I’d recommend modifying your video layout so we can see your item’s title. Titling is one of the most important aspects of listing and would aid in your teaching.

Boring is Great! It's amazing how much I've found in the back of closets, in the free box at the end of a sale, or in the bags of donation items I pick up from friends and family. Anything I don't list goes to one of three small thrift stores supporting local programs. Now that I have a new hip I might start dumpster diving again (okay, maybe not). Your videos are always informative and keep me motivated. Thanks to you both!

[@TheChaChingKing]

One of my best finds of all time was dumpster diving. This would have been in the very early 90's. I was driving by this place, not looking to dumpster dive. but something caught my eye. I stopped and jumped out of the car. Mel was wondering if I had lost my mind. Into the trash bin I went. I pulled out a soldier's entire military history. All of his medals. His Purple Heart. His uniform. His paperwork. All of it. His last name, if I am remembering correctly, was Johnson. REALLY common. Still, I grabbed a phone book and thought I would try to find him. I couldn't imagine why this stuff was in the trash. On the third phone call, I found his daughter. There were several pages of Johnsons...and I found his family on the third call. Turns out, her dad (the man who served in WWII) was really struggling with mental health. He had just been admitted to the VA to get some help. But, during his meltdown, he threw away his entire military history into a random dumpster. Obviously, this wasn't "reselling." But I still consider it humbling that I was able to get his stuff back to an incredibly grateful daughter. Incredibly grateful. I'm still not above jumping into a dumpster. Well, I'm a little older. I have to crawl into them these days.

Love learning from you! I grew up in a family that did not sell anything. In fact, selling was such a huge issue that my parents lost money on so many things that people actually asked to buy from them, but they would not sell....unless it was tippy top dollar...which meant it never sold and we ended up giving away most of it, it was too much stuff. I started eBay as a way to NOT leave that to my children.

I completely understand! My son won't have any interest in our stuff. And stuff is just stuff. He's better off if we sell it and leave him with assets instead.

Great video. I have multiples of same items that i am scared that Ebay will ask for an INVOICE of purchase. Hard to prove a private pick or a manifest of a pallet (s) when it is a bulk buy. What do you do in these cases?

[@TheChaChingKing]

I've had it come up before. For me, it was a couple pallets of LED trailer lights. I actually bought them through Rosen Systems. So, obviously I didn't have a record trail from the manufacturer to my store. It was the company who contacted me because my price was lower than retail. The legit thought I was selling counterfeits. I told them where I got them and that they had been at a truck-center in Dallas that went out of business. they accepted the answer. If they had just turned over a counterfeit claim to eBay, I would have taken them down and not relisted them. It's really, really hard to fight if you can't show some proof of origin.

[@metavinci427]

I just listed some (4)x2sets of vintage Dow Jones’s industrial Cera glasses still in box for $200 per. Sell thru is over 100%. Should I have put on auction? I’ve got 2 watchers in the first 2hrs. We grabbed them at a higher end estate sale toward the end on a 50% off day... by the time we finished our pile they dropped the price to 75% off. Woot!

[@TheChaChingKing]

I wouldn't put those on auction. Items that make me think I should have auctioned them get offers immediately and dozens of watchers. If I can pull up sold prices and see about what they go for, I list them BIN.

[@TheChaChingKing]

Given those 2 examples, 10 items a day for 5 days is probably better. It shows that your account is active for several days in a row. eBay favors active stores. That said, if you were normally consistent and had one week where all of your listings went live on one day, I don't think it would make much difference.

[@storybehindit309]

What strategies or overall thought process do you use when trying to determine the price of "one of a kind items" if there are none listed on eBay?

[@TheChaChingKing]

I sell lots of one-of-a-kind items. I start by making sure it's as rare as I believe it to be. Assuming that it is rare, I start by looking for items that are in the same category, even if they are not identical. What have the other items related to mine sold for? I do my best to try and predict the sell through rate. Is it something that I know will sit and have to wait for the right buyer? Or, is it something I believe will have an immediate demand? Typically, I will price those items at a price I believe to be really, really high and turn on best offer. If I'm still afraid that I might be underpricing the item, I might run it on an auction with a really high starting price. We also pay for Worthpoint so that we can look back at any potential comps. I'm also not against postponing listing something until I can get a better feel for what it is. I have a very, very old Chinese scroll I'm still sitting on. I'm not sure if it's a hundred years old or three hundred years old. I'm not sure yet if it's for $300 or $30,000. And that's more of a range than I'm willing to gamble with. My plan is to run it over to Baylor University and get a better idea. So, waiting is always an option. Rare, OOAK items require a bit of educated guessing. And, I believe we get better and better at that over time. I'm certainly better at it today than I was 25 years ago. So, I also rely on my gut feeling when trying to decide exactly what I want to try and do. And, in the end, I think it's important to remember that this is just stuff...and it's just money. If I miss the mark and sell something WAY too cheap, I'll be OK. I'll just start looking for the next big hit.
