Episode 123 Tips and Tactics for Better 4th Quarter Holiday Sales

[@CajunReseller]

Salmon patties are awesome!

[@larrywayout1163]

I have been doing this for years it is a free spot to self advertise. "Check my other listings for more (8 tracks records, CDs cassettes), {music items} and other great stuff". Use to say EBAY store then I updated all of my listings to "Check my Other Listings" as I am at some point going to crosslist. The ( ) changes to what the item is I am selling Holiday, Sports Memorabilia, Books, postcards, games, toys, DVD, VHS, Laserdisc or etc. {music items} becomes movie, art sports, historical or ST Louis items. THe other suggestions were great except for the gift wrapping as I wrap like Cory.

Blech! On the black olives. You can have my portion

[@unemployedforaliving]

AGREED JEFF!! (Ken)

[@alleghenyroots]

I LOVE salmon patties! Every summer, before I go back to school, my mom makes me a salmon patty lunch. We have salmon patties and mac and cheese 😋

[@unemployedforaliving]

But do they have salmon in them?

[@alleghenyroots]

@resellerclickbait 😂😂 100%

I agree with Corey, I offer gift wrapping for Xmas and Birthday with a card (signed by the Octopus). Was asked numerous times years ago, so I added it as a variation to a few listings. But I do like the dedicated listing idea. Edit. Same regarding address requests. I do a background check on their account and do a risk analysis. Normally below $50 - eBay have covered me the one time it went askew in the past (in messages). Edit 2: I’m like Ken, when I’m not trying to shut down streets and deploy sniffer dogs - I wrap like a god!

[@unemployedforaliving]

There ya go OCTO, another festive soul to match my own 🎅🎄🎅🎄

[@alleghenyroots]

Cory is young! He's just an "old soul" 😊

[@unemployedforaliving]

No, no, he's definitely old. 🤣

Hi guys! I just started watching but am cracking up at the cereal talk! Cory, I buy Chex every year to make Chex Party Mix - you won't be surprised I'm a grandparent too LOL I'm a huge Peanuts fan, and you can imagine how excited I was when they used Peanuts characters on the boxes for the holiday season!! Ken, I agree, you can't have Cheerios without milk and a ton of sugar! OK, back to the podcast, but have a great week to both of you!!

[@unemployedforaliving]

Hey Mary, My girlfriend Jill is also a big Peanuts Snoopy fan. Maybe I will have to get her some Chec cereal

[@TheQuirkyPicker_Chad]

As a buyer, I would be scared to buy an item as a gift already wrapped, especially if it's a used item. What if they open up the item and it's not as described? And if I buy the gift farther out than 30 days, and a person has 30 day free returns, then I'm screwed if it's an INAD. It's almost like starting in November I need to change my return policy to 60 days, since some people might not even open up the item until after Christmas. Food for thought

[@CajunReseller]

Ken saying list all those winter items....and the last time he listed was probably over a month ago

[@unemployedforaliving]

Are you stalking my account 🤣🤣

[@Apexflipper]

Thanks Cory - I went into my Business Policies - cleaned them up and turned everything to 1 business day. Great idea for Q4. Might be a difference maker on a few sales. If not... I'll point all the blame to Ken.

Hey guys. I havent watched the video yet, but of course I will. Short comment because this is a test. None of my previous messages lately have been added to the comments. Dont know why. So it doesnt make sense to spend 30 minutes penning a comment that wont be seen. But here is what I might have said: Very funny. Very clever, and a complete waste of time to watch (Why, oh why do I continue to watch every week?). Cause I love 'em! Hope this one sticks. Mike from NY

[@MaryMcQuain]

Mike, I see you!! Hello friend!! 🤗

[@unemployedforaliving]

Yup, we got it!! Glad it came through. We appreciate you watching and commenting every week!!

[@mikemetco1966]

Okay. Glad I am being heard once again. Now back to those novel length comments. And, Mary. Always nice to see you in the comments if not actually in person, the next 127 Highway sale cannot come quickly enough

[@MaryMcQuain]

@ yay!! Can’t wait to see you next time!!

[@BeachBuyRepeat]

I'm raking leaves in the yard dying laughing at Ken saying load up the comment sectikn!😂💀🐟

[@unemployedforaliving]

Sometimes I open my mouth and stuff just comes out 🤣

[@wolfmansgoodies]

I wrap using the neighbors' newspapers.

[@BeachBuyRepeat]

Ken! Santa does not wrap his presents! They are displayed out on Christmas morning!! I have photographic proof!🎅

[@unemployedforaliving]

You are 100% correct. But Ken also gives gifts and he wants them to be perfect!!🎅🎄🎅🎄

[@CajunReseller]

It takes way too long wrap gifts....bags are way better

[@unemployedforaliving]

I gave this comment a thumbs down. 😁 Gotta wrap a Christmas gift 🎁
