Reseller Tea

A Whiny, Unfocused Rant

Dontae kicks off by warning fans of Rally Roots and “Harry Tornado” (who he later calls Josh) to skip the video, then spends 20 minutes airing grievances like he’s auditioning for a soap opera. His setup’s fine, but his delivery is a chaotic mess—jumping from gratitude for reselling to vague accusations of scam artists and backstabbing. He claims reselling got him debt-free in a year and a half and supports his son, but the video’s less about his success and more about settling scores. If you’re gonna throw punches, Dontae, at least aim straight. This scattershot rant feels like a therapy session gone public.

Crying Over Broken Promises

Dontae’s big beef is with a nameless group of resellers who promised him an Apple computer when he was starting out, fresh from prison, filming shaky phone videos. It never arrived, and when he called it out, they made him “look like the bad guy.” Boo-hoo. Welcome to the real world, where people flake. He admits he’s forgiving and let it go, so why’s he still whining about it? Then there’s “Harry Tornado” (Josh), who gave him a GoPro at a Goodwill—admittedly a kind gesture—but made promises he didn’t keep, like mentoring or answering DMs. Dontae felt like a “burden” when Josh gave short replies or acted cold in person. Harsh truth: nobody owes you their time, especially not big-name resellers. Stop acting like a free GoPro comes with a lifelong friendship. Jab: If you’re banking on handouts and mentorship from strangers, you’re not a reseller—you’re a dreamer.

Clickbait and Comment Section Drama

Dontae’s got beef with Rally Roots, too, for clapping back when he called one of their videos “clickbaitish” in their comments. He was a small-time YouTuber (maybe still “UNCC fan 1015”) and got offended when they told him, “Don’t watch us, we don’t care.” Rude? Sure. But resellers aren’t your babysitter, Dontae. Comment sections aren’t safe spaces, and calling out clickbait publicly is asking for a response. He hints they judged him for his “Prison2Profits” name or ex-con status, but offers no proof—just feelings. If you’re gonna sling accusations, bring receipts, not vibes. Jab: Throwing shade in someone’s comments and crying when they bite back? Grow thicker skin or stay out of the ring.

The “Stolen” Convention Idea

The juiciest gripe is Dontae claiming Josh stole his idea for an educational reseller event. He pitched a “Prison to Profit” convention to Josh, who said he wasn’t comfortable getting paid to speak. A year later, Josh’s speaking at another event—for money. Dontae’s livid, acting like his idea was swiped. Newsflash: reseller conventions aren’t exactly groundbreaking. Educational events with games and giveaways? Been done. Josh didn’t steal your brainchild; he just did what resellers do—hustle for opportunities. Dontae’s own convention happened, and he admits attendees got their money’s worth with food and prizes, so why’s he still bitter? Jab: If you think your vague event pitch is proprietary, you’re not cut out for this game.

Cliques and Name-Dropping

Dontae’s obsessed with reseller “gangs” and cliques, naming Shed Flips, Matt Flips, and a Delaware guy who did a podcast with “Tracy.” He’s mad Shed Flips called him “Darnell” or some “commonly used Black name” at a Cincinnati Pickers rally, implying racism without evidence. He also drags Kevin (Commonwealth Picker) for ditching him to hang with “Kayla and them,” only to crawl back when they “treated him like crap.” The reseller community’s “petty,” he says, with grown adults picking sides like high schoolers. He’s not wrong—cliques exist—but his constant name-dropping and vague accusations make him sound like the pettiest of all. If everyone’s fake, maybe check the mirror. Jab: Whining about cliques while airing everyone’s dirty laundry? You’re not exposing the community—you’re just adding to the drama.

The “I’m the Best” Flex

Dontae brags he’s a better reseller than the big names, claiming he’s out-thrifted Cincinnati Picker, Commonwealth Picker, and others in head-to-head challenges. He dares anyone to compete, saying, “Give me and somebody the same amount of money, we go to the same store, you’re not going to outthrift me.” Bold, but where’s the proof? He says there’s videos, but doesn’t link them. He also claims he refused to share his eBay store link for years to “help people learn” instead of selling to subscribers. Noble, maybe, but it sounds like a convenient excuse for a store that’s probably as lackluster as his content. If you’re the king of thrifting, show us the receipts, not just your ego. Jab: Talking a big game about out-thrifting everyone while peddling sob stories? Prove it or pipe down.

The Ugly Truth

Dontae’s not entirely wrong—reselling has its share of fakes and cliques. His story of going debt-free and providing for his son through reselling is legit, and the GoPro moment with Josh was a real win. But this video’s a self-inflicted wound. He’s not exposing the community; he’s exposing his own grudges and inability to move on. Reselling’s tough, and people let you down—welcome to life. Instead of focusing on his hustle, he’s stuck in the past, calling out “fake YouTubers” like Philly Flipper for crying about low views. Pot, meet kettle. Resellers, don’t get suckered by Dontae’s victim act—focus on your own grind and skip the drama. Dontae, if you’re as good as you say, let your flips do the talking, not your grudges.

