Who /succesfulebaysellerhere/?

recently got a ton of casino memorabilia. not successful yet, trying to figure out how to price the shit and not get raped by shipping fees since most of my junk isn't worth more than a couple bucks each.

do i ship via USPS and risk bad claims, or ship with tracking and pay more? pretty sure ill ship via usps until some bastard fucks me over

where do you buy them originally?

why would someone buy those from you and not from a retail store?

Have been doing this the last 6 months or so, though I don't move 3k-4k worth a week. Maybe $500 a week lately.

I don't have a lot invested in it though, less than $5k worth of items.

I like going to garage sales. I tend to do that, pick up good selling items then move them to ebay. I don't make a ton of money as I do it mainly as a hobby.

What strategies do you all use for inventory?

>What strategies do you all use for inventory?

For inventory (and shipping purposes) I try to stick to small items, this way I can keep a shoebox full of inventory and ship it off and very little fee. It is MUCH more of a hassle trying to sell things larger than what can fit in a shoe box.

But how do you acquire inventory? Really I have done this as a hobby and am unsure where big sellers get their stuff from.

niche items, browsing daily, all the good deals will get snapped up quick

How'd you get strarted? Just selling stuff round the house, then sinking the money into new inventory?

not OP but yeah, essentially

Is the best way to do this to hit up garage sales or thrift stores, and then just to sell the stuff you find there on ebay?

Any tips? Anything I should look for specifically?

What % profit? You must be busting your ass sourcing that shit unless you have an incredible supplier.

How in the hell?

>expecting us to believe you make half a million p.a. selling old trading cards on eBay

Lol bro, check terapeak. Dozens of people making more than that with yugioh cards and shit.
