Podunk Picker’s Reselling Origin Story: Auctions, Curb Finds, and Selling “Junk” for ProfitIn this Pocket Change episode, the host fills in for absent co-host Joel with guest Podunk Picker, who shares his backstory and approach to part-time reselling. He explains how he started selling on eBay in the early 2000s, expanded to multiple platforms via cross-listing, and built his “Podunk Picker” name from Podunk Road in Michigan. He discusses focusing on auctions and rusty, unusual items other creators overlook, including selling a broken vintage Homelite chainsaw for about $180 and sourcing a 1960s Firestone boat motor for $15 with plans to part it out. He recounts using eBay and GovDeals/Public Surplus to help municipalities sell surplus items like water meters and equipment for thousands, covers rural sourcing challenges in the Upper Peninsula, and talks shipping strategy, YouTube workflow, and using Gemini to improve listing titles and descriptions.
