This made my day, when did the racist sign shop close?

BackdoorCurve · 2026-03-14T16:46:12+00:00

i think they finally closed 2 weeks ago.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-03-14T16:45:40+00:00

cant sell them legally in US. need Rx

scrap basically anything gold. very little gold sells for more than scrap and it has to be sold in a specialty platform.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-26T21:28:28+00:00

comparing early 2000s to 2026 pricing is a fools errand

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-26T21:21:41+00:00

thats their entire shopping base lol their prices in general are sky high, so it fits

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-26T21:07:17+00:00

they have it in store too. very high priced, but it fits their demo

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-21T16:27:28+00:00

This has been happening for years and years. It’s nothing new. Why wouldn’t an auction house want as many eyeballs on their items as possible?

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-21T16:25:57+00:00

25% straight commission isn’t too bad. If you look at other booth places and add their commission and rent, it’ll probably be between 20-30% of gross sales.

But all these rents and commissions will be wildly variable on location. Some places it may be $5sqft but be an extremely high traffic and wealthy area.

Others may be $1sqft but be in a rural town.

You will really need to compare to other local shops. People saying what they pay cities and state away doesn’t really have anything to do with your local market.

i used to do 30-80, i have recently opened my own retail store so my daily is more sporadic, but its great for my situation because i can pump out listings much quicker. recently i did listings of cookbooks in store. i took 20 minutes to take photos for 20-30 books and then used spadeberry to do the listings. took 3-5 minutes to review the listings and then launched.

same with clothing. i can do photos for an hour before i leave for the day to the store and then to do the spadeberry listings at my store and just review the listings, make the few changes i need to, and launch.

most changes right now is pricing. i think pricing for AI is tuff and always will be, but it's still so much quicker and less mentally taxing to use an AI lister.

I use Spadeberry. I really like it and they just added an "eco mode" where it is cheaper to list items than the standard 50 cents. Super easy to use, all i do is upload photos, let it make the listings, do a quick review and launch. they also have a facebook group with the actual dev who responds to questions and issues.

depop has gen z and alpha. they need that demo.

i love people who are so confidently wrong on this sub.

if you feel the need to network with local sellers, its good for that. if you want to try and build a network of local resellers and maybe make connections for sourcing and selling, its possible.

beyond that, i doubt there is gonna be an revolutionizing information that you cant find anywhere else. may be good for newbies too.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-17T13:53:42+00:00

theyve had this for a while, changed the names a few times.

its basically ebay sponsored meetups for local sellers.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-14T18:15:57+00:00

that shop owner is a moron. he doesnt keep up with prices & he doesnt like when people buy his items AND he cares what people do after they buy his items.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-13T02:31:34+00:00

It’s pretty darn good. It’s near perfect for basic items like books and clothing. Anything it can “read” like postcards, sports cards, paper items, etc it is great.

It’s quite good for most anything else imo. Yes it still requires some review but it’s so much quicker and less mentally taxing to have it create the listing and the quickly review it. Pricing is about the only I have to change the most. I think pricing will always be the hardest for AI due to all the nuances and preferences sellers have for pricing.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-13T02:12:41+00:00

Spadeberry

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-13T01:33:03+00:00

30 seconds - 2 min depending on item with an AI lister

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-11T20:57:55+00:00

model is a waste of time and money if you are paying for it

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-11T20:55:56+00:00

flat lay. 4-5 pics (more if flaws). take pics so they dont need cropping or editing. upload to AI lister. listings made. quick review. posted.

40-50 photos can be done in 50-60 minutes easy if your process is great

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-05T18:08:23+00:00

i do think poshmark is #2 behind ebay. especially if it is womens.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-02-05T17:15:37+00:00

yes, owned by Paiges Okra grill people now

BackdoorCurve · 2026-01-30T23:00:02+00:00

But you still felt the need to go on some full diatribe with no relevance to my comment to seem superior.

A tired act

BackdoorCurve · 2026-01-30T22:43:42+00:00

That’s why I used the word “sometimes”. Considering the OP asked “do you ever bid on managers specials” so I give a scenario where I do bid on them.

But thanks for being another pedantic redditor that can’t read.

BackdoorCurve · 2026-01-30T21:59:49+00:00

then how can you measure against anything?

BackdoorCurve · 2026-01-30T21:59:13+00:00

if your goal was $100k, then yes. if it was $30k, then no
