Welcome back. Hope your health is better. What happened?
It’s always a good feeling to process a whole pile of stuff and get it on the listed shelf. You created a little pipeline that will generate cash over time 🙂
You know we’re all about the clearance section. I feel it’s less fun these days though. Stores are getting better at inventory management.
Good luck at the flea market. Be interested in how it goes.
Yeah, nothing wrong with taking offers or offering discounts. As long as we’re making good profit on each item.
We were a little worried if the Authentication program might decide the purse want real, but we felt confident because we knew where it came from.
Be careful about the weird items. Once you start seeing them, you start seeing them everywhere and you won’t want to pass them up.
Check to see if you can see if you can use the forum on your computer again. We just changed the spam detection on the site that might not be as strict.
I also was just thinking about you the other day. I also was thinking about the seller who ust sold trucker hats who used to comment here. I think he lived in the Bay Area and had a tech day job. We now have Craig here, who primarily buys and sells sports trading cards.
I’m glad things are going well selling and working full time. I’m also impressed that you can buy enough vintage inventory to grow your store this big. That’s a feat in itself!
I can imagine that photographing and listing patches is a breeze, but do you now have enough knowledge to quickly price patches correctly? Assume most patches sell for under $10? But we just sold some boy scout patches for $90/each. Took some research to see what we had.
Hope the new baby and mom are doing well! Amazing you have time for yard sales (assume its where relaxation happens).
Life is for living! But still fun to see the things you find and sell.
 It’s important to remember that buying things online has been around for 25+ years now and it’s not going away anytime soon.
Very true. We’ve been selling during several turbulent times and sales have always been fairly consistent.
Be curious where these stats are. Welcome back. Its been a while.
Jay, what percentage are you and Ryanne running on promoted listings these days? I had an $85 sale with no promoted listing fee this morning and it felt like the good old days for a brief moment. I’ve stuck with 5% to 7.5% promoted listings this year and I promote everything. I’m not sure it’s the best way to go, but it’s been working so I haven’t messed with it in over a year.
We deleted everything and are starting from scratch. It’s obvious that Promoted listings + offsite ads is eBay’s new income stream.
Do you pay for the promotions where they put ads for your items on other sites and charge you per click even if then item doesnt sell?
I find this page that explains each kind of ad campaign: https://mktg.ebay.com/select-campaign-type
Amazing finds. Those were all original, genuine items?
