I really like this concept. I think if you have it photographed and drafted that should count. If you need to buy a box or something before you hit the list button it is fine because you have done all the work already which is the point of the challenge.

Maybe the penalty should be having to list the item that needs the most work or cleaning something that you’ve been putting off (shoes, stain treating,etc) I love this concept😃

LOL! Love this video! I think the penalty should be something that still advances the success of your sales. Perhaps for each item you don;t get listed on time you have to increase your listings the next week by two additional listings. THAT would be enough to inspire me to push ahead with that last one or two items listed on time. LOL!
@amyfrey250110 күн бұрын
Love this listing game! I may have to try it/something similar. I think the penalty I would give to myself would be that any 'fails' increase the difficulty - maybe add an extra item to subsequent rounds! That way its a fairly stiff penalty to motivate you, BUT the penalty also benefits you in that you list more.

This was a fun way to get things listed in your death pile! As for selling “adult” and “scandalous” items, I have no problem with it. If it’s going to make me money and make someone else happy, I’m all for it! In fact, I have two an Aunt Jemima/Mammy items to list soon and I’m a little nervous but there are plenty listed on EBay, so I’m not the only one!

About a year ago, I bought a stack of 80s/90s adult magazines for $1 each. I’ve been sitting on them because I wasn’t quite sure how to list them. You’ve inspired me to bundle them up and give it a shot. I’m just not sure how to photograph them, I guess just front/back covers and edges to show condition?

I don't blame you at all for selling the mags, that's a terrific ROI. I would only be worried about platforms taking it down for inappropriate content? But obviously not an issue if others are doing it too. I happened to have a long sleeve t-shirt I sold that was an Easy Riders biker/flames/skull logo graphic and it sold for more than I thought it would. Only downside of this way of listing is you may be listing things in the off season and not making as much money for them, imho. Thanks for the video!

I don't think a penalty is needed because you had very valid reasons for not listing the mags by your deadline AND you listed them once you got your boxes and more issues. So I say you deserved an extension. Now on to the next round.

I like the visual representation of how much is clothing versus shoes versus other stuff. I also want to set myself up to be able to choose a specific item if I wanted to. For example if I chose 8 clothing items in a row randomly, I might purposefully choose a different color. Or maybe at some point I’ll do a video where I draw like 30 clothing items only. The colors allow me to change things up in the future if I want!
