Ha ha nice man, yeah I'm down to one piece of Redskins clothing left, sold 6 yesterday. This was stuff that was sitting for 6 months plus because no one cared about the team. Happy to get rid of it.

Stopped quick at Goodwill on my way to the post office today. Picked up 5 new baseball display cubes for a buck each and a book signed by racecar driver Johnny Rutherford for a buck. I’m old enough to remember watching him in the Indy 500 as a kid.

Nothing huge at all. I just wanted to post a picture of Rutherfords sig. One of the most beautiful sigs I’ve ever seen!!!

Got these cool Skeeter Fishing Boats Team Gear Shirts for 90 cents each. Think they sell them for around $100 each on their website Fully embroidered on them. Very nice in person.

Funny to see a 2nd Ave Thrift Store tag. Didn't realize that they were a chain as they only have a single store in NJ.

Redskins speed mini helmets (unsigned) are going crazy on eBay

Another BOLO thanks to the cancel culture Mrs Butterworth's bottles. Bought a couple of them today.

Also ended up with about 30 1990s shirts mostly Nascar for 10.00.

Well, you do only have 30 listings so that is probably an issue. When I get in a draught, I post new items or take down old items, hit "sell similar" and then post it back up just to get fresh eyes on it. Usually ends up with a sale being made with in a day or two.

Also, it looks like some items could be cropped a little better. Some of your items look very "distant". The Washington Redskins jacket, which is really nice, looks rather far away and not easy to see. I'd try taking that one down first, cropping it to bring it more to the forefront and then re-listing to see if that helps and then repeat with other listings.

really helpful thank you!

when you say "fresh eyes" because people mostly search on newly listed, right?

Lots of people have saved searches that show new items that pop up under certain keywords. Also yes it would cycle the listing back to newly listed.

On the clothing, take more pics. Take pics of the buttons or snaps, cause people want to see chipping. Take pics of the tags inside, take closeups of the logos. In the descriptions list any flaws you find, or if there are no flaws (stains, pulls, pilling, chips, cracks on irons ons etc.) Say so. Lay the coat or shirt flat, and measure pit to pit, and from the bottom of the collar to bottom of item. In the description, type Pit to Pit measures 28" length is 30" or whatever it is. Im half tempted to buy that skins jacket and make a profit lol.

You can have it for 30$

But thanks is for the input I was not showing all the details that people actually want to see, for me I would never wear it but the buyer will and that’s something I wasn’t thinking about.
Great tips guys

Mah, I dont want to sit on it. Being a skins fan, or a ???? Fan now, It would end up in my closet till I lose 30 lbs, which would be never. Here is a description on an Orioles starter I have listed as an example of what has worked well for me.

Baltimore Orioles Vintage Starter USA MLB Diamond Collection Satin Jacket L 90's. Condition is Used there are no snags or pulls, loose threads etc. The only flaws I can find are some chipping on the buttons from the washer, and some small marks on the back bottom of the right sleeve as seen in pictures. Pit to pit is 26 inches and length is 28"#@#@ Shipped Free with USPS Priority Mail.

In my opinion I would get a scanner for the cards and scan them in. The clothing needs to be zoomed in more & there are a few listing that could use more words in the title. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Not just that when items sit they drop in search ranking. The more views it gets the more the system feels there is an issue with the item so it drops it making it lower on the best match and subject to more brownouts. Ending and selling similar resets that algorithm.

I'll add a couple things among what others have said. With 30 listings you probably just aren't going to see many sales, unless they are highly desirable items. I use to sit on like 60-70 items listed and only sell a couple a week. You will see an uptick at certain thresholds, if you are listing the right items. For example I'm around 300-400 active listings most times and I see an average of 4-5 sales a day. Lots of variables there, but since I can't get out as much as other sellers I tend to list a little higher and not settle for too cheap of offers. The more you have the better deals you can give due to the volume.

Part of my problem was I was also picking up items that weren't desirable or that were flooded on eBay (basic polo ralph lauren, tommy bahama items, etc). Another thing to look at when picking up items is sell through. If you look up the Redskins Swingster Jacket you have, the sell through is just horrible. 1 sold jacket in the past 3 months and that is even with the recent Redskins gear uptick. I would guess more people looking for a starter or chalk line branded one. It may sell just may take a long while. And yeah pictures will really sell your product, that's basically all people have to go off when buying your item. Best of luck to you!

Your Hank Aaron card listing is a bit misleading. You don't mention it's a 2019 reprint card. And based on comparable sales, ebay value is probably only in the $2 to $5 range.

Good luck!

Great insight about expectations, thanks a lot.

Fixed, you right about adding a complete tittle.

About the price, I think the other numbered cards from this set are around 6 to 19 $ this one a 13$ obo is a fair price if sold around 10

You listed the 1990 Jose Uribe as "PSA 10" yet there is no evidence that it is graded and there is no PSA holder shown.
