This guy is my new number one absolute hero!
I especially love the part where he outsources the work, and then get the tax deduction for it!
Hmmm…. you sell more when you list more…
Conspiracy!

Can you add some titles, brand types, anything in search results similar to yours and see others that are out there?
BrianB: Great point. I sometimes wonder about that when we make multiple listings that are VERY similar, but only the size is different. We do this sometimes to avoid the Variations Listings (I don’t like those, since things like Size are a pain to put in the listings…someone talk me into them).
Duly noted!
I think we need to name the Edit Gremlin that eats our posts… Maybe Edgar… 🙂
Sonia: I 100% agree. The places we were looking…looooong drive to the closest set of mailboxes.
That was why we were checking the area out. And my process mind was looking for every risk to cover off… 🙂
Mike: Ouch! It was The Wings of Eagles! I should have got that! Dad was much more into the westerns…
Mike: I’m thinking Kill Bill Volume 1…
Mike: Stay away from John Wayne movies…my daddy LOVED them (and now I pretty much do too!)
Hey, that makes me think. Since I’m going to be there at eBay Open, let me know some big questions you would like answered (within reason please!) and I will see what I can find out…

ashend57: That is good to know. At some point in the distant future, we may move to a rural area. Shipping was the concern I had in the places we wanted. Either having to drop off in town or if we could work out a deal with the local post office.
I’m betting rural PO folks are willing to work with people…

Looking at the total number offered vs the total sales (which is past 90 days, so dividing those sales by 1/3 would be one month of sales, then you can divide that by the available inventory to get a monthly STR?)
I’m just wondering if you can see what the market for these items looks like. For example, I know that one of my lines is down YOY, but I can also see that it is due to a glut in the market for them too. So, I am selling less, but the market is bigger, so I’m getting a smaller slice of the pie. So I’m having to decide whether to hold out or to cut price and get a higher STR at a lower ASP. These are more commodity items, so price is a bigger factor than probably for you.
But you may be able to do some market research on your slow items to see if there are too many, or others are selling at lower price, or very little (so maybe a lower interest), things like that.

Yep, scans were our issue for a while as well, but running smooth now. Only crazy issue lately? Not taking ALL the packages! We would have 2 or more bins, but they would only take one, leaving the rest! Since I took them in and spoke to a manager…no longer an issue.
I’m thinking we have a pretty good USPS crew overall!
FYI, you can download the eBay Open 2018 app from the iTunes store now. Make sure to download the 2018 version.
Has the agenda, workshops, and even the Map on it…
