White Family

<@U02BKFX3R> I reduced the prices on some items. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> I significantly reduced the price of the boogie board being watched.

<@U02BKFX3R> I lowered the price on the dvds and added the word “sealed” to the title.

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! Chaching! We sold a swim board for $14.99. They paid for shipping. :blush::tada::dollar:

<@U02BKFX3R> I increased the price of the pool volleyball from $15.97 to $23.50.

<@U02BKFX3R> I significantly reduced the boogie boards for close to what they’re selling for.

<@U02BKFX3R> Would we be interested in listing any of our items as auctions if I can easily do it or just stick to buy it now offers?

<@U02BY23UR> I think that auctions may be the way to go since we didn’t get many bites on the BINOBO listings.

<@U02BKFX3R> I just fixed all our remaining listings that were remaining and were increased by one hundred dollars. I adjusted some of the prices and made a few slightly higher in pricing.

<@U02BKFX3R> I re-listed our remaining items by auction. Some were really low and risky and others were at a decent starting price. :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U02BKFX3R> We have three watchers on our various items now. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> I was planning on listing our pool items to Facebook groups but saw that they’re still listed on ebay.

<@U02BY23UR> Should I take all of them down?

<@U02BKFX3R> I was thinking mainly about the pool and summer items. Can we relist them again if we don’t sell them locally?

<@U02BKFX3R> Do you want to take them all down?

<@U02BY23UR> We don’t have to — we can just take them down if they sell elsewhere. 

<@U02BKFX3R> Earlier today, I showed the children something I had learned about in the last few months which is a high interest and keyword term of “junk drawer” lots. 

They were motivated to place random items together to sell. This will make it easier for us to not have to be very specific about certain items too. We could sell old patterns, sewing notions, random junk pieces, papers, old postcards, books we don’t like, old toys, etc.

*Bionicals LEGO Sale*
<@UR1LN7RJ8> Abraham earned 11.96 for his work on listing the Bionicals. Great job, Abraham! :tada:

<@UR1LN7RJ8> Yay! Great job, Abraham! Thank you for taking care of that listing! 

Also, thank you for listing, packing, and shipping it, Sweerheart! Great job! :kissing_heart:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> Good job in our recent ebay sales the Lord blessed us with while we prepared for our Dallas/Ft. Worth trip and while we were there! I believe during that time we sold about 6 items or less and made over $320 by then in a 90-day timeframe. Praise God! :grinning::pray::tada::heart:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> Wow! Chaching! Praise God! We sold our old vintage Cracker Jack glass decor! :grinning::tada::pray::dollar:

To Sell - Vintage American Bricks and Constructioneer Containers

Image from iOS.jpg

<@U02BKFX3R> Title:
“Rare Vintage Toy Canisters &amp; American Bricks by Halsam/ Elgo Surprise Lot”

<@U02BKFX3R> Ebay description:
“Own a rare piece of American history when American Bricks produced an educational and building toy similar in features and a rival to Denmark’s Lego plastic toys also known as bricks.

Elgo or American Bricks created unique pieces and sometimes pastel colors in their sets. 

This “surprise lot” comes with a mixture of decent and damaged pieces. We’re not sure about their “playability” due to the age of the plastic, but some of the pieces are still holding on to their joined counterparts well from the last time the original owners connected or “played” with the toy bricks.

A door unique to American Bricks is included in the photos.

The two baby blue toy canisters that came with these plastic bricks when we purchased them from what seemed like the original owner show to be of the same historical timeframe and are labeled “Constructioneer” and “Store Container” throughout the outside of the toy tin. We haven’t been able to locate any Constructioneer or similar storage containers of its kind, and they appear to be an extremely unique and rare find!

Grab a piece of history today or help a family member or friend relive their past when they used to build with a set of American Bricks — a toy made here in the U.S.A.!”

<@U02BKFX3R> I’m done with this ebay listing. Can you check on it and list it? :)

<@U02BY23UR> I listed it. The listing is located here: <https://www.ebay.com/itm/304082487520>

<@U02BY23UR> Also, I keep a record of our listings with the file linked here: <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit#gid=2141535966>

<@U02BY23UR> This is going to sell! We have a bid on them right now.

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> Yay! We accepted an offer for $4 instead of our $5.50 for the Lego Battle Droid we got for free. They pay over $8 for shipping.

<@U02BKFX3R> I accepted their offer but am lost with the next steps ebay is asking me such as sending an invoice, etc. Oopsie.

<@U02BY23UR> I think that you’re fine. They just need to pay. I can check on it later if they haven’t paid by the end of the day.

