As a Phila EAGLES fan, I don't like your sign the Eagles suck lol could suck more like the Cowboys, but thanks for your tips on selling postcards good video
@JackassRetroАй бұрын
The sign is for the shitty band the Eagles, not the team. In my view all football teams suck equaly.
@danjacobs418Ай бұрын
@JackassRetro lol OK yes I'm with you on the band.They we're the 1st to charge $100 to see them.I love the Big labowski when he gets thrown out of the cab for saying" I hate the fucking Eagles" thank you love your videos

Hi there! I have a question. So I've been looking at different ebay sellers stores as I research items on ebay and naturally go and look at other people's stores. I see lots of stores doing similar things where they tend to price all their postcards at something like 8.99 and 2 dollar shipping, or everything at 7.99 free shipping, or they price even higher. Names like Trusted Postcards, colbears postcards, and eternal loot just to name a few. Now these guys have huge stores. Colbear with like 70k listings, and the other two have 200k or so. Now, these guys are selling TONS of postcards a day and are actually really making those high sales. My question for you today is are these guys really marking average and high ticket postcards at that premium price? Or are they only picking cards that sell for that much. And why do they do this? When I look up cards I see people selling them at really low numbers and then one of those guys has a promoted listing right at the time for lots more than the other sellers for that card. Is it worth doing this ? Do you suggest promoting? How dot these guys seem to get away with this? Is it because they already have a huge store and are so well positioned in the game already as staples? Thanks for the advice. I've been studying alot of these stores lately.

I promote everything. If you want the OG deep dive from the guy I learned everything from go to Popeye's postcards. I basically stopped this series because he started his and it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I owe all my postcard knowledge and interest to him

Damn! I missed the trans 🏳️⚧️ talk. As a trans person I will say this to the whole “turning your kids trans” …Why on EARTH would a youth or adult want to exist in a human experience where 50% of the time they feel unsafe and uncomfortable (not knowing who is accepting of them or would want to harm them). Not many, right? Thats why it’s not a CHOICE. It’s just how we feel on the inside and matching that to the outside. Also, not everyone has a physical/medical/hormonal transition (like I have) as gender is a spectrum. Be nice to people regardless if you think they are “weird” for being trans ⚧️ 💙👍🏽

I started out trying to remove the glue and foreign paper fiber with fine sandpaper, something like 220 grit, with the intention of scaling the sand papers down to finer grit the closer I got to the bottom of the glue and foreign paper. A big eraser can be used to unclog the sand paper as you go. But fortunately the fiber in the foreign paper was 'big' and the glue chipped away like dried on food using a fresh razor blade to gently scrape it away in very careful, tiny increments at a time. Much like what you are doing here. Do you know how hard it is to find videos that address this very common problem?? Thank you for posting!

With all the time that you take on one postcard is it worth the effort in the sale? The the other postcard people that can do a listing in about a minute and they're making pretty good

Great question. I made that video 3 years ago so this question comes with a good deal of 20/20 reverse perspective. Short answer is yes. Long answer: Yes. Because I invested that time over the years it A) Made me much much faster at this process (I was going a little slow for the video) and also refine the process for better efficiency. I can now research any given card with up to 4 different data points and complete a listing in under a minute in most cases but usually that isnt even necessary because.... B) It Helped me learn and build my knowledge to the point where there are a lot of cards I just know now. It has helped me standardize pricing structure for more common lower-value cards and help me quickly identify cards that have the most potential to be priced in the $20 and up category with a pretty high degree of accuracy.

@@JackassRetro do you care to share either here or in a video how you manage inventory. I collect a lot of postcards for my travels and I was thinking of doing an Excel sheet number cards one through whatever, a short name description, etc

HI, new here. Really appreciate these videos (can rarely make them live but do watch later) and your others. Your 101 series was incredibly helpful - so generous of you! Only have a handful of postcards listed - no scanner yet but maybe this week. My favs are holiday cards, esp Christmas, so always looking for videos on those. Many thanks!
