Being a Professional photographer by trade, I agree with you on the 35 mm cameras. The only market for those older film cameras are if you are a photographer and a collector of "older" vintage cameras that you may want to display in your home or studio. Other than that, there isn't much value to them. When I made the switch to full digital, I had a Canon Rebel film camera that I tried to sell on eBay. Nobody wanted it. I couldn't give it away. These kind of cameras (not the really older ones) usually end up in a thrift store selling for $3.00. Thanks for the video. Very informative. Good advice.
Good video overall, and great advice for NEW sellers. No on handbags for the reasons you say. No on Carnival Glass for the reasons you say. No on Wedding Dresses for the reasons you say ... but there is a way to market them. No on Cribs and Baby Seats for the reasons you say. Pine Cones, Wine Corks, and TP Rolls can be LUCKY sells at times, and they cost nothing ... sooooo there's a chance. I'd go lots of 10 or so, at $2 plus $5 shipping, and test the market before going all in. *Additionally, I would COMPLETELY Dissect a Successful SOLD Listing of these, and play copycat all day long. No on Electronics for the reasons you say. On the flip side, some of these things are very dependent on the purchase price, marketing (subject line, description, and pictures). Of note: Board Games (even parted out) can be big money, but you have to have an eye and know how to do comps, and look for the EXACT version of the game you have in hand before purchasing. Cameras (Lenses Especially), can be MASSIVE money at times, but you HAVE to buy dirt cheap ($1-$3 per piece) until you know what you are looking for.
I guess the issue is I only have one lot. I'm assuming you have many. It still hasn't sold. The ones I put in the video did not sell for much. So, I'm not going to buy any more to list. I've learned my lesson.
Blogs are the worst place to get advice for anything. It is common practice to hire someone on sites like Fiverr to produce blogs for cheap so that the owner of the blog site can collect affiliate commissions on products and or services that are being offered on the blog page. in almost every case, they these blogs are being produced by people with 0 experience and are writing these blogs after very minimum research. Again the goal isn't to actually educate the reader, its to get you to click on a link that takes you to a product or service that they hope will convert you so they get the affiliate commission. Please don't use blogs for relationship, health or financial advice.... ever....

Thanks for watching and thanks for replying. You make some very valid points. I'm glad you're in agreement with me on almost everything.
Great information!

I have sold many lots of corks for some descent money. What are you doing wrong that yours is not selling?
