How’s it going everyone, I hope great! I’ve been busy today working on our Etsy store, adding new stuff, etc… We have lots of ideas/plans for this store as Spring continues and Summer approaches, fun stuff!  Etsy along with eBay and our now TWO instead of three co-op booths will be keeping us busy all year, and we plan on setting up as a vendor at Flea Markets as well. Going to be a busy, busy year and I love it!

We’re not too far now from April 1st next Monday (not to mention Easter THIS SUNDAY!) and the relaunch of both our shops.  “OUP Thrift & Vintage @ Roller Mills Antiques” and “Brent’s Advertising & Collectibles @ Big Valley Antiques.” Very fun, busy times! Can’t wait to share some of the other things I’ve been working on with you guys as well, working on getting a lot of content to my liking then I’ll be sharing. Thanks for hanging along for the ride!

FRESHPICKEDTHURSDAYS_alldaythursday

Here it is Wednesday already!!! Just got back from having lunch & shopping a bit with my girlfriend, and also making our daily Post Office trip… TOMORROW don’t forget to follow along @oup on Twitter (http://twitter.com/oup) for this week’s #FreshPickedThursdays!

The plan for tomorrow is to work mainly in my booth down in Lewisburg at Roller Mills Antiques, which beginning in April will be relaunched as “OUP Thrift & Vintage!” HOPEFULLY SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!

Sunshine, Carwash, & WEEKEND OF HUSTLE!


BrandiAtCarWashHello everyone, hope you are having a great weekend!

Today I am in the office listing some new items in eBay, and getting ready for this week where I’ll be doing much more the same there, as well as Etsy & Amazon. Speaking of Amazon, last night I put up 50 items (the biggest effort I’ve put into learning the ways of Amazon so far) and made my first sale! Excited to expand the page, especially now that it’s ALMOST officially Spring!

I am just about to package up a few items for shipment tomorrow, before relaxing a bit this afternoon (if I get around to doing that!).  It’s a beautiful day outside here in Central PA, and was much the same yesterday.  Me and my girlfriend Brandi decided to go get a car wash and detail yesterday, and you can see her giving the big “thumbs up” in the picture included in this post.  Spring is almost here, Yard Sales & Flea Markets are about to pick up, days are now “longer” now that Daylight Savings Time has passed, what more could you ask for?!?

It’s going to be a busy month as I continue working on closing down my one Antique Mall booth, and relaunching/expanding my other two. Tons of other projects going on as well…. LIFE IS GREAT! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll check back tomorrow with something new RIGHT HERE on BrentOtt.com!

Busy Day Working In The Office & Around House!


What’s going on guys?!?

095Just wanted to drop in quick and give you an update.  I spent the day today working on cleaning and organizing my office, and setting things up to begin filming new segments this week in front of my green screen.  I have tons of stuff in my house that I’ve acquired from auctions and everywhere else throughout the last several years.  Working on getting that all sorted through, some of it listed online, and some of it tagged for my booths.  I’m sure I’ll be storing a lot of it for the future as well.

I will actually be working in one of my booths tomorrow with my girlfriend, and also shooting some footage throughout the day.  Looking forward to this Monday night and getting back to some good old “Trash Talk & Treasures” fun.  Fun few guests stopping by this week!

I’ll have more on all that soon.

For now I’ll leave you with some behind-the-scenes shots I shot today with my new camera. Now it’s back to toying 090with my camera/editing software a bit, learning some things, tagging a few more boxes of treasure, and eventually cooking some pork, potatoes, and veggies for dinner!

“Trash Talk & Treasures” Second Helping Minisode! (ft. Panz & Resale Renegade!)


Something new! I hope you guys all enjoy!

Don’t forget to TUNE IN to “Trash Talk & Treasures with Brent & Wally” LIVE EVERY MONDAY NIGHT beginning at 7:30 PM EST/6:30 PM CT!

GREAT DAY In The Co-Ops!


What’s happening everyone?  First off hope that you are all doing well.  I spent the day working in two of my co-op booths/antique mall booths.  I worked on my booth at Big Valley Antiques in Milroy, PA as well as my booth at Plaza Centre Antiques in Bellefonte, PA.  Took in some fresh merchandise, switched some things between the booths, and changed things around in general.  Always leads to a nice little bump in sales when I spend the day doing just that.

Within the next few days/week I need to get into my final booth, at Roller Mills Antiques in Lewisburg, PA, and do a nice little “fresh up” there as well.  I’m also looking to get some new shelves/display cases into all three locations within the coming weeks and months.  2013 is another year of growth!

