Dude there’s SO MANY good movies there. If you buy it I recommend watching g as many of the opened horror flicks as you can before you move them. It costs thousands of dollars to amass a collection like this because there just isn’t a mass streaming platform that has ~good indie horror films. So many good ones damn throwback through the last decade man!!!

Went to 2 goodwills today. Didn’t find anything but I did grab a John Calipari signed book so that was cool. And I already sold my Cashflow game.

It is on the Seller Hub, not the Seller Dashboard. When you click My Ebay top right, then drag down to selling it should pull up your hub.

While I was making a deal for the Hero Quests he has a new sealed Fireball Island sitting there teasing me. Knowing I want it. He refuses to come off it though. He recently sold a Dark Tower to another friend of mine never even knew he had that one.

the horrors that sell well are arrow, vinegar syndrome, synapse, code red, scream factory.

it seems like the last photo is warner archive collection dvd that should go for 10-15 each at least.

Was just looking at my items I have an old disinfectant store display piece from the 1970s for sale and it has over 20,000 views. Did some checking over the past month it has received over 90% of them. LOL thanks Corona.. Think I need to end that one and relist, its likely killing my search rankings.

My neighborhood usually has a garage sale every May but this year has been canceled. It was a good money maker too.

Mine as well! Hoping they reopen by June! I did score two great video game lots yesterday off of Marketplace.

Good luck to everyone trying to find some sweet deals.

Driving an hour away Saturday to get 215 lb of LEGO (loose). The posting was on Craigslist and I friend did it for him as he said he doesn’t do computers.

Didn’t really give me much information, I tried asking him timeframe of legos 90’s, 2000’s but he said he really didn’t know. I’m getting it for $300, wanted to see if selling 3 to 5 lb lots in fixed rate boxes might be nice $20 net profits, figured this was a good way to start, worse case scenario I make my money back.

I would take the base plates or any unusual pieces or things like tires and lot them up seperately as with mini figures then go for the bulk pricing.

Good point, I check base plates, like the road ones, man those things sell. I’ll have to see what I have when I get there.

I think I need to make all listings require immediate payment. I don’t know how bad that would hurt sales, but I hate waiting my, store isn’t a layaway program.

It still does not affect auctions or offers. Or if they put it and other items in their cart to request a combined shipping total. Most items require it regardless. I don't have mine selected but its been forever since I had one item that did not fall into those categories that was not paid for immediately.

Is anything worth listing???

215 pounds for $300? You should easily make your money back. I ended up selling most of the 20 pound lot I posted earlier on the cheap side to a friend for $150 and have made another $50 on just some of the minifigures.

My sons enjoys legos so it’s fun picking them up for him to see, even though he wants to keep them all. I thoroughly enjoy legos in general. I couldn’t believe what kid the base plates go for. Man.

Any tips on cleaning them in bulk or is it even worth it? I just see some listings on eBay state washed, figured that makes them a more attractive listing.

Past two days have been great, 27 sold, mostly all ornaments. To date I’ve made $2500 on the $1000 ornament lot I bought with about only 10% of ornaments sold. I would think I have another $5-$8k in the pipeline with everything listed and still needing to be listed.

The small ones are megablocks halo figures the bigger ones were made by, crap, I want to say mcfarlane toys but that might be wrong. Incomplete in loose condition they have no value.

Oh and you're correct bottom right is a ring wraith I think they're called. No idea of his potential value.
