I am baffled as to why car boot sales are scheduled at such early hours.

Was just thinking would it be worth taking a set of double AA batteries with you, you could just test stuff if need be. Not sure if sellers would get abit iffy though!

Hi dave , loving the channel. I see you promote and do free shipping on your stock. Have you done a comparison and took off promo and free shipping? Would be interesting to know Jane x
@ABLReselling
@ABLReselling 13 сағат бұрын
Hi Jane. Yes I have. I see promoted listings as ad spend.So I gage the rate based on how available an item is. My take on free shipping is that sellers need to put themselves in the minds of the buyers. The more frictionless a sale is, the greater the chance of achieving that sale. Obviously postage isn't actually free. But I see it as kind of a subliminal tactic. If there's one figure for the buyer, it's more simple a transaction than if there were two. Simply the appearance of the word FREE on the listing, in whatever context, is a minor psychological trigger.

Classic reseller tactics Dave. “How much are your pie dishes?” £2 each. “How much are your highly sellable Le Creuset pie dishes?” £20 each 😂 Nice work..

Got your phone out enough to scan everything. I think its so rude doing this and if you bought from me i would quadrapple the price maybe start learning what to buy instead of taking the easy option by scanning everything

a) If you would quadruple the price than you’d be loading your crap back home because no one’s buying that b) scanning everything is one way of learning what to pick up, because it is ain’t 2000 anymore, if you think that is rude then you are easily offended and that’s on you 🤷

I just remain completely emotionless about any transactions. If there’s not enough margin in a deal, I just move on. It’s all about the figures. How you get to the figures is irrelevant.

Personally I think that sellers should actually set prices on their items instead of asking the buyer to make offers.
@ABLReselling
@ABLReselling 4 күн бұрын
I'm sure everyone just does what feels right to them. As a buyer, I'm less likely to enquire about items with a price tag on. Well seasoned car boot sellers don't put price tags on their items and there is good reason for this. Asking a buyer to make an offer is pretty much a moot point. As the buyer will likely open with a very low offer, prompting the seller to tell the buyer where their negotiation start price is anyway.
