That doesn't stop price gouging by the corporations ...so much so that Corporations and CEO's are price gouging in record high numbers. If people actually paid attention to how their members of Congress of the GQP vote , they would stop voting republican forever. The GQP always vote to protect the 1% and give them tax breaks as well as vote for themselves raises....we cannot vote ourselves raises, but we can unionize in big numbers.

Funny that there is even a conversation about how the economy is doing... Food and gas have been up about 30% in my area since 2019ish. Also, no, most people did not make that loss up with increased wages. In fact increased wages only made up a few % of that loss for MOST people.

@ohiograssman1564 4 месяца назад

He knows somebody at the golf course who knows he resells, if I remember right, the guy at the golf course reached out to him and asked him to come and see if he wanted anything because nobody had claimed any of it in forever. I wouldn’t make it a habit to source lost and found items lol only when everyone pretty much feels like all the items are practically abandoned by their original owners.

@chrisf6765 4 месяца назад

The best part is you can take it at face value and literally try to source the lost and found at your nearest golf course. Or you can use it as an example of thinking outside the box and brainstorm other, similarly unorthodox sources of reselling goods.

Great points made Kevin! I stopped in an Antique mall today. I was shocked at the cost of items. A rusted 1lb coffee can was $20! I know those are old, but $20? So I kept walking. Working estate sales (bought 2 1 lb coffee cans for $1 each a few weeks ago), helps me find things more reasonably priced! They can keep the rusty can and let it collect dust. We use those old coffee cans to measure animal feed. Lol

So very true! Theyre just stealing from us while cutting costs bylowering quality. My chicken feed ordered yesterday (very reputable company) had gone up 35% since last month! No different ingredients and they had to send me Replacements last month because the order before that was foul and chickens refused to eat it! I will be finding a different chicken feed locally. That's the advantage of a free market as long as it's a free market. Unfortunately almost everybody has jumped on the bandwagon already.

@tonymiranda917 4 месяца назад

@reneealfonso347 u literally just stated my point for me. Rents rising, prices of goods soaring is not inflation it's price gouging. Companies don't care how much we make, they know they can charge what they want cuz we have to buy it. They report record profits and laugh as the rest of us struggle. They profit off of us. When regulations are cut and they are allowed to do it, they are not just gonna stop when they can profit off of it. They make these record profits, cut employment and pay the same or less to their employees. Research who does this and stop buying from them, that will send a message.

I agree that thifting has gone up due to mandatory wage increases. I do thift for items, but that has decreased lately because of this.

@KS-un3pi 4 месяца назад

I feel some stores have raised prices because people are reselling or they are greedy. We have a local charity that even marks items higher than retail! A lady told me a story when she brought it to their attention, the lady that priced it came out and yelled at her. It is a charity and this all was donated!! I get there is overhead cost, but they have priced out many in need. They own lots of real estate locally too and help some. But it makes you wonder.

@lindadobberstein2035 4 месяца назад

I’ve noticed lately on eBay that as soon as I look at something an offer comes in for a lower price! I suspect that things aren’t selling as well as they used to! When I purchase it’s that the item that is for sale is exactly what I’m looking for! The price matters, and I will pass on it if it’s in my eyes to expensive!

@dash_rabbit 3 месяца назад

Just for context, that's not a manual seller resonse, it's an automated response offer that that the seller added to the item as a selling strategy. A buyer might be able to take advantage of that setup by adding the item to their watch list to see if they get a lower offer.

@exhibitdesign901 4 месяца назад

Quite often people spout off before doing their historical research. I appreciate your perspective and that you have actually studied history. I do remember the gas issues during the 70s. I also remember the stuff going on in 2008. As far as reselling I do not buy sterling silver or any precious metal, unless it is "hidden", this means I pick it up at thrift stores, garage and estate sales where they have misread or didn't read the marks, so quite often I pick it up for less than $1.00. It is true the saying that goes "you make your money on the buy". If something is marked sterling at a garage/estate sale or thrift store, then you are probably paying too much for it as a reseller. Perhaps the disabled lady can make something that will sell - such as sewing etc.? I have a ton of ideas of things to do with sewing.

