How saturated is your niche?

[Anonymous No.55401419]

unless you are the absolute cheapest then nobody is buying shit
same with amazon
used to sell memory foam mattress covers (i have a boxspringbed manufacturing company)
if you were rank 1 in the category of mattress covers, you'd sell 300-400 units per month
down to 2nd place? your sales are halved to around 200ish top
3rd place barely managed to break 3 digit sales
anything not on page 1 was basically a dead product
online is a scam and the only ones who make money on it are amazon and ebay

The promoted system is so fucking retarded for everyone except eBay. I could have the highest priced item but if I promote it it's at the top so what I do is promote everything and just increase the price according to what I'm paying for the promotion, buyers get fucked because they think it's the cheapest because it's on top, such a stupid system.

In my free time away from work was selling a bunch of old shit that had just been laying around for years. Video game consoles and video games. I contemplated doing the whole kijiji, fb marketplace angle to not pay the ebay fee. But local buyers may have been limited so I just sucked it up and used ebay. It hasn't been that bad but I sold like 30 games/consoles over the span of a month and cleared like 2k CAD. I would hate to do something like this full time but my situation is a bit different. I have a post office across from my house. And the envelopes for games are cheap as hell. Buyer places a bid or just outright buys a game. Before or after work I just walk over and ship it. Pretty comfy when you can just leave stuff up and get a notifcation that someone bought something.

This and also you need to keep listing new crap for some reason. The algorithm is extremely strange. No sales for weeks then suddenly 2 buyers in Latvia purchase 2 items that have no relation to each other.

[Anonymous No.55402423]

If there was any viable alternative I would use it. As it stands I will continue to cuck to the fees simply because of the reach it has.

[Anonymous No.55402521]

ebay is dying though. New and specialized markets are emerging where there is less risk, more exposure and cheaper to sell. eBay will be left with chinamen and thriftstore hunters if this keeps up and if previous actions is any indicator they will keep the same course.
>Get scammed, have to give thief that returned $2 usb stick instead of $500 coin the full amount back and because you waited for the automatic refund instead of caving in beforehand you are now "below average" and will have to pay higher fees to sell plus your visibility takes a hit.
This is how ebay is now. Furthermore in the case where a seller does get the money back because he delivered a police report so the indian can call a police department to verifiy (may be a fictional one, a real one is not needed as demonstrated by newer scam methods, just make sure the answering machine says Disneyland or Neverland Police) they will just fork the money over from their own pockets and not the penalize the scammer in any way.. this strategy obviously adds cost which means higher fees.
This is what they have to do in order to stay afloat:
>Sack the indian and filipino phone support, hire westerners instead.
>Implement a payment system based on cell-phone connected to your bank-account which will prevent chargebacks
>Have buyers pay for return shipping
>Make feedback fair for both sides
>Lower the fees substantially
Will any of this ever happen? Of course not. These "professional" and "educated" faggots will never admit any wrongdoing and instead they will as a respons to the flight increase the fees because obviously this is all the sellers fault and when it all goes to the bottom of the ocean they will claim that it was the wrongdoing of others.

You're an idiot who has never sold on eBay.
eBay's fees are nothing compared to how easy it is to sell shit there, increase your prices by 20% and it'll still sell (and cover the fees). The platform is a magnet for lazy pieces of shit that don't want to shop around.

[Anonymous No.55402977]

>>55400788
vintage clothing works very well for an ebay store, since the buyers will do very detailed searches to find vintage pieces.

of course, you need to have enough taste to know what is currently/will become popular. and it helps to recognize what is currently underpriced (for example, buying winter pieces in spring/summer to sell 6 months later)

focus on stuff thats popular with a market like japanese collectors, who will eat up anything remotely americana. especially if you can buy IRL then you can get some great returns

[Anonymous No.55403001]

>>55402977
additionally, if you have some great foresight and enough room for storage you can make some serious cash.

back in 2015 carhartt jackets and pants were everywhere and would sell for like $5-8 at these thrift stores around brooklyn. those same pieces run for $100-300 now. dont believe me look at vintage carhartt j22 jackets and b136 pants from like 1990s/early 2000s

[Anonymous No.55403033]

>>55403001
thats just one example, but there are plenty of pieces that you can find right now and resell the next day. there is a specific type of 1990s sweater from a specific brand that i am currently buying whenever i see it in the <$50 range and i will resell for $100-120. i did this like 5 times end of this winter, and now im stocking up over the summer to sell a bunch next winter

its also helpful to find arbitrage opportunities on smaller sites like poshmark and mercari, or more local sites like FB marketplace and craigslist.