Final Verdict

“Prison2Profits - Ex-Con Now Plays the Victim?” is a bitter, unfocused rant that proves Dontae’s more interested in settling scores than building his brand. His accusations of broken promises and cliquey resellers fall flat without solid evidence, and his “I’m the best” flex feels like overcompensation.

Dontae, drop the victim card, stop whining about Josh and Kevin, and focus on out-thrifting the game like you claim you can. Booger out.

# Reseller Tea Exclusive: Commonwealth’s “1800 Items And This Is What I Get” Video Torn to Shreds – Booger’s Bitter Review

A Shoddy, Unprofessional Setup

Kevin starts his video in a dark room, scrambling to plug in a light because it’s “too dark back here.” You’re filming for thousands of viewers, and you can’t set up a decent shot? Dogs are begging for treats, his kid might burst in, and he’s turning off the AC mid-video because he’s sweating. It’s a disorganized disaster that screams amateur. If you’re running a business with 1,800 listings, act like it and get your setup straight before you hit record.

Sales Tank and He’s Clueless

The video’s core is Kevin’s breakdown over a single $18.95 knee pad sale (plus shipping) in a day. One sale, with 1,800 items listed. He later admits to three sales, but two were canceled—buyers “changed their mind” or “bought by mistake.” That’s not just bad luck; it’s a sign your listings are either overpriced or poorly described. Then there’s the two CD returns, both “changed my mind.” Kevin’s baffled, wondering if buyers are burning CDs and sending them back. Maybe your CDs are trash, or your listings are vague. Stop pointing fingers at buyers and clean up your act. Jab: With 1,800 items, one sale a day isn’t a glitch—it’s a sign your strategy’s a failure.

Forgetting His Own Damn Plan

The real knife-twist is Kevin admitting his store crashed because he forgot to renew his 30% off sale for items sitting over 225 days. For seven days. You’ve got 1,800 listings, and you didn’t notice your main sales tactic was off? That’s not a slip-up; it’s gross incompetence. He says a third of his 17 sales post-drought came from restarting the sale, like a $17.46 Iowa Hawkeyes 1982 Rose Bowl hat (bought for $1—solid flip, I’ll admit). But forgetting your own promotion because you were “in Florida”? Weak. Jab: If you’re too busy gallivanting to manage your store, don’t whine when it tanks.

Flips That Barely Break Even

Kevin’s flips are a sad mix, and most are straight-up depressing. A $17.95 John Deere Erdle tractor with a bend? Snooze. A $30 Hello Kitty watch bought for $10? Hardly worth the hassle. The $39.95 Aerosmith tour shirt from a garage rafter for $10 is a rare win, but then he’s pushing a $24.95 Lutheran Study Bible he paid $5 for (after refusing it for free—pointless) and a $13.96 Enron T-shirt. Enron? Who’s buying that crap? The $15.95 Care Bear cousin and $9.99 candle warmer are thrift store rejects that make you question his judgment. The Hawkeyes hat is a gem, but it’s buried in a pile of low-rent flips that scream desperation. Jab: If your best flips are barely clearing $20 profit, stop digging through garage sale garbage.

Excuses and Viewer Bootlicking

Kevin’s constantly pandering to his viewers—Carolyn, Rodney, Kathy Ann—like he’s begging for pity buys. He brags about a $63 V Friends hoodie and sweatpants he got “for free” with Whatnot credit. Nice for him, while the rest of us are battling scalpers for inventory. He blames slow sales on eBay, canceled orders on buyers, and a $11 FedEx upcharge on a package he mismeasured by four inches. Measure right, Kevin. His “even if, especially when” speech about pushing through tough days feels empty when he’s admitting to neglecting eBay for side gigs like dipiccards.com. Pick a lane and stick to it.

The Brutal Reality

Kevin’s not a total lost cause—he’s got 1,800 items listed and pulled $2,700 in sales over seven days on another platform. That $1-to-$17.46 hat flip shows he can spot a deal occasionally. But this video is a lesson in self-sabotage. Forgetting your sales strategy, listing junk like Enron shirts, and crying about canceled orders while chasing YouTube fame? That’s not hustle; it’s a half-baked mess. Resellers, don’t copy this guy—keep your store sharp and your listings tighter. Kevin, ditch the sob stories about cats in trees and FedEx fees. Manage your promotions, source better inventory, and maybe you’ll have something worth filming.

Final Verdict

“1800 Items And This Is What I Get” is a stark reminder that a huge inventory means nothing if you’re botching the basics. Kevin’s excuses, lackluster flips, and failure to manage his store make this video a tough watch.

Kevin, skip the whining, fix your listings, and turn on the damn sale before you hit record. Booger out.
