    When you ship Pirate Ship cubic amounts under a cubic foot do matter though. So be accurate on the dimensions when using pirate ship cubic y’all. Lonnie has mentioned this before but just wanted to remind everyone. Greatest videos for new resellers Lonnie and Candace. You are a great resource for the community.

    Are your shelves adjustable? you should take out the very bottom shelf and have the bins on the floor to slide out rather than on the top shelf that you have to take down every time you sell an item. They would then be like a draw you pull out to store clothing, shoes and other large multiple items in.

    • @shedflips

      I actually took the bins down yesterday and put the items in smaller boxes. It's much more manageable now.

    Just for laughs, I looked up annual sales for the pet industry. They went from $50.9 million in 2011, to $109.5 million in 2021! This, they said, is largely due to the pandemic and it's starting to level off. Good news is all those new pets still need to be dressed, lol.

    Build-a-Figs: if you do open the packs, consider sending the cardboard insert (with the artwork/description) along with the item, but scrap the plastic. The insert would be useful and not add much size/weight to the package.😉

    • @brianhenry2385
      @brianhenry2385 Год назад

      If the graphic info (not the comic) is affixed to the plastic, cut away just that section of the plastic, like you did the Monster High Dolls, so it can be sent along.
      I do that when a commercial part that arrives in a mangled box, but the part and box’s label are intact. The box label has good reference info like: Model, serial, batch, year, etc, that might be useful to the buyer. 😉

    Phones are fine for what they are--multi-purpose tools--but nothing beats the ease of use of a piece of equipment that has only one purpose in life! I mislaid my camera charger during an office move about a year ago but resisted buying as replacement because I knew it would turn up somewhere in one of the multitude of bags and boxes and I could 'temporarily' work with my phone. 6 months later the charger finally surfaced (in a bag I had *definitely* checked months earlier) so ready to go but... I then couldn't find the camera that I remembered putting in a 'safe place' so I definitely wouldn't forget where it was. Fast forward 3 months and I finally founds it hiding at the back of my sock drawer, I only found it because I was inspired to sort out the dozens of odd socks living there (am I the only one whose washer seems to delight in stealing socks? 23 unmatched socks accumulated over 12 months).
    Oh the joy of having an easily located physical shutter release rather than a touch screen 'button', and proper manual settings and decent white balance and centre weighted exposure control so my white background can happily burn out while the subject stays properly lit. Even having the option of a graticule on screen so I can avoid the dreaded (well I dread it) perspective distortion.
    I blame my obsession on the technical photography course I took at university 50+ years ago. Our tutor would take a set square to the prints we had, literally, taken hours to set up, shoot, develop and print, then get out his blue marker to highlight errors. Working in pairs we could spend half an hour sweating under the hood of a large format (8 x 10) plate camera setting all the planes to avoid distortion for a single product shot then another ten minutes to set the lighting to avoid glare and shadows before we even loaded the film plate. Just the thought of staring at that ground glass screen still sends shivers down the spine. But I just can't stand it when squares turn into trapezia, even though it is a fairly easy fix in the edit (that's the edit I promised I wouldn't waste time on...). Well, while I'm fixing perspective I can also adjust the white balance, knock out (one by one) those dust flecks on the back cloth, just bring up the shadow detail a bit and... oh dear, that's another 5 minutes gone on 'improvements' that not one person in a hundred will even notice.
    Joy, I'm finally back to a quick crop being the only post-shoot edit needed.
    TLDR?: Phones are OK but you can't beat a 'real' camera for ease of use.

    • @shedflips
      @shedflips  Год назад

      Couldn't agree more. I really got into photography about 20 years ago and it was an obsession for about 10 years. Funny thing is that the reason I stopped is because I took a part time job as a second shooter. I'd shoot a wedding a month or so, and would get a flat $350, which was pretty good at the time. As soon as my hobby started making me a little money I fell out of love with it. Kinda weird.

    I'm sure it's painful to open a packaged figure from 2006, they do sell better loose. There are more collectors wanting specific figures that don't want to pay premium for a sealed package. 90% of my inventory is loose figures and I can sell 10+ of the same figure before it ever sells sealed. Sealed stuff I carry is only 90s and older or NECA/collector focused toys.
