Like many others, I get up way earlier than needed most mornings for my M-F day job. I generally get up around 5:00am, but leave the house around 6:30. If I’ve got stuff to pack, I have the time, if not, I sit and drink coffee and surf the internet/etc for an hour or so.
With that said, anything that sells during a given day gets packed that night before bedtime. That way, in the mornings, I’m only packing items that sell through the night.
Yeah, it wouldn’t even generate the label for me. Took me through all of the usual steps, but then would error out and tell me it was unable to generate the label.
It was late last night when I was trying to print the label, so I didn’t/haven’t called ebay on it. Thought I’d post here to see if anyone else had come across the issue first.
My sales increased when I opened my store last year, BUT when I opened the store, I went pretty hard at listing. I would speculate that the increase in sales was due to the increased inventory, and not to either having or not having a store.
Similar Snap-On made tool on ebay currently.
Guessing it’s likely designed for tightening head bolts on an engine (likely a large tractor or similar with that much clearance). Similar tool can be found in the link below:
I’m glad this thread came up, and that your shoes finally sold for so much!
My backpack that’s been listed since last May, sold for full asking price (over $300) this morning to a GSP buyer. I bought it for $5 at a community yard sale last spring.
Patience pays! The early bird may get the worn, but the patient bird gets to “eat on” the leftovers for months to come.
Sounds like the vintage back pack I’ve had listed since May. It’s had 5500+ views, and has 16 watchers. It’s had best offer on it from day one, and I’ve already sold a similar one listed around the same time, for a similar price.
It’s gotta go eventually, but I find it interesting.
Best of luck with your Aldens!
Almost entirely depends on what I’m listing, and if it’s “easy” or possible to use sell similar. I can do about ten trucker hats, sew-on patches, or postcards an hour using sell similar, but can only do two or three more labor intensive items (I just did a pair of snowboard pants that took 15-20 minutes from start to finish) per hour.
I try and backlog my unlisted inventory a little bit so that I can list a 4-5+ shirts, or a bunch of hats, etc. Speeds things up a bit.
Agreed. You’d be hard pressed to get me to pay more than $1 or $2 for a trucker hat. There’s just so many of them out there. They all sell, just for varying amounts, and some take longer.
I bought an entire collection of 1500+ hats from the 70’s and 80’s four or five months ago. I paid $300, and have already made $1200-1300, and have only gotten to listing around 300-400 of them (40 or so have sold).
With that said, I’ve sold some with “cool” brands, and some from ma and pa’s diner in the middle of nowhere. Use your gut. If you’re willing to wait, they’ll all sell eventually. I average around $22-25/hat, with a few having gone in the $80-125 range.
Whoa! That is AWESOME. Thanks Jay. I have never actually clicked on the “customize” tab. Very helpful!
A few months back, I sold an early 80’s pink/purple Disney trucker hat for $125. I had to know who was buying it, and as far as I can tell, it was to one of the Chicago Bulls’ players. Googled his name, and then the address, and they seemed to line up. The high-end condo appears to have been purchased a few months earlier, right around the same time that this player was traded to Chicago from another team.
I use a cross-border shipper to get my packages across into the US, giving me access to USPS/FedEx. If I were limited only to Canadian options, not to my knowledge, nope.
Ugh. Just had to do this for a typewriter that was damaged in transit.
Has anyone had good or bad luck with shipcover/smartpost? Just wondering if I should write the money off, or expect a chance of getting it.
The typewriter was well packaged, and was obviously damaged during shipping based on my listing pictures, and the ones my buyer sent when they opened the claim.
