I have to agree. But we have a saying. You probably heard it. It you want e-bay prices. Sell it on e-bay.

Now I had to add one more comment. At least it wasn't to bad. I'm sure you see it. Oh e-bay is 150 and your price will be 150. Thank You. :)

@@idahofur don’t matter tho the price is the price 🤝

@@japan7855 Yes that is true. You saw the other video of the person who wouldn't really budge on the price. Yea, it is the sellers right. But still, interesting.

Exactly they check ebay all the time and go to yard sales to find "deals" aka "let's try and find stuff that people don't know what they have and rip them off" I check pricing every time I'm selling something so I know if im selling to a reseller or someone who's an actual collector. Resellers I'll try to rip off all day cause resellers and scalpers r the worst... Ill help a collector out all day but never a reseller or a scalper.

Maybe she took into account the 13% they take, plus shipping, and offered a discount off that...too bad the football didn't go same way.

Yes

How is it a realistic approach??? She was just trying to not get ripped off.. All these "pickers and resellers" check ebay for everything they sell yet when someone does it to them its a problem.

@@subzero308 re-read his comment...you misunderstood it

@@subzero308 It's a realistic approach because you can't expect to realise eBay prices at a yard sale. If you could then eBay wouldn't exist and resellers would simply pile their wares on tables in their yard. EBay offers access to a much wider potential customer base at the cost of extra work and fees. If you want those prices then sell on eBay.

Good luck

Actually Genius!👍👍

I sometimes wish us sellers would ban together and do that. Then buyers would have no choice. Then i think about it as a buyer myself sometimes and I'm like eek noo!

😂😂

Legend

Then sell it on eBay, guy! Not at a garage sale, where prices are expected to be lower.

@@marywatkins6798 Not to mention the fact the eBay also involves packing and shipping that the seller needs to handle themselves. So trying to sell at a garage sale with eBay prices is just asking the buyer to do all the work for you. To hell with that.

Yeah he was an idiot for looking up prices... Meanwhile I watch these videos all the time and see them rip off the seller all the time... Y not tell someone what they have? Resellers wanna rip people off but don't wanna pay fair prices... That's why I try and rip off resellers and scalpers as much as possible.

@@marywatkins6798 where is that a rule??? 😂 a lot of referrals in the comments salty they can't rip people off ctfu.

@@darklordojeda then move on and leave simple as that.

Why cuz they want to get what it’s worth? If you don’t like the price then move on and don’t cry about it

@@zeroskatersr they want eBay price but don’t wanna deal with eBay problems such as fees, shipping, possible returns etc. I don’t mean to sound too worked up, it is a minor thing in the end just a bit annoying

@@zeroskatersr dude its a garage sale haha

She obviously sells on ebay herself. Prolly why she had so many Priority mail boxes laying around

@@zeroskatersr your exactly right. And I bet all these people complaining about it would so the same thing but without saying ebay outloud. Anyways she looked it up and gave him a more than fair price. She didnt say 160 like ebay said she said 50 he obviously thought it was a great deal cause he agreed to the 50 immediately

Well they will if it doesn't sell at their yard sale...If you're already having a yard sale then why not try and sell it there? But yeah shame on them for not giving someone a steal only for them to flip it for 3X the amount

@@JoeyLawerence2 99 times out of 100, they won't list it on Ebay, it's more work than it seems like. And if they do list it, with bad pictures, bad prices, bad titles, bad description, high shipping costs.. it'll never sell and just collect dust in their garage. If someone wants Ebay prices, they should do Ebay work.

First, that's completely anecdotal. 2nd, so be it. It's theirs to sell, keep, whatever. These are typically not pro resellers and probably aren't desperate to unload some items for bottom of the barrell prices so Joe Blow can flip it for 5X the amount because he sells on eBay. They don't owe you by coming down to what you want to pay so you can make a profit. Also, I sell on eBay and while more difficult than a yard sale it's not nearly as difficult as you make it sound. Especially if you're selling sparingly. If you don't like the price just move on. Complaining about it when you're goal is to sell for that same price is pretty low.

@@JoeyLawerence2 They should have figured out the prices before the sale. Looking up things as you go is tacky as h.

@@JoeyLawerence2 a steal? Do you even sell on eBay? It’s a pain in the ass to take pics, list, and ship items. It takes a lot of research to even become a seller on eBay and learn the ropes

Same. Douchey.

For real lol good luck getting those prices at garage sale 🤣

Right, Hey guy.. CP just bought a bunch of shit, least you can do is handle YOUR business like a man.

He gave a price don't like it then leave simple as that.

@@TONYTHETlGER him buying a bunch of shit don't mean shit IDC if u bought everything I had out my price is my price... I aint gonna help no reseller out fuck that lol.

Why would you though , no sane person would do that.

