    How do you set prices if you can’t find any comps? I have learned a lot from you. I’ve been reselling for about 8 months. I am an 81 year old widow.

    Hi. I am curious how you began reselling. Did you post on places like Letgo or Facebook Market that dont cost anything? How did you do? And approximately how many lustings would be reasonable to generate money? I hope that makes sense...thanks for sharing. 😉👍❤

    • @TheNurseFlipper
      @TheNurseFlipper  4 місяці тому

      I've been selling on ebay off and on since 1999. The amount of listings depends on types of items, their price and how fast they sell (sell thru rate) some people make 6 figures a year with only 100 items listed. I however have over 7000 because in my area I find mostly lower value items

    I have a couple of questions for you.
    I'm an etsy sellar and i'm wondering why you stopped selling there? It's so slow on etsy. I'm doing both vintage and handmade there.
    I'm thinking about moving my non-vintage jewelry to mercari, since I can't list it on etsy.
    I also have probably 10 mugs that i've thrifted. And I have plush. Some is vintage, some is not.
    Do you think mercari would be better for those non vintage items?
    Thank you for sharing this video. I have ebay and mercari but no listings yet.

      Oh stuff is selling, I've sold $2000 in the last 3 days. So make sure you're checking sell thru rate of items you're listing you want to see at least 50% so if 100 are listed 50 should be sold in order for it to sell in about 6 months. If it's less than that it's going to take longer. Also check your shipping rates titles pictures etc

      That is including your shipping cost which is typically pretty high if you sell low or mid range items. Poshmark doesn't include shipping into this. You should look at your fees separately and unless you're promoting at 15% they shouldn't n be that high
