Soooooo many people have left eBay. Myself, I’m super selective with what I list on eBay and I started on eBay almost 20 years ago. They do not support or protect their sellers
what selling platform do you recommend?
One time a guy on eBay wanted a refund on an item that he bought from me because it was broken. The crazy part I sold the item for parts or broken only and eBay made me refund the money. After I provided proof in my post that the item did not work lol
I had a guy tell me it arrived damaged, when I got it back, he had never even opened the box@@curtisrobinson1230
I so appreciate your non-pretentious style and honesty
. I've learned a lot from you
The one dollar mechanical pencil is like the one my Grandmother gave me. It was attached to her dance card. Dance cards were used to sign the names of beaus who wished to dance with her at a social.
That tiger carving has a hole that goes all the way through - could be a netsuke button - incense holders don't usually have the hole all the way through them. I would research that further. and I do believe it's a tiger; it has stripes
Those keys look like what they call "French gate keys" and some could indeed have been for jail gates. Only the solid (non-open end) ones are "skeleton keys". The open end ones are "barrel keys". They may have been for a garden gate or a portcullis. The top part is called the "bow" and the more interesting the bow, often the more desirable the key is to collectors. Some of those small ones are to furniture or sewing machine covers.
Thanks for the info
Smalls help make my booth rent for me. I even sell jars of stuff. I save any kind of jars and fill them up. Tie a bow and add a cute tag. They sell! I also do mystery boxes.
I thought so, I've been working on jars of buttons and dice, because I figured they'd sell
Jewelry jars sell really well at my booth. Small items sell really well. Anything under $15.
Hi Rusty, the tool at 41:25 is a vintage scribe. It's used to mark a line on wood or metal. 🙃
I LOVE your opening scene!
That was all Peaches
Thanks for your Video Rusty. I'm sorry for what happened to you on Ebay with your sale! It really doesn't matter what proof you as a Seller has to show that the buyer was in the wrong, scamming you big time, Ebay sides with these horrible people!
Oh, I love keys! The square tip ones go into fancy old clocks or music boxes! That was my favourite thing to turn as a kid whenever I visited my relatives.
I have a small key collection I've hoarded throughout my life. For example, my apartment switched to a door code entry, the lock no longer exists, so I kept the key for my collection.
Thank you for another good video. Have a great weekend.
Thank you Rusty for taking the time to educate us about reselling and what people want!
I really love your content. I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for supporting us out here. We appreciate you.!
Sorry eBay didn’t back you, things are going to change real soon, God is on the move🥰have faith in God🥰
Glowing marbles...learn something everytime I watch your video.❤ I did not know they made marbles with uranium
I like your floor drop papers. That was a cute move.
Thanks, Rusty. Awesome content! In the past I have been a anything seller. But recently switched to smalls, specializing in jewelry. Looking forward to your next video!
The watch necklace you had in your video is made by Ernest Borel. The vintage watches can sell for hundreds of dollars. It should say cocktail in cursive with Ernest Borel on the flip side.
Rusty, this is the first time I have watched one of your videos and have enjoyed it very much. I have subscribed,thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next one.😊 love the movement on the pocket watch/necklace😀
Love your videos and the idea of buying smalls and selling them!
Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed upcoming weekend!
Glad you're back! Enjoy your videos so much!
Your videos are always so informative! My daughter and I went into a thrift store while on vacation last week and picked up some smalls. My favorite is a metal etched fruit design corkscrew. We can’t wait to get them listed!
Rusty as always -this is a great informative video!
Really sorry about ebay not backing you (so infuriating that customers can be greedy abusers). I've heard other ebay horror stories. Sadly, they seem to be a necessary evil.
We cherish genuine sellers as yourself who still know how to teach ''the right way to do things''--incredibly important. Thanks for sharing your 'pickin passion!'
Sooo informative!!! I'm just getting started n you have helped me greatly. I was wondering about the decanter/perfume bottle lid values and how to list those, but you didn't get to them. I guess just knowing not to just get rid of things because you wouldn't buy it yourself is a huge lesson for the day!!! Thanks again for sharing!!!
Intro is gold
I love keys, have tons of old gm and Ford key blanks that sell great.
