I experimented with fba back in October. I spent about $200 on clearance merchandise, shipped it all off to Amazon, and then watched and waited. I ended up, after all the fees and shipping, with $600+. So a $400 profit that took me maybe 5 hours total work to get. I then got really busy at work, but I intend to spend a lot more time with Amazon this coming year.

Sweet!

I haven't tried one, been meaning to look at those. I certainly have several piles of "goodies " I could sell as a junk drawer.

I tried one and it has not sold yet. So I put it on the junk drawer thread on here. It needs a better picture, and they also said it would probably do better if I added some junk coins or something. I'm going to try that, and relist it, and then we'll see how it goes.

I checked it out. So you don't have an auction running right now on it? I think the coin idea is good, maybe throw in lots of washers so it looks like it's loaded with coins! Lol

No, I ran it several times, and got nothing on it at all. I'm going to put a before/after pic on that thread to see what they think.

Hey guys/gals, man what a busy holiday season! Not necessarily sales wise..... Hope it was good for all, and now
back to the old grindstone. :laughing7: I still got product, too. 8-)

Did ya'll get your free 2014 "buy it now" listings? Go check your notices and free listings counter, until Jan 4th you should get 2014 free bin listings. I did, soooooo, I'm trying to set my bin price just a little higher than some auctions(of the same item) I'll re-list tonight. If someone wants it now, great, if not, they can feel like they got a deal on the auction, for a little less (I hope).

I wish I could move more bulk volume. I tried to look in to that amazon fba program, oh lordy, I thought ebay had high fees(or did I read something wrong?). :icon_scratch:
I'm trying to figure the cost & fees vs. make some profit, where that sweet spot is, that I can live with. :dontknow:

Good luck everyone, any helpful advice is always appreciated. :notworthy:

I'm still in the process of just auctioning off jewelry. A lot of stuff I had listed some new listing started. I have 12 ending tonight six have bids on them totaling about $120. But as of right now I have 30 to get in the mail tomorrow will probably be more like 40 by the end of the night. That's okay though don't have anything to do tomorrow anyways!

DieselRam, I put up pictures of the new and improved (I hope) junk drawer lot on the other thread.

I think the coins help but you don't have a closer picture of them like you do your other stuff. I think the Clinton campaign buttons detract some value! Lol just joking...some!

Yeah, I had thought about closer pictures of the coins. :laughing7: The Clinton pins probably will scare everyone off.

I never figured that I would get so many ebay members with 100% feedback that just simply do not pay...
I kind of don't get it...
on ebay if you change your mind about paying the auction they just ignore it until you give up
also you can't leave bad feedback I only have a choice of positive .. I guess because the transaction was never complete