<@U02BKFX3R> That’s good to know that they’ll pay. Also, it gives me great relief to know that you’ll check on it later today too. Thank you, Sweetie! :grinning::heart_eyes::kiss:

To Sell - My Duepunti Silicone Diamond Ring (size M)(blue - true navy)

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> I finished taking pictures today of my used Duepunti diamond ring (blue true navy)(size M) in order to sell it on ebay. It’s too big.

We bought it for slightly less than $44 this past April. I took pictures with our new camera and my phone.

<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gem3nzm3oxwyesi/AAA3zlgIzJIvj0wHAzAUcXeNa?dl=0|https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gem3nzm3oxwyesi/AAA3zlgIzJIvj0wHAzAUcXeNa?dl=0>

<@UR1LN7RJ8> Thank you for uploading the Duepunti ring photos, Pelaiah!

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> Yay! I finished the listing for my used blue Duepunti ring. I just need the shipping to be finalized and the draft to be looked at for final approval. :)

<@U02BKFX3R> Oopsie. I had forgotten to add in the listing about it coming from a smoke-free and pet-free environment. We can change that when the auction is done on Saturday. Can you place that on the calendar to do? :)

<@U02BKFX3R> Our buyer is asking if we can adjust the shipping. Do they have good feedback?

<@U02BY23UR> Their feedback is favorable. I sent an invoice moments ago.

*Savers Purchase - 20210903*
<@U02BY23UR> The pictures of the items that we bought today are located here: <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1VTr2Ku3icO0H5eN2SQ397lzxR5lwyyIn>

<@U02BKFX3R> Great job! Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun shopping for our business with you, Noah, and Daniel!

<@U02BY23UR> My pleasure! I enjoyed it also! A list of the items is located here:
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit#gid=0>

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> I listed the used Dolce &amp; Gabbana youth beanie as an auction with a “buy it now” price. It just needs to be verified and then listed for sale. :grinning::+1:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> I lowered the beanie’s price by ten dollars to $140.

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I added more item specifics to the Dolce &amp; Gabbana beanie to include the country (Italy) it was manufactured at even if it was already in the description because ebay recommended to add specifics. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> I gave the children an ebay listing challenge a short while ago. I gave them a plan of what we need in order to list our items on ebay such as photos (cell phone and/or nice camera), weight, measurements (even any photos showing a ruler beside the items as optional additional photos), discrepancies and photos of them, and other descriptions. 1.) I told them we’ll pay all those who help list the items. 2.) I told them we’d pay them 25% of our sold price minus whatever we pay for shipping.

<@U02BKFX3R><@UR1LN7RJ8> This is one page (back and front) of a temporary ebay file I made and printed copies of so everyone can help at home and to prevent duplicate work. A person will sign or write their name that the task was completed after writing the appropriate information on the line.

One sheet of paper is dedicated for each ebay item. These sheets will be placed in a physical folder.

<@U02BY23UR> <@UR1LN7RJ8> The below spreadsheet is also listed on our Google Chat space named “Online Business.” I’ll mention you in the thread so that it’s easy to find there too.
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit#gid=2141535966|Online Listing Details - Google Sheets>

<@U02BY23UR> This is a great idea! I look forward to seeing the wonderful efforts of our work together with our <@UR1LN7RJ8>!

<@U02BKFX3R> Thank you, Sweetie! I’m so glad and thankful you think this is a great idea! I look forward to seeing how we all continue to work together and our efforts’ work! Daniel has already been working nonstop weighing and writing as much descriptions on sizing and “made in” descriptions as he can on the papers I printed! :grinning::tada:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> I forgot to add the line “*Cleaned by:*” on the sheet and asked the children to add it. That’s important too!

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> Daniel is hard at work still. :grinning:

<@U02BKFX3R> Someone’s asking a question who has zero feedback and with a 0 rating. They are also asking about offers I think, but the listing has a best offer option though they wrote in Spanish. I wonder if they can clarify their question in English. Also, without any feedback I hope they are okay as a buyer. Perhaps we’ll know more once we know truly what they’re asking.

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> ebay recommended I send offers on two items. One of them was Pelaiah’s watch even if it looks like we have no watchers, ebay said there were two interested buyers. So I sent an offer just now of $72 of that $80 item that has a best offer option. 

The interested buyers have 48 hours to accept the offer. :)

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> ebay said we had five interested buyers in the watch, and so I sent an offer of $71.

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! Thank you for shipping it out!

<!channel> When we started this Slack channel, it was originally for Alageta. It included items eventually for ebay as well as other business ideas. Eventually, it looks like this channel was changed to *ebay* instead of *Alageta*. We want to remember what information is included here for business development with reselling as such that can be applied to *Lafamoola* as well. :)

<@U02BY23UR> Do you think that we should change it back to Alageta or create a new Alageta channel?

