Two show as sold on Worthpoint One for $29.95 and one for $49.95. Both were the 1000 model and seem to match your photo. So avg. of the two is $39.95. Good luck.

Zach: Also it depends a little bit on how you listed it.
* Did you test it first and state tested and works in your listing or did you say “untested” would be good for parts? If you sold it as a tested and working unit, then they question is did he break it or did it just give out, or did he mount it on his camera body incorrectly.On paying for repairs, I wouldn’t leave that up to a customer. If the lens is a high priced lens, say $75 or more, I would say just send it back and you will have it checked out and resend it back to him. That alone would probably make him go away. What’s the shipping back to you less than $10 bucks or so. You can even issue a pick-up call slip so he doesn’t have to even do anything other than re-pack and box it up. Then when you get it back if it works fine, refund him and re-list it and sell it again and build in your cost of his shipping return. In other words, sell it for more than you did the first time.
You never know, but if you agree to a repair, he could actually go to a camera shop, trade it in for another one he likes better and then give you some sort of bogus receipt that is really just the cost difference of his trade in or trade up.
Just thinking out loud. No one rule that fits all in situations like this.
Welcome to the week of crazies. Looks like a lot of us are having them come out of the woodwork.
Maybe all of the drunks are just coming out of the New Years Party stupor and now are taking to the net.
I agree with Jay. Looks like a craft like decoupage project. Cut and paste down, then over paint. In this case trying to make some sort of social or personal comment or something.
Don’t see why you can’t list it. just wonder what would be market though. Probably a real DIY, one of kind, personal type item.Yep.. You are dead on accurate. We do the same thing couple times a day, just like T-Satt. In comes an offer, we except, decline or counter-offer. That is the communication.
No we have never sent any e-mail telling the customer that we are in the process of accepting their offer.
What she may be confusing herself with is that in the past, she e-mailed a seller using the contact seller button and sent a verbal offer through and e-mail and the seller replied to her e-mail [from the message center of course] and informed her they would accept her verbal offer. Then the seller created an invoice and sent to her and she paid from the “Invoice Sent by the Seller”.
but as far as the formal “Make an Offer Button” you don’t have to even add any text in the message box, just a number in the offer amount field. I will offer you $10 and send, you accept, done deal, they pay. End of story.
Sorry posted the actual text to the link already provided above. Deleted this post to remove redundant information.

Brian TFG: Like Steven S stated. A fast, quick check is most fake Rolex’s have a second hand that jumps, second by second. Real Rolexs have a smooth, constant sweeping second hand.
No need to create another Main Forum Folder, just put this new romance sub-folder under “Sourcing”!! LOL 🙂
Just a follow up thought. Maybe contacting Mark Tewes for a follow up interview with his take on the new tax laws and how it may relate to the e-commerce sellers.
Also don’t forget, some politicians are trying hard to push for Sales Tax to be collected on every sale outside one’s own state and then submitted to those states we had sales in, their share of the taxes. We signed a petition on this not too long ago and got several replies back from our Georgia Congressmen and saying they are working on stopping it but I think they said it may still be “in a committee” thing.

Hey Jay:
Just in our own case, we have been a sub S Corporation for many, many years and it has always been a pass through scenario for S-Corps. Nothing new there. What may be different is the percentage rate though, if that is what you are asking about.
The new scenario I think is that as a Sole Prop. and LLC you can use the pass through process. But as you said a question for the CPA-Accountant. As of early dec. ours couldn’t answer any questions because he was waiting to see what was passed. Now they are all scrambling to dive into the weeds-details.
Maybe some of the accountant type members here or maybe Mark Tewes will chime in with the real details.No problem DT:.. We use 6% mostly. Ebay has a drop down menu that shows the trends / averages being used by most sellers by the categories that items are listed in. We see some way higher and some lower. But in Vintage, Collectibles, Home Decor the trend is 5% to 6%. High end fine art and real costly antiques are some of the higher ones but can’t remember how much.

P.S. … Is there really such a thing as “too much shipping supplies”? Not in our book. We will take everything we can get. In boxes if we have surplus we cut them up into custom sizes and include in our inventory. We also do the same with the USPS boxes. Cut the USPS Shoe Box in Half all the time. Makes a very handy 7x5x5. I order 25 shoe boxes from the PO and then immediately cut and resize 10 of them into 20 7x5x5. Only takes a few minutes.
We also use a simple “corner crush down” method to splice two of the shoe boxes together to make a 28″ longx7x5 box for longer items.
For newer sellers you can cut, splice and dice any USPS regular priority boxes [EXCEPT Flat ] as long as you also use the “Priority” Rate costing.

Great idea Ryann.

Brian B: .. You hit the nail right on the head. And T-Satt said it just right also and just the way we feel. We use PL for all of our 900 ++ items and our report is showing most of our sales are coming from within the grouping of PL. It is what it is.
Think of this, isn’t that the same as buying an advertisement in the newspaper, Largest ad costs more and gets bigger space. Home Advisor and Angie’s List work the same, pay more and as a home handyman or service provider you get presented and promoted in more zip codes for a fee, buy up into any service and get more juice. Those that buy million dollar minutes at Superbowl get presented, no pay no see. Just the way it works.
So I think it works this way in almost any e-commerce offering on a wide offering format site.

They also have stopped offering the 18″x14″x12″ oversize box. The largest now is: 16x12x8 and the only square offered is 8x8x8.
