Yeah, maybe they buy and then cancel? I assume eBay would take action if someone just cancelled all sales.
I have no other hypotheses other than some people may just be able to sell weird items for high because they know the collector market well?
Thanks. It’s fun for us to think we helped “young people” (I feel like Im 25) as they entered the working world. We hope others can do better to avoid the grind. This is the only life we have so make the best of it.
One last comment: GET VACCINATED PEOPLE!!! This delta Covid is SERIOUS for young people. Most of the people in this ICU are young unvaccinated Covid Patients like me. It wrecked my family with even our 2 year old getting a mild case. Please please get vaccinated. I wouldn’t wish what I’ve been through on anyone! Biggest mistake of my life. The reasons I was hesitant are so inconsequential now.
We know each other well through this forum, so we really wish you the best path to good heath for you and your family.
It takes a big person to admit when a poor decision was made. Please post your new feelings on Facebook or wherever other anti-vax people may be.
We’ll be here when you get back in action.
Sharyn made a good point that it could be an in-person estate sale who has an eBay store to print fake “sold items”. We’ve all been to the sales where the person has a printed paper from eBay saying its worth so much.
So the store isn’t actually selling anything. It’s a hype machine.
Not sure if eBay would do anything as long as the person is paying fees?
Goes back to our conversation on eBay search. Did someone make a fake sale to pump up the price somewhere else?
I noticed that in the middle of the shop were several people using computers- they were the staff listing online the books that were worth selling; the shop contained the rejects.
I wonder how many book shops are just storage/offices for online sellers. Maybe the shop is just a place for regular people to donate or sell huge lots of books.
I can imagine there was listings like that where it’s just to set the price high for various reasons. I do know there’s a lot of junk in eBay search, especially when trying to buy new items.
I wouldnt stress about the tech along as the audio is decent. Keep up the good storytelling. That’s what makes these watchable 🙂
Its exciting to hear hat your liquidation business has taken off. I know you were having issues with local zoning restrictions. Amazing that you can just buy truckload after truckload of items returns to resell. The waste/abundance is unreal.
Flim! The last time we talked it sounds like you have a lot of new beginnings too 🙂 See you on the corner near the trash bags
If you really want to learn about the inner life of a person tat stutters, listen to some of the other conversations on our channel. We all got brought together by a really special therapist in Washington DC.
It was fun to meet you guys in New Orleans way back when. Maybe one day we can all hike that big trail in Spain.
Yeah, it kind of feels like leaving a job we didnt hate but wasn’t fulfilling all our needs. On the last day of work, you start questioning if it was a good idea because you realize all the people you’ll miss.
But its the internet! Here we are as always. Lets keep telling stories.
Ryanne and I have been working on another side project where we help document stroies of people who stutter: https://www.youtube.com/c/OpenStutter/videos Ryanne does all the editing.
My specific story is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmNaYEzGODM&t
Lets see if we can carry on the energy here on the forum. Smarter sellers than us are always reminding us of eBay changes and better ways to do things.
Simon! You always reminded us of our fun couple years in San Mateo and The Mission District when we were living our Silicon Valley career life. Made us laugh to think you were elbow to elbow with developers making high six figures…but then you were home listing old hats on eBay. Why not!
