This was interesting.

Super helpful video. I knew about Playle but not the rest of the dating charts. I admit, I was a bit gobsmacked by the price you got on the last postcard. It's one I might have passed over or sold for just a few dollars, in the past.

Great info! Thanks for sharing, Daniel ❤

Excellent vid!

I don't know why ebay doesn't have Dexter on the publisher drop down? They were the OFFICAL postcard of the NY World's Fair 1964-65 very informative video

You gave out some really good info tonight. This will save me a lot of time looking up the dates. Side note: I received your brothers book today and my husband stole it from me immediately. He's a huge Sci-fi guy and is already nose-deep into the book. Thank your brother and thank you for the post cards!

I am fairly new to postcard collecting and selling. This was a huge help and really help increase my knowledge. I will email you to get a copy of the Wayne Paper Box document. Thank you for sharing.

How to date postcards? I have always used chocolate and flowers to get a good date.

Lol! I've done a video myself for 10-15 minutes before I realized it wasn't recording! I thought it was the only one...

I do a minimum of three photos per postcard listing, one is always a zoom in of something interesting. I always felt eBay favors listings with three or more images

I love selling postcards with postcard racks!

I've never considered the Wayne Paper Box cards as chromes, because of the printing dots. But that's just me and I'm not an expert on them..

Great resources!

Im still using the canon imageformula R40. On year 4 with it now, works great but dont have the boarder, diffidently need to switch it up soon

Every time I list things on ebay it gets maybe 20 clicks and I get a bunch of people watching who have no intentions of buying anything. The general clientele is also poor - neve let people pick things up. Then there is the work of posting something and ebay's fees. On top of that is the way ebay works - messages can't be deleted and you can't tell if they've been viewed. Moderation is also always in the buyers favor and you virtually can't leave negative feedback anymore. Most people just use Facebook marketplace now and use cash. Ebay is dead, buried and cremated.

I wonder if the seller with the Santa card crossed off "merry" because they had a box of New Hampshire postcards... PS- I grew up in NH, so feel free to send those cards my way. 😂

Thank you for you advice, I was just about to register with them, and you saved me a lot of money, and a lot of headaches.

I love taking pictures, then do the eBay ad right on my smartphone, so convenience, my photos look great! And it's fun. I can type faster on my phone but that's just me

Interesting a scanner video went into X being an expletive. All politics aside because that is what you subliminally meant, less social media for everyone is the real answer to everything not being an expletive. That said, scanner settings can be really confusing.

I bought a ES500 Epson Scanner and it does the same as a 400 except it’s wireless. Perfect scans every time.i got mine from a from a resell it shop who bought a pallet from Amazon and the box had an oil spot on it. It was brand new and I offered $175.00 for it and they took it.

hi, do you have a video onpacking and shipping postcards?

Hi, anymore lots?

Greetings from New Hampshire! It was funny as hell listening to you railing on N.H. It’s too bad that there really doesn’t seem to be any serious card collectors here, because New Hampshire has a lot of great cards. Lake Winnipesaukee, the mountains, ski resorts, the coast, small towns, etc. I actually don’t understand it. Anyway, let me know before you burn all of your N.H. postcards. I’ll take them off of your hands. Haha!

I've never heard of bluesky, looks sorta like Tumblr. Do you pin your ebay listings to Pinterest?

I hve been going through some old papers of my parent s and came across some postcards by Arbuckle's Ariosa Coffee Company out of New York. They are of different states with different venues: a sugar plantation in Louisana, a winter resort in Florida, etc. How do I find the monetary value of these?

Hi, what is your ebay store called?

Yep, you're absolutely correct

Quick tip: if you're struggling to find info or have foreign cards with words you can't understand, you can use Google lense, I found not only will it translate on the photo itself, but has other tools to help search out related images. So if you get a card with no writings at all, you can image search it and find other documentation on it and usually can figure out the location or what the image is. Just thought I'd throw that out there, I'm currently working on rppc from other countrys and some I couldn't figure out the locations, a quick pic on Google and I had all kinds of results that helped me title my listings.

Bid on a razor for that neck, man.

I have the 580w. The vertical lines that I have are scratches from accidentally putting a card with glitter through it. Only appears on the bottom glass.

Do you still plan to sell cards on Whatnot?

Hot take- I love the folks who show the postcard sooooo far away from the camera because it makes my listings more competitive/stand out :)

How do you isolate your older inventory for your sale? Do you have to use individual SKU numbers,dates etc?

I wonder if your buyer who offered $75 wasn't a 'watcher' so he never received the 'offer' you had sent out...

After Ebay fees, what do you make on a $1.27 ? anything? Thanks. Good video...

The $1227.68 that you see there is not a true net sales figure. What you have there is gross sales (minus) selling (aka eBay + postage) expenses. That means that the difference between those numbers ($530.07) is ~30% of your Gross sales as eBay related sales expense. In order to calculate a true net amount, you'd also have to subtract your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) aka what you paid for the merchandise you're selling, and your overhead expenses such as rent/utilities, etc. your shipping supplies, office supplies and equipment, etc. With a 30% marketing cost (not atypical for an eBay seller - yours aren't unusually high from what I've seen), the business is going to live or die based on how LOW you can purchase goods, how HIGH you can sell them, and hope that you don't have a lot of shrinkage (damages, unsellable customer returns, etc.) ..... Come to think of it: I've never asked anyone at eBay before, but I wonder if return costs are included in the "Net" figure they are showing, or if they are expecting the seller to keep track of that and deduct those dollars from the Profit and Loss statement by hand. I have very few returns in any given year, so the calculation is insignificant here.

eBay's already dead, these days people just use FaceBook Marketplace for everything, and it's free.

Thanks!

My first cards I posted this year as Modern Day Continentals. Started them all at $5 and I've been slowly over this year working the way down to $2.50.

I just did a 25% discount as well. We will see in two weeks.

Hi great video. Thanks. I have some old postcards will need to go through them.

I sell flatware like you sell postcards. I typically have all my inventory on sale for 10% off and have an active 10% off coupon. Just for fun I changed the sale to 20% off and cancelled the coupon. Sales doubled. Literally double. The key to success on Ebay is to make changes monthly. Change it up!

I don't know why, but for some reason, this video was TWICE as good as your other ones. 🤣😂. Thanks so much for the work you do on gathering the postcards shows and the shoutout to Wichita, Western New York and San Jose clubs.

I dont sell postcards but ive been interested in history my entire life and ive done a fair amount of research. Every now and then i see a postcard that reminds me of an old newspaper or diary i discovered in my studies. I was lucky but also worked hard to attend one of the top universities in the world that has an extensive collection of original source materials. Arguably all colleges at that level are interesting but some of these libraries are unique just like postcards. My mom was an italian immigrant and a lot of people dont know about how much they were hated in this country way into the 20th century. My fathers family emigrated during the irish potato famine. Same story but they were able to become accepted into society a little easier. Not always but the language helped. I saw a comment about politics and i dont mean to criticize the person because they sound upset. But postcards are representative of our past and it is a shared history like it or not. But a lot of people here dont want to be in a classroom and i get it. But i love it.

Thanks for another great video! I found the Wichita Postcard Club TH-cam channel a few months ago - WOW -great content - I have watched just about every video and learned SO MUCH! I had no idea about the "discrimination" postcards until I watched the video. I still have not found any but I'm always on the lookout for them.

Great video, love the Wichita club videos also, thanks!

No more politics 😭

❤❤❤❤

I need postcards in bulk, Are you selling any in the near future?

Do you use media boxes (DVD storage boxes) to store your postcards? I use postcard storage boxes.
