Gotta keep it fun! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the channel.

It sure makes a big difference for me and is very noticeable with KZbin resellers I watch, those who do and those who don’t. Thank you for watching and appreciate you subscribing!

Yes for sure! In the end I’ll still do fine but quite a ride. I don’t relax on these until day 30. Thank you for watching!

Thanks and here’s to a great reselling 2025!

Thank you so much for watching and the great questions! I'm on the west coast in Washington State but still sell a lot to Florida so I think my system is working. I usually set the size and weight by measuring the item and add an inch or two to each dimension. I usually go up a pound on weight unless it is a larger item and I think the box will weigh more, I'll add more to the estimate. For items under a pound, I usually go to 8oz minimum and up from there. I do add a handling fee of $1 or $2 depending on the expected item shipping cost to help cover the extra fees as I mentioned in the video. I allow offers simply because I know my shipping will be more for some buyers and want to have the opportunity to still get a sale. I do get shipping discounts as a Top Rated seller which is why it is so important to keep that rating once you get it. If I was starting over, I would limit my items to High Margin, High Quality, and High Sell Through Rate only. I jumped way in and ended up with some things that just don't sell fast enough so I'm getting much more picky on those points. Thank you again and I really hope you enjoy the channel and please send more comments and questions!

@@RealBoringFlipsthank you for your thoughtful and thorough reply! I really appreciate your help.

Thank you for watching! It doesn't appear that eBay is offered in Norway but there are similar sites where you can sell items at auction or at fixed prices. One that I found that seems highly rated is called Finn.no. Hope that helps and thanks again for watching and sending comments!

@@RealBoringFlips U have any experience with shopify/dropshipping? Seems like everyone are making big bucks on that

@@thedark_knight231 Not directly although I do enjoy the payment notes when a drop shipper buys something from me on eBay (no invoice, it's a gift!). For now I have my main store on ebay and a backup account. When I retire at the end of 2025 I plan to add a few other platforms and might try those. It's a time issue for me right now but I do want to at least see if that would benefit me. Thank you for watching, hope you enjoy the channel!

Why thank you for your courage! Hope you enjoy the channel and get some good value from watching. #ITM

Thank you for watching and for this great question. When I got serious about reselling in 2020, I started a registered business as a Sole Proprietor. My plan is to create an LLC next year with the idea of establishing an S Corporation after I retire (end of 25). I resell out of a large space in my home and am able to deduct about 20% of my home expenses from my reselling income. I deduct mileage from a vehicle as well. That's advantageous because some trips back to my home are counted as trips to my business location. After all of my normal deductions, I will probably pay taxes on about $5k (out of the $20k reported to IRS) of reselling income. My focus is really on minimizing my overall tax burden in retirement while still having fun reselling and now making videos on YT. I wish I had understood all the advantages of running a business out of the home (even very part time), I would have started this years ago. Thanks again!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! So glad my videos are visible. Learning some tricks to help with that.

Thank you! I think once I got to around 400 listings it made sense to subscribe to the store. I’m at about 700 now and would like to be at 1000 in the next few months. That gives me the sales rate I want and that I can handle with my work schedule. I have the store subscription that comes with 1000 listings. There are nice benefits with the store as well. Thanks again.

Thanks Kevin for your help and have a Happy New Year.

Thanks again! Hoping for a great start to 2025 for all resellers. I'm interested in trying a resurfacer but haven't settled on one. Any suggestions?

@RealBoringFlips JFJ Easy Pro is a great one and affordable

Thank you! Trying to keep things fun and informative. ITM! Here’s to a great 2025.

Ugg! Somehow the upload to YT added one second to my video length #MagicNumber

Thanks and here’s to a great 2025!

Thank you for watching and for commenting! I am really enjoying the experience of creating videos and always trying to improve the value and fun. Thanks again!

Love the comment and message received! I speak to large/small groups all the time but speaking into a camera without live people is a different animal. One of my 2025 goals is improving on this so thanks for mentioning

@RealBoringFlips yes I liked the video and at 2 x I guess I can handle it. It's like my only criticism. Great stuff!

