Thanks, MDC, for the interesting info on auctions. I’ve not had the pleasure yet, and I’m on the Death Pile Challenge, so won’t for a while, but I will save this info for when I do.
Can’t wait!
I have best offer on everything. From the comments on the podcasts and posts, I learned to turn on the auto decline feature so that I didn’t get all worked up about the lowball offers. The auto decline is either set to the lowest amount I’ll feel comfortable accepting, or a default of 50% if I don’t really care. On items where I think that it’s a long shot to even sell the item, I’ve taken off the auto decline and just left it open to any offer. It has worked surprisingly well for me. A large proportion of my sales are best offer and generally I’m quite happy with the offers.
Tbh, I don’t know the place. I only found out about it recently and wondered if it was worth investigating. I was told you can phone in and order a “bale”, which is a huge square of wrapped clothes that is tossed into the back of your pickup for you to sort through later.
New pledge from me, a little late to the party. I have a 8′ x 16′ shed, a spare bedroom, one entire wall of the garage, and multiple bins hidden under benches and tables in said garage all waiting to be listed. In my store, only 100 items listed. And in the house, one VERY annoyed husband.
I’m DEFINITELY in! 😀
ROFL!
This is how they get rid of smells when there’s a rotting dead body in a house.
Oh, dear lord, how do you know this stuff??? 😉
Thanks, Jay.
Hi Tom, from another Texan.
I’ve just heard about the wholesale clothes sales in the Valley, where you can buy clothes in huge bales, sort of “by the ton.” Have you heard of this? Tried it?
Speaking of smells, does anyone have a solution for cigarette smoke? I bought a lovely leather suitcase set, stuck it in the car and drove to an errand, leaving it in the car for about 2 hours. The hour and a half drive home afterwards was torture, with all the car windows open wide in the cold! The set has spent the past six weeks in the carport, under cover but with “fresh air” and still reeks. The car is also driving me to tears (excuse the pun!)
I tried coffee grounds too, but they didn’t help either.
One of the positives about being a newbie is that you may have recently investigated something while you were learning the system and can give info on it. So nice to give back! LOL
Gallery Plus does exist, but perhaps so few people know about it that nobody ever uses it?
You will find eBay’s explanation of Gallery Plus here http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/gallery-upgrade.html and they considerately provide an example here http://pages.ebay.com/sell/galleryplus-landingpage/
I noticed almost everything listed in the Disney category has that enlarging symbol, but nothing under grommet curtains (personal research.)
Now, in some categories, Gallery Plus is free and eBay is kind enough to check those options for you when listing in those categories … BUT… when you move to a new category that does not have a free Plus upgrade, the check button remains checked. You need to pay attention to that button every time you list. Not only that, if you missed one and it went through checked, it will charge again every time it renews on GTC. Such fun! (According to the eBay Community, for Jay’s source requirement. Multiple posts on it.)
As it is a “valid” listing upgrade, eBay is quite happy to take your money and is not likely to change it. Caveat emptor. 😉
