarder house that needed clearing with my Dad. A Black Snow Snowboard and an Ebay Cha-ching was all it took to get me hooked. I needed more information on how e-Bay worked and this is where I got it. Mike and Orlando keep me up to date on reselling when I am too busy. If you are wondering how reselling is done - this is the (unvero'd) Rosetta Stone. I quit my legal profession and resell full time with the help of these guys. I didnt even have to take a pay cut because I followed their making the jump advice. I now ENJOY my job because of these guys. The content is fantastic and now that Mike is a bins guy and Orlando is going back to Amazon it is going to get even better. Thanks a million!

The OG of reselling podcasts . I learn so much - thanks for all the hard work . It’s appreciated.

I love podcasts that uses the first 20 minutes reading stats from articles. 32 percent of most listeners turn off the podcast when the host mind numbingly reads off stats. What’s next, asking us to guess smells over the podcast? If you don’t have enough content to make a weekly podcast, maybe you shouldn’t. Quality over quantity. Bring back the 5th wheel podcast !!!

I must listen to you guys too much because last night I was dreaming I was dating Orlando! It was pretty cool though because I now had someone to source with and talk about ebay. Lol. But seriously I look forward to this podcast every week. I listen while I am working and it breaks up my day. Very informative and relatable. Thank you guys so much for your weekly inspiration!

This is one one the best podcasts for eBay reselling. These guys have integrity and valuable insight. At the beginning of June 2023, my sales stopped! Their advice about getting the sale Jumped started my summer. My summer slowdown became a speed up! Now going in, Their insight about how eBay is pushing sales is so valuable! This show provides valuable and timely advice!

I like listening to these guys, they are sweet fellas, working hard and sharing their knowledge on reselling. It’s interesting to hear about how other resellers work, it helps the rest of us learn about what we do and how to do things better. Thanks!

I appreciate the overall positive outlook of the show and have picked up some good tips. I also like that they stick to the topic and skip the inane chit chat and banter that make some other shows unbearable.

These guys know their stuff! I’ve been reselling a few years and I still learn things from them, they are honest, stay on point and explore topics that resonate with reselling.

Besides helpful, these guys and guest are fun and entertaining to listen to!

I'm a fairly new reseller, and I feel like Mike & Orlando have given me such a step up in the process. They've flattened out the learning curve considerably. If you're getting into reselling, or even if you have been a reseller for awhile and just want to level up, this is the #1 podcast I recommend. So many other podcasts are wayyy too heavy on the side conversations, and I feel like I'm wasting hours just to get 15 minutes of relevant issues. These folks have perfected the balance between a little bit of chat mixed with a ton of great tips and info. Wonderful podcast!!

This is my favorite podcast ever! Such good info and very entertaining! I’m currently listening to all your old ones because I can’t get enough thank you and keep up the good work!

Too negative - used to enjoy but not anymore

Fun, positive, and educational. Thank you, Mike and Orlando!

These two have helped my part time reselling on eBay for years. So many helps and ideas. I’ve listened to every episode and look forward to each one. Highly, highly recommended!
