I got a feeling it went like this.. Someone bought a bunch of vintage electronics, didn’t test them, listed them on Amazon, had way too many returns, got kicked off Amazon, had a storage unit full of this junk, had to get rid of it fast before they pay another month of storage; then their friend said “Hey no problem I know this guy on UA-cam who makes bad decisions all the time, we’ll just get ahold of him, tell him it all works, he’ll drive 3 1/2 hours and buy it all, problem solved”. Then the guy was like “No way someone would drive that far and buy it all without testing anything.” And his buddy said. “ You’re wrong, you don’t know Dave, he’ll happily do it.”
So the line of the day is.."don't really know what it does.. some sort of thing to attach your iPod to some Kenwood thing". Dave, you are a technical genius LOL I just love watching you everyday keep it up. Mike from NY
Funniest thing. Immediately after the words "People are sick of being nickeled and dimed with these streaming services....." , UA-cam cut to an ad for Disney Plus. Gotta love Big Brother watching you all the time...LOL
This is not fake behavior. I was like this for at least my first 49 years. I’m 70 now and I have gotten better, but only because I can’t move as far or as fast, can no longer drive, and have to factor all this into any wild scheme I come up with. Thus, I think for longer and make better decisions. Enjoy your process and don’t have regrets is all I can advise.
The cost of shipping is including in the base cost, which makes people attracted to buying the product because it appears cheaper. "Free shipping" almost 100% of the time means they bumped the based price. I could sell you a bike for 350$ and 20$ shipping, or i can just sell you a 370$ bike with "free" shipping. Get it?
Also the discount we get vs what the buyer pays on larger items can often make the shipping charges push the total price above the market value for an item.
I've been selling since 2011 casually, I would never have more than 50-60 items listed at a time. With that being said I could make a sale maybe 2-3 times a month and I was happy with that. The past 5 years it has been a sale maybe every couple of months.
In the town I’m in California when we get scammed, we post on FB marketplace, next-door or the venue where we purchased it. If you do that I think the person will call you back and give you your money back because nobody wants to be publicly humiliated.
Get one of those old school universal remotes that works for thousands of makes and models. Because so many devices will work remotely that do not work by manually pushing the buttons on the unit. Also for those vhs units with "tracking" issues or that dont play at all, clean the heads with a head cleaner and this often solves playback problems.
Your Rollo already broke? I bought a Zebra used at a Goodwill years ago and its lasted forever even though I've knocked it off my desk twice. Still working like a champ.
You wouldn’t believe the condition I get Amazon stuff in. I got a puzzle for my granddaughter in the original box. No brown box just all out there. Then I got a plastic puzzle for my grandson and the box was so bad , in a plastic mailer, 1/4 destroyed. I didn’t even give it to him for Christmas.
Listen to Kevin on one of his last shows about Big electrical items 😢 Loving the escaped convict look with the hair cut and orange jump suit 😅 Love the content keep it up thanks
Don’t ya love when people tell you why you do something 🙄. Hope your pic turns out to work out for you! Happy New Year and Blessings to you and your sweet family!
Btw, just remember, "you win some, you lose some" in this kind of business. You did 'very well' on those comic books you got. So it all kinda balances out. Also, if you are creative on your taxes, you can recoup some money upon filing. Sorry, Dave, 🙂
I bought a JADENS Bluetooth Thermal Label Printer just over a year ago. Use ii all the time and have yet to have a problem with it. Bought off Amazon. As for the electronics the ones that don’t work, sell for parts and pieces, and recoup some money..
