I am disabled and waiting for a double lung transplant. I learned about auctions from watching your videos and do all my sourcing like that. Thank you for teaching us❤
You're so welcome I'm happy to help
Hi Lori, Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. My sister Kat, received a double lung transplant in 1997, at Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston. I was amazed at the technology then and am sure that in 2024, you will do well. All the best to you!
Love and prayers❤to you LoriScot . Yes, Kat is so dynamic.
Thanks so much for doing these videos. After watching you so much I decided to take the auction plunge I was afraid to do it but I'm really just buying stuff for myself and my hobby that I usually spend way too much on. My first auction I bid on I won 3 lots at a very cheap price. I am totally enjoying it. I do sell a few things but not much. Mostly to make up what I paid so my stuff is free. You are so enjoyable to watch and have yelped me tremendously. I actually watched one of your videos before bidding in auction. Im hooked now. Thanks so much for your wealth of information and sharing it with us.
Happy to help!
This is so vital for those with limited mobility! Love the inclusive content.
Yes for sure!
I use both Hi-bid & Goodwill. I find great deals on all kinds of items, some very unique. Salvation Army also has a good auction website. Not as large of selection as Goodwill, but same type of auction website. Thanks for referral to the other websites. Your right with Goodwill & the s/h fees. When I 1st used the website, I was like, wtheck? I won auction @$12.00 & my total was $35.00. I paid more for s/h than what I purchased & it wasn't a large item, nor did it weigh a lot. Your right to check shipping before you bid. Great advice that I wouldnt of thought of to say until you said it. Thanks for all your videos & advice.😊
You're very welcome :-)
Another great idea Kat for a video! I really appreciate all the education that you have given us.❤
Glad it was helpful!
This was great! My area does not have a lot of places to source so this will be very helpful. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Kat I love your videos so much! Even the ones that aren’t about jewelry! 😂 😂 💕
Yay! Thank you!
Kat: thank you for all the info! I knew about a couple of these but was happy to hear about the ones I did not know about. As a caregiver for my 90 year old mom it is difficult to go in person to thrifts and estate sales. With that being said you can spend a day out thrifting and not find good items so I like to pick and choose on the auction sites. I have made some mistakes with high handling fees or paying too much on the items but I am doing better! Great video!
Yeah we definitely pay to learn as we go and continually learn and there will be some that we will still mess up on lol it happens
Thanks so much for this info! I've been nervous about trying an auction and this helped educate me a bit more lol. Our local thrifting isn't great but I i love it so much lol it's more of hobby right now ... I'm praying I can make it a part or full time income soon. Love your channel and appreciate the time you take to make these videos!!
Glad it was helpful
Thank you so much for all the information you share!!!!!!! I so much appreciate it!!!!
You are so welcome!
Great video as always, Kat!
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you! This was one of your best! Learned a ton! Have a great weekend!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the information Kat. Sourcing from home is helpful.
You are so welcome!
Problem is, if you buy an item through an online auction you are going to pay the cost of the winning bid and 15%-20% and (in most states) taxes. commission to the auctioneer. Then you have to factor that when you sell an item online, you will have to pay ebay another 20% for using their platform and you will have to factor local sales tax and shipping charges. If your driving to get items gas and your time. If you buy an item through an online auction for $40 you had better be able to sell that item for $110-$120 to make it worth your while.
Also, sourcing every lot In an auction can take days to learn your margins, note auction lots and your max bid you can bid to. Only to maybe not win any lots....lol. This can be a brutal game
It can, but it can also be a very profitable one if you learn it. Typically my pickup hauls yield 5k + in profit and the lots I'm typically less than a dollar in per item ;)
@TheNurseFlipper nice. Do you provide links to your ebay store?
@@AC-fv7kt yes they're in the click to see all my links
@TheNurseFlipper I'm not finding the link on any video including this one. Click on what to see all your links. I found everything thing but a link to your ebay or other selling platforms? I found the masks, and other links.
@@AC-fv7kt linktr.ee/thenurseflipper?ltsid=e99332ee-9e85-45f4-b415-e9aee212c437 my ebay store is near the bottom my name is the same on all platforms
I had not watched for a long time. I forgot how motivated I feel after watching. Going full time now with just my retirement income and I forget to work sometimes 😊
Welcome back!
Thank you Kat! I can't wait to start looking. You always give geat information!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much!!! You have helped me tremendously. I'm getting ready to begin my reselling adventure and my family has been hearing your videos around the clock for months!! You have inspired me to actually try to do this! Thanks again for all the information n commitment!!!
You got this!
Thanks Kat. That was intresting. And something that I have never tried. I like that youve shown the how tos on each site. Very appreciated! Your personal experience & helpful tips makes this something doable to me. I see the importance of checking those extra costs, definitely! That could get someone paying up the kazoo real fast. Overall, I might give shopping an auction a try. Iy looks fun. As always, thanks for all of your time and effort bringing this information to us. Hope you have an awesome day! 😉👍❤
You're welcome I hope you find some good deals!
Thank you for sharing this information with us!
My pleasure!
I use goodwill and always put my zip in to check the estimated s&h before bidding
Great idea
I would point out that if an auction seller intentionally misleads with the items they are selling by failing to disclose significant faults or flaws in an item, this is fraud, and can be disputed through your credit card company. It's a long process, but you do have some recourse against fraudulent sellers.
