    Hello! I just recently came across your channel and absolutely love your style of presenting a no-nonsense approach with your information. I have been on EBAY for 20yrs but just recently decided to start taking the selling part of it seriously. The best part of your channel is, "We are sellers not storage"! I catch myself saying that every time I go through my death pile! Thanks for all you do!

    The PureWick does NOT go into the body at all - that is why it is called an EXTERNAL catheter. It is kind of like wearing a pad but the base unit sucks all of the liquid from the pad. Hope that isn’t TMI for people!🤣

    Hi Jennifer, I have been selling on eBay Canada since 2000, over the years they have constantly "adjusted" what is allowed and not allowed, so don't worry, you will have it happen sometimes. We don't have bins or Goodwill or Savers here and...since everything is covered in ice for months on end, garage sales are only about a 3 month thing here. It is very challenging, also our Canadian Postal System is much more pricey than USPS. I am glad you have all these sources you mention and, you are smart. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Yet there’s a store mind you that sells ONLY out of date vitamins and such ..EBay really confuses ME! Am I the only one so confused 🫤!?

    I don't think the tear in the plastic on the booster box is as important as the haggler led you to believe. It's the classic negotiating tactic of pointing out flaws to lower the price even if they aren't actually relevant. With booster boxes it's important to remember that it's mostly just a container for the booster packs, which are more important than the box. Even still more important than the pack is the cards inside. So if a pack has a tear in it but you can tell it's still never been opened, it still retains most of it's value since it's really all about the cards at the end of the day.
    There are some exceptions of course where selling the full box would net you the most profits, but typically selling the packs individually would be the most profitable way to sell them, as is the case here. A very conservative estimate for a factory sealed pack is $30, so times 12 is $360, but upwards of ~$500.
    I hope this is helpful, it was still a very good flip, but you probably just helped out another flipper on the other side. I like to do that from time to time anyways.

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  6 месяцев назад +1

      Great info thank you! I honestly was still thrilled with almost $300. Even if he was tricking me 🫣 I am totally fine being the middle man from time to time as well. I got them so cheap to begin with. Next time I'll stand my ground 💪

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  6 месяцев назад

      Aw thank you so much. So my goal is to get my Friday listings up within 48 hours. Because I'm spending so much up front I want my return quick. I have a little pile of stuff that I've collected from yard sales that are smaller profits and I don't get those listed as fast. Not as motivated lol. On macari I usually charge shipping sometimes I'll do free It really depends on comps. Kind of the same on eBay if everyone is selling it with free shipping you have to do the same.

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  5 месяцев назад

      Sell things people want. Base your listings on items that sell fast and you will than sell them fast. My best tip, Sell Through Rate! Go for items that have more SOLD than available and those items will fly off the shelves! Buy what sells, not what you like :) :) Once I changed that mindset my business took off to the moon 🚀! Best of luck!

  • @MissusTayIor
    @MissusTayIor 6 месяцев назад

    Hey can you help me understand the odd prices? I have always wondered if there is some sort of psychology behind it. I know large retail stores like to use odd prices instead of whole numbers but have you found the odd prices sell better than whole prices????? Thanks!

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  6 месяцев назад +1

      Absolutely/! So yes it comes down to marketing. Someone somewhere down the line said it works so we do it 🤣 I personally haven't tested but I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    • @MissusTayIor
      @MissusTayIor 6 месяцев назад

      @sellers I may have to give it a try on a few of my listings to see. At one point I did some research on it when I was selling on etsy AND ebay and it said that etsy shoppers like odd numbers and ebay shoppers like whole numbers. Maybe age demographic? That is the ONLY reason I have used whole numbers. 😂

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  6 месяцев назад

      That's a very big possibility. On the age. Another big reason I do it is to be the cheaper of the listings. So if there's three items listed at $25 items listed at 2499 I list mine at 2490 I always end mine with the $0.90 so when others are at 95 cents or 99 cents I beat them in price. It's very minuscule but when people sort by price cheapest on then my listing would go about theirs. So that's my personal reason but I'm sure there's a lot of marketing behind it too 😜

  • @rachelgosine6972
    @rachelgosine6972 6 месяцев назад

    How do you price the items ?

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  6 месяцев назад

      Great question. When you find the item you're selling you filter to sold and can see what the item has been selling for. I've usually priced within a few bucks of the last sold 😁
