Top Tips For eBay | How to Sell For More & Buy For Less

[@patrickdelduca3094]

Well done Bry. I had to subscribe.

[@nicholasgrnwd]

The snipping technic for eBay is my fav. Bidding any time sooner is just running up the price for that item.

[@BrysComics]

Why doesn’t everyone realize that? Lol

[@bandoogiemanz]

Makes too much sense.

[@TheMab2180]

Ha. Great point regarding sniping. I got hosed too many times way back when i first started on ebay and read about how sniping is wrong but happens. I then tried it and haven't looked back. Thanks!

[@minutemancomics4519]

Another well done video. I sold my first comic a few months ago, only 5500 more to go. Learning how to do things better every day, and getting great experience with each buy or sale, while waiting for my first graded books to finally arrive from CGC and go up for sale. Thanks again!!

[@BrysComics]

That’s the name of the game! Congrats man...

[@greatpix]

Bry, I used to be a pro photographer and if you're open to some advice I would suggest you get yourself a medium size light modifier like a softbox or umbrella and a good powerful (not necessarily expensive) LED light. Place it below eye level to get light under the brim of your hat. Barring that you could take a cheap shop light, bounce it against the wall in front of you (if the wall is white or neutral grey color) and that should also give you a nice diffuse light. You might even make do by placing a white reflector on top of the table to bounce light up under the brim of the hat. Right now the brim of your hat is creating a shadow across your eyes which is not flattering.

[@BrysComics]

I’ve been trying to get someone local to come help me out, I know my lighting sucks. Doesn’t even need to be cheap..but I can’t find anyone! So annoying...

[@bullpup01]

You have the most informative comic channel on youtube IMO. Thanks!

[@WalkerJoe23]

Good advice. Appreciate you putting out videos like this.

[@lindaknapp674]

Wow! I learned so much in this video. Thanks Bry, you ROCK!

[@MarioAlvesJr]

Thanks for the tips. Haven't put any books up on eBay yet but have done toys and Magic cards in the past.

[@joannealler2731]

That sniping technique that you explained is exactly what I do and have done for many years. Great tips overall.

[@robertobenites7360]

Been looking to start de-stashing for a bit and this video came at just the right time. Only have 2 questions: 1. Slab or not? 2. What site, if any, do you use for pricing other than ebay?

[@miguelgraca1964]

Great tips. I personally hate snipping but it's just the way things go.

[@BrysComics]

I agree

[@chrishooper1597]

Really helpful video Bry, about selling and Buy It Now versus auctions and the best time to place the sale end thank you for these valuable tips

[@luis642008]

This is why I follow you and why I recommend people to your channel that collect comics. Thanks for this video and the one about selling on Instagram. I'm new to all this!

[@CubaRican226]

Some great information in this video. And that slab stand is cool.

[@stillchillin7249]

Great Video again! Actually about to get back to listing a few things myself! So close to 100 feedback, mostly as a buyer, but the selling is getting there, maybe some of these tips will help that change.

[@SuddenlyComics]

Good Tips - Only done buying so far but thinking of doing some selling, these tips will be useful

[@benjaminrasa8285]

The Start and End Time one makes a big difference for auctions. Beware of scammers! Thanks for the good tips!

[@kevinjameson7817]

Nice tips. This is one of the few videos I’ve seen where someone tells you the price they paid for a book (or set). Thanks.

[@eidelmatteo]

I started selling about 6 months ago and really enjoy it. A lot of these tips i figured out the hard way, a few i didn't know. Grateful for the content brother keep it up.

[@derekr.6885]

12 years of experience you know your stuff!! keep up the great work

[@chrisdiblasi2302]

Always love the videos and your insight! Thanks!

[@rocketfighter8]

I've won over 1600 auctions on ebay since 2001 and started sniping after my first auction when I learned my lesson not to enter a bidding war. One trick I use is to add a few cents to my sniping final bid because the vast majority of bidders bid in whole dollar amounts. I just won an auction today by $0.08 doing this.

[@zachbrobst9473]

Sniping works. I get 90% or better of the books I bid on. It's a little dirty but that's the meta 🤷

[@jacobbornowsky4013]

Lol yup that’s how I was treated when getting into the game... auctions aren’t worth the stress for me I gladly pay a premium to not have to worry about that last second thievin

[@justinandnova]

Thanks for the tips. I always use sunlight when taking pics as I can't stand the glare from flash and overhead lights. Thanks Bry!!

