Just a thought - Why don't you buy postage supplies online in bulk? E.g. butchers paper 10m x 760mm for $17.49 delivered, all you need is a craft knife to cut it. I found Bunning supplies dearer than any of the online stores I buy supplies from and I get them delivered. Poly bags, boxes, padded bags, bubble wrap etc. I have a small room for all my Ebay stuff, but it all fits if you are inventive 😁
If you're a hobbyist or a collector, you know right from the start what is good and what will sell for a high price. The problem is, you will tend to keep all the really high-value items for your own collection. That's why it makes sense to sell items you don't care for, even if you have to learn everything from scratch.
Suggestion-Your phone has a Notes feature. Instead of forgetting things when you go out, put them in your notes then you’ll have everything you need with you my memories not so good anymore either and notes has saved me many times.
Just a bit of knowledge for you: The blue heelers seasons that you have are the original release. Blue heelers was released originally and then they stopped making it. Then about 10-12 years later they released new editions of the series. The one that you have is worth more than the new release :)
Listing fuel: Ginger beer 🍺 I’m seriously considering dropping tracked shipping for lower priced sales. I’m a bit nervous but it makes $$ sense. . I’m about to take delivery of a huge haul of DVDs, CDs and books from two households that are combining and declutterring. It will all be in mint condition 🎉 Loads of TV series, likewise the books will be sets by various authors so I’m looking forward to going through it all. Best of all it’s all free!
Great Hats Matt! I want to wish you GOOD LUCK WITH SALES THIS BLACK FRIDAY WEEKEND! Hope you hit your goal!! So happy that Courtney is doing much better! She’s such a sweet heart! New Zealand sounds like an exciting place to check out! You think they’ll be flea markets and thrift stores there? 😁. Take care! Another great video! thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much Karen! Will keep you updated on how it goes. NZ would be fun! I’ve heard mixed reviews about the thrifting over there! Might be fun to check out though! Appreciate all your support as always 😄
I’d say good luck again with your Black Friday sales but I watched this after it started and I’ve already been in shopping just after it started. Got some great bargains especially River Monsters, my daughters and I are huge fans of the show. I’m still watching your shop. I’ve never been to NZ either, would be great footage from there from the clips I’ve seen of it on travel sites. Lots of work ahead for both of you with listings and packing orders.
Hey thanks for the great content just wanted to see if you could put up the Microsoft excel spreadsheets that help you keep track of sales. I remember seeing them in an earlier video. When Courtney first started her business. Even a video on how to make them would be super helpful.
I feel for you on tracking - canada has been expensive for a while and is actually getting cheaper with ebay negotiating rates (finally) but the US, UK and AUS rates are going up steadily now and ours have held for the last 5 years (holding my breath) but this actually is starting to allow me to compete internationally
Thanks so much! Umm Courtney have abit of an update in a previous vlog. She moved house and lost the storage space to continue. Sells sporadically now and the focus is to go full time with me 😄
You might need a once a month restock of all your bulk supplies so you’re not running out and running to the shops. I never need to buy bubblewrap the amount of people who give it away for free in bulk on Facebook is crazy. Though I am in a smaller city then Gold Coast so driving to get it is no issue. I’ve never in 4 years paid for bubblewrap. Also keep all my boxes from anything I buy. That’s my savings on supplies
Hey Matt how do you post your padded mailers? theres no prepaid ones and i dont see an option on auspost orders just flat rate boxes and flat rate satchels and use my own box packaging?
Shopping always means ~ Make a LIST.. on your phone or pencil & paper ~ But a LIST is Important.. It is part of your Business.. Don't waste: Energy, Gas, & Unproductive Time..
I tried to report a non-paying buyer just before... but now it's not possible to do that any more. All you can do is cancel the sale and relist the item. I don't think you even get your fees back.
NZ thrift is expensive! , i think the south island has better stuff from memory , but living in Auckland , not a single thrift shop is fair price. I was at red cross the other day looking for personal stuff and a Shein hoodie was tagged for $25 so. there is also a strong resale vintage clothing market here so second hand stuff is expensive for the most part
Whenever I come over to Auckland to see the family I bring an extra bag Carry on size) to take my op shops items back. I have had some good luck, mainly at the small Op Shop in Mangere Bridge and a few here and there around Mangere and Onehunga. I've never tried further afield though.
Hey mate love the vids. I’m looking in going part time eBay selling. How do you account for tax here is Aus? I know eBay doesn’t automatically take it like a conventional job. How do you know how much to put aside for tax time? Thanks keep up the good work?
Hey mate would you recommend eBay business acct or private for flipping? I'm not looking to do it full time but to try save 10k from it within 12 months.
For what’s it’s worth, I’m now averaging $1k per month part time flipping. I haven’t signed up for a store/s. I have two eBay accounts one for books and (now) DVDs and CDs etc, the other for a bit of everything eg. plus sized clothing, vintage anything, and I’ve just begun selling collectable liquor items such as jugs, crocks, ashtrays and so on from Johnny Walker, Galliano etc. I keep a ledger for each account with costs and income etc. I like that I’m not paying eBay any more money than I absolutely have to as a part time seller. By keeping track of my costs I will know at a glance if and when it’s time to upgrade to a shop. But for now, I have all I need within the Seller’s Hub. I can’t run sales or offer coupons but there are other ways to make your items attractive to buyers.
You do realise it’s completely against eBay’s terms to be operating as a private seller when your a business?? Surprised you’ve gone this long without eBay making you switch to a business account, must be going under their radar, how you’ve got an eBay channel about running an eBay business when your not even a registered business seller is baffling to me
We're prepped and ready for Black Friday weekend. I'll record throughout the 4 days and publish the results in a new video next week. Wish us luck! :)
I have that exact Green Bay packers Super Bowl hat and mine is actually brand new as well
No way! Such a sick hat!@@realhunny
@@TheAussieFlipperdefinitely, mines just been hanging up where I do my listing because I can’t decide if I wanna sell it or keep it
keep itttt@@realhunny
Best Wishes for You!!! 🤗♥️👍🙏🏼
Courtney deserves way more credit! Life of full time ebay sellers. : ) She seems like the back bone of your business.
I don't know.. I feel I let her know how valuable / appreciated she is

