    First time watching you. So glad to have found this. I've been reselling, part time since the late '90's. Now retired I was trying to find something different, other than the "so many items a day." I already know that selling higher priced items, gave me a great return for the number of items that I have listed. This dollar amount makes so much more sense! Great test that you did and really substantial outcome information that you gave. Thank you! I'll be shooting for a lower amount, being only one person. However.....I'm starting today! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! ( I've subscribed and will be a faithful viewer!) 🤑😊❤

    Oh my goodness. I just found you two. I clicked on you because of the title and now I’m hooked. Your content and format is enjoyable. I love the way you go back and forth with all the info you put out. (You mix the meat and potatoes with sales, past events, and future highlights) And your banter back and forth is great. Keep up the great work.

    It's good to have a goal, it's great to have an action plan to meet your goal! A goal without a plan is just a dream. Congrats on developing an action plan to make it a reality. I've been listing daily, every single day, no exceptions, to drive my goal to double my sales (and reduce my death pile). Historically, I binged listing, I might do 10 in one day, then nothing for a week. My "theory" is ebay rewards consistency and I was not consistent. So far, so good. I had my first $1,000 day two weeks ago. $500 goes out this morning. I do the same as you, I load up on drafts so I don't miss a day. So I don't "create" a listing or more every day. To me, this is just a hobby. My last highway sale was VERY disappointing! Turned out, it was not individuals having garage sales. Instead, people rented out their lawns, marked out booth space, and it was 200 miles of overpriced flea marketeers. I much prefer where it is people who just want to get rid of stuff (at a low price).

  • @frontporchfun
    @frontporchfun Місяць тому +3

    Would love to know how many "items per day" listed average this experiment ended up showing as a comparison to what everyone on UA-cam talks about. Interesting to think about it as a $$ amt vs item amt. Very smart!

  • @jabusspires6506
    @jabusspires6506 Місяць тому +4

    You're both at least partially correct about the Spoons.
    In the Industry, "Tablespoons" are usually Serving Spoons. They come in Solid and Pierced versions. "Soup Spoons" are also known as "Place Spoons", and typically come as part of a 5-pc Place setting-- Dinner Fork, Salad Fork, Dinner Knife, Soup Spoon, Teaspoon.
    The "Round Spoon" often seen in Restaurants is actually known as a "Bouillon Spoon" sometimes as a "Cream Soup Spoon". I personally like these for soups of all types .
    Hope this is helpful. The nomenclature issue can be a sticky problem. You need to sell like the market does, but you also need to match customer expectations.... so that you can clearly communicate to everyone without confusion. Great Video,m Guys!

    I'd like to know how often you accepted offers since items sold this way would reduce your total listed to less than $500. Whatever your margin for offers is you could add to your total daily listed amount.

  • @breezeflippers
    @breezeflippers Місяць тому +2

    Listing by dollar amount is a good goal. I changed to that goal about 5 months ago. Since I am part time, I only have so much time, so I set the goal to be $100 a day every day. So far, it’s been working fairly well. We sell about $500-700 a week, some better some less than others, but I think having the goal made the difference. I also have about 20-30 days worth of drafts ahead of time which helps on keeping to the goal. Great advice and as always a great video. Thanks!

    • @SalvagedSoul1111
      @SalvagedSoul1111 Місяць тому +1

      Hi, great info as far as what I'll be shooting for. ( $100 - $150 a day is doable as a part timer also.) I'm excited to start this instead of listing a specific number of items everyday. That didn't work for me. Since I try to sell higher end items this is a lot less to list on a daily basis. I can do this!

    All my life (long time) I have heard the largest of the spoons in a set are Tablespoons. Serving spoon (slotted or solid) were just serving spoons and were extra spoons in a set. Smaller spoons with the longer handles are teaspoons. The smaller spoons with shorter handles to me are soup spoons or dessert spoons. Love your channel.

  • @thevelvethog
    @thevelvethog Місяць тому +3

    Grams is correct it’s a place/oval soup spoon that’s part of a five piece place setting. Yes there are round soup spoons as well there’s also dessert spoons, five ‘o clock spoons and demitasse spoons depending on the pattern. A tablespoon is a serving spoon meant for the table and can be solid or pierced oh and sugar spoons, iced tea spoons and casserole spoons….

    • @Doing_It_Wrong
      @Doing_It_Wrong Місяць тому +1

      Backing up what is being said here. This is the most correct answer. Really though, the most simple solution is to just go off what Replacements is calling it. Even if it's not really a "soup spoon" or whatever the real function is, everyone uses the replacements database to identify their flatware. You get better SEO that way.
      ...and wait until Cory hears about desert forks. It may break him.

    Just say'in but I've always used my round "soup" spoons just for consuming soup or stews. I've used my "table" spoons for eating cereal and desserts. I've also used my tablespoons as serving ware. Of course, you could always use your tablespoons to consume stews as well. I have some large soup spoons that are the size of a tablespoon in length. A little larger than your traditional size soup spoon. And they seem to be a favorite when I serve stew, or a hearty soup to my husband. Teaspoons are the perfect size for adding sugar to tea or coffee and they are also the perfect size for stirring your hot beverages.

    Yes teaspoons are the smaller ones and tablespoons are the larger ones. We use the teaspoons to eat with and tablespoons to serve somethings but usually use larger specific serving spoons. The tablespoons are too big for me most everyone so would need a very large mouth to use those. I would consider soup spoons to be round too.

  • @thevelvethog
    @thevelvethog Місяць тому +1

    Question: at what sales price do you lose money? By that I mean for the amount of time it takes to source, research, list and pack an item what’s your break even. If you sell something for $4.99 what do you clear $3? Listing takes a couple of minutes, packing a few more, putting your item away a few more, retrieving the item a few more so if it takes 1/2 an hour to make $3 what’s the point when that half hour could have been used differently making more than $3.

    • @Grams_Pops_Vintage-Grams
      @Grams_Pops_Vintage-Grams Місяць тому

      The lower dollar items are stuff that we are typically knowledgeable on and takes us little time to list pick and pack. We have changed our listing habits lately and are not listing a lot of lower dollar items.

    $440 a day sounds like you hit the exact goal amount. Because when you're listing $500 a day you're not accounting for when you accept offers and returns. Because when you accept a offer you technically now didnt list $500 that day.
