Without you telling me where you specifically bought your items but where do you find these type items

[@splash2272]

Both your ask and sold prices are real eye openers

[@_The_Worst_]

Soooooo many interesting items...💯✔ Your videos are excellent stimulation and motivation...🤘🏼

[@glennabushe39]

Thank you. Love listening and learning from you.

[@paultidwell7544]

Thanks for sharing, cool stuff as always. It seems like some of the best sheet music I've sold has been the antique patriotic stuff. I have done ok on some Nat Geos that I got in a large lot with an equally large lot of Life Magazines from the mid 60s on. But they were in great shape with all the matching inserts which helps them sell or I would have passed. The Life magazines I would buy again, those seem to do better for me overall.

[@jonathanfish4301]

Thanks Don for giving me some new avenues of sales!

[@BOATINDOCTOR]

Great video I exercise my right to buy and sell things as well I only paid $1.00 for, But a $5.00 bill has got me a lot of things that I have sold for $100.00 or more, Everyday i'm HUSTLIN

[@terryo1463]

I really like all the additional info you give about the item. Also, I like your new hair cut! I saw it in your other video but just wanted to mention it.

[@eldansue]

$1.00 at a time is so hard takes a lot more time when your in a smaller market and part-time, but it is moving forward and so em I.

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

Thanks for watching! We buy all of our items in massive bulk 100 or more at a time. The $1 price is the average item cost. 99% of our items are only bought in bulk including paper, and every item we show in this video. Super easy, and super quick all the way around.

[@eldansue]

@@TheAuctionProfessor I hear you my bulks this summer 400+, 84, 61, 103, 70ish and Tuesday another 140 ish my costs are coming in very low but the volume becomes a bit much..but no product no listings no sales. ( no sleep) :-) forgot to mention In Canada, so when I move up to an anchor store my goal will be 20.000 listings 10 k on .com and 10 k on .ca

[@Yooperchic]

Just started selling, on Ebay, Sept. 2019. I am SO glad I came across your youtube channel! I really appreciate you going through what sold, how much you paid, how long you had it up, BOLO (had to google that hahaha!). In the UP and not dreading the winter as much--hoping this new venture will continue to be fun and profitable. :) Thanks again.

[@kandibazaar]

Yeah I've sold dust jackets for a good price --

[@lilsisvintage5160]

Love all your videos, always motivates me. Thanks so much for all your work, time and sharing your knowledge.

[@digicthus]

Same here. I always end up posting more items than normal after I watch his videos. I have also been posting items he talks about afterwards as well. If he talks aboit brooches, I post some brooches, and so on. Cheers!

[@veronicalevin2325]

I do postal refunds too, love your videos, have helped a lot

[@MikeinEtna]

Spot on info each and every time. Many thanks !

[@floppybob1121]

I grew up in the town where the Starrett Tools factory is

[@janicetimmins8070]

I bought a BB glove at a yard sale for $1 and sold it on ebay for 90.

[@lisakeller9105]

You I spire me to dig out a record I got for a dollar, made by a well known Quaker in the 40's. He lived where I found it.

[@labohemevintageresell9358]

Love watching your videos ! you are always a wealth of information ! Thank you so much !

[@kmey7067]

Great info! Thank you!!

[@therobinmasterstheory1636]

Great stuff once again.....thanks Don. :)

[@flipt4real762]

Excellent information as usual. Thanks for sharing, Don.

[@kilgoretrout4707]

Just this weekend, I bought a book (Autobiography of Mother Jones, 1925) for $1 and sold it for $300 within 24 hours. A new record for me.

[@MidwestPicker]

Great info Don, thank you!

[@bobsworldentertainmentpodc640]

Love the info

[@rayslavetochrist7311]

Brother just found your channel enjoyed it and subscribed to you keep them coming.

[@lisaysasi7531]

Loved the video Don! Those were awesome $1 money makers! Thanks for sharing!💜💜💜

[@womansworkproductionco]

We just don't have this cool stuff in Phoenix.

[@garygrabarczyk2556]

Great information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and success. Hoping to duplicate your success in my store.

[@sputnik163]

How do you identify that some of this is valuable? I couldn’t find any comps for the skedden music for instance

[@jonathanroofner2375]

Perhaps I've missed the episode but how do I learn about what all this stuff is to know how to list it?

[@joecabezas7721]

Any resale value to Vintage, addressed, Air Mail Envelopes Dated from the 1960s from foreign countries?