anyway thats all i have to add to the thread. hope it helps someone

Right now I make between $120-$250 (CDN) per quarter selling Magic cards on ebay. I bought a small collection for like $300 just before covid so it's paid for itself several times over, it just takes a while. I usually throw in a few extra cards and don't use any tracking, and have never had a problem in 50 transactions (all 100% rating). I even got some guy that buys a few rare repacks every few weeks. It's comfy, but not enough to really get a lot of money from. I should buy out more collections soon.
Oh yeah, I can't use TCG Player to list because I'm in Canada, though it's owned by ebay anyways so it's a moot point. I just look at the Scryfall USD price and use that as my CAD pricing (so it's about 75% market value based on ex rates). Seems to work fine, and I get a small profit from the shipping too ($0.92/stamp, good for up to 30g of cards, which means I can send about 10 out before I have to earn less)

It is a completely invalid point, samefag, and you know it.

Another genius. Have fun selling at ETSY. What do you think Amazon charges? Feel free to build a Woocommerce install and SEO it if you wish. You're still paying.

eBay is parasite SEO, just like Amazon is. You put all your shit everywhere, and you take the money that comes with the traffic that these authority sites bring.
I have 2000 SKUs and just having all those keywords everywhere, on permanent listings, gets me sales.

It's like you do not understand money or something. Any pro sellers here know I am right. You sound like anti-vax kooks that do not want to receive a pizza if the delivery guy has had the jab.

Better if real sellers only use this thread.
eBay is paid traffic with close to guaranteed sales (if you do not sell you only pay the insertion fee).

Yes, the fees are too damn high, but you only pay peanuts if you do not sell. If you can't add the cost of doing business to the price of a product, you should 100% not be in business at all, duh. You will literally fail in selling anything.

This.
My method: I have permanent listings with fake shortages. My supply is unlimited (since I do not sell second hand junk).
I run a listing down to 0 inventory, then I add one or two items. Since many of my listings have been on ebay for years, the listing will state something like "1 available / 113 sold".

One of the things that annoy me the most with eBay is their support. I feel like they ramped up the pajeets over the past 2-3 years and now it's almost impossible to get an answer/action in the support chat, you literally have to wait to get redirected to a white person before you get something done, I've had a chat where I was redirected almost 10 times, eventually got a white person which just redirected my request to some internal team and then got another pajeet answering something completely unrelated.

Check out MTG Goldfish. In their pricing section they have line charts that show the previous pricing akin to a stock chart so you that might help you as well get more accurate pricing knowing the history.

You will also sell more right as knew sets drop and cards from previous sets suddenly become useful combined with newer stuff

[Anonymous No.55407433]

>>55407302
Yeah, mostly it's just getting into the habit of posting new listings. I think I'm down to like 5-6 posts of shit that's under $5. I haven't played since War of the Spark so all my shit is older, hence why my biggest seller is the rare repacks. I'm happier to sell stuff at a lower price than to sit on it forever. I have a handful of sealed that I'm not selling for another 5-10 years at least. Probably need to buy out some more collections and liquidate them.
Man, I bought like 10 copies of Indomitable Creativity for like $1.25 each expecting them to go up, and pieced them out around $8. Wew lad.

[Anonymous No.55407797]

>>55407433

That's cool I haven't played much lately either. I just got kind of bored with it. I stopped playing the physical game forever ago because it was easier to play MTGO (not Arena) and just unload my cards before a set rotates. Even with the TIX you can sell them at about a 90% ratio for actual USD if you needed. I've always thought about trying to set up a bot on there.

I got some great flips as well. The best was probably getting a couple playsets of Fable of the Mirrorbreaker for about $4.75 and unloading at $58.

I've also thought about doing what you said and buying a couple of sealed boxes every set that drops, keep the shrink wrap on them, put them in a vacuum seal bag, throw in a safe, and wait 10-20 years. If you get 2 boxes for every set eventually you might just hit one that has specific cards that are uniquely in demand.

Some of those older boxes are going for 5 figures nowadays. Ones that are like old but not THAT old.

How much could you sell per pack for those sets in the pic? That would be an easy listing and retardedly easy to ship. One box is about $100 usually roughly so if you could get $5 per pack that would be solid. Offer a slight discount maybe if they buy a bunch

>How much could you sell per pack for those sets in the pic?
Amusingly, the only reason I took an interest in higher finance was because I was watching Rudy from Alpha Investments on YT a few years ago. Jumped onto wikis and Investopedia and just learned as much as I could.
Anyways, the sealed boxes will always command a higher price, especially as the product ages. You can go from sealed to packs, or from packs to singles, but not the other way around. They have value because they're old and they're rare. Most people did not hoard and sit on sealed products in the 90s and 2000s, so there are very few boxes to go around. The most valuable ones are from ABU and 4 Horsemen (alpha, beta, unlimited, and the dark, legends, arabian nights, and antiquities).
Anyone who has enough money to buy older sets will not go for loose packs, due to the risk of manipulation or being searched. Even on newer sets, it's possible to weigh packs before cracking them so you can find heavier ones with foils, or do mass box openings for a store until you hit the chase cards then liquidate the other 24 packs online. You are almost guaranteed to never get a good pull on the buy side.