I have the same painter and have been working great for almost 3 years. I still can't get the Blue tooth to work either. But wired work great. This is the Vretti.
You don't need a SKU system to be on top of things. I store stuff in my home and in a storage unit, never once misplaced or lost one. Some 5k items inventory, from 10 to 3000USD items.
I used to haul scrap metal to a local recycle facility, made a ton in bulk metal scrap but also got a slipped disk from it…. So…. Not a road I recommend traveling… haha😅
Depends whats wrong with those broken ones. If nothing sell as parts or fix. I have several that need to be fixed... but will take time eventually to do it.
If its worth the time, some of those broken units might have parts worth selling. That are easy to remove. Like knobs, and feet, hinges off record players etc.
I got a Vretti doesn't have bluetooth and I had to use a different driver then the one they provided but for the $54 I paid for it totally worth it compared to $150-200 for a Rolo. I bet the bluetooth not working is a driver issue because on the install you can choose between like 50 different printers and there's no way to tell the difference between them. The diagnostic software they provide is pretty helpful if you can get it to work.
I have been able to fix vcr’s in about 5-10 minutes just by opening them up and spinning the head. Time can cause these items to kinda stick. I have a bunch I didn’t fix. Not that it works for your business, just thought I’d throw that out there if you have someone that needs something to do. Good luck.
So you’d click on it. You’re supposed to have gleaned that the guitar is a Disney Coco toy guitar and “look out” for it even thought he just showed it’s not worth flipping unless you’re paying $1 or less.
Could just list all the broken stuff on an auction at $1 and add shipping, I do this all the time and it works great to move broken inventory and make a little bit of money on top of
Depends on if it’s high end model, it’s still worth to sell for part but if working ones go for $50 or less then people won’t pay more than a couple of bucks plus shipping, after fee, it won’t worth the time packing these up.
I wish this will be a lesson for the future. Impulsive buying rarely works. Especially if they want you to drive 3,5 hours. Especially if you have to stay in the pricy hotel. You said yourself, you dont do electronics, so why even bother? Fomo can be a huge deal, but you need to learn how to ignore it. And another thing - dont trust people who tell you that yeah they tested it. Test it yourself. Better safe than sorry. And if someone is rushing you - just leave. Decisions made in a rush are often not that great and most likely they want you to buy it before you realise that there is a catch...
Hope that unit pays off for you…. I use a Jaden’s thermal printer. Have had it for about a year now. I recommend them to everyone and only good reviews.
Dave wow you must think about it and not jump at everything, wait and see you never know what can happen. Have you reached out to the seller and tell them about the non working units. 🇦🇺👍😎
BEWARE ANYONE considering selling on eBay now. eBay is charging sellers as part of its sales fee the percentage on sales tax a buyer of your item(s) paid. I just discovered this on a sale of golf irons. eBay added the Tennessee sales tax to the price I charged (I sold paying for shipping as well) 13.25% (which eBay doesn't inform you of or I wouldn't have sold these). It charged me a total of $93.58 an actual 14.51% not the 13.25% it disclosed after the sale. I am personally done with eBay. I have spent tens of thousands of 4 since it started. Not another penny from me. This is based on ethical principles. eBay has ZERO Ethical standards and too low to respond to my complaint of this covert rip off. Sell elsewhere there's plenty of options!
Sell all the broken electronics as parts or repair only, with the first words of your description saying "For Parts or Repair" and offer no returns and list them just under lowest listed price plus shipping. I do it ALL the time.
I got a feeling it went like this..

