Going to be up to no good with these guys again at the SoCal Gaming Expo this year! June 8th and 9th, would love to meet some of you guys if you can make it, and will be buying if you’ve got stuff to sell! 

Folks as of THIS WEEK you can now officially download my new video game reseller app OneUp! My wife was so excited she baked some announcement cookies with icing logos 😂

Oneup is my app that makes puts flipping video games on easy mode by giving you access to the best wholesale prices around. My business model has always been to Buy Low and Sell Fast, and OneUp is designed to help you do just that.

Right now we’re offering extremely competitive wholesale prices on 1,000 super common games and handhelds, with plans to expand significantly this coming year.

If you’re just looking to track your collection value and check market prices, we’ve got a free version just for you! And our partners on the paid tier will quickly start to earn free months of membership as you submit batches of games to us.

This app is not available through the App Store or Google play store, but when you go to one-up.app and set up your account, you’ll be prompted to install the app to your Home Screen, and it will function just like all your other apps.

This has been easily the riskiest thing I’ve ever done, thanks so much to the few hundred of you who are already using it and sending feedback! 

Well folks this has officially been my lowest-upload month ever. Thanks for your patience with the lack of video drops, this editing timeline screenshot from Editor Riff might give you an idea why 😅

Hoping for March 3rd for the next upload, it took a month and a half to film and will be almost an hour long. 

Folks I’m coming back to Texas this weekend! I’ll be a guest at a couple trade events at Houston-area video game stores this Friday and Saturday. Both the stores and I will be buying games and consoles, so come on out if you have stuff to sell or just want to hang!

Friday, Feb 23rd from  1:00 - 5:00 
Culture Shock Games/Game Bros in LaPorte, TX

Saturday, Feb 24th from  1:00 - 5:00 
Rare n’ Classic Games in Katy, TX

Hope to see a bunch of you there! 

Just wanted to share this text I got from Editor Riff at 1 AM. 

In the breakdown vid I posted last week I mentioned we were 'on track' to do about $1.1M in video game sales this year across platforms. Here's the final total, haven't finished the bookkeeping to know the exact profit but it should be about $165-170k. Don't let people shame you for how large or small your business is. I've experienced the full spectrum at this point from friends not taking my little book flipping business seriously in 2019, to people now assuming that the only way I can be making this much money is by ripping people off. 

No matter the stage of business growth I'm in, I've been comforted by these words: "Nobody hates you who's ahead of you." Winners don't have the time or energy to spend casting doubt and negativity on smaller businesses. So when I've gotten hate, both in comments and DM's, I try to remember it's always coming from someone who is worse off than I am, just trying to feel better about it.

This is where the mantra of "money positivity" comes from on this channel. There's too much toxicity around people trying to work harder to make more money for their families and themselves. I'm really happy to say the comments on my last vid, which was very money-heavy, were some of the most positive I've ever seen on this channel. Thank you all for that.

I've got another 45-minute business-heavy banger for you guys coming out Sunday, featuring someone who sold more than double what I did this year. I really hope you love it. 

I think I’ve put more into this next video than any I’ve ever made before. Going to be leaning much heavier into the personal and tactical side of the business for this one, spent about 12 hours planning and shooting, and Riff said it was the most involved edit to date. 

If you’re a reseller of any kind - you’ll want to lean in.

See you on the 24th. 

NEW CHALLENGE: 
If you see me at a video game convention this year and inconspicuously drop the word “Squeegee” into conversation, I’ll give you a channel sticker 😎

Seriously though don’t hesitate to say hi if you’ll be at any of these events! I know a lot of voice actors and actual important people charge for selfies and stuff but they’re always free from me. I’m usually also buying stuff if you bring stuff to sell! 

Going to be at Game Jam South in Huntsville, Alabama on Saturday! Come say hi if you’re in the area, will also be buying games there if you’ve got some to sell!