Good idea!
Ikea Mala Drawing Paper Roll is only $6 and you get 30m width 45cm

This does make a lot of sense!
Glad you started printing letter labels, I had a hard time watching Courtney fill them out by hand haha.
It was about time hay!
Can't wait to see how you do this weekend. Fantastic luck
Thanks so much Linda!
Good luck with the 4 day blowout sale!!! Love the longer format videos!!!
Thanks so much for tuning in Davey! Preciate you man!

Is Courtney still working in her eBay store? Loving the long videos to

Japan!! Japan has amazing thrift stores, great place to go too!

My listing fuel is McDonalds frappe ‘ good luck guys let’s go 4K !! Smash it!!!!
Ooooo I love it! Thanks so much mate!
Speaking of expenses why don't you buy your shipping supplies in bulk to get the discounts from Australia Post?
I usually buy in bulk. Not sure what you mean by bulk but 1-2 weeks worth at a time
I tried to report a non-paying buyer just before... but now it's not possible to do that any more. All you can do is cancel the sale and relist the item. I don't think you even get your fees back.
Yep I just cancel

@@lmp8932 yes I have heard maybe very far out of the city might have some good ones , however not possible for me to go all that way out of the city
Mangere Bridge is only 8km from the city centre! @@webapple1
If you do Sydney, what about Melbourne and surrounding areas, even as far down as Frankston
It's not out of the question
That NHL cap was Minnesota wild 👍👍
Id go the 4XL all day long. Generic labels are 1/10th of the price but cant use them on the 5xl

Sour warheads from back in the day when they were actually really sour !!
Niceeee
Some nice looking hats there Matty and there going to do alright i reckon 👍🇦🇺🦘
what that lovely watch Courtney is wearing? And who is the Steve guy she’s talking about?
Whoop is the fitness band and Steve Bartlett is the investor. He has a podcast Diary of a CEO on TH-cam and we are a little obsessed :)
@@TheAussieFlipper thanks, I enjoy watching entrepreneurs. Surprisingly I haven’t come across this guy yet. I’m onto it though!!!
I noticed Rich Roll has a Whoop band. His interviews are amazing!
"Courtney's my other big expense..." (20:19) 🤣
Courtney watching this back >>> 😬
Don't cut back on Courtney!!! 😇
No way! She's too valuable!
@@TheAussieFlipper: Correct answer! 💯
Hope you're smashing it this Black Friday, mate! 👍
Hey mate would you recommend eBay business acct or private for flipping? I'm not looking to do it full time but to try save 10k from it within 12 months.
I don't think it really matters all that much. I'd just get cracking on listing as many good quality items as possible!
For what’s it’s worth, I’m now averaging $1k per month part time flipping. I haven’t signed up for a store/s. I have two eBay accounts one for books and (now) DVDs and CDs etc, the other for a bit of everything eg. plus sized clothing, vintage anything, and I’ve just begun selling collectable liquor items such as jugs, crocks, ashtrays and so on from Johnny Walker, Galliano etc.

literally had no idea. happy to swap over to biz...@@step9624
@@step9624 what's the big difference between the 2? I've literally just listed my first item this morning and this is all new to me
Sour Coca Cola bottle lollies 😊
Oooo nice one!
What not get Matt on the app !
Yessirrrr
We heard her say it but shes so cute its hard to roast her
If you come to Perth, you can buy my dvd's I have thousands...
Can’t say no to that!
surely you 2 are together? If not you should be 🤣😂
We're friends and are lucky enough work together too. I think we make a pretty good team
This channel has turned into a romance between Matt and courtney
Has it though? haha
Yep I see the same energy between you two as Mel and Thom!!!
Have cortney text you the shopping list. That way it’s in your face
This would have been a much smarter alternative haha next time!
Wait wait wait, I'm all confusion. Is it stussy or stussy??
Are you to a couple? Dating??
Was wondering the same
yes, there was a lot of "we" at the back end of todays vlog!
Pretty sure theyre a couple
WE work together :) and plan to for a whole while longer!