Hey Rusty you’re being a wonderful teacher, patient, in depth, excellent help! I’m interested in focusing on small items as well I just hope there aren’t too many people doing this niche. Oh, I have an old German perfume bottle too! Thanks so much for all your help my cousin.❤
Hi Rusty… great video, lots of great info and inspiration… do you clean up things before selling like those rusty keys or just keep them as is? You gave me some great ideas to sell some things I already have on hand. Thanks so much!
We have about 4 of those screw driver skinny things throughout the house and we use them all the time! I honestly can’t even recall what the advertisement on them is.
I admire your courage! Keep up the good work!😊
Thanks for the valuable info, as always.
Sooo funny!! Please have a TV show and just make that million dollars. 😂🤣😂😂🤣
Hey cousin 👋 glad your back😊
great video, thanks for sharing your haul
I love the optical illusion device
I am sorry to hear your e-bay dilemma, sickening, I had a horrible experience several years ago as a buyer. 😢
Yes lifetime sharpening
Love that pocket watch!! Wow!!
Hello Cuz....from Kentucky!
The "chisels" in the wood box are actually leather working tools for edge trimming and/or thinning sections. The mandrel you had is actually for metal forming ... where one needs to create a curve item that needs a tube like curve... too large for ring sizing. The wooden tool looking like a block with a sqaure beam through it is used to mark straight lines for sawing wood ... perhaps one needs to cut a 3 1/6" wide strip of oak... probably and antique with brass inserts.
My first time seeing you & great information on smalls. Thank you & now off to source some of those exact items ❤️🇨🇦
Welcome!!
I hope you do video on those fossils. You know so much about so many different things
Soak that rusty key overnight in pure lemon juice then spray with WD
Rusty! Hey Cousin, you crack me up love the intro! This is the way! Where the heck you from, you make me wanna visit ! Love the content brother
I’m a 23 years seller too.
Sooo many scammers in jewelry too, Rusty!
Ebay forces all returns. 😏 I went through exactly same, affidavit and all.
Sometimes all we can do is rest in knowing that the scammers will have to live with themselves.
So sorry about all of that for you.
Keep on keeping on my fiend.
I sold one of those Rolex collector spoons a while back. Don't remember what i got for it but it was a pretty quick and easy sale.
I think you should examine the painted snuff bottle better. It's probably painted on the INSIDE. Most of them that look like that are painted on the inside. 😸👵
Thank you, rusty. I'm just considering this. Not too organized...😂😅 but ... i know that's a big negative here. So, I'm just doing diligence
Hey Cousin, your shameless promotion of links is HILARIOUS! I'm a newby subscriber and love your knowledge and style of video. Damn, Ebay really bites the hand that feeds them 😞
You're awesome!
I found a broken plastic case with around ten raw stones with matching tumbled stones and it sold for $15 really quickly. None of the rocks were rare gems, we're talking sodalite and quartz, stuff like that, but people love minerals! Best part was I didn't pay anything for the rocks, just threw them up on ebay.
hey Rusty.....by chance did u grow up being dragged to sales by your parents or grandparents as a kid? 🏵
I have subscribed to your lovely channel
With love from SAM
Guwahati, Assam, India 🇮🇳 ♥️
😊So do u start ur items out at auction stly list an what price
You two are the Dorchester babes ever...with deep respect I am watching and want to learn! Thanks you goobers from one too🙄
Do you list everything in your store or do you have helpers?
Hey Cousin, I think that green glass might be some sort of porron, but I'm not sure.
Rusty, can you do a video on how you photograph items? I can't stop watching your videos cousin. You are my reseller role model.
yes, we can add that soon.
That happened to me with a scuba bag that I sold, it was cheap though. It was almost brand new when I sent it out, the buyer either sent me their old bag or they used this one and sent it back messed up and broken. Took me I don't know how much time spent calling. They automatically closed it in favor of the buyer because i never said anything on the return, I was calling ebay the whole time!! After sending photos, etc. They re-closed it in my favor refunded me, then they reversed it cane and took the money again. I called a few more times and then they returned my money and sided with me. It was RIDICULOUS! !!
