Another slower weekend compared to the opening two.
A few auctions ended that already had bids plus a few more and 2 BIN

Up to 32 sales now.

167 items listed last I looked.

I spent 10 hours sorting and organizing GW jewelry bags by type, quality, signed items, gold/silver.
Actually found some gold this time. Lots of smaller pieces and clasps, but also of note 4.2 gram hook earrings that were 14k. Paid for more than 3 of the 8 or 9 bags I got! Finally, some luck with them

Good! Your doing better than me for sure! I've been too busy to focus to much on eBay, but Sept should allow me more free time.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Yeah, you are doing way better than me. I shipped 4 today though. Keep it up!

 

[Bassmaster96]

Listed 1, got 2 more to list. Sold one today, and have one with a bid ending tomorrow.

A few more listed last night.

Sold a red man chewing tobacco trucker hat for $40 shipped. Paid 1.79.
Pretty happy with that one. Probably $30 profit after fees and shipping

Sold another silverware lot today. Silverware is good right now.

 

[JustinNH]

35 Sales, 39 including items with bids. 10 days for me to get 11 sales for my goal of 50. If I am a few short, I'll could the guy who bought 4 visors as 4 sales and not one... haha!

Listed a lot last night- last day of the free promo. I have 15 of my original 100 to use in the next 10 days. 181 total listings now... almost double my average listings for the last few months-- very happy with the fact I wasn't lazy haha

What makes for a good silver ware lot?

 

[JustinNH]

Silverware is something I haven't learned yet... except of course hallmarks and foreign % marks.
Need to learn it though!

Crazy day so far. 1 sale and 4 bids just in today!

 

[Bassmaster96]

Basically, I buy all silverware that I can get cheap. I like to go to the public auctions and get cardboard flats of it for $5 or so. Silver plated normally sells fast, but I sale basically anything. Stainless USA sales pretty good, along with just plain stainless. Normally I get $1 or $0.50 per piece, and throw it in big lots. This last lot I bought had some kind of expensive spoon that I have listed for 10 by itself, and it has watchers. I sold a big lot of 40 pieces or so of Japan that was all the same pattern for $31, and I cleared right at $20.00 off of it. Split it up into lots of 15-50 pieces and it will sell. You may sit on some of it for a while, but it will sell, normally pretty fast. This site is actually what got me started on it. It isn't the most exciting thing, but it can help make a profit.



I have sold 19 so far with a box of random electrical cords selling today. Almost at 1 per day again.

Thanks for the info! I have passed up buying silver ware in the past as I had no idea. From now on if I can buy it cheap I'll buy all I can get. Thanks!!

Hey all,
I can't believe I missed this thread. It may just be because I haven't been bothering with ebay much lately.
I list things on Etsy, is that close enough to Ebay, to get in to the club here?
I've been listing some stuffs today, too.

I say etsy is close enough. Your welcome anytime, anywhere. Good to have you on board[emoji106]

 

[Bassmaster96]

Yeah, Etsy is close enough. Welcome!

Sold a lot of lures today.

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

Thanks a lot guys! It's always nice to be included. This is a great thread to keep folks motivated to list items. When I first saw it, I thought it was about our integrity rating on Ebay, LOL! I figured I got over 300, 100% feedback, so I wasn't worried about that. LOL!
Yeah, the places the cat-brain goes.......
It'll take me a little while to catch up reading 30 something pages, so........
Ya'll all have a great day! Thanks again.

First day in two weeks I didn't list anything was yesterday.

But I packed up 3-4 things and organized a lot of items (mostly jewelry) to be photographed/listed.

Ended yesterday with 7 (I think) bids/sales in 1 day. Last one was a $25 RL polo shirt I paid 4.49 for.

 

[Bassmaster96]

Justin, you are doing excellent! I've got a bunch of lures I need to be listing.

 

[dieselram94]

Quick question. Does anyone know the minimum age for opening an eBay and PayPal account? My son wants his own but he is only ten. Of course I would be strictly supervising this endeavor.

 

[JustinNH]

You need to be 18 to be in a binding agreement, which is pretty much the concept of what eBay is... so I would say 18.
Otherwise, no sale is actually a binding contract. Not that people take that seriously (non paying buyers!!)