ROLLERMILLSadTonight I’m going to spend relaxing with the girlfriend, AND getting a little bit of office work accomplished (as I can without getting in trouble!).  Tomorrow is going to be a HUGE office day for me.  Lots of email to respond to/send, tagging to get done, photographs to take, listing to hopefully accomplish, consultations to participate in, and get ready to be out BUYING strong this weekend!!!!!

If I don’t get into Roller Mills beforehand, next Thursday (my regular co-op day) will be kicking off with a Roller Mills trip to unload fresh finds & refresh the booth!  I love what I do!

Oh, and have I mentioned that I’m getting a new camera this weekend? THIS is going to be fun!

In The Trenches And Feeling Oh So Good!


Throughout my life I’ve always faced challenges head on.  I’ve always faced adversities head on.  Not once have I taken the easy way out, or backed down from anything. As a matter of fact, I thrive off the stress and uncertainty that a challenge of any sort brings.

Right now I am finding myself laughing on both the inside and out for a variety of reasons, about a variety of different things.  None of these things even deserve further comment.  As for all these “things,” I would like to simply thank everyone who has been in touch with me.  Everyone who has showed support through Email, YouTube messages, Facebook messages, everywhere.  Bottom line is that there’s nothing going on “around here” other than business as usual!

cannabisI’m going to keep being myself, keep getting money, and keep growing.  It’s funny, I don’t think you ever quite KNOW where you are going without uncertainty, or know that you can’t fail, until you hit a point of rock bottom within your life.  For me I hit that point back in 2004 with a marijuana case, which I don’t speak on too often.  I stand firmly behind the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana, and always will.  Perhaps it’s something I will get into further in a coming post.  It’s because of that point of hitting bottom that I am the man who I am today, why I have the goals I do, why I’ve arrived at the point I am at today, and why I truly KNOW for a fact that I have more hustle in my left nut than most of these other guys have in their entire bodies.

Someone pointed out to me recently that I don’t have to say anything, I literally have “binders” of credibility, which I thought was a very valuable point.  I’m not hiding behind anything, as is evident with my Internet presence from the last few years.

With these next few coming days comes a lot for me.  I’ll be heading out to another auction (or two!), getting in to work on the co-op booths, doing some eBay & Etsy listing, and filming/work for my upcoming “Project X” show/podcast.  It looks as though I’ll actually be picking up a new camera this weekend as well, which is super exciting!  Always fun to get to play around with new technology.  One thing that is on the back of my head right now is this year’s OUP Photography Tour, which I am always excited about.  As of right now I don’t have all the details, but it’s always a blast.  Last year the OUP Photography Tour took me to St. Louis, Nashville, Cincinnati, all over the place, and I’m sure this year will be much the same.

In addition to all these and other things, “Trash Talk & Treasures” is in the process of getting better and better.  I’ll be working out the details with some good people, but rest assured that the often imitated, NEVER duplicated fun that is TTT won’t be going anywhere, ANYTIME soon.  As I said we’ll just be getting better!  I’m not going to give anything away just yet but you can count on learning a lot more, and getting a lot more out of TTT in the future.  I’m seeing a lot of bullshit out there, which is expected, but not something I’m proud to say I stand behind.

I’m really starting to enjoy doing these posts here on BrentOtt.com more and more, and I’m very appreciative that you guys have enjoyed reading them.  I appreciate all the comments, views, and of course all the viewers who have in turn checked out my other projects/sites/blogs, etc… As always, if there is ANYTHING I can help you with or anything you would like to get ahold of me for simply email brent@ounitproductions.com

Thanks guys, and I’ll check back in soon!

Welcome 2013! Beginning Today NEW BLOG EVERY DAY of the YEAR! Also an Announcement!


It’s now OFFICIALLY 2013! I thank you for checking out BrentOtt.com today and I wanted to announce a few new & special things I am doing this year. First off, EACH AND EVERY DAY of the year I’ll be posting AT LEAST one new blog entry per day right here on this blog! Some of these will be in-depth posts regarding a variety of business ideas, etc, some will be EXCLUSIVE video content, sometime it may be just an exclusive photograph or even a re-post of an Instagram shot, you name it. On certain days I’ll simply post more funny or inspiring content. In 2013 you just never know what you may see here on BrentOtt.com!

As of today I also want to announce for the first time something I’m pretty excited about. Beginning in 2013 I’m going to begin doing one-on-one consultations with certain people.  I’m in constant contact with  people who would love to really “pick my brain” a bit more, and get some of the tips and tidbits I have in regards to building a successful online business, buying and selling antiques & junk, Social Media, building and maintaining a website, you name it.

Through my “Trash Talk & Treasures” show, my main website OUnitProductions.com, my YouTube Channel in general, and all over Social Media I’ve been able to build a very profitable Internet presence, which I’d love to be able to help people reach for who desire to do so.  I give out a lot of valuable FREE tips & tidbits but I’m not “Boo Boo Da Fool,” I never give out everything. Beginning this year I want to teach more, and share more, and the best way for me to be able to do this and truly go FULL FORCE will be these one-one-one consultations.

These won’t be starting up for a few months, but if you are interested I want to give you the option to sign up early because I’m sure the slots will fill up fast. With running my businesses I’ve only got so much “free time” to go around, as I’m sure you can imagine.  I’ve already been approached as I said about these, which is really where this is all coming from. So here’s the deal, you’ll be able to either book a simple, one-time consultation, or if you really want to go hard I’ll be offering a 10 hour course.  We’ll begin with going over your background, where you want to be, your dreams, your goals, and I’ll help to customize a unique business plan for each client who sets up a consultation or takes the course.  We’ll go over setting up your site, promoting it via Social Media, tips on what TO BUY & what NOT TO BUY to resell, selling outlets you NEED to be using, what’s coming out this year, TONS of inside information you’ll be getting or hearing NOWHERE else!

google-plus-hangouts

These will be done via PRIVATE Google Hangouts. The one-time ONE HOUR CONSULTATION will be $100, and the 10-hour spread out course will be $750.  I promise you guys there’s going to be some killer stuff thrown into both the consultation and the course so I’m looking forward to getting in contact with you guys to set something up! Another cool thing is these will be completely customizable based on where you are in the business, your goals, etc…

Simply email brent@ounitproductions.com for more details and we’ll MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Besides these fun consultations and courses 2013 is going to be FILLED with fun stuff happening in my business life.  “Trash Talk & Treasures” will continue to grow and airs EACH AND EVERY Monday & Tuesday night at 7:30 PM EST on YouTube, “Project X” will be launching on YouTube in 2013, and another little thing brewing on the back burner is a book which will HOPEFULLY be dropping as early as the END of 2013!

My eBay & Etsy presence will increase in 2013, all three of my co-op booths will continue, I truly believe 2013 is going to be a groundbreaking year on many levels!!!!

Fun times lie ahead!

HAPPY NEW YEAR and STAY TUNED right here to BrentOtt.com for TONS of excitement and exclusive content!

“Trash Talk & Treasures” Second Helping LIVE 10th Episode with Glendon Cameron!!!


This is one of my FAVORITE pieces of “Trash Talk & Treasures” content which has yet to be produced… I hope you all enjoy!!!!!

I Hope You ALL Are Enjoying/Enjoy The Halloween/Thanksgiving Seasons!


It’s that time of the year. Yes, pumpkins, pumpkin pie & lattes, pumpkin donuts, apple cider donuts, pigging out at Thanksgiving dinner, carving a pumpkin, you name it. Let’s not forget eggnog! For me it’s eggnog and Jack Daniels or Southern Comfort!  Both Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner, and I hope you are all enjoying the experiences!

I need to get out hopefully this weekend and get a pumpkin, and hopefully attend HersheyPark In The Dark in Hershey, PA.  I was supposed to last weekend, but my girlfriend has been having some problems with her leg.  Nonetheless, we’ll attempt to give this another shot on Sunday!

Sorry that I havn’t been around here on BrentOtt.com too much recently, besides running the retail end of my business, I’ve been busy on Mondays & Tuesdays over on YouTube putting out “Trash Talk & Treasures” episodes.  If you’re not aware of it, check it out!  On Monday we are LIVE from 7:30 PM EST until 9:30 PM EST with two seperate shows, with the one beginning at 8:30 PM EST being more themed for mature audiences.

On Tuesdays we are LIVE beginning at 7:30 PM EST as well, and go for one hour, with a different format each week.  You can check it all out below:

http://www.youtube.com/ounitproductions

Besides “Trash Talk,” which is honestly my favorite two days of the week at this point, and my retail businesses I’ve been busy working on a few secret projects that will be coming out shortly, at various points both before the end of the year and in 2013.  I thank you all for reading this Blog, and I’ll be back with some inspiring/motivating/AWESOME content soon!

Thanks again!