😅😅😅😅
I agree 💯 with this statement!😂
So the line of the day is.."don't really know what it does.. some sort of thing to attach your iPod to some Kenwood thing". Dave, you are a technical genius LOL I just love watching you everyday keep it up.
Mike from NY
lol are you the original owner of all that stuff and you are just letting everyone know what happened? Hahaha
I would much rather buy a crypto gift card from eBay with my credit card 😁
Funniest thing. Immediately after the words "People are sick of being nickeled and dimed with these streaming services....." , UA-cam cut to an ad for Disney Plus. Gotta love Big Brother watching you all the time...LOL

Why on earth do you offer free shipping on larger items? You must enjoy shipping to the west coast from Florida.
The cost of shipping is including in the base cost, which makes people attracted to buying the product because it appears cheaper. "Free shipping" almost 100% of the time means they bumped the based price. I could sell you a bike for 350$ and 20$ shipping, or i can just sell you a 370$ bike with "free" shipping. Get it?

Check prices for parts or repair on each of the non working items, they should all sell still. Happy New Year
I know it’s time consuming but cleaning the units can sometimes fix some issues and get those failure rates up.
Test the electronics again in a different outlet. Try pressing and holding the power button for a couple seconds.
Why didn’t you return the no good printer and get your money back.
if your new printer doesn't work out, i've had a Munbyn for at least a couple years now and i love it
Thanks for sharing hopefully it will pay off love the barber story
In the town I’m in California when we get scammed, we post on FB marketplace, next-door or the venue where we purchased it. If you do that I think the person will call you back and give you your money back because nobody wants to be publicly humiliated.
I wish you and your family a Happy New Year. I am a 73 year old grandmother, not a reseller, like my sister, but look forward to watching your videos.
Ditchit is so straightforward-shopping here is a breeze! 🌟
Nice fresh cut Dave!!
Nice hoodie Dave, it’s like I watched a video of you buying it
You CAN not mail anything large or heavy USPS. Only UPS or FEDEX- my experience being a 24 year seller
22 year seller here and we've been exclusive to USPS for 20 years. Never any issues, even with XL pkgs. Curious why not for you?
I’m not a very experienced seller but I swear a few times UPS was cheaper for heavy items when I was adding the shipping to listings.
What about selling for 'parts only'? Sometimes people want to repair their favorite receivers. 🙂
Get one of those old school universal remotes that works for thousands of makes and models. Because so many devices will work remotely that do not work by manually pushing the buttons on the unit. Also for those vhs units with "tracking" issues or that dont play at all, clean the heads with a head cleaner and this often solves playback problems.
Since I cross list almost everything, on Mercari if I make a sale, I just look up the location in the SKU field on eBay when I go to remove items.
Your Rollo already broke? I bought a Zebra used at a Goodwill years ago and its lasted forever even though I've knocked it off my desk twice. Still working like a champ.
+1 on buying a used zebra, they are bullet proof
Damn your Ring notification sound for stirring my dogs up!

Loving the escaped convict look with the hair cut and orange jump suit 😅
Love the content keep it up thanks
If I lived closer, I'd take the broken ones off your hands for a small amount of cash. A lot of times the fixes on these are simple.
Don’t ya love when people tell you why you do something 🙄. Hope your pic turns out to work out for you! Happy New Year and Blessings to you and your sweet family!
What's the coupon code for that printer???
Btw, just remember, "you win some, you lose some" in this kind of business. You did 'very well' on those comic books you got. So it all kinda balances out. Also, if you are creative on your taxes, you can recoup some money upon filing. Sorry, Dave, 🙂

Dave I hear you on the best laid plans yada yada yada😊💐 keeping my fingers crossed you find a gem in your private pick💐Happy New Year!!!🎊🎉🎆
I have the same painter and have been working great for almost 3 years. I still can't get the Blue tooth to work either. But wired work great. This is the Vretti.
I couldn't get it to work at all 😢
Good to know!

good luck with that buy dont stress it everything will workout
We have had good luck with Munbyn thermal printers
Love your hoodie! Love watching your videos too I truly enjoy them thanks for sharing your experience 😂❤😊
Good video. Hope the private pick works out. Keep up the good content!
Thanks so much
I find work electronics. Older ones sell for parts. I can sell a Bose for like 75 -100 for non working. iPods. speakers. Maybe try that
Love your channel
I have an IDPRT thermal printer. I paid about $100 for it 2 years ago & it works fine for me.
Munbyn printer on Amazon
Is any of the stuff that doesn't work worth sell as parts?
So if what you bought already has a 70% fail rate how long do you think the 30% that you're selling is going to last?
If its worth the time, some of those broken units might have parts worth selling. That are easy to remove. Like knobs, and feet, hinges off record players etc.
I got a Vretti doesn't have bluetooth and I had to use a different driver then the one they provided but for the $54 I paid for it totally worth it compared to $150-200 for a Rolo.