That was my thought...LOL.."all the guys are looking for the fishing stuff" and John heads to the foofy Red Luggage ;)

@@barbknight7803 Fishing for dollars... He know's where big money is at.

Yeah I ran into a guy wanting to sell his 8mm Camera and he went to ebay and the prices were all over the Place. I told him here is a perfect example. Look up corningware see those items selling for 6k? They are never going to sell for 6k. People can ask what they want but it's what has sold that counts and some items never move.

Shouldn't go by "sold" because people get lucky in auctions

Just because someone wins an item for 20 bucks doesn't mean it isn't worth more

Lego is NOT like Gold! Lego is a pain in the ass to sell, and rarely does it go for more than retail price. Of course there are a few exceptions, but for the most part Lego, especially opened "bulk" Lego is not going to get much profit.

@@lattiedavis5450 haha... You're totally right. It's basically worthless.

Because it’s okay to want what it’s worth… not everyone has to sell things for dirt cheap… if you ain’t mad that a resale person sell it for what it’s worth. Then it’s okay for anyone else to want the same…

@@zeroskatersr u seem mad. Did ebay hurt u?

@@Yupitsmeagain2 he’s right tho fool

She only brought it out because he asked her to

She does sell on ebay you goof. Notice all the priority mail boxes laying around. And she knew her way around ebay. And anyways she still gave him a hell of a deal. She didnt even come close to the ebay listing prices

Yes, and AT&T used the bell as their logo. Every baby bell that I've ever seen used it too, so I think it was originally for "Bell Telephone", which was sort of over all the baby bells, then AT&T bought out bell and the rest is history, as they say.

I worked for a baby bell and my father is on his 50th year working for a bell. He started when he was 16. I’d love to purchase the sign from you when you list it!

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

You have a point, but yard sellers fail to realize that eBay can get the prices they get because the item can be seen by millions of people potentially over the course of several months. They aren't as likely to get that *one* buyer who'd happen to be one of the 40 people who show up to the day-long yard sale. The reseller doesn't have to purchase it at the higher yard sale price, and it is the yard seller who is more likely to end up at the end of the day with the item taking up space and no money for it.

That’s the best when you can catch them slipping

@@cincinnatipicker I actually shouted you out on your advice about never giving up at overpriced estate sales on my upcoming video because your words popped in my head when I first walked in and felt deflated seeing the prices so thank you for the reminder 🤑

@@michaeljohn2290 and what's the difference between an estate sale or garage sale overpricing something and trying to "get" someone by hoping someone will just blind buy it? If people are trying to squeeze every dollar they can for profit, then I'm going to try and purge every dollar I can to buy. I see sales having items priced way over what they're actually selling for all the time. Because 9/10 people don't know about eBay sold/complete listings.

Too many resellers out there due to covid the market will soon to get drier and drier.

Thanks Kenneth! And thank you for your service!

😂

Pardon, but what is VERO Heavy? Something tells me I should know this one..

yeah i dont understand the logic behind yard sale prices needing to be lower than ebay. Seems like a rule that only benefits the resellers.

That being said $50 isn’t a bad price

Lol, NERDS!

If I see it, I'm going to ask "Oh, how much selling do you do on ebay? Do you do free shipping? Why aren't you selling it on ebay? Blah, blah blah, with the questions. LOL. Just to see how serious they are.

There's no reason to get offended by it. Yeah you might laugh about it later but people are free to do whatever they went. At the end of the day when they still have all their stuff and didn't make much money maybe they will learn that approach was not very effective.

@@berngirl5624 why bother with the condescending questions?

@@hawkeyebricks9905 I’m not offended at all just choose not to bother with them

its not robbing if the seller is too lazy to post it themselves

Thanks Joshua!

Legos is only a word in the American vocabulary its just lego whether its one set or several here in the UK.

Just a guy trying to be a know it all.

When I was a kid back in the early '80s Lego sent me a letter saying not to call them Legos for plural it's just Lego. That was a lot of pressure for you young child! Lol

Yeah so the reseller can go home and sell it for 100$ smh I'm so glad there r people who look up prices so they don't get ripped off

@@subzero308 😂😂😂

Exactly, I hate wen people do that ugh lol 🤷 !!

Thanks! Shoot me an email: cincinnatipicker@gmail.com

Hell, I'm happy spending $5 and making $20-30.

It was honestly the way she went about it I would have been upfront like these go for alot on ebay

So that means when you go to resale that you shouldn’t list it for around eBay price?

@@zeroskatersr When you resell, it’s up to you, but myself, I check eBay, evaluate the condition and put at a price that I deem reasonable

Great point!

@@zeroskatersr Some things might end up sitting on ebay for a long time and then the seller eventually is forced to gradually lower the price more reasonable.
