Ebay Listing Accountability Thread

[JustinNH]

Nice! Are those used shirts? If so are they a special brand or what?

Yeah, 95% are used shirts. No specific brands, but I have spent many hours learning what good brands are as well as trial end error. I'd say I've sold 20 different brands reliably, on top of singles of others.

These recent ones were Ralph Lauren, Patagonia, and a Soccer jersey and a golf polo.

Also sold a book last night

Only listed 2 items, but packed up 4 to ship out.
Up to 21 sales for July


I should also note that 7 months ago I had never sold anything online and had zero knowledge of most brands, so I had a big learning curve to overcome. I am still on track for my first year goal of $10k gross... maybe a little shy-- but I plan to pick up listing to meet it!

Very nice! I may try clothes. Golf shirts are definitely a good idea. After Palidin talking about toys, I looked them up on eBay. I knew some were selling good. However, be on the lookout. The ones I used to play with are going good right now.

Listed 1 item last night. Spent time shipping out items last night. 21 sales for July so far. I am taking offers if they are close or I have very little money in an item. Jewelry is selling if priced to move. There is a little profit in the jewelry that I have sold this week. I have a dozen items that are so so and I want to just get rid of them at a small profit and source something better. HH

Yup, there comes a point its better to just be rid of an item and move on to more profitable items...

 

[Bassmaster96]

I've got some stuff that needs moved too. I'll probably have a yard sale sometime soon and move some of it there. There is an auction and yard sales tomorrow, so hopefully I can get some good stuff there. Accepted one offer today and countered on another. Another item you guys may want to look out for is offshore releases. They are to do with fishing. I put 6 of them on with an alarm bell, and have 6 watchers 60 or so views, and 2 bids for $20.55 plus shipping and well over a day left. DieselRam, when are you leaving?

 

[dieselram94]

I'm leaving for Florida on Saturday.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Okay man, be safe. We saw a lot of wrecks on the way.

 

[dieselram94]

Thanks, I'll have my phone with me so I'll continue to be on tnet.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Sounds good. Let us know when you get there. Spent $9 today at the auction and got a flat of silverware for $5 and gave $4 for a box of toys. It filled up a black trash bag full of them, there are a lot of action figures etc. I figured I would give them a try since Palidin is doing very well off of them.

 

[palidin20603]

Listed 1 item last night. July sales up to 23. I have 2 offers I need to counter and lots of listing to do this weekend. HH

 

[Bassmaster96]

I got some good toys. I got some Jurassic park vehicles that go for $20-$30 each, and lots of ninja turtles and power rangers. Should do good!

 

[dieselram94]

Excellent! There is a huge flea market down here I hope to go to. I'm in south Carolina now. I'll see if I can find any deals while I'm down here. Lol!

 

[Bassmaster96]

Yeah, we went to a huge one down there too. It was high though. We did find one good one that had reasonable prices. Maybe you'll have better luck!

 

[dieselram94]

I hope so. I was just looking at your chugger lure, I hope you get some last minute bids.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Well, I didn't get any last minute bids. That's okay though. $26 for a lure that I thought would be worth $3 when I first bought it. The little heddon bug bid up to 18 though. Got 4 sold, awaiting payment on 1, need to ship 3. Sales are picking up! Are you in Florida yet?

 

[dieselram94]

Yup, I'm here in Florida at my other house I fell asleep on a air mattress in the pool. It was very relaxing until a loud thunderstorm came up and woke me up. Lol!

 

[Bassmaster96]

Well, I am glad to hear that you made it safe. Enjoy your vacation!

 

[dieselram94]

Thanks! Looking forward to relaxing and having fun.

 

[Bassmaster96]

It is nice. Shipped 5 today.

 

[dieselram94]

It is nice. Shipped 5 today.

All lures? That must have felt good to ship five in one day. I have yet to accomplish that...