[@doctorkrebs]

Good information. I would like to start selling on EBay, but a bit timid...thanks again!

[@steviewunder1980]

Thanks for this! Gave me some ideas to get started with selling and confirmed my suspicions in particular about sniping!

[@jasonw3479]

Thanks for the tips. Been considering selling some of my old collection here soon.

[@ost0ne]

Really enjoy the content keep it coming BRY!

[@StraitTalkMedia]

Great video I have always found selling comics on eBay intimidating but some great tips to start out slow.

[@808_collector]

Always great info! Thanks Bry!

[@markreid1676]

Great information, thanks I need to sell so many I’ll definitely use what you have said. Thank you

[@lukeelliott2128]

I sniped a ASM#11 about a year and half ago, and picked up the book for $400. Got it graded and got a 7.0 and could ask >$1000 in current market. Great advice!

[@joshzielinski2452]

Another great informative video!! Keep up the great content.

[@dstar101]

Love that cover

[@johnskittens]

Thanks for this video. As a new collector, EBay can be super overwhelming!

[@fancysinigang_tk]

Appreciate the tips man! Going to start selling for the first time this year and these were super helpful. Thanks!

[@InsomniaPVR]

Great video Bry, excellent info !

[@soupyzz]

Another great video bro! Thank you!

[@nekofreak1325]

I literally have mastered the snipe lol since I began selling. I use to lose out a lot until I realized the bid up for you as well. Coming up with that maximum amount and putting it in and leaving it gives you a sense of peace and says if I get it it’s for me if not that’s all I was willing to pay so back to hunting. Great advice!

[@bakiganzo2946]

Love your videos. Getting back into the collecting and have books I’d like to sell so this very helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@marcokeller3575]

How do you package your comic to avoid damage in shipping?

[@betosalazar1309]

Great video, I found it very educational. I’ve also noticed that auctions that end at the same time are great for buyers. I reason that most buyers will go for the hottest book at the moment letting other books go below FMV.

[@crash20251976]

I've been thinking of selling my soon to be graded comics. Thanks for the info.

[@chrisclark5265]

I like tip 1 but it's so convenient to list the bundle. Is it worth breaking it up if someone just wants one item? I don't know...

[@danasalas874]

I got burned a couple times on auction..you live and learn. Awesome content

[@repairtechtony]

Some great advice! I switched to buy it now listings and have done pretty well.

[@LiquidWeapon]

This is the exact type of informative video that you've made in the past which brought me on as a subscriber. Great work! I do feel there are some benefits to selling as a lot that could maybe be touched upon, but you're right as a general rule to list individually. I also can't stress enough the importance of tip #4. I've gotten into many disputes over what qualifies as NM+ and now only list as 'NM or better'. I had one guy argue an NM+ listing due to finding a dog hair in the bag and board...

[@BrysComics]

Omg, you have got to be kidding me! People can be so unreasonable....

[@robertdeveau7445]

Auctions always make sense for silver or bronze age mid grade when there are literally 50 or more other listings of the same book at BIN, unless you can wait years for someone to pick yours, or you price it below what it would sell for if you did put it at auction

[@kaisernawaz4488]

Thanks for the tips, especially the sniping.

[@Dharris527]

I’ve been thinking about selling this summer. Thanks for the tips.

[@kingkalabac]

Great comic video. Very informative. Just getting back into comics. Thanks!

[@garywoods3196]

Thanks for the help I just started selling books on ebay. It's good to get some advice on it. Thank you.

[@sweezy1912]

I’ve always sold lots on eBay, will have to change that now. Thanks!

[@esco7760]

Great video you explained this very well thanks also that comic and stand is nice 👍🏼

[@mikehagler4233]

Office Lens!!!! Use the document setting..its amazing..get the app

[@The_singularity]

Another very insightful and professional video. Thanks 👍

[@MrRay-nt6vb]

Great video! What do you think of selling on mycomicshop rather than ebay for $5 - $10 raw books?

[@johnbower7225]

I just started using eBay to find rare variants. These tips helped.

