Most of the listed items have had huge price reductions lately to move it out.
I can also email a spreadsheet with most of our current inventory, what we paid for it, where we got it, when we bought it. It has over 1200 items. Our total cost for the spreadsheet items is right at $4900. And NO, I don’t expect to get that for the inventory.
We also have a medium rack of clothing & quite a few items we bought at auction in “lots” that never got added to inventory or listed.
We have most of this stored in half of our shop with some climate control. The warehouse area is 15’x40′
Why getting out? We’re preparing to move from 5 acres, a 2400 sq ft house, with a 30×40 shop (half is online warehouse) – to a 600 sq foot home on practically no land in an RV Park near the Smoky Mountains. We’re completely retired and just want to get our economic thumbprint very small so we can travel a lot & be grandparents.
Once you look at the spreadsheet, we can talk about a buyout possibility. We’d really like to help someone – otherwise most of this will be given back to local thrift shops & some to Habitat Store.
The Commercial clothing racks, and warehouse shelving would be a whole ‘nother matter. I can send pictures if you’d like to see them.

It’s over 300 yards from the road to my package storage bin by our side porch AND my driveway is an uphill washed out gravel adventure. Our folks drive up it all the time for pickups and deliveries. We’re 12 miles out of town. There are a lot of long driveways out here.
We have this:
Lowes-Outdoor Storage Bin (Shed)We store our shirts in clear self-sealing poly bags. We drop that into an eBay poly mailer with the packing sheet, stick on a label and off it goes. We’ve sold and shipped hundreds of shirts that way and have never had one damaged.
TaxJar already exist for monitoring sales tax “expected” for ecommerce sales to individual states. Registering one’s business with each state’s processes, procedures, and “FEES” could be the biggest headache.
Having collected state sales taxes when on Amazon FBA (I had inventory in AZ warehouses in states where I had to collect sales tax), this can be a royal pain. The pain is not the tax collection but getting one’s business set up in the states.
This ruling basically opens the door for all 50 states to require tax collection on items we sell into their states. It will take a while to settle out legally and logistically, but yes, we all need to keep watch for coming change – yet again!I’m using a refurbished MacBook Pro 13inch retina mid-2014
I bought it 3 years ago. It is still running completely like new.
We bought my wife a 2012 MacBook Pro model about a year ago that is also running like new.

If I had $1000 for a computer, I’d buy one of these.
Also bought a copy of 2011 Office for Mac for about $60 on eBay – does absolutely everything I need.
We do – ten letters that represent 0-9. we put it at the bottom of our listing along with a code telling us which bin, drawer, or shelf an item is stored in and the inventory # assigned to that item. It is especially helpful when replying to make offers.
We sold “Sweater #001” in our inventory today! We’ve had it for 3+ years. A gray hooded sweater with reindeer & snowflakes on it…go figure.
Yes – January was slow for us last year too, but things have picked back up a bit the last couple days.
Also- this buyer is harassing you, sending so many emails without letting you respond
Make sure to leave a reply to their feedback on the eBay platform. Say: return accepted & full refund given.
I had one this week that killed my 100%. Buyer left negative feedback saying that the size medium in this brand is too large (Yes, we have very detailed measurements in our listings and tell buyers not to trust size labels) and that he was charged a 20% restocking fee. He left this feedback BEFORE asking to return the item. He returned the item. I gave full item price refund (no restocking fee charged) but did not give original shipping refund. I asked him to consider changing his feed back. After 2 days he replied that since he was charged the restocking fee his feedback would not change. I replied that the restocking fee was not charged, but that the original shipping was not refunded.
I asked for supervisors at 3 levels of ebay support. Had to wait for call backs. They would not remove the feedback. Since he was not refunded original shipping, they agreed that his negative “buyer experience” had to be honored in the feedback system. I replied to his feedback “Buyer not charged restocking fee. Detailed measurements in item listing.”
So, I sit at 99.7% feedback – life goes on. I sold a coat for $39.95 & a wind shirt for $32.95 after his “negative” experience.
Happy Trails!I had something similar. A buyer realized they needed to change their address – after they purchased the item. I told them to ask to cancel – go and change their address in eBay AND PayPal – then I’d send them the new item ID number.
I told them in the message with the new item number NOT to go through the link in the email – rather, go search for the new item number and purchase. They clicked through the link and purchased the old listing – an item that doesn’t exist. We went around in circles for a few messages and got it all straight.
It had only been a few minutes, so I assumed this would have corrected itself if given more time. I guess now I know that might not be the case.
