If you were there the day I found 13 pairs of smartwool socks, all separate and scattered around in a bin, sorry but there was no way I was sharing that bin.
J/K – kind of. I made it very obvious that I was looking for something in that bin and luckily no one else was too interested since it was mostly full of old socks and other undergarments.
Ugh! I’m waiting to block someone right now.
I got a lowball offer on something that had been sitting for a while and decided to accept. Immediately I get messages:
Does it come with ___? Nope, it’s only ___ as described in the listing.
Why is the shipping so high? I ship by weight and the ___ weighs over 1 lb.Then I look at his feedback left for others. Line after line of negative feedback for others. It’s been a couple of days so I assume he isn’t going to pay for his item and once the unpaid item case is closed I intend to block him.
I wonder why yours got Veroed when there are 64 other sets listed. I would call and ask what’s going on.
When I search for clothes, I look at brand first, is it interesting, and then condition (how washed, any holes, stains).
99% of the clothes I see are Walmart, Target, or Kohls brands. Learn to recognize those brands and immediately ignore them (unless it’s super interesting and/or has tags and you can get it for <$1).
Then start looking up every label you come across (that is not one of the ones you learned to ignore). It takes a really long time at first because you will be shocked at how many clothing labels exist. After a while it gets quicker but there’s a pretty big learning curve.
If you can stand them, watch (or mostly listen) to youtubers who do what sold videos. There are tons of them out there so you are bound to find a couple that interest you.– go through all of my old listings to update pictures and item specifics. Possibly redonate any bad buys.
– hire a photographer
– save enough money to pay for a trip to Antarctica in 2020. I have a friend who is a big traveler and Antarctica is her final continent. We are old enough friends that I could basically invite myself along on her trip.Mark S – check out this video, around the 8 minute mark she talks about her strategy for hiring photographers. This may be an easier method.
I talk to people when I’m at the goodwill bins. I assume at least half of us are picking stuff to resell because I see a lot of the same people over and over again. The same sales people are there all the time and I’m sure they recognize most of us, heck, one guy even straight up asked if I was reselling. Why do you think I’m here on half price night buying 112 lbs of random stuff?
I had no idea they made Richard Scarry playsets! I would have LOVED those as a child.
I’ve tried hanging curtains in windows for pictures and they didn’t come out great. I had to be too far away in order to get the whole curtain in the frame and then the sun started shining through the window. It’s nice in real life but a total disaster for pictures.
