Episode 120 - This shipping strategy will get you more sales on ebay

[@Kristina-mm9ih]

It took watching 120 episodes of Trash To Cash to master being able to listen to all 3 of you at once, but I have finally arrived! Yay! Thanks for another great video!

[@joyofflipping2405]

That really IS a skill!!! I'm not quite there yet. 🤣

[@HairyTornado]

Kevin you should definitely make shirts with those transfers. At least a small batch of 50-100 and see how they do. Even better if you could find some vintage blanks for them.

[@trashtocashpodcast]

no doubt. Just seems like a bunch of work.

[@TonySullivan-cr6wr]

Kevin you look young without the hat. Also this was a great 😅episode of trash to cash.

[@kumamadnesspatricio6176]

It was fun and entertaining to watch you ship. It was like I was hanging out with someone virtually while I was doing my own things at home. Thanks for the hangout. Hope u do it again.

[@freddyrussell6611]

Dave, we made that Tuskan Chicken and it was amazing with Penne noodles.

[@CranstonSandwich]

CARY HOW HAVE YOU NOT TOLD THAT ALI STORY BEFORE!!!!! Classic!

[@Grannysnook59]

I think sales are slow at the end of January, because people are getting their credit card bills from Christmas. Added to fact people are getting ready to do taxes aren't sure about the amount they may have to pay. Love your videos on all of your channels.

[@resellmaven]

I think yall talked more reselling in this episode than any of the last 20 so kuddos 😂

[@tricitiestnpickers]

I bought a bunch of plush from Dave a while back and was amused by the large amount of loose bubble wrap in the box.

[@brianklaus2468]

as far as the song- Ive been stunned into submission

[@Kathleenthefernwayflipper]

😂they have wings on the Delta ones. (And the doors stay on!). ✈️

[@Rms242]

In December I decided to do an experiment and removed everything off promoted and I had about the same amount of sales I always do for December and January. Maybe it’s what we sell and promoting isn’t as helpful in those categories, but for now our promotions are off.

[@JewelsNcrime]

These 3 together is worthy of a national television broadcast, you guys are so hilarious together.

[@The_Keystone_Kollectibles]

Y'all need to go your local mechanic or collision center and ask if you can get there boxes they pay to throw away plus all the bubble wrap, never paid for bubble wrap or boxes. Been reselling now for say 5 years on the side, getting about 4-5 sales not promoting any of my listings.

[@Thefleamarkettribe]

You all all rock stars in my book.

[@Cowgirljewel]

Morning!

[@ABCMatt123]

Good Morning! I really enjoyed the event. Thank you for the shout out of my KZbin channel. Mama picker hit so many hole in one

[@nancysnotions072]

I've promoted everything at 3.2% for a couple of years, I also pass my shipping discount on to buyers. I have had more sales in January than I did in November or December. I order my larger size boxes from Grainger and pick them up. I didn't care for the quality of their smaller boxes (6x6x6) so I order those from WalMart (free shipping!!!) I loved the songs at the end of the last episode - Paul's merch still randomly plays in my head lol. Thanks for another fun episode.

[@tiwanawhitten9443]

Have been waiting for Tuesday morning !

[@MustangSally600]

Good morning

[@DanInDemand]

What did Cary do with all the Propel Tops?

[@americanarbitrage]

they are in my propel top drawer ;)

[@kritsadventures]

I get boxes at Grainger. I have one 20 minutes from my house. You have to buy 10-25 at a time depending on the size, but the prices are like $0.20-$1.75 depending on the size of the box. I also have a local American Bubble Boy warehouse 30 minutes away, so I get bubble wrap WAYYYY cheaper than shipped. I also invested in an air pillow maker super early on, and that saves a bundle not using as much bubble wrap.

[@mrs.frugaltrashtocash1938]

I promote 3-5% on everything. We had a great weekend of sales. The last 24 hours have been slow. But overall, our sales are down about 12% from last January, which was a really great month for us.