I still have a ton of cds I hope that DVDs and cds come back for good prices 😊💐
Even on the electronics that do work, I’m afraid you’re going to have returns from people doing the ol’ switcheroo or from being damaged in transit.
I use a vevor bluetooth thermal label printer, honestly it works so much better then the rolo printer I have
Neflaca from Amazon is what I have for printer not Bluetooth but I have had it three years works great $55-65 dollars
I spy with my little eye---a Tina 😀Happy New Years !!
i have a kcomer thermal printer (not bluetooth) i got it on ebay for 12 dollars and its a tank and runs like a champ
I have been able to fix vcr’s in about 5-10 minutes just by opening them up and spinning the head. Time can cause these items to kinda stick. I have a bunch I didn’t fix. Not that it works for your business, just thought I’d throw that out there if you have someone that needs something to do. Good luck.
We bought the cheap ones and settled with Dymo! I have made mistakes with private picks too. Dave, I like your honesty!
My Rollo 9 months 5000 labels no issue buy it
I use an MFLABEL DT426B. Nearly 2 years, very happy with it.
MFLABEL
So, what is actually selling in 2024?
I have that same hoodie. It's my favorite one.
10cc ice bucket. Cool. Great for a rock n roller.
Sell the non-working units for parts. You might be surprised!
I'd be interested in bulk buying vcrs that eat tape or turn on and shut down after a few seconds. I know how to fix that. It's my bread and butter.
I love the Grateful Dead's song Pride of Cucamonga! I didn't know it was a place lol
some broken will still sell. There is a disc changer that a local guy to me will buy them all.
Why is the title what is selling in 2024?
So you’d click on it.
You’re supposed to have gleaned that the guitar is a Disney Coco toy guitar and “look out” for it even thought he just showed it’s not worth flipping unless you’re paying $1 or less.
got yourself a ‘paul’ hair do 😎
I have been using besteasy label printer for over a year with no problem eBay new under $50 these are wired
You can sell electronics for parts. People buy to fix and flip.
Dave I use a Jaden's thermal Bluetooth printer so far it's been great
Can you get a part refund from the seller, for all the ones that aren't working?
cool, thx for sharing
Comer printer works good for me wired!!
Could just list all the broken stuff on an auction at $1 and add shipping, I do this all the time and it works great to move broken inventory and make a little bit of money on top of

Dave had someone rent a stocking. Bought, delivered 11/28 started a return on 12/26….lol
Oh jeez

A used $100 Zebra will outlast a new Rollo. Best printers in the industry. They are what you see on the counter at UPS.
I worked at UPS as Tech Support for shippers and almost all of them ran the Zebra as it is what UPS sent out to them.
Make January your electronics month. Test your picks and ask in your storage container and be done.
Hope that unit pays off for you….
I use a Jaden’s thermal printer. Have had it for about a year now. I recommend them to everyone and only good reviews.
He's lucky he lives 3 and a half hours away. Dave would have pooped on his porch. Lol
Too bad eBay scammed me. For such a large corporation their customer service is invisible.
Dave. Buy a Jadens label printer. Mine is going strong after 1 year!
Never do free shipping. If they want to send it back, just cause, you’ll take shipping cost twice..
Dave wow you must think about it and not jump at everything, wait and see you never know what can happen.
Have you reached out to the seller and tell them about the non working units. 🇦🇺👍😎
re: purchase --- Can you talk to the seller? I mean, that's just not right! :(
Sell for parts or get them fixed
Sorry that you made a bad buy. Hopefully, you will find something great to make up for it.
Jadens printer ❤
eBay sales are down 64% the first quarter of 2024.
Some say Polono printer is good.
Sell as parts. 😊

You didnt realise whe she sent you the adress just by reafing it 😂
Hey Oh!!
Nothing. Nothing is selling. eBay is dead. 🙄🗑️
I’m selling 10 to 15 items per day. And that much on Amazon as well. eBay is alive and well.