Hey Kevin, thanks for the good words I appreciate you and so many of the RU-vidrs I follow b/c y'all have made such a difference in my life with this reselling. Without the extra income it's been bringing in I really don't know how we would be making it. That being said, this is my 2nd year of really working at reselling consistant sourcing and listing and my sales are WAY WAY up from last year at this time. For me it's probably mainly learning the ropes and refining my process, rather than any reflection on the health of the economy.

@sebastienmillon6149 3 месяца назад

No economy is monolithic, and there can be many diametrically opposed experiences within the same period and place. But as you point out, trying to have personal agency and a problem-solving/willing to learn/improvisational mindset are key.

I am not going to track you down if you cannot respond within 24hrs. Then i see people having 5 day handling time, titles with 6 wordsa and many other things ebay does not like such as all caps symbols in the titles. And this is just things i am actively trying to buy for personal use. Now things are odd with other situations such as glitches etc but i keep at it and making changes which has always helped me increase my sales. Your video has been a great help and i enjoy listening to realistic views that some people hust dont want to hear

Overall total sales are down, but the sales that are coming in are for much higher dollar amounts. Softball bats selling for $200 plus and vintage 1925 silver plated cornet for $400!

LaserDisc is a medium with analog video and digital audio and is (hence the name) read with a laser beam. The Godzilla movie you sold is of a format commonly called "videodisc" that is read with a stylus, similar to a phonograph record.

Nobody "needs" comic books...I knew that going in. I'm gonna sell like 1-3 a week, tops. It's all about patience for me. Great vid, sir!

@bennystratton7734 4 месяца назад

100% most do not have patience and as long as you know what your getting into before getting into then you won't set yourself up for failure or disappointment or stress!

Kevin , could you PLEASE do a video on the promotion program that EBAY has out there.I am really so aggravated that they actually charge so much to show our product.I feel like if I don't promote I might as well not even list.As soon as I stop promoting my sells almost stop.

The comic is the first appearance in a comic book of Snake Eyes. The buyer got a great deal as that book should have been $100+

Re: the disabled retired lady selling jewelry... An aquaintence who rescues and re-homes cats; sells at a local flea market, items that have been donated to her. Most people I know donate on a regular basis somewhere. If you can get the word out that you would like to try/ test different items for resale, many people would probably offer you items to sell. Maybe small items. The Crazy lamp lady reseller seemed to sell small fragile items. Also, you have the experience, maybe you could team with a person that can do the running around on the weekend but I'd too busy to monitor and prepare for shipping. Just ideas.

Watching some videos where a successful reseller tries to help a failing reseller, it becomes obvious some people just don’t have the skills needed to succeed at anything in the economy.

My store was closed for over a month due to flooding. I’ve had it back open on eBay for a few days without listing a thing in weeks and I’ve sold several things each day. It’s crazy.

@Brandon-5042 4 месяца назад

I’ve been having a really hard time selling items the last few weeks. Usually I sell about 2 items per day on average and now I’ve been selling like 2 items a week. I haven’t been getting any offers and it has been really slow when it comes to getting views. Hopefully things pick up…

I think this economy is hardest on young families and fixed income persons. I'm a reseller w booth space. Sales have been ok. I make my rent and get a check. I like most thrift stores. I travel about 25 min away where I can hit 8 stores if I move fast. Lol. Good luck w all your enterprises.

Some people made a ton of money during the Great Depression, just like some people made a ton of money during Covid. And the government often chose winners and losers during those events (especially Covid.) They succeeded while most of the population suffered terribly. Not sure why people can't understand that.

@greatlakespicker9970 4 месяца назад

I find myself passing up stuff i use to buy just because its not selling anymore or there are 20 listed , you have to stay up with the trends

@matthewcolicigno8132 4 месяца назад

Yes, i agree you can make money during a depression or periods on inflation. But you need cash flow to make big buys that take time to sell off individually. Fortunately, i can do this. But am more cautios about buying now because a certain portion of the population just isnt buying now. They need money for necessities not wants.

