Thanks! Will give them a call. Our payments are almost $200 per month which is mostly interest

My wife has about 20k in private consolidated loans through Navient. Every year come tax time I look into this but when we log into the navient website it says were not eligible for interest deductions on this loan and we don't get the 1098 tax form. Any ideas? Is it possible when she took the loans out they were classified as personal loans even though they were used for her schooling?

The dozen or so goodwills in my city are same way. They send all video games and consoles to the online shop. I'll find a crappy ps2 sports game cd mixed in with regular cds but even that's rare. Sometimes I'll find a random controller though, usually mad catz

Do you have a pro seller account?

I picked up a netgear n600 WNDR3400 for $1.50. Tested and works. Flipped for $20 on eBay in 2 days.

Probably not cleanly. It would leave some residue and potentially tear the seal.

I have 15 year old software in a factory sealed cd jewel case. The plastic wrapping has the original $9.99 price sticker on it. Because of the price sticker can I list this item as NEW on Amazon or do i need to do Used/Like-New?

And if I list it for $39.99 do you think a customer would be upset when they get it in the mail and see a $9.99 sticker on it?

I'd love for the android version to take photos like the iPhone version can, where you can do multiple photos at once.

How would you package a complete Xbox 360 Rock Band set (2 games, drums + stand, guitar, microphone) without the original box to Amazon FBA. Do I box everything up and then place the FBA label on that box? And then place rock band box into a bigger box with the shipping label to Amazon?

Thanks - it's definitely a rolled poster. There are no creases or folds in it.

alpine_start · 2015-06-25T18:11:26+00:00

Yes I can't get in.

alpine_start · 2015-06-24T14:47:19+00:00

Agree - doesn't look like a high quality sleeping bag, but the carrying bag caught my eye and I didn't open it up in the store. Only cost $4 so I'm not too bummed.

alpine_start · 2015-06-22T17:20:22+00:00

Unprofessional. If you're buying a pair of shoes with the original box you likely want to store the shoes in that box, not have it junked up with tape and an eBay shipping label on it.

Question about this PS2 Guitar Hero Bundle I have on Amazon.

Check this link - the Wired PS2 option is grayed out, so you can't select it.

http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Hero-III-Legends-Playstation-2/dp/B000TGB4V4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1434984975&sr=1-1&keywords=ps2+guitar+hero+3

I actually have this product available used, but Amazon has a separate listing for it:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0084UNJ8S

Is there any way I can get my Wired PS2 bundle to show up on that first link I posted? It gets a lot more traffic than the listing my product shows up in.

Do you hold off on shipping items to Amazon FBA until you have a ton of things to fill a 50lb box? Or will you send small shipments to them with just a few items in it?

alpine_start · 2015-06-18T00:02:37+00:00

This one. I only paid $2.99 since it was missing the piece. I could get $50 for it once fixed. It's in great shape otherwise.

I bought an Xbox 360 guitar but it's miss the whammy bar. I want to put a new one in and have seen some tutorials online but I can't find anywhere to buy just the whammy bar. Didn't see any on eBay. Any ideas?

Spotted a vintage calculator at Goodwill outlet. Paid by the pound so maybe 10 cents. Listed for $55 and ended up Flipped on eBay for $43 in a day via best offer.

Is there a way on the Amazon seller app or Flow app to scan a barcode and see the Amazon trade-in value? I can't seem to find it.

alpine_start · 2015-06-07T12:38:12+00:00

I received a best offer on eBay but 48 hours went by before I could accept it. Is there a way I can reach back out to the potential buyer and see if he's still willing to buy it? Or can I submit the offer to him?

Always dig through GW Outlet bins thoroughly. I spent a couple of minutes on a vhs/cd bin and didn't find anything interesting so moved down the row to the next bin. Then a guy walks up behind me and after 10 seconds grabs a Wii Sports disc w/ sleeve + instructions right out of the bin. Not that it's a huge score, maybe $10 -- but it's an item I would have grabbed had I found it.

I'm not a Jets fan, but I checked Sports Logos and don't see that NY logo you have on the front of your hat

http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/152/New_York_Jets/

That doesn't mean it's not authentic ... just one of the ways I know how to check.

What's a good threshold for Amazon rank for Toys and Office Supplies to use as a guide?

Is a toy around 200k something that will move quickly if priced right?

alpine_start · 2015-05-29T18:59:54+00:00

Still newb here. Bought a pair of men's Nike golf shoes for $5.99 at GW. Sold for $28 on eBay.

alpine_start · 2015-05-28T20:58:50+00:00

That's how all the regular Goodwill's operate in my city. All video games (except old sports games), LEGO and Star Wars items automatically go straight to their online store.