Thank you! Yes, we are loving this new phase as first-time grandparents. I’m really looking forward to a great 2025 too! Thank you again for watching and the great comments, much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Thanks. Does the vehicle recognize the keyfob at all with the battery installed? I actually tried two different batteries even though they were both new. In my case the car had notified us that the batteries in both keyfobs were low and I changed mine without the car near me. I changed my wife's battery when she got home and the car was nearby. That one worked fine after the new battery but mine wouldn't recognize. I found a few videos on how to do the windshield trick and just hoped it would resync my keyfob to the vehicle and it did. I think these keyfobs are really sensitive to battery voltage. Use a Duracell or Energizer instead of the cheaper brands.

Thank you so much for your honest feedback and kind words! A lot of my own YT reseller viewing is focused on gleaning as much new knowledge as possible on new items/categories. Thanks again, very much appreciated!

Thanks! It sounds like you are setup pretty nicely with all the needed bits. I have a bunch of small totes with all the various flavors of power cords, usb, hdmi, ac adapters, etc. I hold on to these as they come in with other bulk buys. Can never have too many of those. My VCR listings now come with all the cords plus a new blank tape and seems to add good value. Thanks again for watching!

Normally I leave that little tag of paper attached for the ebay listing but this one might have to come off.

Thanks for watching! We don't do much retail arbitrage, at least on purpose. I would love to do that regularly but the stores we have (Home Depot, Lowes, Marshalls, Ross, Costco) are limited on what we can find to flip. Seasonal is long tail for sure although my wife's Marvel costume set she just bought after Halloween sold quickly. I would focus on very low priced items if you think you'll need to hold until next year. Thanks again!

I'm editing a coming What Solds video and there is an item I would pick up after the holidays for next year if the price is right. Lego Advent calendars!

Thanks! I knew it would be good but was thinking $50. Much better than expected for sure.

Thanks! It was going to Hawaii so I padded it and filled the hollow and put it in a larger box. It's been delivered so hopefully no issues.

Thank you so much! I think I'm lucky that I have a couple of nice box/packing material sources and my post office/UPS, and Fedex are within 5 minutes. I just wish I had better thrifting sources! Since I'm all the way up in Washington State, I think MAKE OFFER has allowed me to get sales I normally wouldn't with calculated shipping. Sales have been good for me and the limited thrifting I do has been great! Thanks again for watching and here's to excellent thrifting and flipping!

I usually ship items how I would hope to receive them if I was buying them. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I like to make things enjoyable and fun and hopefully informative too.

@ yes absolutely and it shows! :D

Thank you! It was a one in a million find for sure. Please enjoy the channel!

Like $40

Yes, I think @markroger93 is correct, would be around $40. There just isn't a great way to minimize the size box this would take to ship. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! One of the things I love about thrifting is there is always a chance to redeem a past loss. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you and yes I will!

TYFYS! It makes it easier to speak into a camera knowing I’m speaking to the NA communitay Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the channel.

OPPO is a bit of an odd brand. They stopped making players but they are still pretty desirable. I sold a higher end version on this one for $1750 and the buyer actually clued me in. OPPO used certain components that have much higher audio quality than other companies. Mine might be priced too high now but when I originally listed it I based it on current sold comps. I’ll need to go through all my listings regularly to check my pricing. Sometimes it goes the other way and my prices end up too low.

Thanks again for the comment! I'm going through all my current listings and I draft new listings and prepare for a test switch to Free Returns. I want to make sure my pricing is in line with the latest sold comps.

True, they’ve even called me a few times to see if I wanted to offer free returns.

Thank you and TYFYC! Hope you enjoy the channel!

Thank you and TYFYC! Hope you enjoy the channel!

Right! In the end I guess it made it one piece. 😊

I’m hearing that from a lot of resellers. Hopefully things pick up soon.

Thanks. I didn’t but will look at that. I pretty much decided to switch to free returns for that reason. Thanks again.
