    The worst thing I dislike about eBay is when buyers don't read the full discription of the item for sale,and then whinge about it after receiving the item and leave bad feedback

    Love seeing Winnie 🥰🥰🥰She’s so gorgeous.. Maybe if the shops
    are not producing scan Facebook for people having garage sales or estate sales during the week . I find there is always something going on somewhere. ☺️

    I ignored DVDs for a very long time. The fact is that the majority of DVDs are worthless. But you have shown me that there is some good money still to be made with the right items. I tend to focus on British TV series and done very well.
    Thank you for the inspiration.

    Winnie steals the show! I can't imagine having no death pile but I could imagine having a lot less than I have now. I have put summer stuff aside but like you am still making sales with it. None of the process is difficult, the buying is the most fun on good days but I wish I could take better photographs. I have the set of lights like yours but my lounge room is quite dark. I'll keep learning & listing. Hope you have better luck on the next thrift trip Matt. 👍🏼

    Listing items and inventory control are my least favorite parts. As I have grown my inventory - have had to reorganize my inventory. I am doing this slowly as I continue to list items each day. Another good video, I did enjoy it. Always love to see Winnie.

    Finally starting looking at the DVDs today because of you! Picked up Tim and Eric sealed - $4.50, listing price $30! Shipping is my least fave part for sure; especially when the thing doesn't go in the AP standard packaging. I do a lot of vintage and refuse to list something until I know what I'm packing it in! Saves headaches.

    Funny enough my least favorite part of re-selling is storing items after I list them 😂😂 love to source, love to list, don’t mind shipping. But as soon as I photograph 20 items it will sit there for a day or two before going into its bins 😂 part of me likes it cuz I’ll sometimes sell some of the items before having to store them away. But lol that that’s my least favorite

  • @davidnorton7464
    @davidnorton7464 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Least favourite part - stocktake time and editing the existing items or ending them. So time consuming when you get up to 9,000+ listings.

    Hey Matt looks like the OP shops are kinda dry right now. Any Flea markets/ garage sales open this time of year? Since you dislike most packaging sold items, maybe play some of you favorite tunes that are uplifting to you while your doing it. Music can give you good energy! Lol and maybe pickup some dance moves! 😂. It’s your place you can do anything you want to ! Love Winnie ! What an adorable sweet dog! No wonder you miss her. Bring her by your place if possible and have her stay the night! Just a few thoughts to share, take care my friend!

    The thing I hate the most.... Photographing anything to do with clothes. So much piss farting around with. Measurements. Laying it out nicely. DVDs are easy. Front, back, Disk, done.
    Scored some good rarer DVDs yesterday at our local recycling centre (The Green Shed). They are a bit more pricey than a lot of the thrifts. Every DVD is $2. Of course this works both ways especially for series. For the $2 entry I don't grab anything unless it gets me at least $15.

    The only part I don't like is what happenend to you today - not enough decent atricles at a reasonable price, I have seven op shops within a 120km radius that I go too. Lifelines prices are ridiculoius e.g. a used Anko T shirt for $6, a pair of ratty Nikes for $50. Salvos are the best and my local church op shop but they are hit and miss. But we keep going, one day that grail or two will turn up :)

    • @TheAussieFlipper
