Been a cooling off week sales-wise, but I know we will be in the upswing for Q4 soon. Been busy on non-work items lately, mostly hiking. Did a 14.5 mile, 4,500 Elevation Gain hike on Sunday with a 39 lb pack in just under 9 hours. Still training for the Colorado Trail next summer. Now Veronica and some friends moved me to complete the first 5 sections of the CT in a couple of weeks. I have 4 days to get it done, just over 71 miles. Gotta get cracking!
Mike: Yep, people do it. They scrape all your data (essentially they copy your entire listing) and post it for sale on eBay (or another site) at a slight markup. Then when they get a sale, they have you ship the item to the final customer and they make the money in the middle.
Entire software programs that can do this. Set it and forget it. I watched a couple of videos. Pretty amazing…
Mark: Very impressive work. I love the concept of making your reporting informative and easy to produce. You can spend more time analyzing and less time building, and get the right info to know where your business is headed.
Are the Priority Cubic Prices cheaper than FedEx SmartPost?
Can you print a SCAN sheet for USPS?

I like totommyto’s idea of Etsy. May do better there.
I would donate, as it won’t bring much profit, and there really isn’t much of a market for it. Very few items that sell and very long tail. Not sure it is worth the warehouse space, listing fees, etc.
We have found stuff like this in the past. Have you had success selling them on eBay? We haven’t done very well there. Seems to sell better on Craigslist or something that is local (which isn’t bad as you don’t have to ship!)
Joe: Couple of Questions on Pirateship
1) Are the rates cheaper than eBay? So, are Priority Padded Flat Rate Envelopes cheaper than $6.90?
2) Doe Pirateship send your tracking number back to eBay?
08/16/2018 at 10:33 am in reply to: Selling on eBay is fun, interesting, profitable and impossibly great! #47559Thanks for the reminder to keep it fun! Since we are full time, we can forget that sometimes.
But I think the boss and I are going to play hooky tomorrow. Joys of running your own shop!

Loved the bit below, jump to 1:52 for the section that is for Resellers…

We don’t Auto Approve of a REFUND at all. Ain’t doing that at our level of the business for now.
