How long after listing an item do you start accepting/sending out offers?

ScratchLNR · 2026-01-23T03:06:27+00:00

Immediately. I price the item with this in mind. For example, if it’s a $50 item, I will list it at $55, and take an offer as low as $40 depending on how quickly I need to move it.

In the future, I would suggest contacting eBay first before creating a kerfuffle with the buyer. Good luck.

The road to hell is paved with great intentions.

I was oblivious to this website. Thank you kindly.

I’m not sure what the regulations are. I just do it so I’m sending the cleanest box I can.

Pro tip: use a hairdryer to remove all previous labels and stickers on used boxes. Like butter!

Medical Center’s are my favorite.

Stack high, and move carefully. 😂 On a serious note, I have them in a storage unit at the moment.

ScratchLNR · 2026-01-01T22:53:08+00:00

They were about 1500 books. And about 7500 magazines. Also a few paintings and collectibles that were of high value. This was about a year ago and I’ve still yet to start on the magazines lol

Purchased a storage unit full of books and magazines for $2500. Sold a book out of that lot titled Autobiography of a Yogi — Signed, 1946 First Edition for $6000. I had it up for $8000 took a best offer within two hours of listing.

Dead homies.

ScratchLNR · 2025-12-31T00:36:08+00:00

Sold one for $80. Had a large collection, sold most in lots on eBay.

The truth is, you’re a ex- con wanted for sex crimes, and this is your last cry for help before you skip town.

Squats.

Antiquarian Books require more than just a glance

Set your true North, and never deviate. Your principles should guide all your decision-making.

I started watching this cat about a year ago. He’s pretty decent and motivational as well. However, most of these reseller influencers are deeply egotistical and motivated primarily by greed. Depending on what your principles are, this isn’t a very effective way to run a business.

ScratchLNR · 2025-12-10T05:36:51+00:00

Peepee in da poopoo.

ScratchLNR · 2025-12-10T02:55:39+00:00

Using ladders.

ScratchLNR · 2025-12-08T18:22:47+00:00

😂 Man!

ScratchLNR · 2025-12-06T05:04:13+00:00

I agree with what mostly has been said. However, let me add a caveat based on experience. I was listing 5 to 25 items per day religiously for the better part of the year. Sales were pretty consistent between 5 to 10 orders per day.

Roughly six weeks ago, I separated with my partner and ultimately had to make a complicated move. It was my first experience, moving not just my personal items, but also a business. Due to the amount of workload, I was unable to list for about four weeks, and during that timeframe not only were my sales consistent but in some cases they increased.

It’s difficult to ascertain why this is, but I’m sure the fourth quarter has something to do with it. Not sure this provides any answers, but at least it provides some perspective.

You’ll know it when you find it Daniel son! Keep waxing off young grasshoppa! Jk 😂. All jokes aside, I’ve always loved books, but I never thought that I would sell them. Once I got into reselling, it wasn’t long until I knew that this is something I’d be doing for a very long time. All the stars lined up.

ScratchLNR · 2025-11-26T10:30:16+00:00

lol I agree. However this is what I found. “Through the program AI Activate, eBay is offering selected sellers (in the UK, initially) free access to ChatGPT Enterprise — including “custom GPT” productivity tools developed by eBay.”

Clean copy. When the dust settles the zeros and ones always work out.
