You have some deep knowledge on stuff, I have never heard of Satsuma, now it’s in my memory bank.
Nice find it on that radio, looks like new. And good for you asking for a high price, some collector is happy I’m sure.
You’re like me Ryanne grabbing weird boxes before you even have anything to ship in them.
I missed the last oval auction and there were some vintage ornament lots, those do bring surprisingly good money, nice catch and sale.
Those wood toadstool S and P shakers are cool and from Spain, good thinking on pricing them higher.
Unfortunately no, that is a very low end Marantz from the eighties, you would be lucky to get $50 for it on eBay, not a lot of buyers for those.
I think it works only because if an item doesn’t sell right away it’s a long tail item, so if something is listed and it sells in 1-5 days and some of your long tail items sell during that period you feel like things have picked up.
A bigger store just means you have more long tail items that haven’t sold yet so if you stop listing it’s going to seem like sales have slowed down.
Get a few thousand items up and like J&R you’ll see a steadier number of sales but will still ebb and flow with how much you’re listing.My own store has never been higher than around 900, in years past it was fairly steady, even when I wasn’t listing much, but now I believe my store is all long tail as I’ve been very lazy about listing. I’m just not finding the quick sale inventory I used to.
Yes, I recently signed up for shipping although I have yet to sell anything that needed shipping. I don’t have much up right now.
When I list it asks if I want to include a shipping option, if you say yes (the first time) you then fill out the address and banking information, they say you are paid on a rolling system whatever that means.
Shipping cost is estimated by FB according to weight but you are able to adjust that it if needed.
I believe some good history of selling on market place is all that’s needed for FB to allow you to offer shipping.Nice sales, I’ve sold that King Oil game as well, seems to be a hard to find classic.
My experience at a storage auction was disappointing for reasons Jay stated.
I made the best of it by hanging around and checking in with those who won and seeing what was really in there, then made a few offers on some stuff I could resell that the winners didn’t want or have a clue about.I’m not an alarmist but wow, it’s November right?
I only had half your numbers on eBay, luckily I sold a stereo on FB for $275.
I’m sure you haven’t seen numbers like this in quarter 4 in a long time.I’ve sold 8mm films many times. I get the most money out of them buy transferring a few clips to video and including them in the listing.
By transferring I mean I use my iPhone to capture the clips while I watch the movies on a screen.
Pick up a used projector, they can be found on the cheap if you look hard enough.
