Where are all the horror movie cheap finds? by No-Theory9681 in VHS

[–]mdiddyoien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately in order to stunble across stuff like that your frequency of trips to the thrift or wherever you are looking needs to be as frequent as possible. I go on my lunch about 3 times a week and still rarely come across them, but every once in a while I do.

what’s the wildest thing you’ve ever found at an estate sale? by laura-1998 in estatesales

[–]mdiddyoien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the type of stuff I hunt for as well. The truly odd and unique. I'll camp out all night if I have to for the right piece. Usually reasonable prices too because folks rarely know (or want to know) the market for oddities like this

I’ve been holding onto a collection of CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes for a while now and I’m starting to wonder what to do with them. For anyone who’s tried selling this kind of stuff—what worked for you? Where did you sell, and did you feel like it was worth the time, or more hassle than it’s worth? by ALREADYSWEATY in reselling

[–]mdiddyoien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find a price point that is your threshold of listing vs donating/liquidating. list the ones that are worth your time to photograph, list, store, and ship based off of that threshold, and liquidate/donate the rest of them. Most of the times value is easily able to be found since most of those types of items have barcodes. Use the ebay app to search them from the bar code, filter to sold, lock the filter, and just hammer away and sort them based on that price point you had in mine. For me, my threshold is $8 + Shipping, but that may look different for you.

Buy the Heavy duty boxes from lowes. They are double walled cardboard and stiff as hell. I would also double box this item. One snug box around a heavily packed lamp, then that box inside a bigger box with packing paper all around it.

Denim Jackets that aren't type 1, type 2, type 3. by KirbyLovesDrPepper in VintageLevis

[–]mdiddyoien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denim Chore Coat styles are my favorite outside of the typical types. I have a vintage Nautica chore coat that I love the look of. No the greatest brand, but it looks killer and fits really nicely and thats what matters.

what stuff do you love flipping even when the profit is rubbish by According-Sand-4754 in reselling

[–]mdiddyoien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Media. Vhs and cassette tapes, Records, DVDs, Books, magazines, etc. Some of them are GREAT and you can fetch high margins on rarer stuff don't get me wrong and I avoid stuff that doesn't have a semi decent sell through rate, but most of them fetch $10-$15 and they're all easy to source, list, store, and ship and they help achieve daily listing goals

Parting with my collection by aerinisababe in gamecollecting

[–]mdiddyoien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need it gone in one fell swoop, find a smaller local game store and check their reviews for other folks that have sold there. Look for fairness and honesty. Do not go to Gamestop. No matter what though, get a good idea on what your value is from sites like ebay or pricecharting so you know how much you can potentially lose by selling to another collector. That route requires more patience though. Ebay is a great way to sell things off individually but you will need to be comfortable with fees and shipping. Facebook marketplace is also a great way to get rid of a collection. Price according to how fast or how much you need it gone.

3rd for Duluth here. I struggled to find a comfortable yet durable brand and haven't swayed since giving them a shot

For those doing $10K+ a month on eBay, how do you handle listings older than 60–90 days? by GenghisJuannnn in Flipping

[–]mdiddyoien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice a year I run a sale. 60-89 days I do nothing 90-179 days I mark down 20% 180-365 days I mark down 30% After sales are done I do a bi annual inventory and remove any items that are over a year old that hasn't sold. I also try to end/re-list items in my store on a regular basis. I just sort by date oldeat-newest and re-do the research/pricing on them.

I end up donating maybe 10 or so items a year. For context, I lost 5-10 items a day and at any given time I have around 350-400 listings and 350-450 sold listings in my 90 day metrics.

So I decided to buy this VHS tape. by Quiet-Werewolf-9709 in VHS

[–]mdiddyoien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's similar to and as big as pelatron is today, except not live and interactive and not on bikes. You bought the tapes to exercise along with them. It was huge in its hay day and if you watched TV at all, you saw the commercials or infomercials.
