    I put a piece of bubble wrap between the player and cords to protect from any needless scratching of the unit before the saran wrap. Just sharing. Wish I could purchase plug-in prong protectors in bulk for added protection. Can't locate them anywhere. Great vlog, thanks for sharing your wisdom!

    Great timing! I wanted to find out how to do this as my newness is wearing off and I am getting into bigger, more expensive items. I hit my first estate sale last weekend - it was a makeshift one, the guy's brother died and he came in from out-of-state and just wanted everything gone so he didn't have to move it. Got two Sony 5-disc CD players, seven Sony cameras, two DVD players and three VCR's. (the guy loved Sony products). And three Bose speakers and a ton of little items. He wanted $40 total for everything. But, unsure how to pack them after one sells on eBay (Sony is gated for me on FBA). Your video was great and couldn't have come at a better time for me! Thanks a million brother!

    • @ThriftSchool
      @ThriftSchool  2 роки тому

      As long as you find the correct listing on Amazon. When you are ready to ship yours into amazon under that listing, they will provide you with an FNSKU barcode that you will stick on the bubblewrap/box that the dvd player is in.

  • @country_kitty
    @country_kitty 7 років тому +5

    FYI - power cords come in different Amps and you need to match the strength requirements of your unit. Although your customers will more than likely not damage their units right away it can happen over time. They more than likely won't know the cable you sent was the cause so they won't come back on you about it, it does open you up for possible issues. Allot of people are not aware of power cable related issues.

    • @daydrifter1986

    • @EatingFoodIsFun
      @EatingFoodIsFun 7 років тому +1

      If you're doing FBA I'd include it. These have a higher return rate than other items and you don't want to give them a reason to return it. Plus a lot of listings require you to have all the necessary components.

    • @twillyspree484
      @twillyspree484 7 років тому +6

      EatingFoodIsFun why would you include something that isn't originally included in the package? might as well throw in some free dvds while you're at. there's a reason they sell hdmi cords separately and that is because the quality varies greatly. You can buy one from the dollar store, but the quality would be crap and it will show on the screen. I would actually argue that including poor quality hdmi cables might increase your return rates because some people might think there's something wrong with the unit if the picture is off.

  • @galady8632
    @galady8632 7 років тому +5

    Amazon has so many restrictions and ever-changing rules that I refuse to do visit the website. This idea might not work with Amazon but when I shop packages I use empty plastic bottles for cushion and to fill voids - and it is free. Empty 2 litre bottles plus various smaller bottles (all with lids of course), work well and add little to no noticeable weight. I often ship somewhat fragile items, for me plastic bottles provide great protection.
