If You See This Thrift Store Item, Buy It 

I cannot believe postage is going up again, I can’t even login through the app, my packages are getting shipped to Vic, SA, back to Vic and then to New South Wales where it was originally going. The whole board of Australia Post needs sacking.

I reckon it’s good to have a variety and learn different categories, if you sell a couple of pop vinyls, you can buy a couple of pop finals and just keep one tub of pops.

Yes mate freight is a killer but . Austpost packaging makes you look professional and Sendal only reliable city metro.

I’m a small eBay seller 40-50 a month. Auspost prices are killing it for the buyer and taking their cut from the seller. I’m investigating other postage options. Auspost satchels are easy but $$$

Pricing Lego when you are guessing on the completeness can be a challenge. I am a fulltime Lego parts seller and only dabble a little in sets, because of the challenges of meeting buyer expectations. Minifigures can be the biggest issue, depending on the set and availability some can be expensive to replace and sometimes may need to come from multiple sellers. In this case Ross and Phoebe can be purchased for about $17 including postage from a store on the website BrickLink. If I had made this purchase this is a set I would put a little time into confirming the parts and trying to make complete. Mostly because it is the business I am in, and taking a quick look at the parts overall, there is nothing to wildly expensive in this set that would see me needing to spend more then maybe $30-$40 to get it complete. I of course do also have the option to sell the parts individually, which is what I do with 90% of used sets I get, just because the resale price is not there especially on low end sets and unless the resale price is going to be over about $150 it probably is not worth the time to inventory. From the position you are in I think $250 is a fair place to start. Incomplete sets do sell and can fetch good money, a friend that is also a Lego seller has proved it before and I have also got some really good sale prices on a few vintage sets at times as well, even though they are missing a couple of pieces.

$250 is quite reasonable, great job finding that one!!

The July 1st price increase in postage is ridiculous, it's only just gone up recently 😢 Combine this with harder to find or higher priced items in the thrift shops is making it incredibly difficult to turn a profit.

I only sell a few bits from time to time on ebay ,pretty mych given up on it i sell direct via my own website now much easier more profitable and more control

I see a lot of people talk about shipping prices as sellers but it shouldn’t impact you directly unless you do free shipping on eBay. Do you do free shipping?

I am so over the yearly price increases by Aust Post!!!! Like when does it slow down....will we be paying $20 for a regular satchel at some stage. 🤬🤬🤬

This is a bit random to point out but it was a huge leap for your channel imo. I like how you were out and about sourcing and it cut to courney filming by herself updating the Thomas listing, then back to yourself. Its more to the point and is great cutting to and from. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Matt Make sure you state that you glued the boots I have found that glued shoes do come apart a lot from my experience.

List the Lego set & say it's incomplete in the title & make sure to take plenty of photos. Your price range sounds fair.

Some great sales especially on the jeans, I’ve never heard of them. Nice pick up on the Friends Lego, I was shocked when they allowed you out the back. I think postage costs are going to be a huge issue for sellers going forward, especially even some of the sellers comments here are having issues. I like the thrifting videos, thanks Matt.

Thanks for sharing!! Great video!

Try to estimate the percentage of completion and charge accordingly. Mayve a quick count of parts you can see etc to help with that number. Then sell as approx 95% complete etc.

Fairly sure Australia Post increases applies to all australian sellers, people play the same violin every time, just have to keep on keeping on. I love when pricing goes up because I know other people will give up but I won’t! Tracking for about a $5.5-6k month @ approx 50% margin. Going well!

I am only a very part-time seller - but. It have my sales dried up! All items I have sold many times before

Great video. It's made I'm a UK reseller and the amount I sell to Australia is crazy. Don't they have stuff over there?

9 days ago, there was a Lego Friends 10292 set that sold for about $250 complete on auction. There's one that has been listed 3 days ago that has a couple of watches and is selling for $315 complete. I could sell for $275 incomplete however Lego value has been decreasing. If you sell at $275, definitely do best offer. Otherwise $250 is fine but don't do best offers.

Postage going up is unbelievable to me when it was raised not that long ago. Getting harder and harder for small businesses that don't post enough parcels to hold band discounts. Super frustrating. Aust post had an item of mine going from WA to Melb then sent back to WA, still didn't arrive back to me. I refunded buyer in full. 3 weeks later it finally arrives in Melbourne. Sigh. Buyer offered me money when it arrived but I said gift for the hassle and pay it forward to someone one day. Grrr Australia post and their monopoly on postage essentially.

What is a sell through rate? How do you check that? Thanks

Sales have slumped in the last 2 weeks. Aus post pricing is killing me. There seems to be no way around the cost of stamps. If I list with tracked post I can't have the cheapest listing. Hoping things will pick up in the next few weeks.

How do you have ur coffee ☕️ or tea??

Postage is a stinger in Spain also. Just wondering with dvds, if Disney is a good punt?!?

Another great video Matt thank you. Does Courtney have her own RU-vid channel?

Canon and Nikon cameras do incredible for me, most sell within 3-4 days

I would check bricklink for the cost of those mini figs to cost it. Mini figs are 90% of the lego sets value

It’s a Nikon camera not a canon haha. Another great videos guys ❤

Hey whats your opinion on sendle i hear its super cheap i sell lots of lego figs and hats, clothing. Is it reliable cheers love you daddy matt

Great finds❤😊

Hope you don’t mind me asking what is the name of your eBay store please

Hi, I watch your videos and they are awesome. I'm also sells on ebay. Started around 2 months ago. Still when I do sell, even buyer pays instantly, ebay releases after an month. Do you know when it will be reduced? Eg: get money next day or so.

Ross + Phoebe are $12 each if you want to complete the set

i was suprised when i saw that graphics card cause i like my computers and i know you dont normally sell that stuff.

Great video 👏👏

never heard of those jeans Im old are they an American brand?

$250 seems fair for the Lego. people can order the parts they need😊😊 or you could probably pick the parts up from the lego guys at the flea

Can you buy the 2 missing caracters online ???

Epic video! 🔥

Are those chunky dunkys real? 😮 My fav shoe ever

Size always matters you reckon guys? Haha couldn’t help myself.

$250 for me on Lego

Our sales have all but dried up…so our postage is back on the lowest band…

I stopped selling because postage is just not worth it

selling okay, finding tough to source items

Separate the pieces, take a picture and let AI count them, they are specialised on this kind of stuff honestly!

that lego friends set is no longer made so should do really well for you

No way those boots fit into a small satchel.
