Unconventional Entrepreneur

I share tools to live an uncommon life. As a builder and Unconventional Entrepreneur, I’ve spent the last 25 years testing what works and cutting what doesn’t. This newsletter is where I share the real strategies, systems, and revenue streams that have created my uncommon life. If you’re building something of your own, you’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, I’m the auction guy you probably saw on Insta, YouTube or X. You may have downloaded my Auction Starter Guide with the lists of all the auction sites and tips on getting started.

Thanks for being here Reader. Let's get right into it.


Here are the deals that stuck out to me this week!

$3.5K of iPads bid to $330

$8.4K of Recteq Smokers - $700

$7.5K of Sports and Outdoor Gear - $1.6K

$211K of Holiday Décor - $20K

$61K of Pet Supplies bid to $3K

$83K of Bags and Luggage - $3.8K


I don’t recommend consumer electronics, but so many people ask about them that I will feature some auctions here from time to time.

These are being sold by the Veterans Administration. They sell for about $120 in used condition. If you can pick them up for less than $50 each, it would be an interesting experiment.

I love Recteq smokers. Not just because I own one, but because the company has a great reputation and a great product.


To save on shipping, buy from distribution centers near you.


If you’re on the West Coast, deals from Big 5 Sporting Goods are worth checking out.

At 72% off the retail price for brand-new products, this is an interesting opportunity.


Here is my “this is crazy” deal of the week.

$211,347 worth of holiday décor (Christmas in July!) with a make-an-offer price of $20,000.

Can you make money on this deal? It’s all new inventory, and you would have to hold it for a few months. Worth noting that Costco is now selling Halloween costumes!

Do your research and know your market before making bets like this.


We spend over $5 billion a year on pet supplies in this country! Check out this auction from Petco for brand-new pet supplies. $60,989 bis to $2,925.


It’s almost back-to-school time. Target is blowing out 6,047 units of new backpacks, luggage, and more.

$82,772 just sold for $3,875.

I swear this is true.


I’ll be doing a deep dive into these auctions and more on my YouTube channel.

I have a lot to say about these opportunities along with some deals that you should run away from.

Subscribe so you don’t miss the chat. There’s a lot of nuance and details that I’m looking forward to sharing with you. 👇

Cheers to your success!
