Mark,

I sent a reply but the email came from an email address for a “Julie”. I sent the reply on Jan 15th at about 7:15 am. Maybe you were logged into the wrong email address when you contacted me? If so, please shoot me another email and I’ll send you the info you were looking for.

Thanks,
Alex

And if anyone is interested, I think that if I can’t find someone to buy out the store inventory, I’ll plan a large “yard” sale in the garage and bottom floor of my home as soon as we get a little nice weather. Thank you all for the suggestions and help!

Hi everyone, sorry it took me so long to respond, the notification emails were getting caught in my spam filter so I didn’t think anyone had replied to the post! I honestly didn’t think anyone here would be interested in a buyout so I didn’t post the link to the store, but here it is for anyone interested: https://www.ebay.com/str/rigbysregalresale

We currently have a little over 1300 items listed for sale and everything is 50% off to try to move as much inventory as we can. Just for clarity, I’m not looking to sell the eBay account, just the inventory. If there is an easy way to transfer the listings and photos, I would be open to that assuming that it wouldn’t present any security concerns for me.

By my accounting, I have spent approximately 5,500 in inventory and several hundred in storage including shelving, etc. I would like to at least get my money back so I’d like to see around $6,000 but I’m open to negotiation. If you are interested we can discuss. You can email me at stalix53@gmail.com.

Thank you everyone!

I’ll send you a link here shortly. Long story short there are a lot of contributing factors. We are renting and basically move every year or less so trying to move all our inventory has been difficult in the past and we are over it (it takes 2 trips with the uhaul and we are planning to move cross country next so 2 trips isn’t really in the cards). We just had a new baby in February and we really don’t have the time or energy for it anymore. We will probably start over if we ever buy a house but for right now, it just isn’t working for us.

@sonia – On the trench coat issue – I must admit, for all the clothes I have online, I know next to nothing about fashion or clothing styles. I thought a trench coat just referred to any coat that was long enough to come down to mid-thigh or knee or so. If these aren’t trench coats, what are they? I suppose each one could probably be labeled as a different style of coat, and I don’t want to ask you to fix every one of my listings, but do you maybe know of any resources where I could learn about different coat styles (or really fashion styles in general)? Honestly if it isn’t a t-shirt or denim, I’m out of my depth.

I had suspected I might be pricing things a bit high. Every thing I post, I search for sold items, and look for similar items in comparable condition, but I do tend to list on the higher end of the comparables (ex. if they sell in similar condition for 20-50, I’m likely to list at 50 and hope for an offer). Maybe I will try running a sale on some of my stuff for 20-25% off to see if things move a little more quickly. If I see a noticeable uptick in sales in a couple of months, that would be a good indicator that I am pricing things too high.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate the help!

@Sonia – Those are per month! Sorry, I meant to specify that.

@Temudgin – Thanks for the tips! I have been eyeing a couple auction houses around here so if I make it out to one I will let you know how it is!
