Couldn’t disagree more. I’ve tried the Android eBay app and found it substandard to the iPhone app.
Way to many problems and repetitive steps.I use both Apple and PC computers I like PC’s more than Apple but for mobile it’s Apple all the way.

Less items means less variety and more chances for a dead week.-

• Cost of items purchased this week $0The up one week and down the next trend is continuing, I had thought about a Nebraska road/scavenging trip last week but low sales kept me home listing. Plus it’s snowing every other day here, woke up this morning to another shovable covering of snow. Glad I bought a snowblower in the summer for a $100, would be $500 in the winter.
Silver face amps and tape decks, also huge boomboxes working or not.
I’m not going to sell them but I picked up 18 cans of Bush’s Black Beans from the free section on CL.
Just made spicy black bean burgers for the first time…delicious.Once you reach a certain number of items (can’t remember the number, 600 maybe?) they won’t show up on your apps active items, you can still find them via regular eBay search.
I’m using an iPhone by the way.02/15/2018 at 12:21 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Pioneer Reel To Reel, trucker hats, vintage game parts, 8mm home movies #33079Your research and clean up on the chair paid off nicely, I’m sure someone will be quite happy once they get it.
Big items that are tough to ship usually pay off big.To me a death pile is items purchased wth the thought they were easy money but you’ve now lost some interest after finding out they will take some effort and will not be the goldmine you had hoped for.
Sounds good except I’d hate to subject Ryanne and Jay to the horrors of the US political machine.
Also, if you take the mileage deduction you can’t take any other deduction for vehicles.
I don’t have a best offer on it, he messaged me asking if I would take $1400 and I messaged him with that offer and he hasn’t accepted it yet.

• Cost of items purchased this week $360Legitimately slow as far as number of sales. Went 2 full days without a sale and if not for a literal 11th hour sale (11:30 Saturday night) of 2 amps it would’ve been a pitiful week.
My daughter came down from St. Paul for a visit, she’s sells on Poshmark so we usually go thrifting together.
There was an estate sale we hit on Saturday, it was a big McMansion owned by a couple who made their money by selling the family Dodge dealership to a huge conglomerate of dealerships. Tacky is the the kindest description I can come up with for what was for sale, even the house was just dumb huge rooms, 4 bathrooms on just the main floor. Money doesn’t equal good taste.
There was a wooden box containing a chess set priced at $500 that I only glanced at, but with nothing else to pique my interest I went back and looked it over, turns out to be a hand carved Anri Cavalry vs. Native American tribe set made in Italy, quite rare with 1 sold for $1325 and another with broken pieces listed for $1500. Since it was the second day everything is marked down 25% in the morning and will go down to 50% in the afternoon. The lady who runs the sale knows me so I asked her a little about it, she told me that was one of the few items that she wasn’t allowed to discount more than 25%.
I went home and after some research went back, asked her if she would make the owner a $300 offer and it was accepted.
I listed it and immediately received a message offering $1400, I sent an email offer back but so far it has not sold.
I try never to shy away from a big purchase opportunity even when it’s been a slower than usual week. It always turns around sooner or later.02/11/2018 at 10:35 am in reply to: For Steven S and other Car Nuts: Alfa Romeo Resurrections #32699Best thing about the Mustang II was it bridged a gap, Ford was all set to discontinue the Mustang after 1973.
Oh, and Farrah drove one.Here’s a couple Mustang II’s that I owned, the gas station is in the background.
Alfa’s have some of the best lines, what a beauty.
A close friend of mine owned several including a Spyder and Milano among others.
I was always into British cars having owned MGs including several Midgets an MGA, MGB and this rare MGC six cylinder that I reluctantly sold on eBay in 2010 for top dollar. -
