When I was younger I was super into videogames and had been playing them really ever since I was in preschool. Over the years I had gone through a couple different consoles and had played lots of different games. After awhile I stopped playing them as much and if I was playing any video games it would only be on newer consoles. One day I was browsing Instagram and saw a video talking about how rare certain videogames were and how they were selling for a lot of money. I didn’t have any of the exact games from the video but they were all from about the same era I had played a lot of video games in. With this in mind, I rummaged through my old videogame collection and actually was able to find some that were going for a solid amount of money on eBay. Knowing this, I looked up a quick tutorial on how to use eBay and started listing my games for sale. After awhile I was able to make a couple hundred dollars selling most of my collection. This all happened when I was sixteen but I still hold the lessons I learned from this experience to this day. The process of finding demand for a product and actually having the drive to go out and sell it are vital in the entrepreneurship process.

It is really interesting how you were able to make the most out of some older video games. I think this relates to the message we have heard a lot in class this year about always be selling. Out of nowhere you saw an opportunity and took it, this goes to show the importance of staying in the loop on what people value. Even at a younger age I’m sure this taught you a little about sales.
