Ship them in separate boxes, FedEx home delivery can sometime be the cheapest.

I line the boxes with styrofoam sheets, real thick on the bottom. I also put the speakers in a big trash bag, keeps out moisture and keeps the wood away from the coarse styrofoam.
I haven’t had any damage. I tried using FedEx and a private packaging store and both times they arrived damaged.04/26/2018 at 8:58 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Daredevil Dan stunt set, Settlers of Catan, Models & Trains, Bench vice, Post card, used Cassette tapes #38434Such variety. Nice sales.

I wasn’t getting that much attention on my Dodge.04/22/2018 at 9:06 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 355: We Catch Up w/ Maria & Ryan from Passport Vintage Austin, TX #38120You didn’t watch the video.

I search google with the model number and PDF in the text box, usually get a hit.
Your experience with online auctions probably denpends a lot on where you live.
I live in a medium sized northern plains city of roughly 200k, there are many out lying small towns that have auction houses doing online actions, they set up a viewing day but I rarely go look as it’s usually a 30-40 minute drive. I know I’m taking a chance but I’m careful and so far haven’t been burned.04/13/2018 at 9:54 am in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Big jeans, Fire King soup bowls, Pioneer tape deck, vintage Gym bag, Red Wing bowl, What’s Your Poison glasses. #37578The wooden canoe parts came from a basement I helped clean out. I knew there wood be interest as they were made from mahogany.
I’m always looking for expensive weird stuff I may have never seen before so I have no aversion to looking stuff up at the point of sale. I’ll do it discreetly if possible, I’ve often loaded up a shopping bag at an estate or yard sale and go off in a corner to look stuff up.
If I see anyone looking at me I just shrug and say checking sizes or something.What’s the hurry?
Sell them individually, list them when you can, it’s a pipeline that will keep pumping out cash.
It sounds like those hats will retain if not increase their value over time so even if it took 2 years to list them you’re going to make a ton of money from that purchase.
I’m with you on hiring help and the extra accounting work that nobody likes to do.I’ve sent many $500 plus items (mostly stereo gear) via the Global Shipping Program with no problems.
A $700 stereo console was damaged on its way to England and eBay took care of the buyer.
Buyers with different household voltages than the US are are usually aware that a step down transformer will be necessary, they are quite easily obtained.Good work, I think you have a handle on what it takes.
I believe signature required is always an option but pre selected for high dollar sales, you can always deselect it.
I’ve often messaged the buyer and asked if they would like it or not. It’s not free.03/29/2018 at 6:52 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Converse all stars, Tobacco pouch, Akai amp, Canoe seats, Step basket, Jean jacket #36662Yeah, I think it would have to be a fresh listing of like a day or two that accumulates 10 or more watchers quickly, then you know there is some spirited interest and switching to an auction then, might get that bidding war going.
