    Great packing 😉 I do not go that deep in packing but then it’s glass I only have a little of it. Most people me included see you get an item for a quarter and ask 25$ I’m a reseller too but it would heave to be a must have. So I agree most UA-cam sellers don’t get rich from sells but
    the views don’t hurt the bank account.

    • @AvanteAvenue
      @AvanteAvenue  Рік тому

      Thank you Jeff! We started buying glassware because it was the one thing that many other resellers didn't want to mess with. Thus, why I had to tackle the packing! They say we make our money when we buy it. Yes, partly true. I say we make our money after we do our due research and BEFORE we buy it. Our channel is slowly growing. It's been hard. Nearly four years.....Thanks!

    Happy Anniversary Vickie and Mark!
    Thank You for the video.
    I have been following the seller you featured today for three years. I purchased a pair of boots from her.
    She has taught me a lot of brands to look for.
    If I had to scale up I would do exactly what she did, rent a warehouse. Having that many items would overrun every room in my house which is the reason she moved to a warehouse. Imagine having that much space!
    She is one of the hardest working resellers I watch.
    She has a very nice personality.
    Per one of her videos, she had worked in the service industry prior for quite some years. I did as well. I would not trade that experience because I learned how to interact with our guests in a positive way even when they were being difficult.

    • @AvanteAvenue

      You are so welcome! She's taught me a lot about brands too! I don't catch every video but I've watched many. It does take a lot of space when you gear up. We are lucky to have a huge basement. I'd just have to give up some personal stuff to make more room. I too have worked in the service industry. I should say we have. Service to me is working with the public and providing professional service for products and services. Thanks!

    Absolutely love that you have shared this information. I've been on and off Ebay for over 40 years and never did an offer in my listings. Will definitely do now on some old items I have listed. I viewed the Boy Scout badge video and wanted to confirm - did you live in Wadsworth? That is where I live and have just opened a store for the first time (The Waverly Ave. Emporium) and will definitely use many of your awesome tips! Thanks so much!

    • @AvanteAvenue
      @AvanteAvenue  Рік тому

      Thank you Kris! The "offer" feature is one of the best things ebay has added. With that said, they permit it for anyone who "shows interest" in the item. That could be another reseller searching info for the one their listing or someone who just pauses over the item for a second. We never know. But, I'm glad for the feature. No, we lived in Canton, OH....not too far away from Wadsworth. Thanks!

    I always used to have "Or Best Offer" on all of my items. But maybe because I am a relatively new seller I was plagued by a ton of VERY low ball offers. I decided to try a tactic used by a reseller I follow on You Tube. I switched off that Best Offer for newly listed items for the first month or so. I have discovered that I have been selling more items for full asking price and quickly using this tactic. GREAT video again, thanks.

    • @littleluluscraps

    happy to see an uptick for you. Curious... why do you think the 35% off sales are working for you when the 50% off didn't? Are you running them over a similar time period? Did you raise prices first before the putting the 50% or 35% sale in place? you're gathering some good information for these videos! Of course as you mentioned there's still some behind the scenes strategies that we can't see - but I'm enjoying this content! Thank you :)

    • @AvanteAvenue
      @AvanteAvenue  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! I believe the 50% off didn't work because the majority of my items couldn't meet the "perceived value" which is important when raising prices. I lowered them back to a more moderate price, added back the best offer and started the 35% off sales. Overall, I'm willing to take "less" to make the sale. Hope that helps and glad you're enjoying my analysis. Thanks!

  • @patyeaman
    @patyeaman Рік тому +2

    PS I also remove "Best Offer" from items with a really big (35%) markdown. I'll put it back on (along with sale price) for items that sit so long I'm sick of looking at them or that are large and are taking up more real estate than they deserve. I don't have very many items so I am willing to play a little more with this. Experimenting with pricing is a good idea I got from you in these Reselling Strategy videos. Thanks!

    • @AvanteAvenue
      @AvanteAvenue  Рік тому +1

    Hi Vickie, I just have to tell you that I'm in full agreement about "move it, move it, move it". I feel that not only is it good to move out the inventory, but I'm convinced that 'sales breed more sales'. So, when I'm accepting an offer that's a bit disappointing, I just remind myself of that. I heard this from another seller quite awhile back, & I'm a true believer! Questions about your 35% sale - did you put your entire store on sale? And did you raise your original prices before starting the sale, or do 35% off your original price? Thank you! Janett

    • @AvanteAvenue
      @AvanteAvenue  Рік тому

      I agree. More sales bring more sales. Although we did have an awfully slow week.... As to the 35% off, no I did not put the entire store on sale. I did put about 5 store categories on sale. My prices are currently quite moderate. I had raised them when I tried the 40 to 50% off sales but lowered them again, added back the make offer and set the 35% off. I'm willing to take less these days to "move it!" Thanks Janett!

      I understand your request Pat but no, I will not be sharing who the resellers are. Doing this, the way that I am is the balance between sharing the reselling techniques used by some of the top resellers, while at the same time not in any way, trying to make videos that could be considered spamming, or as I’ve said, in the video riding off their coattails. Which would not be acceptable. This is not about who they are, but their reselling techniques. And, what I can gleam by looking at their stores and stats, which is public information.

      A few weeks ago I tried 40 and 50% off and I had raised my prices. I didn't do well. So, I lowered my prices back down to "reasonable" before the 35% off sale. So, I'd say my prices are moderate. Hope this helps and thank you!

      Honestly, ebay says that potential buyers could be flagged for an offer if they simply "show an interest" in the item. What does that mean? They looked at for a second? Accidentally, paused on it while researching something else? Who knows. But, it's not just about adding a heart to it or saving it. Yes, they do generate sales but no, we do not have any control over it. I hear you. Thanks Pame!

      Our store level is premium. That includes up to 10,000 listings for our monthly store fee. We are at 2600+ listings so far. We do not pay per item listed in our store. There are the normal fees when an item sells. And because we have an annual subscription currently are store fee is $59.95 a month. You might want to investigate the various store levels. Thank you.
