Been following resellers and came across your channel. You've got great content. I started an ebay account last Sunday, only had 7 items listed and got my first sale today. I'm trying to source more items to list 5 a day. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hey Mike, Happy to see you are still doing good. I have taken, as I will say, the 2nd step gettingvready to sell on ebay. I registered my name on ebay this week. I will buy a few things I need, get together some items to sell and, start selling. So, a couple more steps to go. I feel nervous/happy but real goid about it so far. You are 1 of a few that has inspired me to go for it. Thank you. I will keep watching.
Thanks for the Joann Fabric suggestion. I pick up fanfold pink insulation product from HD or Lowe’s to create additional “walls” in a box. I don’t “recycle” shipping boxes as I encountered a few years ago, denied insurance claim. One of reason for the denial was that I used an old “recycled” shipping box. The other reason was that there wasn’t 2” of packing material surrounding the item.
I received two of those Walking Dead compendiums (volume 2&3) for free. The profit on Amazon is about $12.50 each. I knew I could make about twice as much on EBay. I’m listing them later today….
I do ALL pre boxing even smalls with calculated shipping. I pay very little for my items so Ebay, Mercari, and the USPS can't over charge me on my measurements. It is getting harder and harder to keep up with the rising costs. Thank you Mike! Blessings. K.T.
Fantastic brother, I have a johanna Fabrics about 15 minutes away, headed there tomorrow. Always learning something here, Ill be back. Thanks again, God bless. 5 Buck for that CRAFTSMAN WOW
Great find on the pyrex. Successful pickers look beyond their favorite category and find and flip a lot more stuff. Your "edge" comes from knowing more than the person doing the pricing. Books are the one category where I will sell for $10 or less. First, I typically pay 25 cents for a paperback, so 40X is pretty decent! Secondly, they are super easy to ship. I will often put books together in a lot, so maybe I'll get $25 for 5 or even 10 books. Even 10, if I paid 25 cents each, thats a nice 10X margin. I did buy 100 prepper books for 10 cents each. Nice margin on those!
Your Savers is good still. Ours used to be good down here, but it's burnt now. I don't know what the reason is, if it is resellers or if it is that the good inventory is not hitting the floor.
When I ship board games, I stack two 12x8x10 boxes on top of each other with the game in the middle. You can close the flaps of the inner box to hold the game in place. Stuff some wadded up paper in there, close, tape and you're done.
Great video, preparing a great idea. I started doing a long time ago. After I sold some book to Canada from Australia. I could not get under the 2kgs. The guy at the post office said just rip a couple pages out one of the books. It was very annoying I still made a profit but only five dollars. To see profits going to post office for few grams in weight. As I had to paid for higher postage I wrapped with extra protection. Did Ur team win the football? I hear there is couple Australian teams going to play in Las Vegas in March. A team from my city. You should check it out. Cheers Graham.

Yes, they can deny claims. I had good success on claims. I don't have many.

Yes, some things are much more profitable on Ebay. Thanks for watching.
Is savers the equivalent to a Ollie's? I'm on the East Coast I don't believe we have savers
Not the same. Savers is strictly donations of used home goods.
I do ALL pre boxing even smalls with calculated shipping. I pay very little for my items so Ebay, Mercari, and the USPS can't over charge me on my measurements.
It is getting harder and harder to keep up with the rising costs.
Thank you Mike!

Enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much! Wondered if you had a video showing how to set up your shipping policies?
I really don't have one yet. Good idea though for the future

Yeap, $5. No one asked or they just didn't want to deal with it.
Mike, how do you organize your boxes?
Basically a pile. MOUNT BOXMORE.
vintage pyrex you will get over 1 hundred for that set
Yeap. Love some pyrex.
Link to your packing video with the fabric cores?
Down below in the description of the video.
Fun video, Mike! SJ "neighbor" here. 😁 Keep 'em coming! I learn a lot from you & appreciate your approach. ✌🏼
Thanks for watching.

If I had the space I could really up my book game. Only have so much space and I'm happy doing what I'm doing.

GOOD LORD, I only find 1 of those at a time pyrex vintage here in ohio, Im coming out your way
It's weird how things work. They come in bunches.
Do you buy JoAnn's boxes or ask them if you can grab a few for free?
They are just on the back dock and are free.
Nice Pyrex Haul!
