Some interesting sales Steve. Im glad to see vintage massagers are still selling, keep an eye out for the Genie Rub, they look like electric sanders and go for over $100.
Flat screen TV boxes work well for shipping framed art. If you have trouble scavenging those Uhaul sells boxes for art and TV’s.
Yes I agree, its the fees ebay wants which shoots a hole in any ebay throttling conspiracy theories.
Most buyers of vintage stereo equipment seem know its heavy and bulky, they’re mostly concerned with it arriving safely, so I put my packaging experience in the listing.
Concerning shipping more than one box for an order, I seem to do it a little different every time but if the two boxes combined is not over 70lbs I will measure out and enter the dimensions of the largest box and combine the weight of both and it usually comes out in my favor by a couple of bucks. Of course I’m more central in the country so that may be a factor. I’ve also done the extra handling route as well, I’ll figure the rate to the furthest destination and use that has my handling fee, you can always refund the buyer of any over charge but its tougher to get them to pay more after the sale.
Thats quite the horn, I’ll have to watch for the double loop. Slide rules can be a surprising profit item with the right ones, one of my first big sales was in 2013, I bought a still new in box 2 slide rule Pickett set for $4 at a thrift store and it sold for $200, I was so amazed.
Nice sale, Im not surprised it went to Minnesota, lots of Blue Herons in the land of 10,000 lakes.
I haven’t had that experience with Free Local Pickup….yet. The thing I don’t like about using it as an option is that it will bump another shipping option out of showing up on the mobile app, so if Fedex is the 2nd option it doesn’t show unless you’re on a computer, only the 1st option and Local Pickup.
Stick with the flip number clock radios, they’ll bring good money even non working especially Panasonic.
Ikonw what you mean, I sold a number of cassette boxes years ago for $600 or so and the guys been selling them individually for what’ll amount to $2000 or more, but thats all he sells.
Was it an ebay seller that bought your cassette tapes, I’ve sold quite a few to a dr.bo who sells single tapes. By the way, those are highly prized tapes.
