<@U02BKFX3R> I used esnipe for most of those bids and was able to keep the bid down really low.

<@U02BY23UR> I see that you've added more to the cart. Will you be paying for those?

<@U02BKFX3R> All I do is press play right?

<@U02BY23UR> Let's wait to pay until the seller responds to our request. Are you planning on getting any more?

<@U02BKFX3R> I just have two more auctions to go on esnipe.

<@U02BY23UR> I sent a message to one of the sellers requesting that they combine shipping on the marble items.

<@U02BKFX3R> That’s great you noticed that! You’re good at that!

<@U02BY23UR> <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j02xdh1hrfezush/AAB5S1bZ3lxNJtO9s-nHW9BIa?dl=0>

<@U02BY23UR> The photos for the iPad, accessories, and mobile hotspot are there.

<@U02BY23UR> Suzanne Wells' folks will get back to us regarding the virtual assistant thing, right?

<@U02BKFX3R> I have to fill out the form first.

<@U02BKFX3R> I have to figure out the link to the islander treasures account.

<@U02BKFX3R> I’m not sure why I’m not figuring out how to make or get a link to islandertreasures.

<@U02BY23UR> I'm thinking that we don't have an ebay store account. We have ebay accounts, but we don't have "stores." We have to pay a fee in order to open an ebay store.

<@U02BKFX3R> Do you think it’s worth pursuing or not really? Is the fee high?

<@U02BY23UR> If we list a lot of items, then it'd probably be worth it. I think that ebay recommends that we be selling at least 20 items/month before starting a store.

<@U02BKFX3R> So I’m confused where to go from here.

<@U02BY23UR> Actually, it's only $25/month. Maybe it'd be worth it if we hope to start selling a lot.

<@U02BKFX3R> Do we need to list at least 20 items before paying for a store and then filling out the form with the VA assistance?

<@U02BY23UR> No, we need to pay for the store subscription first. That'll establish our store and give us a URL for the store.

<@U02BY23UR> Would it be helpful if I subscribed to a ebay store plan, or can you do that?

<@U02BY23UR> They have some tips about store names here: <https://pages.ebay.com/help/stores/contextual/store-name.html>

<@U02BY23UR> They say that "Ben's Computers" is better than "Zebra Park." :smiley: Islander Treasures fits because we're selling a lot of different stuff there, right?

<@U02BKFX3R> That’s what I’m thinking. I know it’s good to specialize, but if we’re selling things we buy and get then maybe that’s okay.

<@U02BY23UR> <http://stores.ebay.com/islandertreasures>

<@U02BKFX3R> Have we sold more than 50 items on ebay?

<@U02BY23UR> Not with Islander Treasures. We have with timandfranicia, though.

<@U02BKFX3R> I completed the VA Assistance Form from Suzanne Wells. Now we wait until we hear back about the next steps.

<@U02BKFX3R> You’re welcome, Sweetheart! Thank you for helping me to get the other information I needed in order to submit it. :blush::kissing_heart:

<@U02BKFX3R> Does that buyer who bought the wrong size ipad keyboard have to pay to ship it back?

<@U02BY23UR> Yes, they cover the return shipping. Ai adai. I had other people interested in the keyboard. It clearly said that it was for the 12.9" iPad in the TITLE and description.

<@U02BKFX3R> Yeah. Ai adai. At least people are interested in it all the time.

<@U02BY23UR> Cha-ching! We sold the RAM! :tada:

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! Great job! :blush::tada:

<@U02BKFX3R> Yay! Chaching! Someone bought the Poof Booce Pool Game for $9.99. It’s summer time. :blush::tada:

<@U02BKFX3R> Pelaiah just took pictures of the lot of DVDs with my phone so we can list them soon.

<@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.

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.

<@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.

<@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:
