The itsWorthIt story
A Facebook Marketplace hobby that became an eBay store, then a wholesale operation, then a second business that operates Deal Hunter.

It started with spotting a good deal
It started with Facebook Marketplace and a fascination with arbitrage: the instinct for spotting a good deal before anyone else did. It turned into a business once I recognized what I could offer collectors: quality product, fair prices, and service people could trust.
itsWorthIt has been selling video games and collectibles since March 2024. I earned eBay’s Top Rated Seller status earlier on, though I don’t hold the badge today. What kept me in it was less the games and more the logistics: planning, problem-solving, and building a process that mixed a personal touch with something repeatable.

itsWorthIt Solutions is a second sole proprietorship, registered separately from itsWorthIt, that I ran as my UBC entrepreneurship co-op in 2025. Half of that term was reselling operations; the other half was technical automation and consulting work on the systems behind it, including a wholesale pricing platform and eBay integrations.
Today it is the operator of Deal Hunter: ITSWORTHIT SOLUTIONS is the name on the Terms and the Privacy Policy. The eBay store and the Marketplace selling stay with itsWorthIt.

Why Deal Hunter exists
Finding stock meant scrolling Marketplace for hours, and a good listing is usually gone within hours. I can’t be looking at 11pm every Tuesday. An agent can. Deal Hunter packages the approach I use to source itsWorthIt’s stock so you can run it too.
