Your move to consignment a couple years ago was such a smart move. It’s nice to have that consistency. Do you ever imagine a time when you just purchase inventory on eBay, but then send it all into consignment?
I think this is basically the direction I’m headed in, and probably close to it being reality as soon as this summer. There are some cards which simply sell better on eBay than COMC, so I doubt it will be all or nothing unless I decide to liquidate all my card inventory, in which case consignment is probably the way to go for the vast majority of it.
My “spring cleaning” over the next few months of all the “other” stuff I’ve accumulated will help me figure all this out. Can I create a system for listing bulk card lots and the other random weird stuff I’ve accumulated which works for me as well as listing a pile of individual cards does? What kind of income would this type of eBay inventory generate? And what will my consignment income look like during the slower spring and summer months?
It feels like a different risk/reward than I’ve ever faced with my reselling business and as soon as I figure out what’s working and what isn’t, I’ll let you know! Can’t wait to hear about life at the new coffee shop over the next few months. Do you have your next project in the works yet?
Congrats Jay and Ryanne on the new shop. I loved seeing the photos, amazing how fast the place has come alive when a week ago it wasn’t open yet and a year ago it was only an idea. I think your eBay experience has prepared you well for these other projects. It is all about building little pipelines to solve problems or creating systems so things run smoothly day to day. You also know what it’s like to change how your business operates, which I think many people are reluctant to do, and you’re careful to avoid burnout. And you don’t assume you know everything. I think that’s a big reason why a lot of small coffee shops/restaurants go out of business so fast. Either they try to do too much or they do things “their way” when it’s not the best/easiest way. Plus a lack of head for numbers in an industry with very thin margins.
I have been thinking about all this recently as I consider the short-time future of my own eBay business. I’m at a point with my consignment card sales where my income has become pretty consistent. I’ve sold over 1,000 cards a month through there every month since October. The specifics change each month because they are always running different promos, but basically I have just used all the tools available to me. I send in a lot of new inventory when they run discounts on submission fees. I slash prices on older inventory. I accept offers. I send certain cards to 7 day auction. Recently I’ve been setting aside a few hundred cards every week for their live auctions, which you can only submit to on Friday at noon until they fill up. So that’s what I do Fridays at noon. I’m not interested in live auctions from a buying perspective. But I can sell through them with just this small change, so I have been experimenting each week to figure out which cards sell well there and which don’t. It is an interesting world! Different than regular auctions or listings for sure. There is always more to learn when you sell online, and being open to new ideas is one way to prevent your business from stagnating.
The interesting thing is that my eBay numbers are no longer very consistent week to week. The week of the 11th, my numbers were amazing. I ran auctions which ended after the Super Bowl and did well with them. Nothing too crazy, but a solid 57 out of 300 auctions sold. Then I returned all the unsold inventory to my store and got a few more sales from that. Am I maximizing every dollar? Am I creating extra work for myself sending things to auction, then back to my store, then back to auction a few weeks later? Who knows! But that’s eBay.
Last week was no auctions, so it was slower, and this week will be even less lucrative since I have much less inventory and I’m going to use up my remaining 228 free collectible auction listings before the 29th. But I’ve gotten comfortable with these cycles. Some days I focus on repricing and auctions and packaging sold auctions. Other days are focused on preparing a big batch of new listings, others on sorting inventory for consignment and getting that prepared to ship to them. This gives me plenty of flexibility to hunt through thousands of auction listings, like I do every week. But I’m starting to sell more and accumulate less.
The downside is that I’ve been stuck around 250 eBay listings for the last month or two. But I still want to run my auctions later this week. This means I will have almost nothing left in my store while the auctions are running, and maybe sub 200 listings after the auctions end and I cull dead/stale/low $$ inventory. So I will have to grind a bit over the next few weeks if I don’t want my eBay sales to drop off a cliff.
My plan is to profit off my own clutter in March and April. I should be able to make 5 or 10 or 20 (or more?) flat rate boxes full of the sub $5 cards which build up over the years with a business like mine. Plus I’ve got a few shelves and boxes full of other weird oddball items (some sports-related, some not) which I like to buy but don’t list quickly (or at all) because the routines I have to sell cards are so simple and lucrative. With anything else, I have to figure out the category. I have to take pictures instead of fire up the scanner. I have to figure out pricing. I have to find or make boxes. It’s a lot!