[@santanakeoni]

Kevin was def super nervous during the live I noticed that too

[@williampeterson4416]

If you have not already noticed, the eBay app has been updated with some changes. I noticed that my sales were down for a couple of days prior, and my guess is the update was messing with the sales through the app. Just my opinion.

[@gailmcclendon7480]

Great podcast guys. Slightly different from the norm I think because Kevin seemed to be in a great mood and was in the moment for the entire show. Enjoyed it! Was it because the swinger stuff has been put to bed.....? LOL

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Bumpy morning 😊. I may be glad to watch it all.😊

[@annettemercado8404]

Webster is a great flea Market. If you go all the way to the back there are wholesale lot where you can buy in bulk. In the summer you have to be an early bird because almost everyone goes home at noon. Dave when you go back can you please see if they have the wholesale lot.

[@bniesen01]

I order some of my boxes from Staples and they are delivered free the next day.

[@ThriftingTreasure]

👵👵 Stop making fun of my Kevin! 👵👵

[@kellyredinger5974]

Cary got to sing for Mohammed Ali and I was on Captain Kangaroo. 《sigh》

[@disabled_dahlia]

Kevin looked nervous but Dave when you were doing all the talking you were basically facing Cary so it looked like Kevin was not involved.

[@disabled_dahlia]

When you were doing the live

[@donaldpearson5172]

I've lived in Las Vegas for 40 years. Might meet Cary before he moves

[@americanarbitrage]

hope to meet ya!

[@gemflipper]

One thing that confuses me regarding shipping calculated versus flat rate is that I hear if you use calculated buyers will get overcharged but based on my own experience using calculated my buyers only get overcharged about a dollar or two. That is because I use what I call a flat weight.That helps me to offset the cost of shipping supplies. The only thing I can think of as to why buyers would get overcharged is because of the dimensions. I remember watching a video from jride a little while ago and he flashed the dimensions that he inputted on screen and it was way off based on the size of the item. I know you have to account for the box and packaging but It was 5 inches in each direction. That instance yes I can see that a flat rate would save a buyer but if you live in Florida then you have to ship across the country the seller could end up losing. I don't like losing and I've been doing this for 25 years now this year.

[@carlapresetti6445]

Listening while working. Very amusing overall but then I heard the expression "Watch out for the Bear Mafia" - yep that was a howl. Carys zingers!

[@ebayvideo6383]

You might want to check what a Ground Advantage 12x12x12 package costs compared to 8x8x8. Then look at price for these boxes on priority. Might be surprised

[@PurpleUnicornBuysellPa]

My EBay sales dropped off 25% since Jan1. I only promote ( very little) higher end items. 218 listings and maybe five are promoted. Majority of my sales are buy it now. I may have 20 to 30 auction formats running. That’s only because it’s stuff that people typically will bid on. I still keep trying to list 5 to 10 day. I’m not gonna complain though with money still coming in.

[@kathyleandro3839]

The song was awesome laughed a good “belly!laughed”. Definitely worth the time.

[@donaldpearson5172]

I lost money on one sale when shipping to conn. I charged 7.10 shipping for small package and it cost me 17.85. But shipping mostly evens out, I guess at all shipping works for me.

[@thenerdypicker]

I pulled my store down weeks ago to completely relist my items with updating pricing ,shipping and any corrections they may have needed. Took me a few days and when I relisted I didn’t promote everything. But I started selling like crazy. Maybe two things were from promoted. So I decided to turn off all promoting and see how that works. Sales slowed. So I went back and promoted everything. Currently I have all listings promoted, prices reduced and free shipping and my store is DEAD. Nothing in almost a week. So I don’t think it matters promoted, shipping, price. Things just aren’t selling.

[@CyndiConnard]

OMG! Kevin has HAIR?

[@socalogp7296]

Maybe Kevin was a bit nervous in anticipation of a swinger event later that evening?

[@tims4712]

I either download this on KZbin and listen to it or on my generic podcast app. Doesn't matter to me which way I listen to it so does it help you all more having views on KZbin or downloads in a podcast app?

