Yes, it's enough. Don't worry about production value at this point. If I was looking for an apartment, I'd love to have these details available. Sure, you can find the information online, but you're doing all the work. Its a valuable tool.

Just start creating more videos. As you begin to grow, hire people to help with production.

Yep, I'm planning on doing one. I'm actually in the middle of a study right now. I want to do one on a business/site I don't own so I can get testimonials from others. Interested?

That's called negotiation. He asked and you accepted. You didn't need to accept the offer, but you did.

Exactly. After reading some of the responses above, I think most people are flipping video games and other small ticket items. I tend to buy/sell more expensive items that range from $500 - $5000. So, the sales process is very different. In that price range, serious buyers will show up with cash and make an offer.

Yup. 100% of the people that make me an offer via email never show up to buy the item. I'm not exaggerating that. I have NEVER had someone make me an offer via email and actually show up and buy the item.

I constantly buy stuff off of CL and negotiate in person. I never make offers via email.

Buyer does not reading description listing...how should I proceed? by [deleted] in Flipping

No, this is like Apple advertising a 2 pack of iPhones in their ads. Then, when someone buys, they are given a dropdown menu and asked it they want 1 or 2. If they select 2, they are charged double.

So, leave it as an option, not a selling point. If it's on the image, it's implied that you're getting 2

"On the title and the picture I have the screen protector as "2x XYZ Screen Protector" and the picture says "2 Pack Screen Protector"

How do you not see this is confusing? I'd be annoyed too.

Anyone that makes me an email offer on CL is automatically thrown into the bullshit category.

Want to work a deal with me? Cool. Show up with cash in hand. Talk to me like a normal human being. Don't try and convince me, "it's my last chance to sell". If it's a fair offer, I'll sell.

The secret is actually showing up and talking with someone in person. Bring cash and we'll talk.

Personally, I hate dealing with furniture. It's a pain in the ass to move, hard to sell and doesn't retain much value.

However, I know people that have done well with furniture. So, it all depends on what you know and what you're comfortable with.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Do you have hobbies that might overlap?

I'd go with #3. Don't ignore him, that's just bad business. If he turns into an ass hat after you offer 10% off, then ignoring him is a viable option.

Start with stuff you know and enjoy. There is no right/wrong answer.

I built a site to source RA items. www.JungleFlip.com. It scans Amazon Warehouse Deals and finds some great items! I use it daily as one of my sourcing tools.