But I have to remember that I like all of these things. They keep my days interesting and different. I’ve been enjoying those weird one-off sales the most over the last few months. So it feels like it’s the exact right time to do a proper spring cleaning for my business. Then we’ll see what comes next.
2/11/2024 to 2/17/2024
Items sold: 69 (nice) — 15 via best offer, 5 via seller initiated offer, 12 via promoted listings
Gross sales: $3061.65 (up 90% from one year ago)
Net sales: $2038.86 (up 80% from one year ago)
Average sales price: $44.37 (down 28% from one year ago)
Highest price sold (net): $182.25— Steve Nash Panini National Treasures autographed Lakers patch #01/10
Kind of funny that on Super Bowl week, my big sale was a Lakers card. But that’s eBay! I had a $500 BIN on this card, but the offer was in line with Terapeak solds, so I took it. My sale of the week post goes into detail about other high dollar items sold, including a few Chiefs/49ers cards and a Taylor Swift box set.
Lowest price sold (net): $6.25 — KJ Adams Jr autographed 8×10 Kansas Jayhawks photo
I won a bunch of 10 photo lots (all autographed with a PSA certification sticker) like this last February at prices like 10 for $12.50 and 10 for $13.50 and I’ve sold 30 of them in the last year. College basketball season enters March Madness soon, so maybe I should run these at auction every week since demand will drop off after that until next season.
2/18/2024 to 2/24/2024
Items sold: 24 — 13 via best offer, 7 via seller initiated offer, 17 via promoted listings
Promoted listings seems to be really important to the algorithm right now. I’ve seen a consistent trend the last month or two where 60% of my BIN/BO sales are from promoted listings. It correlates strongly with changing my base percentages to 5% (new inventory) and 7.5% (older stuff or stuff I really want to sell).
Think about upping your promoted listing percentages a bit if sales are slow or you just want to sell a bunch of stuff.
Gross sales: $1117.94 (up 40% from one year ago)
Net sales: $699.47 (up 37.5% from one year ago)
Average sales price: $46.58 (down 18% from one year ago)
Highest price sold (net): $120.51— Ha-Seong Kim Panini Three and Two auto tag patch #2/5
This card is a good example of a higher-end ultra-modern card brand, complete with its own branded case. Even if you know nothing about sports at all, you can probably tell this card might be worth a few bucks. Kim is a good player for the San Diego Padres, and Asian players are always popular among baseball and basketball collectors.
I also sold the last big item from my Chicago library sale haul, this Anton Bruckner classical DVD box set for a net of about $82. It would have been a very slow week without those two sales, which is why it’s so important to get these >$50 ASP items listed!
I paid about $50 for this card. I thought I would have to wait until baseball season for it to sell, but if your inventory is desirable, a lot of times it basically sells itself.
Lowest price sold (net): $9.36 — Ronald Acuna Jr. 2023 Topps Chrome MVP buyback card
This card is a good example of the kinds of modern cards which are not worth money, boring base cards with no special features. This card sold for $12 because of Topps MVP buyback program where you can trade in Topps cards of MVP winners Acuna and Shohei Ohtani at participating shops for store credit which most will use to buy boxes of the newest Topps sets. The card companies do a good job of coming up with innovations like this to keep collectors and flippers hooked which keeps the secondary market moving. Prices are not nearly as crazy as they were during the pandemic, but it feels like there are more buying opportunities now, probably because there are more sets and more buyers and sellers. So more opportunities for arbitrage.
@Christine Thanks, this is all great to know. Mexican and Asian are two of my favorites in terms of comfort food. Chilaquiles, huitlacoche, banh mi, tom kha! I am a little spoiled with Philly which is an amazing food city. I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life and probably would have left in the last few years (finances be damned) if there weren’t so many things to love about Philly. It might be time soon, but no matter where I live, I would want to come back to Philly as often as I can.
But sourcing is challenging in a high cost of living area as you noted. Good to know that sourcing during the week is good in Cali. That is already my favorite way to visit new places. Who needs a weekend getaway when you live a scavenger’s life and can take time off at your leisure?
