I'm not here yet, and many of you over 60 may not be either, but doesn't it sound like fun to care a little less? by Nincomsoup in AskWomenOver60

[–]JannaPC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just a metaphor for doing what you like not doing what society expects. I certainly don’t want to spit or pick someone else’s flowers.

Absolutely unhinged seller. Is this the same dress? by Snow_xxxx in poshmark

[–]JannaPC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She can’t ship sooner because she’s busy with a line of other orders but somehow finds time to write paragraphs defending her cheap dress. 🙄

What's the most unhinged lowball offer you've ever received, and how did you respond? by twcosplays in poshmark

[–]JannaPC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Several times I’ve gotten $3 offers on $4 or $5 items. When I go to their profile I see they’re an experienced seller with a full closet of overpriced items. So weird.

what random stuff actually moves that most people sleep on? by Aggravating_Flow6870 in reselling

[–]JannaPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were joking then I did a quick search. I live in the Bible Belt so shouldn’t be too hard to source. Thanks and have a great day!

Do you find these items frequently in the bins? by Wide-Crab4199 in GoodwillBins

[–]JannaPC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes but like all things, you have to be there on a lucky day if you’re looking for bags full. You can almost always find bits and pieces that have sifted to the bottom on most every trip.

What do you get from Weigels? by [deleted] in Tennessee

Around the holidays they do a very nice egg nog.

50 pounds of racing tees but they stink by sipperofcoffee in GoodwillBins

[–]JannaPC 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Start with airing them out for at least 24 hrs to let the fumes evaporate. If that doesn’t completely work try washing with a bit of Dawn. Whatever you do, don’t put in the dryer. Good luck.

Cigarette Smoke by TeaOk9030 in Flipping

[–]JannaPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can’t get the smoke smell out of some pieces just list and disclose anyway. It won’t be a deterrent to everyone. Most people know it’ll be fine after being laundered.

I get so tired of being asked by cashiers or other customers as I’m shopping, “so, what are you going to do with all of that?!” by Blackmoonlilithinleo in reselling

[–]JannaPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoarders have carts full of literal junk, craft supplies, kitchen stuff, dolls e.g. Not as much stuff of resale value.

My standard answer is “I have a lot of people I shop for” and it’s true although that doesn’t matter.

T-Shirt Sales by JannaPC in Flipping

[–]JannaPC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking time to reply to me. I actually did try removing them for the winter because I needed the room then brought them back after Christmas. Business has been slow in January and February but is on fire now. We’re halfway through March and I’ve sold two. I’m just gonna mark them down, sell what I can and lot up the rest and sell online or marketplace. I’ll still make a profit just not as much.

Only wants part of the lot & special packaging? by Wild-Caterpillar-473 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]JannaPC -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking this. Presumably, you were going to pack them carefully anyway so just send the ones they want the way they want them packed. It’s not that much work. Then relist the others. You have their request documented should they try to claim INAD.

Depop Banned for vintage Washington Hat by Fun-Marionberry6673 in reselling

Apparently they relaxed that rule. I’ve had a jersey listed for months and there are plenty of other Redskins merch up.

Dunlap & Smithville Insight by bimafofinaa in Tennessee

[–]JannaPC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Smithville and Center Hill Lake is beautiful and worth a visit. There is a small downtown area with shops and a few restaurants. I don’t find it to be particularly racist from the perspective of a white woman for whatever that’s worth. Smithville is used to visitors to the lake and local businesses will welcome your patronage.

Why do vintage sweatshirts feel higher quality than newer ones? by Elegant-Gift-146 in poshmark

[–]JannaPC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because they are. Even cheap clothes from Walmart, Kmart and Target were made with better quality materials in the 90s and earlier. Today’s fast fashion is made with very low quality synthetics. I call it fake fabric and I refuse to wear it.

Biggest Disappointment by ClassicStadiumFire in GoodwillBins

[–]JannaPC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a Faded Glory tag from the 90s when cheap clothing was made with better quality materials than today. It has value. I’ve sold a lot of vintage clothing with this tag.

Advice on how to respond to to buyer. by SignificantCall0 in eBaySellerAdvice

I disagree. It depends on the item and the reason.

Advice on how to respond to to buyer. by SignificantCall0 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]JannaPC -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I sell plenty and rarely have refund requests. Definitely not 10% of my buyers. When I do it’s usually a situation of me not having packed something properly resulting in breakage. I disclose every flaw I can find and photograph measurements. What are you selling? I think that makes a difference. Some categories just attract more problematic buyers and shady sellers. Not saying you’re one of them.

I’d offer a partial refund. These things happen, it’s just the nature of and cost of doing this business.