<@U02BKFX3R> I’m wondering if we should make a new Alageta channel since the information changed here to reflect the new direction which is ebay. :blush: 

Ebay Product Listing, Photos, &amp; Information

<@U02BKFX3R> I tried to find documents on G Drive with photos and information for beginning to post ebay product listings like we had discussed but couldn’t find anything.

<@U02BY23UR> The listing details are in the linked document below. I’ll have to try to find the product photos. I thought that they were in Google Drive, but they might be in our Shared Images folder on the server.
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit|https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit>

<@U02BKFX3R> Thank you! I had found that document but none of the details we had spoken about and so thought I missed whatever it was you referred to when we last spoke.

<@U02BY23UR> I’m sorry — I meant to place a link to where the photos were located in the spreadsheet this morning. I didn’t get to that before I left for work, though. :grimacing:

<@U02BKFX3R> That’s okay. I was trying to find information on my own to start working on listings when I had strength and thought I could find it without having to ask you while you were busy. :+1:

<@U02BY23UR> The images are located on our Shared folder (server) here: /Shared/Pictures/ebay/20220115

<@U02BKFX3R> We got an offer on the Hot Wheels Half Pipe.

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I sent offers to our watchers for the following three items: USAA Army-Navy miniature helmet set, Army-Navy miniature helmet, and the used Apple watch. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I sent an offer to our Army-Navy miniature helmet watchers. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I sent an offer for my blue silicone diamond ring by Duepunti. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I sent a low offer for my used blue silicone diamond ring by Duepunti. We’d still be making a profit if my memory is correct. :blush:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> Despite my lower offer of $58, someone in New Zealand made an offer for $75 instead on ebay for the blue silicone ring by Duepunti. I accepted it this morning, and we’re awaiting their payment.

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> We had an offer eligible on the remaining CPAP item and have three watchers. Therefore, I decided to send an offer saving them around $5.

<@U02BKFX3R> I sent a counteroffer higher than the $20 offer for the CPAP item.

<@U02BKFX3R> I sent an offer for the CPAP item after the person from Israel displayed interest. They ended up buying it but can’t pay for it. Can you answer their question about payment and shipping?

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I sent an offer of $38.50 just now for the $45 miniature Army Navy game helmet since it was eligible for one.

*NV3500 Head Unit* <!channel> We sold the original radio from the NV3500! It should be packed in a medium-size flat-rate box and should be located above the metal cabinet in the garage. <@U02U78DCSTV> Can you help get that? You might have to use the ladder to get it down. It should be labeled as the “head unit” or something.

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! That’s two sales in a row with more than $50 in sales a piece! Great job and praise the Lord! :tada:

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> I’ve created a draft of the water basketball game which includes:

1.) Pictures (edited)
2.) Title
3.) Description

Sweetie, what information do we need such as measurements? :blush:

<@U02BY23UR> I took measurements for it. They are in the Online Listing Details file at the following location:
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190E1qrsqGPukDGXI2qu0Se1eJYScJhOFnihZ1rUVLpA/edit?usp=sharing>

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! Thank you, Sweetie!

I posted the sale of the listing on the Nextdoor app. Here is the link they gave me: <https://nextdoor.com/for_sale_and_free/a3872040-fbcf-488e-bf01-ff4cc41d1515?init_source=copy_link_share|https://nextdoor.com/for_sale_and_free/a3872040-fbcf-488e-bf01-ff4cc41d1515?init_source=copy_link_share>

*Rare Fujifilm Film Canister (Red and Tan)*

<@U02BKFX3R> <@UR1LN7RJ8> <@U02TSJMH69M> <@U02U78DCSTV> Yay! After doing a week or more of research I finally wrote the greatest sales description and story I could for our selling of the recent rare Fujifilm film canister which is red and tan that we bought at the five and dime sale at Alyssa’s Antiques for eleven cents! You can look at the writing here: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WyniN3dgU7t_1hQMr4fho02qW9fb-r9cfwAYo0xvcxw/edit?usp=sharing>

<@U02BKFX3R> I’m thinking that we should start the auction somewhere around $555 or $3,333 dollars. :grinning:

<@U02BY23UR> I’ve numbered the photos 1-12 for the ones that I think that we should use for the ebay listing in the linked folder: <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ez7pa3KB6cKW7yx5FMc7MwVK5NmPmHCC?usp=sharing>

<@U02BKFX3R> The photo selection looks great! Thank you! Let’s sell it! :heart_eyes::pray::+1:

<@U02BY23UR> This auction is published and is set to start tomorrow at 1800 PDT. <https://www.ebay.com/itm/304556780679|VERY RARE Vintage Fujifilm Film Canister w/ Imprint (2nd Logo)(1960-1980) Item | eBay>

<@U02BKFX3R> We need to add “with” for “are taken with a Fujifilm camera and lens” on the last paragraph. :blush:
