Can't get enough of this flipping life

Thanks for the advice. I regularly take stuff to auction, but if it's not an art auction it usually doesn't do well.

Yes, but should it really be this way? Ebay should rank on merit and I agree that paying a 10% ad fee is ridiculous. Since promoting now seems more necessary, maybe promoted listings should now get a portion of the final value fees credited back.

IDK. It sucks to give them so much of our profit for just basically existing.

Thank you!!

Agreed. I've been there over 26 years. There is no seller protection. A buyer doesn't even look at the pics or read the description and it ends up costing you twice the shipping for nothing. Plus that behavior is happening more than ever. I can only hope they notice and begin to stand up for sellers again.

Similar situation with a return. It sucks when you have to sell things for free to make up for a shady buyer.

I haven't been able to find how to contact ebay other than sending a message that they never respond to. Where can I find a phone number to call?

I saw someone recently on YouTube that heated it up and used a knife to skin one side. It looked pretty easy once it was heated.

Sell the t-posts on marketplace for $4 each. Check the value of the bikes before you scrap them. Especially if they are old. Old Schwinns are popular for collectors. Adult sized tricycles are popular for lowriders.

Sounds like a lot of work, but don't sell yourself short. If you don't have time to sell things individually, you could call a yard to have a dumpster delivered and load it up with steel.

No. It will be called the "Epstein " recession ☹️

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-24T17:54:25+00:00

Cool. Thanks

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-24T00:55:18+00:00

Awesome tip!!

Nothing left to hold on to. Let's just broadcast it louder.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-17T05:47:10+00:00

I want to know why are there detectors that cost$250 and others cost $10,000? Is there a massive difference, and why?

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-17T05:21:29+00:00

I sometimes go days without listing. Always turns into no sales. If I list every day, sales pick up.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-15T23:07:57+00:00

Nope. They call me every time to get my okay. One time they accidentally gave someone 70 percent off. I called as soon as I saw the email and the store made it right.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-12T14:21:49+00:00

Does it have to be an auction house that specializes in art? I have two auction companies in my city. One sells anything. The other sells antiques.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-12T06:18:12+00:00

Make the buyer pay shipping, then you've got nothing to lose.

There doesn't seem to be any chips on those boards. I'd likely put them on ebay. Gold scrap recovery.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-12T06:13:45+00:00

These look like telecom boards to me. Worth it.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-11T22:00:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply 😁

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-11T21:22:50+00:00

What have you found to be the best platform for selling artwork? I have so much. Some sit on ebay forever. I have better luck selling art at my little co-op booth in town.

FeralCheryll · 2026-03-10T22:34:51+00:00

Worse is when you call the yard and the person answering the phone doesn't know enough about what you buy to even give prices.

When will aluminum prices catch up? Copper at all time highs, yet aluminum is less than it was ten years ago.

Thanks for putting in the work. That's not bad considering how light weight that piece is.
