Well.....after much prodding from many friends/colleagues and yes....money4nothing, I went ahead and decided to list a couple items on Ebay. I haven't sold on ebay since 2006.
I have to admit, I am not as friendly as I use to be. The attitude of the newbies has changed a lot in my area. Most use to come out to lookie loo, watch the process, and decide if storage auctions were right for them, some would jump in and bid, some would win, but generally not to big a deal. More so now it seems the newbies are either intent to run up the bids cause they think its a game, or try to figure out who the regulars are and bid on anything they see a regular bid on and try to win it no matter what the cost. The newbies of the last couple of months have been more agressive, more arrogant, and more a pain in the butt. I don't "be friend" newbies at the auction anymore, and when I am talking to other regulars about the business, I keep my voice low and watch out for eavedroppers.
Maybe it's time to get a job??
I'm in wake county, ya know, RDU. I've only been to two auctions and seen only 5 units but hoooly **** do they go for too much money. It really sucks to try to get into this business with these kinds of results. Ugh.
Declared he was going to be the new Darrell bidder in his home town, seeing as he looked the part, he might as well play the part. Now all he needed was seed money again so he............
LOL I don't have anything else to do.. LOL All we really got out of that big locker, besides the furniture. Maybe why I keep hanging in there.
Cold has made me lazy - keep trying to sort the cloths for Ebay lots and then find something else (almost anything else) to do
Label them after season blowout sale!
Now~do you have any youth Vikings jerseys (that don't say Moss or Favre?!?!)?
Like hanging out on this forum?......I know~I should be thinking about ebaying......but alas.....I don't want to. I don't want to! I don't want to!!!
This is why I'll take a dozen photos, then transfer them to the PC and check the boards. Makes it feel less like work!!
Isn't it funny how people will think about $1 item for forever but you mark it for $5 and they will walk up offer $3 and buy instantly! All psychology I guess....
Like our owner says, never talk in terms of dollars, build the value of the product so the price doesn't matter.....
I know of a long time flea market vendor who sometimes will actually break the item in front of the customer if they haggle over a $1-$2 item. He will tell them "Should of bought it at a $1, now it's worthless!"
Had a major expense show up, so I might not be buying anything but cheap units, if I can find them, for the next couple of months, unless I a get a gift from Uncle Sam. Oh well, so is the life...
. All our seed money tied up in inventory.
