Shownotes: 

Got a great question from Flipping Ninja Blueprint Student Michael R.

Michael asks:

“Quick question. When you buy things from thrifts stores, etc, and then turn around and resell them to someone what do you say when they ask how long you’ve had the item? Do you tell them you’re a reseller and haven’t had the item long? A lot of people assume that I’m the original owner of an item and want to know how long I’ve had it.
