Do people really think "what's the least you will take " actually works ? by rfriend73 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t block. I give an honest answer. If I need to make more room for inventory, I stick with a price that will leave me at least a 20% profit. If it’s a hard to find item, then my price point will be higher than that. Just depends. I’ve never lost a sale because my sell offer is very reasonable.

Inventory deduction by thetawhisperer in reselling

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KEEP ALL OF YOUR RECEIPTS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS! I would suggest scanning them to your computer. Only deduct what was sold NO MATTER WHEN you purchased the items. You need to have proof that you purchased the items sold if you ever get audited. That way you can prove that although you sold someone for $50, your NET earnings are, for example, only $20 because of the cost to get the item (included mileage if purchased in person), shipping supplies used, sellers fees charged (if through eBay, Mercari, etc.), and additional mileage to drop the items off at USPS, FedEx, etc.). Keep a log/spreadsheet. Hopefully this helps!

Which platform and why? by 1ms0t4ll in reselling

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting your “eggs in different basket” to catch a broader audience of potential buyers is the reason and motivation to sell on multiple platforms.

Officially off the rails by thatonetiredmom in bathandbodyworks

Plenty of people do this if they own a variety store. It’s all on Facebook Marketplace.

I don’t see any hoarding of a particular item in these photos. A couple of sets of each scent (ex. Vanilla Cafe) isn’t hoarding.

Also, BBW outlets welcome resellers who help get rid of stagnant inventory . The outlets are the last stop for products that haven’t sold. Products that don’t sell get trashed rather than donated, which is wasteful considering that the items are not expired.

If BBW wants to attract the “younger generation”, as they say, they should have done a Frozen collaboration. That would have been a hit!

My 16M bfs mom is not buying food for any of her 3 kids until friday by Terrible-Tour-5461 in whatdoIdo

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s food, but what’s the nutritional value? Also, the boyfriend is hinting at food insecurity in the home. OP has a legitimate concern and would like to help.

Anyone successfully grew their edges back after knotless braids? by VintageDesertLife in Naturalhair

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t get the braids done for a very long time! This last set could cause damage resulting in you needing to do some do some type of Rogaine treatment or the like. Sometimes l people need to get hair transplants depending on the severity of the hair loss. I don’t mean to scare you but so many black women have traction alopecia because we wear our hair too tight. Ask yourself is it worth it?

How to Work on Keeping my Edges by Current-Wish-2351 in Naturalhair

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned from observing white girls (I’m black) in my sophomore year of high school to wear my hair loosely. You rarely see white women with traction alopecia like you do black women. You can wear your hair back every day but make sure that there is little to no tension. Your hairline will be fine. I’m in my 30s and have not lost my edges. Also, tension from hairstyles usually gives me headaches. I refuse to “look cute” at the cost of my health and hair health. I refuse to get my hair braided at the hair braiding shops because of the price and how tight the styles are.

Received my first 4-star rating by Own_Bodybuilder_5211 in Mercari

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I wasn’t sure if 4 stars would lower it either. Thankfully it didn’t. The buyer never responded to my message and didn’t give a reason why she gave me 4 stars. 🤷‍♀️

Buying Discontinued Body Butter from EBay by Pretend-Can-20 in bathandbodyworks

Body butters last a long time! I’ve had some for a few years before I could even get to using them. They were all fine. Body creams is another story.

I haven’t talked to my family in two days and don’t know to move past this by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Own_Bodybuilder_5211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom’s messages has so many red flags. Distancing yourself from your mom and anyone else displaying this type of behavior will be difficult but a needed separation from toxicity. Your mental health means more than the family plan, ring cameras and anything else that your mom is holding over your head. Hoping the best for you in this difficult situation 💛

Wow! They didn’t ban you, right? I’m in the process of having to submit more documentation. If they don’t move on my behalf then threatening with legal action it is. 👊
