Thrift Shop Pickups

[nyisle]

Picked up a lot of Skylanders, 38 total pieces, 22 Figures, 1 chest and 15 Crystals. How would you guys sell them. Individually, as a whole lot, or 2 lots(figures lot and crystal Lot).
Time isn't an issue. just not sure if I should do individual to maximize revenue, or sell it as a whole to not have to worry about having left over pieces sitting around and wasting listings til they sell.

I would probably lot them up. I am doing more lots as well these days on things like that. Yes you may leave some money on the table but you make more money when you can actually move items and minimize how long you store them.

Agreed. With what you possibly lose on profit you make up on shipping a lot of the time.

Out of nowhere today I ended up selling 7 items for over $200. I listed a bunch yesterday, and today old stuff sells. Is there some type of algorithm where when you list more you get more exposure on your items? Today I ended up at goodwill and snagged a NWT Peter millar cashmere blend 1/4 Zip, a used millar merino wool 1/4 dip, a Nike tiger woods collection shirt, a decent pair of dress shoes, cant remember the name, slipknot and Billy Joel concert shirts, a few under armour and nike Ts, and a new Eddie bauer courier bag for 35 bucks

BOLO Candy land 1984 version, 1999 version, and 2001 version. All three versions sell pretty good used.

Thanks for the heads-up! What makes these Candylands so desireable

Yeah, listing a bunch of stuff will encourage old stuff to sell, particularly if it's the same category. I listed 110 pennants and had 8 pennants from old listings sell in 48 hours. Happens all the time.

Yes you should list new items everyday. Even if its ending old items and relisting them using sell similar.

thanks for the help... wasn't even thinking about the shipping and handling aspect. Shipping and handling has gotten so outrageous these days. Probably be the number 1 reason to do bulk as opposed to single item listings.

I'll encourage you guys to block this eBayer, bacthet0. Guy makes an offer on an item that I accept. Then literally 10 minutes before the auto unpaid item case is open sends me a message, telling me cancel the transaction he "found a better price." Unpaid item case opened as I wasn't around my phone. I tell the guy there is nothing I can do at this point he will have to take an unpaid item strike. Guy berates me message after message about how I didn't have to open a case, etc.

If anyone on here likes to sell new stuff in bulk on Ebay, I have a huge lot of stuff that I am looking to sell to one person in a big box for a big discount. I just do not have the time to list/ship everything myself right now. I have a ton of Brand new hats, beer stuff and other things like that all new or like new. Figured I would give someone a shot at it, who buys in bulk like this. I have like 15 hats, beer tap pulls and other things.

Not wanting to do a BST ad in here, just a heads up to resellers that list tons on Ebay.

You should still be able to cancel the transaction (at least you used to be able to). If you go to the resolution center, you should have the option to close the case. It should then ask you if the buyer has paid with only yes as the option, but down below it should say something like cance this transaction instead.

Tried that last week on an item where the case was already opened and Ebay would not allow me to cancel it at that point had to proceed with the case.

BOLO for these 1999 Disney Playskool Mr Mikes. Sell for $100+ on eBay. Got mine listed for $200 to see if I can fetch some higher coin.

Here are some of my pickups. Less than $10 total for everything. If I can clean the jerseys up I should do pretty good. All the jerseys accept the Yankee are no names

[callou2131]

I never find hockey jerseys. Some of the CCM ones from the 90s sell for a few hundred. Today I dropped by a Goodwill on the way grocery shopping and spent a few minutes. Found a cool Paisley Stetson Shirt, An interesting Harley shirt. It is long sleeved, a really heavy material, snaps up, and the breast pocket folds down with velcro and has a place for your credit cards, a key attatchment and a zippered pouch for cash. Also a NWT Nike Womens golf shirt, a Vintage Filson Tin cloth bush hat, then I found a blaster of 2017 score football and a mega of 2017 donruss football. Hit one base mahomes and a no name jersey card. Spent $39, so it wasnt great bargains, but I would have spent that on the 2 blasters anyway.

[TwinGnats]

Finally concluded the first step to getting the financing I need for my brick and morter vintage/sports card store.

Also, I'm so close to the 100 subscribers that I need to get a custom URL for my YouTube channel. I'd really appreciate an assist from anyone that likes the videos I do by subscribing.

Scored a bunch of old cassettes at goodwill. They were in boxes left by the front door. Had not yet been processed. Supervisor gave them all for $10.

Cant wait to start looking through these. Must be easily 150 tapes - some unopened. All in perfect shape.

only hardcore hip/hop or, obscure punk rock bands, or late 90s rap and rock before cassettes were abandoned and production was lower. i guess hipsters, people with old cars, and prisoners are the main buyers now.

If you have a Goodwill Outlet or are able to get Disney DVDs fairly cheap, make sure you're entering your reward points. I often just take the paper from the DVDs at the outlet and redeem my points for mystery DVDs then lot up the DVDs on Ebay.
