Hi – I have just come across your blog and am really enjoying reading your posts. I will certainly be checking into the new website! I have a query on your ebay business – I have found that as a private seller with a lot of stuff to shift (unfortunately, most are things I have purchased (badly) in the past), how do you price to sell? Do you list as a private seller or do you have a shop for things found at car boots etc? Reason for asking is that I often see people who have ebay ‘flip’ businesses (flipping car boot or charity shop finds on ebay for a profit for example US based ebay scavengers or third hand shoppe) who set a BIN price and seem to realise these. When I try BIN for an item that I know is quality or is even BNWT that I list as well down on the ticket price, I get zero offers or the offers take ages to trickle in! Then when I list as 99p zero insertion then I find I have a ton of watchers but an item usually only goes for a few £ which is disheartening…at the moment, its not a major major problem as shifting a lot of personal stuff that I just want to be rid of, but if I venture into flipping this would be a big concern as obviously then you are buying items at x and need to realise y to achieve a profit of z. Most of this angst seems to be around clothes which I think I read you were no longer focusing on. And when I say clothes, I mean good high quality brands like Whistle, Monsoon, Fat Face, Boden etc…..would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks in advance!
