It’s officially “Native Americans’ Day” in South Dakota. Post Office still closed.
10/08/2018 at 8:57 am in reply to: Is there an Ebay glitch adding Best Offer to everything newly listed right now? #49730On the iPhone app you can uncheck the best offer but it’s automatically checked each time I list an item.
The duration is also set or checked to 30 days and the option will disappear before your eyes and change to the best offer option. Weird.10/05/2018 at 5:28 pm in reply to: Is there an Ebay glitch adding Best Offer to everything newly listed right now? #49671Correct, on the app there is a place to uncheck it but it seems the default now is clicked on for accepting offers.
10/05/2018 at 3:37 pm in reply to: Is there an Ebay glitch adding Best Offer to everything newly listed right now? #49664Yes, I just noticed that on my iPhone today, it’s happening very time I list an item.
Also, the choice of 30 days or GTC is gone, but I checked my listings on a computer today and they were all GTC.-

Sell it, period. Nothing new under the sun in that book, it’s all on the internet.
Remember, you’re a retailer not a censor.September 2018
Items listed in store 970
Sold items 64 (eBay 63 FB Marketplace 1)
Gross sales total $3935 (eBay $3510 FB $425)
Returns 0
Highest sale $425 Pioneer Turntable
Average $61.48Not really a return but the buyer of the La Barge mirror last week asked to cancel after paying and also after I had taken the mirror to be professionally packaged. She said she measured wrong, so now I have nicely packaged mirror ready to go.
I just made an offer for $8. The opening bid is set for $10.
We’ll see what happens.My rule is if I can get the box open without breaking any seals I will photograph it ‘out of the box’ and make that statement in the description.
If the box is just taped that’s a tougher call but I would probably leave it in the box.
I always have to remind myself that buyers usually know what they’re looking for and I don’t have to ‘sell’ them on it like a catalog advertisement with numerous details.That’s what I’m looking for, a nice easy pipeline of small new parts.
Easy to store and pack.I have found the best (and worst) shelving on CL and FB marketplace.
I have a dozen or so wood shelving units from a Ford dealer parts department, 4 sections of grocery store type gondola shelving and a number of oddball light weight shelving.
I spent less than $200 for all of that.09/18/2018 at 12:53 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 377: Talking Numbers with TSatt (Troy) #48890I’m with you Sue, clothes are boring, high end brands and rare items are all I look for, I could never sit down with a dozen dress shirts to list, I’d drift off onto something else before I has 3 listed.
09/18/2018 at 12:49 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 377: Talking Numbers with TSatt (Troy) #48889I’ve owned a couple businesses and the one piece of advice I received that really stuck with me was to spend as little as possible on the business until cash flow was calculable, steady and you’ve saved a lot of it and even then try not to make physical improvements just guaranteed money making expenditures.
In short, don’t spend money….yet.09/13/2018 at 1:04 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Projection screen, Models, Penguin hot/cold server, Desk lamp, Mailbox #48705I found a Tammy doll convertible sports car (MGB) last week.
I did not remember that doll but she seems to be collectible.I’m an iPhone app user.
I found a Galaxy 7 in front of my house last winter and it still worked so I downloaded the eBay app and tried to list with it, my experience was horrible and I don’t think it was because I’m used to iPhones, the app was just making you take more steps and it didn’t seem user freindly at all.
Now with updates it might be better and I’m still going to try it out at a store again before updating my iPhone 6 to the next X model this month.
I’m sure they’ll let you download the eBay app to try it.Used iPad are cheap and pretty reliable, I have 2 and may buy a third as I’m giving one away.
Updated, I forgot to include a FB marketplace sale of record albums.