I remember seeing Gaea's Cradle for $300 in 2010 and thinking "Wow! What an expensive card!". Look at it now, haha. Even a Betrayers box was $500 and I thought that was a lot... looks like the price is actually back to normal on it, the box at least

So if I started buying sealed booster boxes now and sat on them for a decade or two would that be a viable strategy you think? Or is everyone buying up sealed boxes to hold for the future so the supply will end up being to high to command ridiculous valuations?

If I bought 2 boxes of every set for the next 10 years a set drops like every three months or so. $200 x 4 months=$800 in a year roughly x 10 (Plus whatever inflation on the box price comes out to but roughly a cost of $8K-$10K over that time frame and that gives me 80 boxes after a 10 years. You'd think I'd easily be able to recoup my investment and then some

What's your net vs gross? What do you sell? You don't have to give an exact answer, since you obviously don't want any competition, I was just curious how you found it

The thing is that different eras have a certain premium. The older boxes, of course. But then there's the boxes from that until like, Urza's, and then from Mercadian Masques through like Zendikar I are junky sets? Some of the better boxes seem to be from summer releases I think, since they have the shortest print run. That's the other thing too, knowing the print runs.
Also it takes approximately 5-7 years after the print run stops before they really start to appreciate in value, if it's the "right" box, and the price becomes stable. I would recommend watching some of Rudy's videos, he's a little spastic but he knows the market better than anyone, I think. The price swings a lot around release, for example look at picrel and the CLB set. I bought it at $360 around release and it fell 60% before finding a floor. Now would be a great time to buy that, but it will take years before it gets back above $300.
Stuff like RIX, HOU and OGW I got fairly cheap from my preferred store (online) and the market has softened on them. Mystery Booster has been doing the best and WAR/M20 as well, though they're bundles and not draft boxes.
Collector boxes and Set boxes are probably the way to go. Draft boxes feel like they're being slowly phased out in favor of set (fewer cards = better margins for wotc). Bundles will correlate to the draft boxes / loose booster price.
I'm down 5% overall, but it has less beta correlation to the broad equity indexes, so holding SPY would've been worse. Eventually I want to diversify into more Pokemon, FAB, Lorcana, Sorcery, Metazoo, etc

Buy some security tape, the tape that when you peel off it leaves a mess with words like "void" or "tampered"

It's also called tamper tamp.

Take pictures of the item with the tape shown on the areas where a person must break in order to open the item.

Put a note in your item's description stating that if the red tape is removed or broken you will not refund the item.

Ebay has to abide by this, if they do not, threaten them with a law suit.

everyone knows Amazon never turned a profit during the first decade or whatever of its existence, and it didn't need to, because it was black budget funded
"Bezos"'s real surname is Jorgensen
he is from the famous Texas King Ranch billionaire clan, who are jewish
but that was obvious if you have ever seen a pic of "Bezos"
it was also obvious that he is extremely gay, hence the now-ended fake marriage to a very obvious jewess
did you at least figure that out?

someone (glownigger) will say
>they're not jews! cattle ranching isn't a jewish industry!
but that's wrong
King is a common jewish surname, same as Koenig/Konig, and cattle ranching is a very jewish industry
at one point the largest American cattle export business was Samuels Brothers, owned by 2 admitted Jews
go look up the origins of the Lehmans, as in Lehman Brothers

these statements are all documented verifiable facts, and it's all but admitted by the jewish press

and then there's the famous Burnetts of the satanically named 6666 ranch, who are obviously jews, with names like Samuel, Martin, and Ruth, and they are really a banking family, related to Lloyds of London

To be honest, Jewbay is better than Jewmazon. eBay has a better selection of products and wares, some of which are quality products not cheap chink knockoffs. Jeff's ponzi scheme fronting as an eCommerce platform also looks dated and has extremely draconian rules when listing something. Poorfags have no chance on Amazon, because chances are they can't even sell their vintage antique bullshit on Jeffy boy's money laundering operation because they don't have a "UPC" or whatever the fuck. If I had to choose a jew to jew me it would be ebay, simple as.

