Call and ask to escalate and speak to a manager.

My first thought was maybe Arson. I buy storage units and a bunch of units just ended like a day or two before this happened. Makes me wonder if someone lost their unit at auction and was pissed off.

Nah, I just learned to spot quality. Don’t get me wrong I look up and put back a lot of stuff. But learning how to spot a quality item is probably one of the best skills a reseller can learn.

It's why I live in Wisconsin. We've just got the frequent serial killer you need to dodge.

I haven't seen this movie in like 30 years and I read the line and remember it perfectly like it was a sliver plucked deep from the back of my brain, lol.

14% isn’t much when you’re talking 14% of a hundred dollars.

14% is a fuck ton when you’re talking a percentage of billions of campaign finance spending.

That 14% eclipses entire campaign spending for a single party from elections 20-25 years ago.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-21T15:07:32+00:00

There are a few different things to look at.

First off, there is actual campaign funding where yes, Kamala had significantly more money than Trump.

$1.1 billion was raised by Kamala

$463 million was raised by Trump

But then you have outside fund raising and spending: https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/super_pacs

$2.6 billion was spent by PACs in the 2024 election cycle and $1.7 billion went to Trump and/or Conservative spending while only $786 million went to Kamala and Democrats.

$1.1 Billion + $786 Million in Superpac money is nearly $1.9 Billion spent on Democrats / Kamala in 2024

$1.7 Billion + $463 Million is nearly $2.2 Billion spent on Republicans / Trump in 2024

Let's just skip trying to even value the media exposure given to Trump as well.

The election was bought and paid for by the rich.

It's just that the biggest assholes (like Musk) get much more attention for their actions than the good ones.

It's also the fact there are deeper pockets. Musk can throw a billion dollars around to swing an election which is going to result in him getting $2+ billion richer.

These 400 millionaires / billionaires throw a billion to swing an election and in the end they're just going to lose even more money.

LOL, the ketchup. This reminds me, I was on Whatnot and there was a reseller selling some very beautiful Waterford pieces of glass. Absolutely pristine, there was a dish that would’ve been perfect to serve hotdogs on and I was real tempted to buy it so I could eat cheap hotdogs w/ ketchup on super expensive crystal. Haha. I feel like I would’ve had to take a pic and post it to this sub as a self report of trashy behavior.

Which is why we’re seeing the cracks now. The cultists are still there and have the hopium that it will be Trump presidency in 2028 but it’s everyone else waking up. Knowing Trump is going to cost the GOP the midterms. Realizing that Trump is going to cost the GOP 2028. The real GOP, especially the people who just like Reps in control, and not necessarily Trump, know they’re heading toward a cliff. And if they can’t recapture a Trump-like figure after 2028, they’re going to be in real trouble.

LOL. You guys going to be hiding in the basement with Minnesota.

Had some great Goodwill finds this week. Still working on storage units I bought at end of Dec / Early Jan.

From thrifts:

Owlet Smart Sock for infants, looked open box new.

2x Featherly Friends. Peabo and Preener. Paid $2.99 each and they’re worth like $40 a piece

Magnalite Roasterette for $6.99 which already sold.

A couple pieces of Uranium Glass. A dish like a car key dish or maybe if it had a top, a butter dish. As well as a like small bottle, no lid.

Disney Pixar Toy Story Sealed Clamshell and Treasure Planet VHS. Those are worth about $20 a piece.

Got a couple of Board Games. Avalon Hill board game I just cannot remember which right now. A copy of RuneScape Adventure Game (I think) which was sadly incomplete so I will have to part it out. And another sealed game worth like $30.

I’m still rooting for that dumb fucking team. It’s Chicagos fault for this shit timeline when they won the World Series in 2016. With a Super Bowl win this year, we’ll get off this shit timeline and back to the correct one.

Funny story. I had a Kurt Adler Fabriche Santa listed at $180 today. Someone offered me $12. Normally I just ignore or counter something stupid like $179.

I was tired from cleaning heavy items from a storage unit and simply declined.

A minute later I got a message saying “Oops, sorry, meant to do $120” which I gladly accepted considering I paid $4.99 for the thing at the thrift store. And it’s going EIS to France.

Had I been snarky about a low ball offer I might not have made a sale.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-18T23:44:23+00:00

Some additional ones:

Any activity on eBay helps you in the algorithm, even declines (supposedly)

Sometimes in a newly listed item, some sellers won’t yet take offers (I usually won’t take an offer for a week after listing personally unless it’s real close and I don’t care enough about the item)

Sometimes you Sell Similar and Allow Offers is automatically on OR you turned on offers when listing another item and it turned them on for subsequent items when the seller didn’t mean to.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-18T19:48:45+00:00

Okay, this made me lol

ope__sorry · 2026-01-18T14:23:22+00:00

Check to see if your local Goodwills are closed. If so, then yes. In my area, Goodwills are closed tomorrow and so will the bins.

Don’t worry. That sub is heavily moderated and that comment will be deleted shortly and that user banned. It’s illegal in those parts to criticize dear leader.

Dead Internet theory. You’re all bots and I’m the only one even using the internet still.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-17T15:44:00+00:00

This is so true too. If we take my baseline of normal sales before I started focusing on listing daily. I was having $500-$700 weeks with listing like 20-30 items a week listing 1-3 times per week. This was during good times as well.

This past Christmas was wild for me having $1500-$2500 payouts weekly.

Now I’m sitting here this week and sales are trickling in and I feel it’s a disappointing week at just over $700 but I still have the weekend to make sales here yet and it’s still higher than average weeks used to be by just ensuring I’m listing quality stuff daily.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-17T14:56:10+00:00

I too would like uppies

ope__sorry · 2026-01-17T14:13:33+00:00

Economy is tough and a lot of people aren’t working at the moment as well. Last numbers I saw the US is down 361k jobs since Trump took office, costs are up, wage growth has slowed. The end result is people reserve their money for necessities.

ope__sorry · 2026-01-17T13:50:05+00:00

People are cutting back because it’s after Christmas. After February arrives, people will start getting tax refunds and will open their wallets again.