Those are some cool games. Well, I think Monopoly sucks but I know that xyz Monopoly often has value at least. The first game looks neat. At a library sale I went to last year, they had a bunch of small indie card games and other types of board games for like $2 each. I have them sitting on a shelf. Last time I checked prices, they were like $10 each and I really ought to pile them all in a box and make a listing. I don’t know if I can sell a flat rate box of indie games for $100 (or $50?) but it would be fun to find out. Plus I have some old games that I haven’t played in a few years that are probably worth a few bucks. If I do a big spring cleaning this year, that’s the kind of stuff that will make me a few extra bucks with no investment. Win win!
I have never been to Cali. Well one time when I was a kid, but I don’t really remember it. Have you live in California your whole life? What is your favorite area to visit? How about coolest area to source from? I’m a big foodie person and obviously into thrifts, flea markets etc — if I ever make to the west coast (the best coast?), where’s the best place for that kind of stuff?
You want me to make a numbers thread? I’m itching to post my numbers from last week too, the post-Super Bowl auctions were a good chunk of my sales but there were plenty more and I felt like some good lessons learned as well.
I have a General Norman Schwarzkopf Desert Storm card autographed (probably through the mail — that was a big thing in the 90s and early 00s) which I need to get authenticated. Once I do, $30 (all-in including authentication fees) —> $100. Maybe at the next big local show (Philly) in March. I have a little New Year’s resolution to hit at least a few big card shows this year and really try putting in at least a few hours doing the grunt work there. That’s never been my best use of time, but it’s always good to get out there and see what you can find.
There is a pretty sizable market for ultra modern non sports cards, particularly the big pop culture franchises (Marvel, Star Wars, etc). I do well with older stuff like this 1971 Star Trek stamp. That’s my sale (through consignment) and I paid $6 for 2 complete sets of 12 stamps. This is the Enterprise was my high sale at $10.27. I can’t wait until my consignor runs a $0.75/no min fee auction promotion again, these $10 sales can add up quickly.
Its funny but I never really traded cards as a kid! I would go to the local hobby shop with my mom, or a show at the local mall, but I had my collection in binders and boxes and that was it. Eventually I found eBay as a teenager and a few trading platforms, and after a few years break in my dirtbag young adult years, that’s where I’ve been since 2009!!! 21K items sold. What a life
I am the card guy on the forums. It is my full-time business. I’m sorry to let you know that these aren’t worth anything at all. They’re from the junk wax era (mid 80s to early 90s) where cards were overproduced (literally in the millions) and the vast, vast majority (regardless of player) aren’t worth much 30 years later, even in the best condition. Most cards you might find at a thrift/flea market/estate sale are from this time period.
You have a much better chance to find valuable cards if you find a seller with ultra modern cards (mid/late 90s to present) or vintage (60s and earlier). Ultra modern cards get their value from the card’s features (autograph, individual serial number, popular set) and vintage cards get their value from desirability of the set. The player on the card and its condition matter for all cards. Usually cards in better condition are kept in some kind of individual hard or soft sleeve, so if you don’t see that, it’s another sign that you are probably looking at common, junk wax cards.
Nice mix of items. I love finding niche video games (or game-adjacent items) like your Allen Carr Nintendo DS cache. It is so interesting to me how these weird things end up on a Nintendo, Xbox or Playstation platform. It totally feels like a scavenging victory every time, because they’re almost always underpriced. Except for Great Courses sets, for some reason.
The end/sell similar victory (w/ typo!) story is hilarious. Got to love that eBay algorithm. Did you price that higher back in the day and slowly bring down your price or offer settings, or was it $69.99 this whole time? $50 sale on a $70 listing, those are the kinds of offers I like!
Great title on the Scottevest. You did well on the sale compared to Terapeak solds, and I have a theory why.
The third autocomplete result in Google for Scottevest is Shark Tank, but the majority of active/sold eBay listings for the Scottevest don’t contain the words Shark Tank. Maybe your buyer would have bought your listing regardless. There’s no real way to know, no matter how deep we dig into eBay’s analytics. But maximizing keywords in the title, like you did, feels like an easy way to make your listing stand out from hack amateurs listing on their phone and faceless corporations cross-posting to every. single. resale. site.
So, at least two lessons learned from that sale. Not bad for a $10ish investment!
That tea pot is really beautiful. Do you remember where you found it or how long ago it was? You have this incredible talent for finding kitchen stuff that makes me fantasize about my future home!
The month plaque is so interesting to me, too. I see its value now, but in a thrift store I feel like I’d walk right past it. Amazing sale for a $3.99 purchase price. What was your net profit on the whole deal, and how long did it take to sell?
