If you look, you will see that the United States Post Office lost 3.9 Billon dollars in Fiscal Year 2018. I think they are trying to catch up and at least break even for 2019!

“Also by using WonderLister, the item is still in the database as sold, but not paid. When we replace we just adjust the database.”
I followed you except for the sentence above. What exactly do you do here?

I think that returns, unpaid items, or cancellations are one of the main causes of this. So, I have made a spreadsheet for each of these types transactions. I have a column “Back to Inventory” and “Relisted”. This forces me to put these items back into my inventory and to relist them.
The reason for this is that when something goes unpaid, it just sits there without getting relisted or put back into inventory. Or, you may relist it and then it sits there and gets lost. Then when it sells, you cannot find it in your inventory.
The other culprit is users asking questions about an item. You take it out to answer the question and then leave it somewhere instead of returning to your inventory.

I have like 5 back up remotes for my cable because we always seem to lose them. They after awhile, they show up again. I like having the 5 around so I never run out.

Money Spent on New Inventory: $100Gut Sales Report for the week: This week felt really slow. I was hoping to at least break $500, which I did. I am glad to at least do that in these slow times. Retrospekt was a bonus here. I am sending in 15 cameras. Thanks again to the person on the forum that alerted us to this. I think I still have about 15 more that didn’t qualify, but some may in the future.
Challenge of the week: I ordered 2 extra rail bars for for clothing racks. This will allow me to have a total of three double clothing racks that are 5 feet each. That is a total of 30 feet of clothing rack space! That is all the clothing I want. So, this week the challenge is to get all my clothes on the new rack space and order every bag by lot #. I will be very organized on my hanging clothes then.
Scavenge of the week: Vintage Florsheim shoes new in the box. Got these at a church thrift store. This thrift store is a real nice store without the high prices. The main guy that works there recognized me when I came in the door and alerted me to the new shoes that just came in. There were actually two pair and I got both for $6 each. It is nice to get some help along the way!

This lady at the says to me just before checkout, “You know that is a womens coat, are you sure you want to buy it?”. I said yes. Then she asked me 2 more times. I just kept saying yes… until checkout. They thought it was awesome also and wanted $50. At that point I said no.

I think Wonder Lister or Sixbit may work also. With Wonder Lister, once you sign up and get setup, all of the pictures reside on your local hard drive. The entire listing is retained in the database. So you should be able to end them and then relist. With 2500 listings, it would be $30 a month.

Those are some good points. I think I will hold out for a good price for this.
I am not sure why they were selling this at an estate sale, maybe it was a mistake. Of course I got it for almost nothing because the people running the sale didn’t see any value in it. Good for me.

MyCottage,
I don’t really buy bags either. After I wrote that above, I thought the same. Using ebay’s authentication program would probably be better.
I would like one of these two options to do shoes also.

Yes, I wish they were from the 1970’s. The rides that no longer exist\opeining of new rides were what helped us to narrow down the timeframe of the pictures.

Just the kind of information that I was looking for! I knew I could get information like this from the forum!
You make some really good points that I will have to do.
Thanks again.

stalix,
I sent an email to you on the 14th, but I haven’t heard back from you. Did you get me email? Do you need me to send it again?

I was wondering if Entrupy’s AI-based program would work for us. Not really.
It only appears to authenticate handbags right now. Also, it is a $299 start up fee (you don’t own the hardware) and then you have a monthly fee. Like, $99 to have 5 items autenticated. That’s $20 an item. For $399\month, you get 20 items, then it is only $13.33 a month.
I guess if you sold a lot of handbags this might be good. I avoid handbags right now because it is hard to authenticate.
I run across more shoes, I wish they would do those also.

To be clear, what is typed above is the recipe. My wife doubled what is written above (except the meat). So, for the noodles, she doubled it and used 8 Eggs, 16 oz Cream Cheese, etc.
