eBay / Re: Higher Priced Items Still Selling
« on: June 11, 2014, 09:27:27 PM »
When I look for something I want on my mobile phone, I just take the first thing I see that looks reasonable... It's a pain to shop for price on the phone.

Typical Data Center Room.

The problem with first class letter shipping is that it don't have tracking and counts against you for the top seller discount.

Who did you go to, to get the those pieces appraised? I have a lot of pre-columbian pieces i will like to get appraised and I know you live in South Florida.

I'm thinking of donating all the pieces I have so I can get a large tax write off for a few years.

eBay / Re: What's the point of feedback?

You can leave negative feedback in the comments...

So even if it's marked positive you can leave a comment like. 'Beware of buyer, he's a scam artist"

General Storage Auction Talk / Re: useless DVDs
« on: June 06, 2014, 10:03:17 AM »
I was selling used DVD's at a garage sale, some lady came buy and bought them all, she didn't even look at what was on them..

I asked her, how come she didn't inspect them. She tells me, "I use them to scare off the birds and just string them all together"

So yeah, people will buy them...

I bought lockers full of Computers before, you just have to break it all down and scrap them..

1) Computer AC cords, Patch Cables, etc (Is scrapped as Insulated Wire) - I was getting a $1 a lb when I scrapped mine, I think the prices are higher now.
2) The computers casing is just Steel Scrap (You'll need a lot of it to make any type of money, I had 1500 lbs of it the last server locker I did) which is around $180
3) Take out the motherboards and you can sell those by lbs on ebay (People pay about $10 a lb for it) they scrap them for the gold content.
4) Take off all the aluminum heat sinks on the mother board, put that in the aluminum scrap pile.
5) Remove the processors, sell them by the lb on ebay.. (They are scrapped for gold content)
6) Remove all the memory, sell them by the lb on ebay. (Gold Content)
7) Remove all the cards in the slot and sell those by the lb on ebay (gold content)
8 ) Dis-mantle all the hard drives (Aluminum reader, the Platinum Platters, the Magnets) The bottom of the drive is aluminum and the top is stainless steel.. Separate it and sell the magnets and platters on ebay by the lbs.
9) Take out the power supplies, cut the wires into the insulated wire pile, then put the power supply in a separate pile, you'll get like .30 a lb at a scrap yard for it.
10) Any big power supply units with batteries (you will get paid at the scrap yard for the used batteries in it)

So moral of the story, if there is like 50 computers in a locker you got about 4k in scrap in it..

If their is like 3-5 computers, it's not worth the effort.

You can also scrap the computers whole to the yard, but you'll get way less money for it.

Tax needs to be separated out..

It should just be a flat 10% of income, no deductions..

If you go the ebay route with 3 sku's and you should..

Then set it up as a "BUY IT NOW" you can put in 1000 peices or whatever you have for the amount of that sku..

Select "GOOD TO CANCEL" - Try to offer free shipping - just build it into the price..

Take 12 photos (you must take 12)

"Good to Cancel" means when it rolls over to the next 30 days, you don't lose your watchers and the # of items sold (This really makes people feel safe buying it and that it's a good price)

Also ebay give items with a large # of watchers, better search placement.

eBay / Re: EBAY - Slowed down all the Free Listing Promotions.
« on: May 29, 2014, 04:33:46 PM »
They are trying to push people towards store subscriptions..  I have a store and I get the 150 Free listings, but I have like 300 items listed on eBay and a whole lot more I would like to list, but I can't until I get free listings or the sell down the other items I have listed.

My options are to upgrade to a bigger store, which I don't want to do, I don't even want the one I have.. Or wait for promotions..

I personally feel that they are going after the people who are selling under multiple ID's to avoid listing fees..

It makes me wonder if this is a good eBay strategy, if I was a shareholder.

Does the cost of some additional subscription revenue, outweigh the cost of the Final Value Fee they would of received from people who will no longer sell a ton of items on eBay.

And does the lower price an auction might bring from a sale (people will sell more) out-weigh the higher fee they will eventually collect from a final value fee.

Then are their people with stores selling the same items that people who didn't have stores are selling - So ebay really won't being losing the FVF, since they will just collect it from a different seller.

I'm sure eBay crunched their numbers and projected the revenue growth by the changes the implemented.