[@kandibazaar]

Yeah advertisement was a way to get your name out there -- I missed all the art work from those labels.

[@Charmeliciouslife]

Hi, Do you relist unsold items as sell similar or just let them stay the same until sold. Please forgive me if you made a video on this and I missed it. Thank you!

[@judywapner]

In patreon, are the videos downloadable for watching offline? How long are the videos on average? (As a crazy busy stay at home mom, I love the 15min or less videos)

[@gypsyjunkers4718]

I bought a bunch of 1970s post cards and grouped them together and they haven't sold ...should I list them separately....just wondering if that would help sell them ...thanks for your videos I watch them as much as possible...I recently brought a pack of postcards that go way back ...lol...guess I'll list them separately

[@TheChronic0ne]

Making 12 bucks out of 1, doesn't sound huge, but isn't 1100% huge?! 😄 Nice Video as always

[@kcameronyt]

When do you have time to go find these treasures? (between youTube's and fulfillment)?

[@digicthus]

Question: How do you ship newspapers? I have seen people roll them and ship them in tubes, but I that really makes me uncomfortable. I would like to explore other options and your input would be appreciated. Cheers!

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

We ship them between cardboard similar to how we ship sheet music. We just leave a pocket thick enough to accommodate the newspaper. Never had an issue shipping them this way. We stay away from rolling them as they are fragile for the most part, and flat is the safest.

[@digicthus]

@@TheAuctionProfessor Very good, thank you. I kind of figured that'd be the best way, but the thickness of the newspaper kind of threw me a bit. I have shipped lobby cards and sheet music sandwiched between cardboard, but those are thin. Will play with it. Thanks again. Cheers!

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

Check out the video it will be very helpful. For newspapers we use 2 sides of a 12" cubed box that we cut up. That's show in the video as well. We just make a quarter inch pocket, and then wrap two sides around the paper. Tape it up well, and then Don't Not Bend goes on both sides.

[@digicthus]

@@TheAuctionProfessor I got a bunch of stickers made up when I got a huge lot of lobby cards that read "DO NOT BEND" and upside down under that was "DO NOT FOLD" It only cost me around $20 for 1000 stickers but was well worth it. I will definitely check out those videos. Thanks again. Cheers!

[@debbiedavis9454]

How do you ship your 45 records?

[@johnhayes564]

Love your content very educational! Question: Where do you typically find the vintage postcards? Antique stores?

[@judywapner]

John Hayes I also would like to know where to find postcards. Antique malls?

[@1955RKE]

Athletes are happy when they break a record! 😆

[@rockrollresale2668]

I'd send them the record broken. Maybe they'll find it again with a lesser cover.

[@rubyus7332]

Great stuff! Thank you for posting! Would like to know how do you ship records, fragiles, and even postcards. A regular envelop might be bended; or you use a cardboard for protection?

[@digicthus]

There are 12×12 boxes made specifically for records/LPs and they are adjustable for 1-3 standard albums. They run about 40 cents a box if you buy 50 or more. That's what I use anyway. Sandwiching them between cardboard can lead to breakage, especially the clay 78s. Cheers!

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

We don't buy any pre-made boxes for records. ours cost is a 1/4 of those the way we do. We also only ship 78's(shellac) in a boxes with double cardboard, and cushion. I have several videos on how we ship them up now as well. Never had a single broken disc, in more than 20 years doing it our way. Way safer than the pre-made stuff.

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

I have several videos up right now showing how we pack most all of our items in you How To Playlist.

[@digicthus]

@@TheAuctionProfessor Will be checking those out for sure. Thank you for all the great tips, tricks, and information. Cheers!

[@angie2040]

Where can I look on my eBay seller hub to see percentage of my sales coming from Google/Chrome?

[@angie2040]

I found my own answer. On the performance tab under the traffic chart. It shows how many from within and how many from outside eBay

[@thehammersfamily3943]

Love your content!Any advice of where I can research Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures other than eBay?Thanks for sharing

[@GoFarFarAway.]

I thought bone was not allowed? Is it certain bone?

[@TheAuctionProfessor]

Bone is perfectly fine as long as you identify what type it is. Bovine is what most are made out of (Cow).

[@GoFarFarAway.]

@@TheAuctionProfessor Thank You!

Oh, I’m so bummed that you’re encouraging people to rip up history I’ve tried for decades not to do that
