    we used to host a yard sale and we always did very well with ebay unsold but i tired of keeping shelves full of dead weight in the garage. every time i looked at it, i was reminded of another failed ebay item
    here’s my advice…
    let it gooooooooo
    years ago we stopped holding onto it
    instead when the pile starts to mount up
    we take it to the thrift store
    yes we’re “losing”‘money on not reselling at the yard sale but we’re also done with them
    we’re FREE of the burden
    & psychologically it’s much better for you
    Clean your plate & move on you’ll be free of the dead weight

    Pete I'm a roofer for 35 years now. That type of leak is usually caused by a break in the seam of the cap metal on the Parapet wall. It's an easy fix with some high grade roof caulking going over the seams on the wall cap metal.

Roof was replaced about 5 years ago and they chose to abandon the $$$ scuttle (roof hatch) so access was by ground ladder or other means only. It's going to be interesting to see how it works out. Previously the building occupants could check the drain - if they thought of it.

      Lol 😂🤣Keep trying to sell on ebay or like I do if its been around on ebay to long then its going to go into to my garage sale pile, and if they don't sell at the garage sale, After the garage sale I post on Facebook and other posts Free Garage Sale Items or Sometimes when I don't want to deal with selling it at the garage sale, it will get donated to the thrift store. Its such a good feeling to get rid of it let me tell ya!!

    • @cheriesmith2948
      @cheriesmith2948 Год назад

      I also forgot there are times if a item is stale and not selling for months/years on ebay, I will put that stale item/not selling item in a lot of a few or more items together on ebay and then they sell so try that! I wouldn't try to do that with heavy items, putting them in a lot as shipping costs would be expensive and charging big shipping fees turns off customers. So you could probably do that locally (selling a few heavy items as a lot) then selling on Facebook or some local place in your area to free up your inventory and make some profit in the end! Yeah Baby there is so many ways to free up your stale inventory and make the profit and in the end if you don't want to deal with it just let it go for free or donate it! Or again garage sale! Love the reselling business its just like the stock market so fickle UP and DOWN Lol!

    • @cheriesmith2948
      @cheriesmith2948 Год назад

      The only thing is Pete has countless and various items to sell in how many categories? SO MANY! His different items are endless! His niche would be a little complicated because of his broad inventory. I think what he would have to do is maybe start out for example ( this is just example) in the music category on whatnot if that is what he wanted to start out selling, and then as that inventory starts selling out he would announce a different category of items he wants to sell etc etc. Although a little complicated with his endless different inventory I honnestly believe Pete would be so successful on whatnot, he would make a killing! But then again I am Actually thinking for starters if Pete sold on whatnot he could or should be selling in 2 different categories on whatnot in a week, yes at least 2 different categories in a week. And of Course Pete would have to share his backround to the whatnot community that are in his live auctions! Again you would be appreciated and enjoyable for whatnot buyers! Again a Hit and Success!

    Your HP 96A cartridges are all over E-Bay for $20-$25 for free shipping, so you will never sell it for $30. You probably just misresearched your Frogger game. On Atari, you might get $150-$200 for a sealed copy, less with torn cello. So if you paid $70, that is probably what you thought you were buying.
    Yours was for the Intellivision. Those are $30-$40 sealed, again without torn cello. Yours is worth maybe $25.
    If you are a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none, these kind of mistakes will happen. That's part of the business.

    I work on Printers and sell spare cartridges as well. That HP 96A is from an out dated printer from the early 2000s so most likely it's so obsolete that almost all are not in use anymore. Also that box graphics is out dated, HP changed to a black/white box (box design helps me know what to not resell vs resell).
    They don't last forever even sealed, likely the rubber blade that cleans the drum is dried up by now and that cartridge would be defective out of the box from age. If I saw that I'd pass on it as well even for a resale item, there is a build date on the back HP stamps on most of the boxes but it can fade out over time (I usually resell 3-4 years max of that date).

      Positive ratings quite literally mean jack all about how much you win or lose on an item lol but yes, I would of thought it safe to assume any good re-seller wins more often than they lose. Even so that doesn't mean that you don't buy a ton of items that don't make very much or next to anything at all. Great re-sellers make good money but they're not getting rich quick, that's the reality.
