James Helferstay - Invidious

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

This is why I try to save things others will not...

Oh my goodness! I used to look for this album every week for decades and never found a copy. I had all but given up. I just randomly did a search again today and couldn't believe I found this. My dad is the bass singer and i can't wait to share this with my brother! We lost pop 11 tears ago this weekend, but this is so special to find on ebay. Please pack carefully and thank you time a million for finding and listing this online! Warmest regards, Nate

Tip of the day...

If you are going to go into a store and steal a boxcutter, bring a boxcutter. I didn't and had to just buy it! 🤣

Gonna start my jogging tonight...
Leave PeeWee here and walk him when I get done for my cool down. Now I just need to buy some headphones for my iphone so I can get lost in the music.

Trying to find purpose, focus...

and motivation has been a struggle, even for something "selfish". I've just been rebuilding small and slowly expanding in hopes to find dreams again.

I do feel everyday has gotten me closer, even finding something shallow doesn't seem to stick for me as well as it did in the younger days.

I'm at least not giving up, coming out of taking care of others for over a decade has made it harder to find some selfishness in me.

I know it's in me, I'm James damnit! I used to be one of the most selfish people. 🤣 I just need a little back to get me rolling. I just don't feel as important as I used to think I was.

Life on...

It seems Courtney's death is hitting me harder than I thought so I'm going to take a break from social media until I feel better. For 13 years, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week she was right there. I thought I was handling it okay but that seems to not be the case.

I'll be back...