@TexasHeatShop 4 месяца назад

My sales have been at an all time high, and i never expected this especially starting this year. My last 90 days on ebay is 34k, and 12k on mercari. Which is crazy since i mainly resell collectibles, toys, and some guitars. Things still do seem gloomy moving on forward but I'm very hopeful and also I'm getting extremely cautious what i buy to resell. I'm a picker and heavily rely on my local marketplaces such as Facebook and craigslist.

I have said this before but will post again, use a simple 1.00 wall calendar. Write each day how many packages you ship. Save the calendars and you will see a definite pattern hit every single year. This past two weeks being slower happens every single year. It must have to do with kids getting out of school possibly easter and mothers day expenses. No sure but what this will do is ease your mind that it is not permanent. With this said what we do is work harder through these periods to drive sales. The days of you just listing and depending on the item to sell are gone. You must help drive buyers to your ebay stores from outside media now. Same with websites. You are also going to have to spend money doing this! I also want to say I met a woman when I was young Her and Her Husband became super rich during the great depression. Now they were constantly in fear for there lives because of it at the time. He was a Mortgage Banker. Yep he repoed poor peoples homes that had mortgages Remember you were considered poor prior to 1940 if you had a mortgage!

@enjoytheshow7457 4 месяца назад

My thing with eBay is that as long as you list everyday you will sell everyday and the more you list the more you sell and if you don’t list then you don’t sell. That’s it period

Timely message on mindset. Just yesterday I lost a good portion of my inventory and all of my personal belongings that I'd been storing for when I had a home and memories from when I had a home. I don't want to fall into a victim mindset, but it's taking everything within me not to throw in the towel right now. I had a lot of odds stacked against me at the moment, but I'm just too stubborn to give up! BTW I had that green glow worm when I was little. Wish I could hug him now.

@recycledgamer654 4 месяца назад

First of all great videos and good points made keeping people aware of what is going on in the reselling business thanks ok now I have been a reseller for 29 years longer than some people who watch your videos have been alive Lol and I have to say that the past 3 months have been the worst sale through that I personally have had in a long time not even the top sellers such as video game stuff are selling good right now so if most of your OG resellers on eBay are struggling than something is wrong people can throw BS in the comments oh it is your fault that your sales suck or get off your ass and fix it Lol than I think these people more than likely do not know anything about reselling on eBay or any other platform.I think people are uncertain of how this year will turn out being election year maybe they are scared to spend money and saving more that is why I have several forms of income when one is struggling another picks up the slack again great videos Commonwealth keep it up.

So I have never commented. I honestly feel it is sad at how many other sellers feel they need to be keyboard warriors and put other sellers down. That said please continue with your history lessons. I love your insights. I love learning not only what is selling but the history aspect thrown in. Thank you for being you. On a side note I know you do 50/50 with St. Jude. I love that but wanted to give you a couple related non-profits I highly recommend as a Mom of a cancer survivor. St. Baldrick's for research and Make-a-wish just for the kids. Wish you the best.

I keep seeing stores that “aren’t selling like they used to” have antiquated items or items that aren’t trendy or collectible anymore. The successful people are flowing WITH the market, rather than fighting it.

@answir 4 месяца назад

Contributing factors: higher expenses, lower net profits. Big tech manipulation is real and should not be dismissed as a factor...winners and losers being managed by tech. There are sellers in all forms of business who go above and beyond, yet the results are just not adding up. This is twilight zone territory, and all things business not making a lot of sense. For those whose sales are through the roof, can you say the same about your net profits? Maybe, if other important business expenses are not involved...physical location rent is a big one, insurance, fees, maintenance, utilities, and on and on. These are the facts for us all, regardless.

You are so lucky that you are not sourcing in SoCal. I pay twice what you pay and most of the time I have to ship to the East Coast. My sources are smarter and know the value. I’m thinking of moving to the South. One of my alter egos is Michael Bobby Ferguson the faith healer and gun store owner. I should fit in really well.