I need to keep in mind I want to sell 6 items a day, so I can use that small goal to remind myself to get those sales and sacrifice a bit of profit. Have I sold 6 items yet? No? Make increasingly better offers or accept lower offers until I go to sleep or hit 6 sales for the day.
This is such a great way to frame things if you’re struggling with motivation or trying to hit a specific listing goal. When sales get slow, it can get easy to fixate in an unhealthy way, whether that’s getting negative about eBay as a platform (the eBay elves are hiding my listings!) or how things have changed selling online over time (sales were better when ___). I used to turn inward and get frustrated with myself over death piles, not listing enough, not spending my time as efficiently as possible.
But that’s a lot of wasted energy, and one of the beautiful things of selling online is it’s just you. No middle management necessary, so no reason to fixate on things out of our control. Break things down on a more micro level — set a timer and create new listings until your time goes off, send out your next batch of offers to watchers at 30% instead of 20%, make a plan for one crooked death pile and set aside the time to actually do it, then go do something else. eBay will still be there tomorrow, and something will probably have sold by then, and what else could we possibly hope for?
These fees are common at large sales in the high cost of living Northeast where I live, too. I consider the cover charge as part of my overall COGS. Sometimes I’ve had a lot of success at these sales (like my Chicago trip) but more often I spend less than $50 total. So I’ve been making the trips less often this year.
With all the driving, time spent picking, etc, it’s simply a better use of time to scavenge online in my trading cards niche. Scavenging online doesn’t really compare to the thrill of zigzagging to a different section of a sale than all the dealers and finding something really cool, or hitting a section that was just picked over and there’s something there which is weird and (maybe?) valuable. But it’s fun in a different way. Since I buy mostly from the huge consignment sellers in the sports memorabilia world, I still find other neat items every once in a while and that’s what keeps me going. It’s so important to find that angle and what works for you if you’re selling online in any sort of volume. You have to remain open to learning new things and have at least a vague notion of a plan of what you can sell besides your main niche, because those items might not always be there.
One thing that’s constant with scavenging is that things will change, even though no one wants them to because it is the pipeline dream to sell the same things forever. The idea of things changing is obvious with “hot” items where demand dries up quickly, but more often change in a niche happens slowly over time and the change is hard to see even when you’re looking for it.
I’ve seen this over and over again in my trading cards niche in the last few years — for a time, demand went up for certain players cards, and sometimes way up. There were a lot of new buyers because of the pandemic and their buying was irrational. That still happens, no market is perfectly rational, but overall prices have dropped over the last few years, and for some players cards, prices are way lower. There are exceptions and patterns but anyone who thinks they know the future of cards, the next hot player or set, is usually wrong.
I consider myself very fortunate to buy and sell in this niche because there’s such a huge reselling market and so much to learn from it. The most important lesson I’ve learned is that everyone makes mistakes when buying new inventory, especially if it’s a type of item you’re still learning about, and sometimes your best move is cut your losses and move on. You wanna make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs.
I have some nice numbers this week because I made use of my 500 free collectibles auction listings in January, and I’ll have really nice numbers next week because I ran a second set of auctions late last week which ended this past Monday, the day after the Super Bowl.
I couldn’t imagine running auctions week after week like the mega sellers in trading cards and other collectibles categories do. So much shipping! So many items which sell for the starting bid or don’t sell at all!
Ending prices for auctions can be all over the place. For every listing which ends about where you’d expect, there are five where the market gets irrational. Sometimes this works in your favor as the seller with a mild bidding war. But sometimes an item doesn’t sell even though Terapeak says it really should have. And most often the buyer wins your listing at a good deal. This is how I buy most of my inventory, after all.
But auctions have a nice rhythm to them as long as you manage your expectations. I’ve found that about 10% of my auction listings will sell if I set my starting bid at 50% of my BIN price. Most of the listings get paid for within the first two days after the auctions end. A few times the buyer flakes and doesn’t pay, but this happens most often on cheap items. Most of the buyers are one-offs (collectors! flippers!) who like the thrill of the bid.
After the auctions end, I take a few days to assess what didn’t sell. Sometimes the item had watchers who didn’t pull the trigger. It’s an easy choice to return those items to my inventory at the original price. Other times lowering the price is the right move. Maybe demand for the item has changed or I just had it priced too high when I made the listing. I’m only human, and sometimes this happens.
