Thanks so much for watching!
Hahaha.... 90% Sleep Recovery ... Nek Minut ... Courtney yawning on the job! Love it😂😂
We workin hard!
Loving these longer videos! Full of info, great watch 😊✨
Thanks so much for watching Maddie!
I agree with you 100% on the customers that want to pay for an order like a week later… I send payment reminders as soon as I see it in the “waiting payment” section. If I don’t hear from them I’ll relist the item/s. Then I send them another message 12hrs later saying your order will be cancelled if I don’t hear from you. No response = cancelled order & the item was already re-listed to catch more views. So they usually have 24-48hrs before I cancel their order.
I have instant payment activated... but that doesn't apply to items where you send offers out to.
As soon as they accept the offer, it should take the money from them (unless they want to purchase more items from you).
Very annoying when someone 'buys' an item, but never pays. Block list for them.
@@Johndeplume. How do you activate instant payments when they accept the offer? 🤔 I have immediate payment option activated in my payment policy.. but they never pay straight away when accepting offers... is there another setting I need to change?
@@MaddieAshleigh: Yeah, that's what I've highlighted above. I'm in the same boat as you... instant payment activated, but if send out offer, it's removed.
I firstly send them a polite message to pay up if no payment made by following day, then my message/s after that become a bit more blunt (reminding them that they have made a commitment to buy the item). Of course, this won't force them to pay up if they've been playing silly beggars, and Ebay won't ban them.
I can't remember where it is in the settings, but you can restrict people with negative feedback from buying from you, and you can also block users from buying from you (i.e. people who have caused you issues in the past). Further to that, you can also reduce the time that Ebay sends out a reminder to pay on your behalf, and for Ebay to chase them up.
Hope this helps, and hope you and your family have a great Christmas! 🎄🙏
Good pick up on the stanley for sure. Nice piece!
Be cool to see you thrifting in different states of Aus, what you can find in the different areas and how the prices differ as a comparison. Cheers
Wow! You are really generous to share your info with everyone. Thanks.
Thank you so much for watching! It truely means a lot to me :)
Great vid brother!! Appreciate all the free info!
Preciate you my friend!
Ambrella Fine Foods when I go thrifting on the gold coast! 🤩 absolutely divine! 😊
I hear you!!!! This is my fav
Speaking of Cars keep your eyes out for the VHS version.
...also sealed vhs of The Goonies. $125,,000 in the US.
@@jasina99 I’ve been buying any VHS that I’ve never seen or heard of before, and they’ve been selling pretty well. Same with other types of media. I sold a sealed cassette as soon as I listed it.
Payments for accepted offers are a pain in the a**. I send them a msg (not the reminder, a pm) after a couple of hours and ask if they still want the item and if they do when I can expect payment. If I haven't heard from them by the next morning I cancel the order as buyer asked to cancel and relist it. Like you said, it's a store not a lay-by centre, if they can't pay for the item now then they can find it somewhere else or come back when they have the money. The only time I make an exception is if it's a repeat customer and they contact me before accepting or making the offer.
I think you're 100% going about it the right way!
Take Cars to a Game Store and get it resurfaced, surely you would pay up to $10 for a game that sells for 40-50
I used to do that 20yrs ago when I was selling DVD’s 📀
I'll say it. Camera work on point in this video. :)
Smart man
I'd buy them on ebay... ;)
International shipping on eBay has gotten way better over the years
The book "power if now" is not bad. I think you will like it Courtney.
Good to know, thanks!
Xbox game Cars... Exact reason you need a ecopro2 buffing machine Matt
7:40 there's some Footjoy golf shoes in the back right, they have the FJ logo. It's a high end brand, usually worth decent money and are always worth looking at.
Great spot! A very good brand
I changed my policy so requires immediate payment. But still have to wait when you accept a buyers offer.
The most frustrating part of accepting an offer!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 from your mate in New Zealand
Merry Christmas mate!
Great vid Matt. Maybe a question for a future Q&A video.... if WhatNot eventually comes to Australia, how do you think your business model will need to change to meet a different audience? Lower price of goods (like Hairy Tornado) ? Might need a bigger garage!
I spoke about this one in a recent video actually!
I need to do that also to clear out some old stock.
I dare you to do it this weekend!
The power of now is a good book
Hi .Matt, had to laugh at the ongoing Prisoner joke. I picked it up a few days ago. Paid an arm and a leg but already got an offer of a couple of hundred over my purchase price. I listed it high as I want to play the market for awhile with it.
Had a good year. Sold 2 sets of The Sullivans and 2 sets of Heartbeat this year. Selling Prisoner would put the icing on the cake (Xmas cake of course!)
