Chapter 2: What business idea can I start with GovDeals?

3.898 - 19.164 Shaan Puri

If you're the type of person who's got the entrepreneurial itch, you want to do something, you want to start a new business, you want to get that extra $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 of income coming in every month, but you don't know which idea to do, which idea to start with. Maybe you don't even have great ideas. This is the episode for that person. We brought on Chris.

He's sort of the side hustle king.

He loves to find simple, no money up front, easy businesses that can pull in cash quickly and then can grow from there. And so Chris came on. He's got about five ideas for us. I think you will love this episode with Chris. All right, we got Chris Corner here. You are back because you have an absolute pipeline, an absolute full stack of business ideas at all times.

Chapter 4: What is the concept behind a snail mail subscription club?

59.954 - 69.772 Shaan Puri

If people haven't seen it, you got a great Instagram channel and YouTube channel podcast as well, where you talk about different business ideas. And so that's what I want to do today.

69.812 - 76.123 Chris Koerner

Dude, I have so many. It's not Friday, but I feel like we need to call this no filler Friday because there's no filler today.

76.103 - 76.964 Shaan Puri

All stuff, no fluff.

Chapter 5: How can I feed Amazon workers effectively?

77.084 - 89.6 Shaan Puri

All right. I have a friend who I want to ask you this question on his behalf. I have a friend who is a real estate agent, and he does well. He makes, I think, let's call it $250,000, $300,000 a year. Been doing that for 10 years.

Chapter 6: What is the tote rental business model?

89.92 - 98.01 Shaan Puri

But he's bored. And he wants a little more scale. He wants a little more – he doesn't feel a sense of progress. People always want a sense of progress. And so –

Chapter 7: How does a wall printer business operate?

97.99 - 117.135 Shaan Puri

He feels like it's pretty hard to scale what he's doing there. He's always poking around at, should I buy this vending machine? Should I do this side hustle, pressure washing, whatever it is. Where does your head go as like, look, if I was trying to help you get off the real estate path and maybe have a more entrepreneurial path, what do you tell him?

117.155 - 139.1 Chris Koerner

I would tell him to start reselling. reselling like Costco liquidation items or government liquidation items. So you spend one, 200 bucks, you get what's called a resale certificate, which tells the government, I don't need to pay sales taxes on this because I'm passing it on. A lot of these websites require that number from you in order to sell you liquidation items.

139.68 - 158.49 Chris Koerner

There's a website called GovDeals. There's a website called B-Stock. On B-Stock, you buy anything that people return to Costco. I've done this myself, another business I've done. I bought $7,000 worth of washers and dryers for $250 each on average, and I'm selling them on Facebook Marketplace for $750 to $900 each.

158.555 - 165.738 Chris Koerner

It's an amazing business because you don't need a warehouse, you don't need a bunch of space, just a garage, and it's all sold on Facebook Marketplace.

Chapter 8: What are the opportunities in RV rentals?

166.119 - 192.325 Shaan Puri

I'm on B-Stock right now, and I see that I can buy two pallets of men's gray champion sweatpants, joggers, for $48,000 in New Jersey. Sounds great. I'm going to get 1,200 units. What's the price of this? $48,000. I get 1,200 units. $40? That's not even a deal. What's going on? Oh, wait, wait. Oh, no. That's the retail value. Yeah, okay. That makes more sense. I can buy this for $7,000.

0

192.345 - 205.548 Shaan Puri

So I can buy it for $5 a pop. And it's saying that the standard retail value of this would be $40 a pop. And so you're saying you're going to go buy... You probably wouldn't buy sweatpants, my guess. But what would you be looking for product category-wise?

206.028 - 225.284 Chris Koerner

I like large appliances and outdoor furniture. I think those are both great, especially this time of year. Not electronics, because there's a lot of variables. Back to binary outcomes, there's a lot of things that can break. There's a lot of testing involved. I don't really like clothing personally, but... This is a great business because you don't need to find customers.

225.825 - 234.757 Chris Koerner

You just list them on Facebook Marketplace. All your customers are there. You have to buy right and you have to fulfill, but the harder part is finding customers and you don't have to do that here.

234.898 - 258.129 Shaan Puri

So I'm looking at, I get 58 used refrigerators. I'm buying them for $34 a unit. $34 a unit for a refrigerator. I'm telling you. What's going on here? I might do this. I might actually go do this just on sheer principle, a $34 fridge. I have to buy 58 of them though. And then, you know, you go to Facebook marketplace and you go look at what the fridges are selling for.

258.209 - 261.154 Shaan Puri

You look at the volume and you look at how much the price one is. So you're trying to find.

261.174 - 262.195 Chris Koerner

And you do that before you buy them.

262.295 - 276.582 Shaan Puri

Of course. Before I buy, I'm going to go check out. And you're looking for probably two signals. One is a price signal. So what is the going rate for these things? And then how do you get a sense of, is this going to move? You watch it for a week and you see if they move. You message the seller. What do you do?

277.244 - 279.629 Chris Koerner

You literally list it before you even bid on it.