If the listing is card-related (as most of my inventory still is), I can send it to my consignment port (for a fee) and eventually it will get processed and listed there. I’ve been doing that more and more lately. It’s a different way of selling than eBay, but I enjoy it just the same and selling there has taught me about eBay and vice versa. Sometimes I pull listings from my consignment port to ship on eBay or buy on there to sell on eBay. One pipeline feeds the other.
Running monthly auctions on eBay has taught me to analyze my inventory more closely. Sometimes the best move is to pull a listing from my inventory and move on to something else. So I’ll put it into a small or large lot listing or (more often, especially for bulky items like books and media items) just donate it. Sure, I spent the time creating this listing, and it doesn’t cost much to keep a listing up in my store. But some stuff takes a long time to sell, and I’ve found that I like when things sell quickly. Some things are rare and expensive and worth holding onto, and I have a few of those in my store at high prices. But my sweet spot is items in the $20 to $100 range. I like to sell those quickly, ideally within 90 days of creating the listing. I’m happiest when I hear the cha-ching for those items. It’s a reminder that I am constantly learning and improving.
If I had more storage space, I’m not sure I would have ever gotten this creative about moving inventory. But it works well for me. I’ve crunched a lot of numbers to come up with my auction strategy and I’ve gotten much more hands-on and willing to experiment with different selling strategies because of it. At some point in the (near?) future, I’ll have more space for my eBay business, and it will be interesting to see how much auctions remain a part of my selling repertoire.
2/4/2024 to 2/10/2024
Listings: 240— down from 377 last week thanks to two rounds of auctions selling and two rounds of culling inventory
Items sold: 58— 15 via best offer, 4 via seller initiated offer, 15 via promoted listings
Gross sales: $2023.90 (up 37% from one year ago)
Net sales: $1272.92 (up 27% from one year ago)
Average sales price: $34.89 (down 52% from one year ago)
Highest price sold (net): $151.36 — Cal Ripken Jr. 2020 Topps x Road to 2131 orange autograph #7/8
Lowest price sold (net): $8.40 — Trumpeters and Kettledrummers Art 1970s book
I’ve been selling on eBay for 15 years (albeit in a PT capacity), so I already send out offers, sell similar items that haven’t sold in 30 days, created a coupon, and use promoted listings (I changed it from 2-4% now) and try to take professional quality photos on a mannequin.
One of the most interesting things about selling on eBay now is the secret sauce of the algorithm and how listings can get hidden in search results for specific buyers. It can feel unfair. That’s a huge reason why I still post here. The negativity that pervades forums like r/flipping has never made it here. The forum was the perfect size to avoid that, in my opinion.
Selling on eBay felt so much simpler even a few years ago. Buy weird unique stuff for cheap, post it for sale and wait…wait…wait, and eventually your perfect buyer will come along. There are a lot more levels to pull now. Much more competition in every niche. But change is inevitable. The freedom we have in selling online is that we can adapt at any time.
There are a lot more levels to pull now, and what works for one person may not work for another. But I’ve found that it helps me a lot to analyze my own eBay selling behaviors on a regular basis. Basically a more granular way of looking at “the numbers.” Often I’ve learned new things from other posts on this forum or my own experiments. So here are my thoughts on each of the areas you mentioned:
send out offers
The lowest discount I will send to an interested buyer is 20% off but I have much more success when I get less precious about getting “my price” and send a 25% or 30% offer. I know others who send out offers at 10% (or even 5%) but I just don’t think that’s enough to engage interested buyers anymore. Allowing counteroffers to your sent offer (the first checkmark) is crucial. Often you’ll get lowballers, but they’re easy to decline and ignore.
What are your general offer settings at? This was another key step as I moved from part-time to full-time; I recognized that I had my minimum offer settings much too high. Now they are around 50 to 60 percent of my BIN price. This allows me to weed out the lowballers while catching almost anyone who’s truly an interested buyer.