Keep up the videos. You are my inspiration to keep going!
Where do you find the rare DVD sets if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve spent hours upon hours at thrift stores and auctions and am yet to find any sets that break more than $100
Keep digging
I am not sure if this is the same down by you but whenever we resend an invoice, it extends the handling time to 4 days again. Or are you just messaging the buyer?
Just messaging
I'd keep that 'esky' if I were you. Made in the USA, and looks decent.
Loving the longer videos. Keep up the great work! 👍
Very cool item John! Not often seen in thrift stores!
Thanks!
Thanks so much Karen! I hope you're looking forward to an enjoyable christmas period with friends and fam!! :)
Courtney Eckhart Tolle did a good podcast episodes with Lewis Howes i listened to a couple of days ago. My cull is happening January, refuse to go over 2000 items plus have new shelving & sku system to implement.
Had an offer last night for $160 + post to europe on a $200 michael Schumacher nwt cap that i got at salvos for $4 but so far no payment. So annoying! Just hoping he comes through with payment. A bolo to end the week! I like sushi & iced coffee as my treat. 😎
I clear stock on marketplace and at local markets, garage sales are a waste of time as a seller these days [around here anyway]
Same where I am!!!
Great vid Matt. Still cant figure why you dont charge post 😮❤
If he gets a multi purchase order, he gets to pocket the extra postage. If he gets an international order, he charges postage and gets to pocket what would have been the domestic postage.
Dude knows what he's doing.
There are sooooo many benefits to the free postage model. I stress it a lot. Free postage doesn't actually mean free postage. It's just bundled into the buy it now price.
I think 1500 really good items can get you to 150, K. Seems the flea market is a better start than the OP shop these days.. good luck Matt & Courtney!
Thanks so much Karen! Alot of work ahead of us!
Hey man you can take scratched games to used game stores and have them resurfaced for like $5 (USD) at most. Not sure if they do that is AUS but I wouldn't pass on a game just cuz it's scratched to hell. A little tip from me to yall.
Thanks again for the insight, what's your eBay store mate?
House of Mamba
Ha ha ha - leaving out that scratched up DVD in the front for someone else to find and think they got a good deal!! Made me laugh. My favorite food after shopping is CHICK FIL A ! They’re awesome!
I loved Chick Fil A when i was in the states a few months ago! Josh and Hayley took me there!
last year had 30 k used dvds love your thoughts about getting a lower stock on hand amount and focus on selling items. It does get addictive buying bargains. But we also have to focus on making turnover. I just moved to a smaller wherehouse so need to be smarter this year and kull the crap like you.
Great video once again
How much of a drop do you expect when Xmas gets closer - like a rough percentage? Just wondering for my own Ebay account
Unsure but I'm projecting $10k after last months $14k so that could be looked at as a %
Quick question do you promote your listings on ebay
Yeah mate TACO BELL is my favourite the closest to me is YORK so only 20-30 mins drive but definitely worth every mile 👍
OOOOOoooo a taco bell fan too! Nice one!!
$20 for Santa Cruz...too cheap ;P Skate wear is very sought after. =) nice work as always.
Thank you!!
Thrift trip feed for us is hungry jacks, the jacks fried chicken range is our go to
That’s strong! I love that
I've got a question or idea for you to talk about. What are your thoughts on multiple titles (ie different $15 DVDs) in one listing vs desperate listings?
Do you mean separate listings?
@@PickingVegasandBeyond I think that they're called multi-quantity listings 😬.
I was just wondering if people have tried both, listing same priced items (ie different $15 DVDs) separately vs putting them in a multi-quantity listing where you select the different title from the drop down option.
I guess I'm just curious if people have found one way is better that the other, pros and cons etc.
I hope my ramblings makes some kind of sense 😂
@@torstenpfeil1878 I think pretty much everyone who sells online has done multi quantity listings at some point, but doing a listing where you have a bunch of random items in a single listing would probably be confusing for buyers. The only way I do multi quantity listings is when I have multiple of the exact same item because buyers will message you, and I’d rather not get angry messages from people who don’t know why I have a listing with random items as multi quantity.
I usuallyyyyy do multi-quantity :)
Ha ha ha getting lonley without Courtney around ona Friday 🤣🤣 looks like it's time yo get a 🐕 mate.. 🤣🤣👍🇦🇺🦘
24:17 No, it's not OK to pay me later
31:30 Yep, next Thursday - no worries
😆
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
The cars game you’ve found I’ve bought for myself not to long ago and now there’s one listed for $205 😂
Watching now 🎉
Hey matt. How do you go about putting 2 dvds into a large letter?
