If a seller could chose to do just ONE thing that will drive your buyer crazy it is to skim off money on postage by downgrading service, if I offer priority only, the item ships the way the customer pays for, to do otherwise is to make many of your customers very angry indeed–it doesn’t matter what the item costs.
If you do collectibles and antiques don’t forget the sales room Tom, there is still good merchandise to be had a auction.
My week was OK–a few sales on ebay (6) and a few sales on etsy (4) for a total of around $370 with the highest price $100 for an antique handbag that I sold on ebay.
Man I would so be into a store that only concentrates on men’s high end shoes, unfortunately I can’t find enough stock in my area–but yeah, shoes totally sell for great prices.
what items are my prices low on? and if they are low why aren’t customers taking advantage of it? LOL. I research sold prices and then price by gut–I am not a museum or a hoarder, I like to keep stuff moving.
I didn’t expect a video from you this week Steve–glad to see one though.
Things have slowed way down in my stores, but a few of my recent sales:
bought at an online auction and I paid up for it, but this is one of those items that I just fell in love with, sold for $95

bought as part of a job lot of jewelry at my local auction house–I probably had $10 or so in it, sold for $85

estate sale find for $4 sold for $40
I wouldn’t do this personally because I think that it is a moral gray area Jason–you didn’t buy the original shoes and I would think that the guarantee, if it exists, applies to the original buyer only. I know that some high end shoe brands will re-sole their shoes but I don’t know if this is for free or fee.
why not make them pay for shipping? .50 is insignificant–unless you are selling volume and absorbing that cost.
