It’s been 21 months since I joined Shannon Jean resellers mastermind community….its been a blessing to meet such great people in this chapter of my life:: A bit about me (no TL DR version) I grew up poor and remember going to auctions when I was 12 years old…. We would buy the $1 boxes that everyone one else overlooked…. On a Friday night we would load up the truck and trailer with over 50’of them…. It was usually midnight before we were done….. Then we would head to the swap meet and sleep in the truck until about 5am… Next we started unloading and putting the overlooked merchandise on our card tables…. That’s where I learned how to haggle and to sell…. Regulars would come by and get a kick out of an 12 year old…selling stuff… At that time my dad made $7 an hour and we usually made $200 to $300 in profit at the swap meet… We felt rich going through the McDonald’s drive through and ordering 25 of the hamburgers that were 35 cents and eating off them during the week… By the time I was 16 my dad remarried and found another job that provided more $$ for our family…. To be honest I enjoyed auctions/swapmeets with my Dad… It’s partly why I enjoy reselling…my Dad chooses not to be in my kids life and I miss some of the experiences we had…. I put myself through college 100% self funded selling at swap meets, festivals and my first accounting job… Graduated in 5.5 years with no debt….the passed the CPA exam and said good by to the prior life… I could make much more $$$ focusing on building an accounting/CPA business… But I really enjoy meeting and talking with people searching for a bargain… The FB marketplace customers are my people (Lol)…im empathetic because I’ve also walked in their shoes.. Poor folks…are some of the most loyal, compassionate, and generous people… Anyways reselling restarted with my first 2 pallets on 10/7/24… Landed cost was $1,042. Profit was $1300+ 13 days to sell out Never used a Pressure Washer before Not a handy guy… I’ve sold over 1700 pressure washers since then…primarily on Facebook Marketplace… My wife has joined the cause and she reflected this weekend that she may Resurrect her “Sales” career.:: She was in corporate sales before being a SAHM…. She may start selling heavy equipment/machinery… Why? She likes selling pressure washers to guys! You can just do stuff… We are going to fund our kids college through reselling? Why…we really like the people! It’s hard work and not easy..not passive!

Hot take: Amazon is in trouble with a few customer behaviors. 1) Amazon rental program (Buy it, use it, return it). 2) People buying from local Amazon return auctions. 30 Pack Brand new Skinny popcorn for $3 New comforters for $3 iPhone case $2 Before buying on Amazon my family checks the local Justbid auction. We save $100s a month. Always tons of people there. Behaviors are being changed. Checkout this video and let me know if you want more intel on operations like these that are popping up nationally!

The Amazon/Costco Rental Program finally hit me.z A guy bought a used gas pressure washer from me on Facebook Marketplace. Not last week. Not last month. 3 months ago. Yesterday he showed up wanting either: A different pressure washer All of his money back I asked a few questions. “How long have you owned it?” “About 3 months.” “How often have you used it?” “Every couple of days.” Then he explained that it wasn’t starting and was “leaking gas everywhere.” I walked over. Opened the gas cap it’s full. No signs of leaking. Pulled the starter rope once. It fired right up. Was it running rough? Absolutely. Could it need some work? Probably. But then came the expectation… “I want a different one or my money back.” That’s where we disagreed. You bought a 4-5 year old pressure washer from Facebook Marketplace and used it regularly for 90 days. That’s not a return. That’s ownership. I told him I wasn’t refunding his money, but I was willing to have my mechanic look at it. I even offered to buy it back for 60% of what he paid. For context, that’s less than what a 2-day rental would have cost. He wasn’t thrilled. Maybe I’m old school, but Facebook Marketplace isn’t Costco. When you buy used equipment from a seller, do you think the seller should still be responsible 90 days later?

We have been “shadow banned” reselling on Facebook Marketplace to help save $$$ for our kids college fund. Whats frustrating is we have no restrictions, violations and our Marketplace health is Active -Good. We have spent over 4 hours with Meta Enhanced Support and they see no indications of a shadow ban however when we ask friends and family to search for pressure washers none of our listings show up. When is X going to get a local marketplace Nikita Bier Elon Musk? Can the algorithm be open-sourced? We are meta verified have over 460 reviews and 4.9 rating out of 5. We work hard to share discounts with our community and do so with superior customer service..just look at the video as I scroll our reviews. I’d just like to know what we are doing wrong to correct so we can sell the 10 pallets of customer returns that are currently in the garage and continue to stack for the college fund. Please retweet and share and if you have any advice or know folks that run FB marketplace product my DMs are open!

My wife was quoted $7k for this job. I handled it in 15 minutes. Were they trying to screw her over? What did I do wrong??

Hot take: Amazon is in trouble with a few changes in customer behaviors. 1) Amazon rental program (Buy it, use it, return it). 2) People buying from local Amazon return auctions. Before buying on Amazon I check my local auction. I buy household snacks, bath and body stuff, gifts and a few items that help with reselling for 20 to 30% on the dollar. Imagine a unified auction marketplace across the US solely for amazon returns. Whose going to build it?