[@victorz5821]

Another great and helpful video!

[@rickharrison1358]

Thank you for all the videos you do! Awesome content

[@Teacherguy06]

Long time collector..new seller, thanks for the great tips.

[@teamtricky]

Solid tips! Thanks!!

[@davecironelibrarykid]

Have you seen the backlash re: raw book grading? You invite a high risk of returns by stating a subjective grade that the customer can "disagree" with if they change their mind.

[@BrysComics]

Yeah I think if you give it a range and can back it up you’ll do fine. There are always going to be some unreasonable people...

[@jluvvv68]

These are great tips. I use Buy It Now or Best Offer most of the time. This gives the buyer an option to buy mine over other sellers if they send me a good offer. I take 10 to 12 pics as well, like front and back and all for corners most of the time. Sometimes a pic of the inside to show how nice the pages are. I do have one question. I've seen someone sell a similar comic that I'm listing that has 4 copies of one key issue. I have decided to list this very same comic the same way, but at a cheaper price thinking mine would sell as well. It's been several weeks now and I have yet to sell them. Would you break these up and try to sell them individually? Btw, great content as always...keep up the great work.

[@Cannonlaw66]

Great tips to throw in to my ebay selling arsenal!

[@Undici]

Great tips! I'm only starting to consider selling on eBay and this is great advice, thanks!

[@Kurenai1819]

I needed this vlog.😄. I have many Silver & Bronze duplicates which I want to sell. Thanks!

[@toddwood3830]

Just started selling my collection on Ebay, Thanks for the great tips!

[@NHComics]

Really great tips. I'm definitely going to save this for when I want to sell a book

[@russellfranklin5248]

I’ve a ton of bronze and modern books I’m now looking at selling. Being on a tiny island in the middle of the Med makes shipping a costly venture so I’ll probably just sell minor keys and skip bulk bundles for now. Now I have the mega task of re-grading my collection. Great informative video 👍🏻

[@DaveCYeah]

Kyber crystal included?!?!?! That’s awesome man!!! Thanks for the ebay info. Just closed my shop recently...

[@Radial3clipse]

What do you do when you need to cancel an auction due to wrong info? With a bid already in place

[@Tragiksouls]

The green crystal is so awesome! Need to get one of those.

[@kchasecook]

SUPER HELPFUL! thanx

[@big90sspec9]

Successful sniper here. Good advice. People complain about fees but you cannot find a bigger audience for your stuff than eBay. Just beware, that "no returns" doesn't really mean anything when eBay is asked to get involved. I've received a refund, thanks to eBay, every time a seller tried to screw me... despite their "no returns allowed". Sometimes you even get to keep the item free... like my UF4.

[@thegatekid]

Thank you for your tips Bry!! It would be a dream for me to get this hobby to fund itself!

[@simonjones1007]

Top tips! Thank you Bry another great video

[@soundwave_9568]

Always love your vids bro, since I just started to get into comics do you think itz wise to start flipping comics

[@BrysComics]

Of course! These are the halcyon days of comics

[@patrickdaly9316]

Hoping to get as good as you bry man. Great video.

[@maverick5643]

Those are some really great tips! I had no idea there was software out that would do it for you. Now I am very interested in that.

[@bretbilbrey4429]

I’ve recently started eBay and this helps a lot!!

[@Ginge-uj5wz]

[@asweat2483]

Thanks for the Ebay tips and tricks! Very necessary

[@edwinaguilar7679]

Great info! well done!

[@sidneyrivera3578]

Great information Bry! I wish I knew this 12-years ago when I started buying comics on eBay. Living and learning. Thanks.

[@marvelvsdc6611]

Very helpful tips, thanks Bry! ✌🏼

[@michaelrice1184]

Great tip on the the "not a professional grader" language. I'm not a professional grader but I do my best and stay conservative. Customers appreciate the effort. Excellent advice on the buying side of the equation. Appreciate all you share here. Thanks.

[@nathanielmcdonough4288]

Once again thank you for the seller tips. Also thanks for the sniping info. I'm soon going to be selling on eBay so this is 100% the info I need!

[@jesusdejesusjr.6991]

[@everydaychallenges2282]

[@cemorenomoreno3163]

Great vid, selling CBs on eBay is the best choice?