I heart this about ebay from another seller. Same story. Jeah its really a mess
Please sir, I need to know where you acquired that flashlight. Purdy pls
Can you get film for the old Polaroids ?
Hi there this is the first time I’ve turned into your channel. Great video. question about the eBay return… do you write things like that off on your taxes or is that possible to write something like that off is as a loss or an expense
It depends on the situation and amount, but I will be counting this as a loss.
Thank you, I appreciate the time you put into these videos.
I think the red carved item in the plastic bag is made from cinnabar.
Do you feel that putting all items shippable is better than say customer pick up
Cooking chicken and pizza now rusty what more xx
Square key is to wind up a grandfather clock
You should record ebay video and sound next time they tell you to do stuff or that they change things.
I've been doing ebay 2weeks now.
I can’t find that Facebook page
Tiring....but fun.
Oof, my heart breaks over that story's outcome. I have one just like it, so I know first-hand how heavy & awkward & susceptible to damage they are. Plus super expensive and hard for a buyer to find second-hand for a good deal. You went above and beyond for this guy. At the very least I hope eBay removed that jerk's feedback.
Great vid as always, cousin.
Are you from Southwest Missouri?
Yup
I am just in the middle of hearing your issue with the ebay return. Just horrible. I will listen further...just had to say if ebay told you they closed in your favor, hopefully you got their name, title, date and time? To me, that's it. You can't go back on your word now and say "oh, we changed our mind". The whole thing seems like a nightmare. I know you can file for internet fraud, and pursue the case outside of ebay but I believe if you can prove ebay said it was closed in your favor...then its a done deal and you just have to appeal it as such...and go up the chain of command within ebay. I just had a return where it was actually my fault, I put the wrong size on the item (one digit away), so approved return - BUT she returned it without tags attached, it smelled and slight damage to it. Ebay did close in my favor, refunded them and nothing out of my pocket, so I'm grateful for that. If you are talking to any rep from ebay always get their name, always write date time and what was said. I don't think I would have sent them new parts...but just hearing after the fact too plus it probably muddied waters in ebay decision - they did not know what to do with that. That buyer sounds like a big piece of work. I'd file something with Federal Trade Com. and FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, your state attorney general and the consumer protection agency. Then let us know how it all turns out. I have a few items worth more than $1,000 I've been afraid to list on ebay. This just validates my feelings unfortunately. I am sorry this happened to you.
How do you make profit on A dollar If you pay postage ?
items that I buy in a lot to sell separately may have no cost invested anymore after I sell other things from the lot ( like large postcard lots). Once I've made my money back and into profit, that item has no cost associated with it anymore...Then I can sell an item for as low as a dollar or even $.01 with $1 shipping cost. I can only do this on small light items like postcards. When I sell a postcard, i use forever stamps I have already purchased at a discount. Currently I have stamps I got in rolls for only 38 cents each. So, if i sell the postcard for 1 cent plus $1 shipping, minus my mailer cost (5 cents) and my stamp cost (38 cents) I am left with a profit of $.54. That's not great, but do it a few thousand times...and it adds up. It also rapidly grows your sales and reviews on your Ebay store which shows others that you are busy and active and have lots of good reviews.
I said Dorkyest not dorcherest!
This is what scares me about ebay. No support and they charge alot to use it.
I stop buying big things a while and start focusing on small valuable items.
LOL Piqua is pronounced Pick-a-wa. I know its a tough one.
Did you do that before? Or am i watching the same video? I have a pet peeve of not watching the same videos twice.
Haha! Your pet peeve... keep it to yourself.
Sorry didn't mean it that way just wondering if I am seeing the same video . I try to go to new one each time.
@chrissettles4127 ok, sorry for my attitude. You can turn on remember what you watch in the settings
I think it’s too late but you should of had insurance on the ‘item’ through the mailer, I would of made a claim through them
When sending an item worth more than what you can afford losing , insurance is a must!
"Promo sm"
I don't like it....they can spill ketchup on clothes and get money back???? That is crazy!!!! Who does that???? Scarey? That is why I'm waffling.😢
Ebay has become awful. I've moved 95% to Mercari.
@ebay Similar to my experiences
