I'd love to take a look at your eBay store. Mind sharing your handle?

Yeh, even if it’s something that should sell for my price quickly, I still promote for at least 1%

Man those vintage toys. Awesome! That’s the first thing I’d go for unless I’m missing something.

Look up vintage Powell Peralta Tony Hawk Skateboards Chicken skull.

Yeah there are some toys I would love to get my hands on plus them vintage HD t shirts.

I have my wife and may 2 or 3 other friends going to be there in the morning so hopefully we can grab a huge chunk of stuff.

Just looking at that Microscope. I am trying to get a mental map of the house made. Appears most of the older toys and stuff are in the garage or a room off the garage I see a lot of concrete floors. Some of the toys though appear to be in a bedroom with carpeted floors.

Do I see the G1 Megatron in that bx of what looks like Transformers in front of the train set? I know I see Prime and Blaster.

Couple boxes of Harley parts. But if they match the era of the shirts and easyriders magazines they’re not very desirable parts.

For me personally it's just a little extra savings because I just pull my items every night at 10 and print the 3-4 labels, and it actually gets me looking at my items and fixing titles, prices and such.

I am a TRS. It is not something that I necessarily try to "maintain". I haven't carefully done the math, but I suspect it saves me hundreds or maybe $1,000 or so per year in fees. It must not be too hard to get though. I have an ongoing issue with a seller right now who is TRS. I purchased a fairly expensive item that was listed as "Brand New". I received it, and not only was it used, it did not even work! I messaged him with no response, so I opened an INAD case. In the early morning (overnight) hours on the day I could escalate the case to ebay, he approved the return. I shipped it back. He received the return several days ago, and no refund or even any communication so far. If he waits until the last day to refund my money I am definitely going to neg him. He has TWENTY such negs in the last year for the same thing! I have no idea how he qualifies for TRS. I have been on ebay since 1999 and have left exactly one neg up until now. A seller really has to screw up to get a neg from me.

[daxwills]

This is not a knock on TRS but many have that by being bulk listers. Since they sell SO much stuff and TRS is based on percentage, you can see how they keep it even if they have multiple negative complaints about the same issue. Yes listing the way I do means my listings are further down in results and never get that "promoted" tag or whatever, it's not a big deal cause I'm not a big seller. If you're selling 10,000+ dollars worth of stuff on ebay per year, might be worth it for you to list very differently than me. Hell except for one month last year (parted out 4 old bikes I bought cheap) I didn't have more than 5 items listed at any time. Some of you guys list 500 a week. How I do it and you do it obviously should be different.

I'll save my answer until I hear others responses, but quick question.....When someone has something for auction, starting price doesn't matter, and has the "Best Offer" turned on meaning a buyer can send an offer as to not have to wait until the sale to end.....are you under the understanding that any offer received on your item should be above the starting price?

I mean, yes. Some people might think the item isn’t even worth your starting bid so they will offer lower.

This worked on a baseball card for me once actually.

It's kinda heavily implied, but, nah I've sent offers under stuff that's just insanely overpriced even at their minimum. But usually if the seller has a set price in their head, it's unlikely they'll be moved much. There are a few items I have had on my ebay watch list for over 2 years. At least I can always look at them? lol

[Hess687]

Thanks for the feedback. Me, personally, always get a kick out of people who send you an offer on an item lower than your actual starting price at auction. It's like, "No, no this is my floor, this is the minimum I'm willing to accept!". I just want to tell them their offering in the wrong direction.

I get it though and I can always set my auto-decline up, just wanted to hear other people's thoughts.

[val47]

Someone (yeah I know, I forget the exact details) in the last like year or two did a re-release and it was pretty cool to see.

Anybody have any info on this old hockey jersey? I picked it up this afternoon at an estate sale. Didn’t know anything about it but thought it was pretty cool.

Russian hockey jersey, which you probably already knew. As for the names, the picture wasn't clear/close enough for me to make out any signatures and am not sure I'd be able to know who they were either way. Pretty cool piece though!