[@commonwealthflipper]

We’re just amazed anybody listens

[@timb4425]

As a life long Lions fan, it was hard to relive the game during the first part of the podcast! Overall, they had a great year, but it sure would have been awesome to see them go to the Superbowl

[@anitalanger3589]

Next year!!😉🙂

[@kellyredinger5974]

'Put this to bed.'😂😅

[@ordiekelleher2641]

Out of m&m. She has to wash her hands to comment. Doritos and bean dip!😊

[@guyneace]

Hey Oh!!!

[@PabloDiabloTreasures]

In Dungeons & Dragon terms I think Kevin would be a Lawful Neutral Halfling Paladin; Cary would be a True Neutral Half Orc Barbarian; Dave would be a Chaotic Neutral Gnome Rogue

[@americanarbitrage]

I don’t understand this truly…but I feel like it’s correct 😀

[@onefootflipper]

I think Kevin would be an Elf. How old is he? No one knows except that it is much older than you think. I could see Cary as the Barbarian except for an unexpected 14 Intelligence score that he doesn't play up.

[@UncleStevePicker]

And the commercial at the end of the pod for me was Grainger! I buy all my golf boxes there. Cheapest I could find and decent quality. 4/4/48 for 1.75 each. But you have to have a local store to pick them up because shipping is expensive. I also buy 4/4/38 and 6/6/48 for clubs.

[@kellyredinger5974]

At the end you all talk about boxes. I watched it a few times, but never heard where Kevin gets his boxes. He said Walmart, but what is the other company?

[@commonwealthflipper]

Grainger

[@Pauls_Merch]

Who’s Merch?

[@americanarbitrage]

PAULS MERCH! The legend has spoken!

[@TheThriftyVeteran]

Collect magazines and Uline pamphlets = free filler.

[@socalogp7296]

Just a thought but have you guys considered extending the podcast to 2 hours? Kat and Rod do 2 hours plus on their podcast and I definitely enjoy it. Seems just right. ✌

[@esmelovesvintage]

“The Bear Mafia” 🐻🤣🤣

[@CranstonSandwich]

Y’all are missing out on a great opportunity, creating a sportsball podcast with Dave! It would be amazing!

[@longboardluv2]

i've done four 400 plus dollar days in a row and 1k today on ebay

[@Ncthrifting]

I promote 90% of my items- pretty slow for me too. 😢

[@joyofflipping2405]

I promote about 6% regardless of what they suggest. My sales have dropped unbelievably.

[@anitahaviland3036]

Dave and Cary are like punch drunk teenagers when together. Dave just said he was spending too much money on stuff when with he went to the flea market with Cary. Watching it was almost like seeing a train wreck in action, except Dave would make some money on each buy, though maybe not a lot. Dave and Cary really look.like teenagers!

[@PhillyPhlipper]

Still not enough Philly Phlipper content in my opinion

[@onefootflipper]

That is the problem with most channels really.

[@Sh3570]

Free Shipping. And I offer returns but buyer pays.

[@FeelinFroggyFinds]

I think Cary was right. The guy used a cut out to point to the coins… he was not all that clear if ya ask me

[@OrderItUsed]

Wait a minute! The servers told us that the dessert was on the house! They still charged you all for that?

[@ADHDavePicks]

We are the house 😘

[@rubazaar891]

Videos so good, you got to click like twice 😅

[@rubazaar891]

Invest in the Postal Service, their prices keep going up.... actually common utilities.... electric, natural gas, ECT...

[@bniesen01]

Go 49rs

[@juliettewannet6594]

❤

[@macl9395]

I promoted all items I've had for 6 months or more at 10%. After 2 weeks....it made no difference.

[@kathybolcavage1366]

I promote high and sales have died the last week.

[@whatthe...5035]

ADHDave... I think you need to ship that dept56 deer... in a plastic garbage bag!!!

[@donaldpearson5172]

Kevin has to much money invested in his property to move, be very hard.

[@onefootflipper]

Problem is most HOA's aren't going to allow 5 sheds and a giant trailer so he would still have to move rural.

[@FlippinMatt]

This episode was very humdrum.