Thank you Cat. I have been using Hi-Bid some but didn’t know about the others.
You're welcome
Thank you Kat for sharing this information.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing, Kat!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing I only used goodwill because I didn't trust other sites but I'll definitely give these a try.
Yeah these I've used it's alot of different companies but I've not had issues
Hey Kat! I've been buying from Maxsold for a long time. During covid there were a few auctions that offered shipping on smaller items but it's extremely rare. I live in the Atlanta area so there are usually at least a couple of auctions going all the time but lately there seems to be a drought for some reason. I have picked up some really good stuff over the years though. Happy hunting!
Oh I bet you have great sourcing around you!
Thank you Kat so much for all the info
You are so welcome!
Great video! Thanks Kat
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the information!
I love auction ninja. I get a lot of good items from them.
I've looked at it a couple times but haven't bought from there
I won some auctions on CT Bids, picked them up. Whatever didn't sell online, they sold Garage Sale style, picker choice. So I got a picker lot for about $30 for about 60 items. Wedgwood, vintage crystal, linens. So about 50 cents each. 🎉
Nice I've seen that at a couple I went to!
Wow, that’s amazing! I used to work for Caring Transitions, parent company of CT bids. I would go to the prospective clients’ houses and assess what they had for an estate sale. I was so dumb, I was not even thinking about reselling then…
Another great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips! Thank you!❤❤
You are so welcome!
Love this information.. thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Great info!❤
Glad it was helpful!
great video. thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
I had to look up the definition for ‘Lot’. I assumed lots were pre-assembled such as a group/crate/box of many items they are selling for one price. But you are looking at individual items and creating your own lot? If you were to purchase one item or 50 items from the same auction, it’s considered a lot?… if it is under the lot category?
I simply search for lot when I say that I mean I'm buying multiple items at one price from an auction and typically I buy quite a few lots when I do. I don't search using categories only keywords
Great video!!
Thank you 😊
I’m not sure if I got a raced but number one I thoroughly enjoy your videos and trust your opinion. I am relatively new at this and I recently got a Yamaha leather motorcycle jacket in excellent condition but I have no idea how to value it. Do you have any suggestions?
If you can't find it on EBay or terapeak I would try worthpoint
I sell on HiBid and I do not offer shipping. Every single auction I have done there are buyers from other states that win bids. I sell a lot of furniture and I’m definitely not shipping it. Yes, I receive the funds and the buyer does not get their merchandise. However, I’m trying to move merchandise and now I’m stuck with it for another sale. Please check auction details.
You're welcome
You could ship things that are not to difficult to ship.
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Great intro music
Thank you!
Happy to help ☺️
Very interesting, I always feel nervous buying from auctions online, I am a tactile person and feel I have to touch the items.
Yeah it is a different experience for sure
Thank you.❤
You're welcome
My goodness, do you ever sleep? You are a wealth of information!
Yes I do! LOL I've actually been making myself get 8 hours a night :-)
❤I got up the nerve to try HiBid so thank you. It’s a learning curve and I appreciate all the info you openly share. The thing that made me the most nervous at first was the time in between winning the auction/paying and the next communication about shipping. Each auction house seems to do it differently (fast, slow, communicative, mysterious)😅 Do you research the reputation of auction houses/sites? If so how?
I do not ill try them once and depending on that first time I'll decide if I do again
Thank you Kat!! What is that wrap (for ceramics, glasses etc) you showed on one of your video?
Instapak from American Bubble Boy you can use my code Thenurseflipper and get 5% off if you buy some
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
Thanxs Kat
You're welcome :D
Thanks
No problem
Where do you get price estimates if you can not find the item . Lamp, may be sitzendorf, unsure? Thanks for any suggestions.
I just price similiar to items like it.It's rare I buy if I don't have an idea of what it will sell for though
Thank you, it is so adorable, I don't care if it sells or not.
I have an auction house down the street from me that I watch on HiBid but they normall hit ebay or higher prices.
Yeah a few I've seen do that as well
Does CT stand for Caring Transitions?
Yes
Thank you for teaching us so much! Question: If we pay to get won auction items shipped to us, is the shipping considered a tax deduction?
Yes! It is a cost of buying the goods
Awesome!!!! Thank you!
Re: Hibid, have you ever bid and shipped from a company internationally, specifically Canada? Are the shipping charges reasonable or cost prohibitive?
Yes I have but only jewelry so it was lightweight and shipping wasn't bad
So disruptive to my auction bidding and winning.. these videos have been truly detrimental.
I appreciate you think I have that much power . .....
Is there a best day or time to bid on the items? Thank you
I typically try to do it as close to the ending time as possible which depends on the auction house. On shop goodwill early in morning and late at night auctions but on hibid it depends on when they're ending
How do you have quality time for son and family 😮
I make quite a bit. I do have employees that help with ebay. Like week before last we went to 3 Tampa bay rays game and we're going again next week and the nice thing working from home is you can take a break whenever you want
What is Word Point?
Worthpoint is a service that has 10 years of sales history of eBay and other auction sites. It is a paid service, but if you find enough one off items that are rare it is worth trying. It is www.worthpoint.com/partner/32626
Do you ever source on police auctions?
I've watched a few but never bought anything
Do you know if any of these auction sites will take Paypal?
Shop goodwill does but I think that's it the rest all need credit card
Thanks so much for sharing this info
