I usually get them off of amazon. I buy the Betckey brand, you get 10 rolls for about $50. That is 2200 labels which lasted me a year and half. I have purchased them in the past as well, no issues whatsoever.
Much better week for us, the last month and a half has been scary slow.
Total Items in Store: 703
Items Sold: Ebay 28<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>
Total Sales: $1895
Highest Price Sold: $391.50 8mm Player (Paid $20)
Money Spent Inventory This Week: $311 (online auctions)
My favorite item: Vintage Bear sold for $198 and purchased for $6
Along with you all we have been contemplating life and wondering how to sell higher priced items. With both my husband and I now reselling full time we wanted to change business models. We are also running out of space in our house. UG. We will no longer buy items that will make us under $25, at least this is what our goal is. We have been doing pretty well in the last month with higher priced items, most we have gotten at online auctions for a pretty minimal price. We of course are always weary of scammers with electronics but we are going to do our best, learn from our mistakes, and give it a shot.<span class=”Apple-converted-space”> </span>

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I think we may try to take off the cover and let it breath.
We had a pretty horrible week on ebay this week. We do sell print on demand items and we sell some grocery items on amazon as well, this has really helped fill in the void of ebay.
Talking about vintage t shirts: We are helping my mom and step dad downsize and move, they have given me a TON of antique items to sell. My mom was getting ready to take a big black bag of my step dads clothes to the donation center and I asked if I could take it home. After opening it I found there are several vintage Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings T shirts! They are from the late 70’s. There is one from 1978 Willie Nelson picnic, which fits me perfectly. Now am torn, should I keep or sell. I think I could get a very good price for them all.
That is a great way to ship, I think we all have excess pieces of cardboard laying around we could use up. Thank you for sharing.
I also use 6x4x4 boxes and put them in a padded flat rate. This doesn’t work for larger mugs but I have not had a problem with any being broken as of yet.
So far 12 of 658. Not bad, but still. UG. I only caught it because I just sold an item and wanted to double check the listing and saw that it only had one picture.
My husband has always been frustrated trying to keep my boxes organized. He recently started helping me ship and now gets how great it is to have the perfect box. It seems like when we are out and about and we see either boxes or packing material we always stop and debate if we have room for more.
Wonderful podcast! Even after I have been selling for several years, I still need to hear what you are saying. Your podcast/forum has always been my go-to for down to earth and reasonable guide to ebay and scavenging. I have several family members asking about ebay recently and I just told them to start selling stuff in their house first, just to see if it is something they will actually keep doing.
Our ebay sales have been pretty average for ebay for the last couple weeks, admittedly we have essentially taken a month off due to a death in the family and helping several family members move. Our print on demand is still going well, because of the current pandemic our shipping time from suppliers has been ghastly, but people have been understanding and they keep buying. We have also been selling a ton of stuff on Facebook marketplace. My mom is downsizing from their 5000 sq ft house to a 1800 sq ft house, so I have been busy putting their stuff on. So far it has been a great marketplace.Box hoarder!! I have been dubbed that by friends and co-workers. Lol.
Thanks for the suggestion, I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure how much they would charge.