Side by side
@@TheAussieFlipper yeah sweet thanks
Hi Matt how's the weather up there its going to be a hot one down here today 🥵🥵🥵 take care 👍👍
superrrr hot on the GC today! I'm on a boat for the day too :)
@@TheAussieFlipper awe how nice enjoy yourself 👋👋
One video you say youll just niche to DVDs then the next youre hunting shoes and m&m containers? Genuinely curious to the thinking.
I only have access to what's in front of me. If you want to find DVDs chances are you won't find it sitting in an op shop in abundance. if I can have 80% of my inventory in media and 20% high quality items that sell through fast I'll be happy. the thrift stores find me the 20% the private picks find me the 80%.
Great footage of the hunt for better finds. I wouldn’t have bought the Balenciaga shoes, too risky plus I don’t know enough about high end shoes. I’d love a disc cleaner but they are far too expensive, so I’m cleaning by hand. I think your idea of the markets and private picks may lead you to higher quality stock and on to your goal for 2024. Good luck.
What's your eBay store? would love to browse your hats
House of Mamba! See anything you like, message me on insta for a cheaper price!
Definitely should have nabbed CARS matty, worth repairing or even just keeping as is
next time
with those Runners near the beginning.....it could be a fake price sticker also to confuse people.....never know
Trying to pick better items as well 🙂
Lets goo
Hi Matt can you please link your eBay store. 😊
House of Mamba!
Have you thought of making a investment in a cd/dvd buffer machine that repairs scratched discs? You wouldn't have to pass up so many good titles based on condition? You'd justify the cost in sales alone
I can’t justify the whack on my cash flow at the moment but down the line for sure
Cars race o rama i sold for 50 bucks once. It didnt have scratches.
Have you thought of doing a garage sale with everything at $1 or $2 each?
He’s done that previously!!!
Yep I have done a flea and a garage sale for $1 before! May look to do it again!
The crazy thing is that you can get way more than I can for most DVDs because Americans don’t seem to value stuff like that. Most of my media goes overseas.
Weird, half the stuff I send to USA is dvds
@@emusaurus probably because you find DVDs in other countries that we can’t find here. Other media does okay, but for me DVDs almost always end up going overseas. The majority of my clothing, shoes etc also goes overseas.
I'd just bin the dvds that don't sell. Then you won't have to sift through them on your next visit to the thrift.
I'd also consider lotting up the games rather than donate. I did this with some ps3 games I had sitting there forever and they sold in a week.
Best of luck with the market stall.
Thanks so much!
No Taco Bell down this way... Guzman and Gomez, tho.
Oooo yess Guz is good!
Matt, you’ve changed your terminology from “I” to “we”. Is there a ‘partnership’ now?
She’s pretty cool
i got a an authentic kobe Bryant #8 jersey under 50php Phillipine Pesos ..issue is crack print
woweeee
@@TheAussieFlipper they say it's authentic but not vintage jersey
you have stated you want to up your selling price and are culling the cheaper-priced items, so you may need to rethink the place you try to get goods . you may also have to think outside the box for what you are buying if you want better-priced merchandise.
all being taken into consideration!
g day
g'day mate how r ya
Taco Bell failed in Cairns .. same with Nandos.
Nandos too.. damn!
20 minutes in while I work - looking at my eBay store, consider sending a payment reminder message to someone who purchased yesterday, decide not to... 24:50 in - *picks up phone and sends it* :D
Thanks Mate, appreciate little nuggets like that
I got you!!!
So is she your gal?❤
Nope :) we're very good friends and I'm very lucky to be able to also have her work with me
3 hour payment reminder messages feels really wanky. to me honestly, if they're telling you when they plan to pay for it, i see no issues. building the relationship with a buyer, and be lenient, and they're more likely to come back
This is actually what they aren’t doing though??? If they tell me I have no need to send a reminder do I?
I would have risked it for $50.00 dollars.
I love Taco Bell!!
I miss Taco Bell from the USA. Quick and dirty.
I hear you!
The Power of Now? 🤔 Maybe later on. Yawn! 😀
There's really good Balenciaga fakes out there. Mine looked legit but ebays authenticator didn't pass them. Refunded buyer immediately but ebay suspended me for a week.
Damn! Kinda glad I passed!
++ You areCull 100% on the correct trajectory. Cull the store and update older listings. To few do this and end up buying more storage for dead stock. It's neat to have Courtney to work with as a counter foil to one's natural tendency to buy bargains. I like the way you're using metrics to measure progress. Awesome
I'm realising just how crucial of a step this is!