While writing this post, I sold an item which was priced at $39.99 for $28. I sent the buyer (one of 10 watchers) an offer of $31.99 (20 percent off) and they countered at $28. Good enough for me.
sell similar items that haven’t sold in 30 days
What is your process for how you do this? My favorite approach is to take all of the zero watcher items over 60 days, end them and sell similar all in one batch. So 100+ at a time. This usually leads to a few “dead” items selling within the first few days and a few more within the next week or two. Lately I have been repricing (mostly down) every 60 days or so. Eventually some things will sell for lower than I like, but like you, space is at a premium for me and I’ve found that my business operates much more smoothly when I turn over inventory faster.
I will often do sell similar batches after I get back from a vacation or taking time off, to give me a few days to get caught up and back to the day to day of eBay while also giving stale inventory its best chance to sell.
created a coupon
Maybe others experience is different, but I think coupons are the easiest to ignore. eBay doesn’t do a great job of promoting individual sellers coupons or make them very prominent.
use promoted listings (I changed it from 2-4% now)
I was late to promoted listings, only having used them consistently for about two years, but I’m a huge proponent of them now. My base setting is 5% and my “I want to sell this bad” setting is 7.5%. I think just upping your promoted listings will lead to an uptick in sales once you get back into the normal flow of selling and listing.
try to take professional quality photos on a mannequin
This is a pretty big differentiator because of how easy the eBay app has made it for total amateurs to sell something with a few clicks. But keep in mind that perfect is the enemy of good. This is something I’ve had to learn over time, and it’s still a work in progress. Many buyers don’t read item descriptions or look past the first picture. I take photos of every feature of an item and use the seller notes to emphasize the item’s condition, but for $40 and under items, I’ve learned to focus on the bigger picture. Take a couple pictures, get it listed and move on to the next listing, the next pile, or something else.
How did you know that bowl was special without the Koda Boda (cool name) sticker on it? Just looked quality or you know the brand? It’s a really nice bowl.
Nice mix of games that you found at Goodwill. Games and puzzles are one of the few areas where I can go in a thrift store and have a little confidence in my knowledge, but I rarely find anything worth much. I’ve had this weird Gulf War themed board game listed for probably six months now and keep getting watchers but no bidders. There is one Terapeak sale from a few years ago and I’ve never seen another active listing. I might just open it up and play with it if it doesn’t sell for a $20 bid. I’ve gone with higher BIN prices but never even got an offer.
Also, please tell me more about these offer bundles and outlet sellers. Those are two of the ways I make money with online sourcing: find terrible titles and relist like a professional, and buy in bulk from the same sellers week after week and make lots of small profits. A combined shipping price from the same seller is a huge part of my inventory acquisition model: instead of bidding $2 + $4 shipping for one item, I’ll bid $4 + ($30 shipping/20 items) and come out paying a little less overall. Do this thousands of times and that’s my business, basically. It helps that I deal mostly in small items like trading cards but I suspect the model would work for other types of items, too, as long as you can find sellers who deal in huge quantities and price very low or run auctions on their inventory.
My anecdotal history over time shows that my items sold per week averages out to about 60-70% of what my recent new listing average has been. And if I hardly list at all my sales will keep dropping off eventually to very little no matter how many items are in my store.
Same here. This is a great rule to follow. But there are always experiments you can try — if you really need to sell some things in your store right now, send out offers to watchers at a strong discount rate– let’s say 40% rate. Almost guaranteed you get a few sales that way.
Another option is to end everything in your store older than x months and sell similar. Voila, now you have a ton of new listings this week. Even better if you reprice your listings as you do this, which makes the process less about tricking the algorithm and more of a strategy to keep your inventory fresh and interesting. A few days after you have all these new (or “new”) listings in your store, send out a fresh batch of offers to watchers. Or run a markdown sale and see what that stirs up.
I was struggling financially when I started selling on eBay, which is what motivated me to keep growing my business. It’s not always a linear process, there are ups and downs, but the beautiful thing about this life is that you can see the progress over time. You learn what sells and what doesn’t, and what you like to sell and what you don’t. If buying in thrift stores doesn’t work for you, try sourcing through online auctions. You can change strategies any time you want. It doesn’t always pay off, but then sometimes it pays off huge.
@sooozles My challenge to you is to list an hour a day, every day, for the next week and get back to us in next week’s numbers thread. When I need to list consistently, I pick the same time every day and just set the timer. I get all my pictures done in advance, so all I am doing is researching price and listing. If you run out of stuff to list, experiment with older listings. Cut prices, change titles, end and sell similar, even run auctions. With 1000 items in your store, you have some room to run experiments and see what works.