I am aware of many massive sellers who sponsor the entirety of their catalog (10 000+ listing). At that point it is basically an extra fee for extra exposure but since they all do it its needed to even compete.
As far as maintenance of listings, If its selling well do not change it to avoid losing sales data. If it has no sales data refreshing it will give it another chance.
Sorry for late reply

whoa thank you for this, i actually have been thinking of buying a printer and using the ebay labels because it's like a dollar cheaper than just buying at the counter from post office. have never pulled the trigger on a printer though. any suggestions?

Get a thermal label printer. I use DYMO 3XL or something, that + PirateShip or NetParcel is the first step to cutting down costs

If you're going to hold singles, keep it to the reserve list cards (ideally rares or lands or artifacts) that already have some value ($100-200+). It's tempting to grab a bunch of $10 Ice Age rares, but there's literally hundreds of them available, and if the price on one goes up, sellers and vendors will open their warehouses and dump them on the open market. Cheap cards are cheap for a reason.
For all the backlash on the Magic 30th proxies, I don't think they'll try reprinting the RL cards again. But they've shown that they'll try to skirt the rule (pressure from Hasbro) if it suits them. Any card that is not on the RL will eventually get reprinted. Usually the masters sets will do a few cards that are $50-100 (non RL) and bring the price down - they pay attention to the secondary market even if they legally say that they don't.
New releases will always have hype. That's why it's best to either order a cast a week or two before release, crack them, and then sell all the singles asap (rares 1x, or do 4x uncommons listings). I bought Creativity as a speculation - if you can cheat food/treasure tokens out without creatures, you're guaranteed to hit your big spells. There weren't any when it was printed, but then a deck did well and changed the Modern metagame for a bit so the demand shot up. Always keep an eye out for rare/mythic cards with unusual effects. Like Thought Lash, for example. When Oracle came out, it went from a bulk rare (RL) to a $10 card almost overnight.
But you have to be comfortable holding long term. I got into the game as a kid in 2003 (I was 13) and slowly converting my old shit into sealed/RL.

[Anonymous No.55424321]

Sorry, some of >>55424307 as meant for >>55418922 too.
I speculated. Like if a set comes out and deals with say, artifacts (Brother's War) you want to look at the full spoilers asap and find interactions with older cards. It wasn't a staple at the time, but it's a unique card that enables a specific deck archetype. This is where game knowledge comes into play. I would recommend sitting on sealed product (not boosters - the boxes themselves) if you don't understand the game intimately.

I only have MTG, but I want to diversify into FAB, Pokemon, Lorcana, Sorcery, and a few others.

I have a pretty successful side hustle on eBay. Some things I've learned...

"Niches" are nice but aren't strictly. Volume is. It's far easier to get $1 from 100 people than $100 from one person.

Sell what you know or at the very least have a firm understanding of. IE - don't sell fucking sewing machines if you don't know a thing about fucking sewing machines.

Try to stick with first class items (<16 oz) or items that fit in USPS flat rate boxes and minimize your shipping costs. Free shipping is more appealing to buyers and at worst a <16 oz item is gonna cost you less than $6, and you'll know exactly what a flat-rate will cost you and can plan accordingly.

If you sell large items, make sure you're at least 5x-ing your money. I'm dead serious. 5x or skip it, otherwise a couple returns and the associated shipping costs that you have to eat will blow all your profit.

Yeah I learned a lot from his group zoom sessions on his channel. Watch at 1.5x speed and do my listings while listening. It is a bit of an starting grind but after a while as one;s account "seasons" and with promoted listings, it can flow very well. I personally run with replenishables, though can see the fun in treasure hunting rare items and the like.

The dude could literally have done anything in his life. Piloted fighter jets. Run great companies. Instead he has aimed on "developing relationships with shop owners" and selling their surplus clothes. He is indeed making a lot of cash, but there has to be easier ways... phew.

How the fuck do I increase my monthly sell limit, I've sold dozens of items. Promptly shipped, great reviews, and consistent. I have a couple items worth >1.5k but my monthly limit is $600.

[Anonymous No.55429311]

Always max out the number of listings you sell.
If you do not have enough products, add to inventory up to the max. Even if you only have 2 items, claim you have 10.
They will let you reevaluate every month.
There might have been some other aspects too, but I forgot. All my accounts have higher limits than I need right now. My main account has like literal... millions. Not even kidding. I wonder how they would react if I actually put up a million

Yeah, one of the two is actual business :)
But do not limit yourself to eBay. Ebay is just another sales channel. You should build lots and lots of sites at the same time. With some skill in automation you can populate Woocommerce and Shopify and Etsy with products at the same time.
Build a proper framework and the house will stand!

I've been thinking about getting in the business of buying and reselling videogames by starting out on ebay. I fantasize about opening up my own shop one day. Would that be easy profit since the prices of old videogames just continue to rise?
