I do all my listing on my Samsung smart phone. It's a Galaxy S20. I put the ad down on an inch-ruled cutting mat and snap the first picture (the ratio is already perfect on full Page ads - other sizes might need a quick crop). The next picture is panned out slightly so that the ruled mat shows enough so that shoppers can see the actual size. That saves me from having to continously check and change size info in the detailed description. Then I might take a couple more if I want to highlight some detail or point out to shoppers a condition issue. Great question! Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I found this! Lately I’ve been cutting up my old magazines (that are already in poor shape). I sell vintage tins & home decor items and if I can find the ad of the item I’m selling I send it as a thank you gift. I spend hours going through old magazines just for the novelty of seeing how things used to be.
Great video. I am also surprised the paint ads do well. I wonder if it has to do with lead paints. I am retired from the legal industry, and on occasion lawyers may do research for product liability cases.
Oh, wow. That's some really cool insight. I hadn't thought of it before - at least not as it pertains to paint. But it makes sense seeing as how criminality and liability hinge on failure to disclose what's known about product safety. Thanks for the comment! And thanks for watching!
Great video. How do you photo the ads and what camera or scanner do you use? Thanks

@@TcTess What a thoughtful way to put them to use. That's really neat! Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks! I always buy old magazines when I find them.

@_JKAdagio I don't know if you've seen this yet. This addresses the question you asked in comments on an earlier video.
