200 episode giveaway!!
Rob: What's up, pro flippers? On today's episode, we are celebrating 200 episodes, is what we have done, and super excited for this one.
Rob: Alright guys, today on the episode we are doing a little recap, a little giveaway, a little bit of fun for our 200th episode.
Melissa: This one kind of snuck up on us like it happened really quick.
We actually recorded another podcast and then we're like, wait a minute, we just hit, this is the 200th we have to record something for the 200th podcast. So, so yes. We're excited to celebrate with you. And this has been a journey, like it's been a lot of fun. We talked about doing a podcast for a while and then it was just never a priority, I guess.
Yep. And then we finally jumped in after the Reseller Summit two years ago. And so it was, yeah. So, and now we're here at 200 episodes. That's it.
Rob: And first off, we want to thank you guys. We couldn't have done this without you for sure. So thankful for you guys listening into our rants, our raves, our tips, our tricks, whatever we're trying to give to you guys. Thank you so much for spending time with us. Time is valuable nowadays. We totally get that. We understand that. You guys have chosen to spend time with us, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We greatly appreciate you guys and we will keep going with it because we absolutely have such a blast doing this.
Melissa: Yeah, we love to, you know, bring some interviews. We've done a little bit less interviews. We want to, you know, ramp those up a little bit more again. But we love, you know, going through any problems that people have and issues we can help solve them and helping like go through flips. And different things that we sell.
And that's the one cool thing about, what you do is that you're not just jumping into it and like you've done it and now we're just gonna talk about it, but you're in it still, which is pretty cool because then we can know like, well, what's going on with eBay? Or what's going on with shipping? What's going on with all this stuff?
And we're in it and it affects our business. So we wanna be able to tell you and help you with your business.
Rob: Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. We have so much fun doing it. Guys, I love this business. We've been doing it for years, 20, what? 25, 27 years now. I've been in this, in the trenches doing this. I'll do it the rest of my life as long as I possibly can, just because I enjoy it.
But we also enjoy helping other people grow their business as well. And we stay sharp, like Melissa said, by doing it day in and day out. That's how we stay sharp in this business and we're able to give you guys some great tips that help us navigate our business to hopefully help you do the same thing. So.
Melissa: Yeah. And we do have a couple giveaways we want to celebrate with. So this is probably just gonna be a short, quick episode, but we really do appreciate the time that you spend with us. We, we definitely value it, like you said. And we wanted to do two giveaways. First of the, the first one is we're gonna do another drawing for a hundred dollar gift card.
I feel like we just did this for the hundredth episode, but man, 200 episodes. 200, we got it. So if you leave a quick review on the podcast, that helps us grow and we so appreciate it, and then send us an email at rob@fleamarketflipper.com that you left a review, like with a screenshot of your review.
And we will get you entered in the drawing and we'll do it just this week. So we'll do a quick one.
Rob: Yeah, and if you have enjoyed the podcast, if you're a return listener, please send that review. We'd greatly appreciate it. It helps us grow. We, and yeah, if you don't like it, go away. No, I'm just kidding.
But you guys know if, if it is, if it's beneficial for you guys, if you're getting a lot out of it, we definitely appreciate you guys doing this, week in and week out with us. We couldn't do it without you. We'd love your your view.
Melissa: Yeah, and, and we always love your feedback too. So if you have questions that you'd like us to talk about, we are more than happy to chat about those on the podcast.
If you have people you'd like us to interview, send 'em our way. We would love to interview them and talk about other business models like then what we do. So that's a lot of fun too. And then, okay, so that was, yeah, the hundred dollar gift card giveaway.
Rob: Get in there, get your name in there for the review, and we wanna do that drawing.
Are we doing?
Melissa: We'll do the drawing next week.
Rob: Next week we will do the drawing for the hundred dollar gift card.
And what do we doing? EBay? Amazon? One. Amazon's usually the easiest. It is easy. It's the easiest. Yeah. And you know what? We'll let you guys pick. If you win the drawing, tell us which one you prefer, and we will do that for you guys, because we love you guys so much.
Melissa: We do appreciate you.

You can get it for free if you use the coupon so you only people on the podcast are gonna get this. So if you've listened to the podcast, this is not like anywhere else right now.

Rob: Thank you guys.
Melissa: And thank you a little thank you to help you jumpstart your business, get going. I know a lot of people like to listen and get good ideas, but then sometimes the hard part is taking action.

Rob: It'll be in the show notes. You guys can check it out there. And guys, we, like we said, we're so thankful for you guys.
Melissa: Wait before you sign off. Go ahead. We have a, we do have a lot of fun stuff coming up. So the fall, like when we, we take off for the summer, pretty much we do our road trip, which we still have some more recapping. I think we just did the recap. Yeah. Anyways, we have, some more to do with that. Like we're gonna get all those stuff listed and sold. But when we come back it really helps us to refocus and re, it's like you take a break and then you come back and like, okay, I'm refocused, and then it just energizes us. So we have a lot of fun plans for this fall. We got a couple of challenges and workshops and possibly a summit coming up. So we got a couple things in the fire and, and yeah, so we're excited to share those with you.
And of course, the podcast we're, I know over the summer we were down to about two times a week, and now we're trying to ramp it back up to three times a week. As long as we can get those recorded and yeah. Anything else to add to that?
Rob: No, that's it.
Melissa: So, but you get excited, you get more energized, like when we go away for a little bit and we come back and you're like, I need to get to work.
I need to get, stuff listed.
Rob: It does. Right. It helps me refocus if I take, even if it's just a weekend off and we've done a podcast, I believe about that. Yeah, getting away, refocusing for one or two days, getting to the beach, getting out in nature at a park or something like that. Spending some time with the kids and really just help helping you refocus, come back, energized, ready to go to work.
So, we try to spend the summers with the kids as much as we possibly can. Our kids are still in the next room right now. They're not back at school yet. So, watching tv, that's, but thank God we got out a lot this summer, so we did so, but, yeah, that's one of those things that we try to do is spend as much time as we can with the kids over the summer while they're on school or spring break, sorry, summer break and then get them back to school. And it, yeah, like I said, it energizes us to do that stuff and then come back and really get focused and go to work. So.
Melissa: So hopefully you guys are getting focused for the fall. I don't know, like, not everybody's on the, the schedule of school, like either you don't have kids or you know, you're not a teacher, whatever it is. So that is a little bit different, but still there's something that is re I don't re-energizing or just like refocusing about the fall that, you know, you're not in the summer anymore, you're getting stuff done, let's get to work.
I, when I worked at the gym, that was always the second busiest time, sometimes busier than January. Like January and September were the busiest times because people are like focused again on their goals. What can we accomplish? What can we do? And yeah, so that's awesome. It's exciting. It's so go grab those freebies.
Get your name in the drawing for the hundred dollar gift card and yeah, we will see you guys soon. And appreciate you so much.
Rob: We will see you guys on the next episode.
