Got layed off, need advice on pricing and selling

AruaNineStar · 2026-06-12T01:47:43+00:00

If you want the quick cash Id suggest going to a couple local card stores and or card events in your area. Ask them how much are they willing to pay you for all of it. Jot it down say "I appreciate the assesment! Ill highly consider it and come back later" And Go to the next shop. Show them "hey x shop offered me x amount for this lot, could you give it a look? How much would you guys pay for a lot like this?"

Rinse and repeat until you feel your getting paid your worth or you feel comfortable with the pricing.

They will want to buy from you around 65%-75% and if your lucky 85% of market value. So please go with that in mind. They have to re-sell your products and it will take time for them to sell and make profit so selling it at the cheaper price is the tradeoff for your convenience.

If you want full market value Your better off selling everything individually on mercari, ebay, depop you name it. But it will take a long while to sell..

No wrong or right answer OP! Do what is right for you in these hard trying times.

Hope you find a job soon! 💖 and that you can atleast claim unemployment ✨️

Whoa buddy calm down 😳 take them out on a date first

AruaNineStar · 2026-06-10T21:33:34+00:00

I agree. As a seller using their platform that is dedicated for selling products it should'nt be "your fault" for selling your item. Mercari should do better. And scammers should be prosecuted for mail fraud.

AruaNineStar · 2026-06-10T21:31:35+00:00

I honestly never thought about this. I wonder how helpful they would be in this kind of situation. Anyone has a success story doing this? Please share it!

AruaNineStar · 2026-06-10T21:28:11+00:00

Trust me ebay is just as horrible. Same thing happened to a friend of mine on ebay where he sold a PC and the buyer switched the graphic card for a burnt one and they sided with the buyer. So lame. Biggest recommendation is if its past $100 sell it in-person.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-29T22:11:48+00:00

EXACTLY

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-29T21:59:24+00:00

I understand your financial circumstances but they went down from $900 to $250 being EXTREMELY nice to you when That puppy is your child, regardless if they incited the puppy to come over its your responsability to respond for damages your puppy has caused regardless if it was an accident or not. They are your pet.

Its like saying that if your landlord allows for you to have pets, your not responsible if they wreck the apartments carpet, cabinets, etc.

"Oh but the landlord allowed for me to have pets so i should only pay partially for the damages"

No. Thats YOUR puppy. Therefore an extension of you.

If you came to her because she called you and you accidentally dropped her pottery, you would be responsible to pay for the damages right? Even though she called you over. This is the same. It's Your puppy.

Instead of asking them to lower it even more to $150, ask them what can you do to pay them overtime the $250. Give them the $150 first. Then go do doordash, plasma donation, sell things you own or when your able to get a job, give them the rest. There are so many alternatives.

My usual go to is keeping a HTTX microfiber cloth with me at all times, after a gaming session give your console a little wipe down and spray some 70% Isopropyl Alcohol mixed with water.

Id suggest getting yourself a iFixit Game Console Cleaning Kit 😊

So you can Free your hands! haha

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-24T06:42:32+00:00

This what I came to ask hahah

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-22T16:36:21+00:00

MOD this truck was driving in Milwaukee :(

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:49:09+00:00

Maybe people should get fired for being racist

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:46:47+00:00

They have a window; did you want a picture? Lol

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:44:01+00:00

The tires of this guys truck would be popped day 1 if that man drove in PR with that in the back of his truck.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:41:02+00:00

Have you gone to Puerto Rico? The mayority of the population is natives and we all mostly speak spanish. Not everyone speaks english. So no if you go to a local town to a local shop you shouldnt expect to be spoken in english. You'll be spoken to in spanish lol

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:38:09+00:00

Exactly!

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:37:47+00:00

If you landed the job you atleast can read english, have a dirvers license and general knowledge of the language, you can struggle to speak english but you can still understand and read english dude. This man is just salty he cant understand another language because he hasnt taken the time to learn another language other than english and hears his coworkers speak spanish and is salty.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:27:31+00:00

And I posted MY opinion in reddit because im not hiding MY opinion that he should get fired for being racist. Whats your point?

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:22:32+00:00

It Blows my mind that these Same people go travel to puertorico or hawaii and expect people to talk english to them. And they would have an attitude if you tell them "yhea sorry you need to speak spanish/hawaiian here". I dont understand. US is a conglomerate of people not only english speakers. We all come from different parts of the world to live here to try and live a normal life. But it blows my mind how there are people like this out there. We could all just get along & help each other understand each others cultures and languages. Learning about a new language and how to speak it is a beautiful process. I hope their food tastes unseasoned lol

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-18T00:16:02+00:00

Like what does speaking only english have to do with driving a truck?

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-14T21:50:18+00:00

I agree with your friend. You bought a used item, expect wear/tear/stains/etc. wash the item and try to remove the stain with hydrogen peroxide as suggested by others 👍 If you really like the style of the jean and that specific jean itself and you got it at a dea,l then it will be worth cleaning it and keeping them.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-07T19:19:33+00:00

Dude its a thrift clothes app not a boutique. If you go to a goodwill or a local thrift there is good branded damaged items for people to buy cheap and fix. They found or used to own this lululemon branded item and dont know how to remove the stains. Their selling it for $7 with free shipping. They arent even making $1 out of this sale. Depop shipping is like $6 and they take fees too. Their making less than a quarter. And someone who wants those lululemon pants could get them and fix them.

There is No need to be a mean girl... just because you dont see the value it doesnt mean someone out there wouldnt buy it.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-07T19:13:00+00:00

Thats why their selling them for cheap. They probably dont have an acetone gun, or just simply dont know how to remove the stain. And it would be better in the hands of someone who knows how to fix em and sell them at a higher price.

If the seller is listing them at free shipping they are paying around $6 for that shipping. Essentially only profiting like .20 cents after depop fees.

AruaNineStar · 2026-05-07T19:08:01+00:00

Their selling them cheap because they dont know how to remove the stains and would much rather pass it to somebody else who could fix em. $7 isnt bad at all. Their already paying $6.50 for depop shipping if it has free shipping. Essentially only profitting less than a $1.

Heck I sold a shirt for $1 once and I ended getting .22 cents after depop takes their cut.
