Known on this planet as James Helferstay, I started life as a kid with very little, growing up in South St. Louis, where resources were limited but the drive to become something more was always there. That mindset never left me. Since 2001, I’ve built and run a full-time reselling business on eBay from home—learning, adapting, and growing through every shift in the market and in life.
This channel is a real, unfiltered look at that journey.
Along the way, I’ve developed a passion for learning new ways of thinking, improving systems, and finding smarter paths to success. And more importantly, I’ve learned that where you start doesn’t have to define where you end up.
Here, you’ll find daily videos sharing my life, my business, and the lessons I’ve picked up over the years—both wins and mistakes. I talk about reselling, mindset, discipline, and the realities of building something from nothing. No fluff, no shortcuts—just honest insight from someone who’s lived it

Finally for a little bit...
Being completely over 12 years of death and stress there was a time I thought it would never end. It become what I thought was the norm.
That was a good chunk of my years on this planet to be in a headspace I never experienced before. Looking back I guess I was lucky to have gone through it while being at my strongest to take it all on. It could have ended for me in a total different way, one where I am not here typing this right now.
It's not that I necessary feel stronger on this side of it, even if I am. It's more about understanding and appreciating who I was my entire life, even the mistakes I learned from (being an ass, etc).
I get to spend the remainder of my life standing taller, happier, more focused and driven to take my enjoyments and bask in the feeling of survival.
We all walk different paths, we all react differently to happenings. Remember that's what makes you, you. Others will love you for your authenticity so make sure to love yourself first and foremost.
Life on...
