Wow, that pirate ship tip is for real.
Just checked out the cubic price and the caller was spot on.
I wonder if this isn’t competitive woth UPS Simple Rate roll-out?
Whoever it was that left that message….good job outta you.
I use an app on my phone called “DSLR CAMERA” which does a very nice job for a couple dollars.
What I like best besides being able to manually adjust all the pre shot settings is it instantly allows me to simply add a filter to the photo to brighten it up before I save.
Ryanne and Jay day all the time that it always will come back, and I’d bet you agree as such a long time seller.
The newer tax collection laws, increased postage rates (and 1st Class Zoning) by the USPS, Parcel Select rates doubling, US manufacturing labor hours down 11% for the year, tarrif costs being passed onto the consumer, all have to have some sort of effect.
All it takes is for a buyer to say “that seems a little high, lemme check around” and they probably won’t be back.
If you have a unique or scarce enough item, you’re fine (as Jay boasts), if not I see things continuing to be a struggle for all of us (unless we’re the cheapest).
The core principle of economics is scarcity, and it seems like it’s running its course here as well.
Every category I run in I see impressions for the rest of the eBay market being down for the year (not mine I’m the cheapest).
Yes, I already know this is going to set everyone’s hair on fire.
ADHD’s are hunters, not farmers.
Tracking down great items is hunting.
Taking photos is farming.
It’s why you hate it.
There’s a book called “driven to distraction” by Edward Hallowell.
Check it out.
I bought a kit on eBay, brand new, with three 5500 kelvin lights, stands and umbrellas, a 9×7 backdrop stand with white, black and green screens….all for $45.
Can’t beat it.
I also abhor photographing.
Try the app “DSLR CAMERA” in the App Store.
It lets you manually set iso, shutter speed, WB, and more on your phone. You’ll have to play with it a bit to get the feel.
It’s only .99 and a great DSLR app to start with at that cheap investment.
What I like is I snap the photo, and before it saves it it shows it to me and I can make any quick lighting changes or, if I don’t like it, re-take, just like on a camera.
Also when I save it it saves to my regular photo gallery, not one built into the app that eBay doesn’t recognize.
I do everything on my phone. Research, photos, listings, shipping, messaging, even promoting (via safari).
Lemme know if you try it and like it.
“Bad buy”.
Kuddos to you for acknowledging it.
I just had one I decided to retail instead of dumping and it’s coming back to bite me in the rear.

Check the radio very closely….sometimes there is a sticker on the radio with the code.
