Greetings and salutations, fellow earthlings of this planet. In this video I’m having one of those real-talk conversations about live reselling in 2026—because it is not the same game it used to be. I’m at the shop doing the very unglamorous stuff (shipping, listing, chasing down orders), and it’s the perfect backdrop for what I’m trying to say: the pressure to be live all the time, keep up with expectations, and still pay your bills is a lot. I share what’s actually selling for me right now (hello, “hot right now” critter stuff from the bins), what didn’t move in a live but sold fast on eBay, and why the constant hustle can start to feel like you’re tied down to sales and sales and sales. I also take you behind the scenes of why I built Virtual Antique Marketplace (VAMP). I go live there to help new sellers learn the ropes—how to list on the fly, do giveaways, run quick-claim style sales, and just feel confident. And I’m honest about the part that makes me a little sad: I used to see so many of you in YouTube sales, and I don’t always see you in my VAMP lives. Community matters more than ever right now, and I’m proud of what we’re building—an easier, safer-feeling place to shop and support knowledgeable vintage sellers who truly love what they sell.
