Best offer

So someone made a best offer on an item of $100 from $250. I am fine with $100 but I countered $150. I figured he would just take $150 or offer $125. 

Never heard from him again. Rats.

Funds: about $1,600 I estimate to have about $1000 of product left

I am a drop shipper?

So the cameras are selling likes hotcakes. Only 5 of the indoor ones left. I received an order on eBay for 2 cameras. I went to print off the label and the destination address was different than address of the person who bought the cameras. I found a note that said please package the item well and do NOT put an invoice in the package. Looks like they sold it somewhere else and then bought mine on eBay and had me ship it to them.

So basically I was a drop shipper in this case. OK with me as long as they sell.

Zebra 105S

I purchased a Zebra 105S yesterday on eBay for 20 bucks. It is local so there will be no shipping. I am hoping to start using this to print out my labels rather than my laser printer. I think over time it will be cheaper. Though I am not sure if it will work with eBay. Will let y'all(this being pretty much me) know.

Funds: $200(still a lot of product to sell)

Buying threshold

So I started my pricing out at $70 for my WiLife Indoor camera add-on.

Nothing for 9 days. Then last Monday(the 29th of August), I dropped the price to $65.

In three days I have sold 10 of the cameras. Not sure why 5 bucks makes that big of a difference but sure seems like it did.

No, there were not other products like mine selling for more than $65 but less than $70.

I find it all very interesting.

PayPal doesn't trust me

PayPal has to decided to hold my money for 21 days before releasing me. The reason is that I sell electronics and my seller rating does not have enough ratings. This is different than your eBay rating. My eBay rating is 222. My seller rating only has 11 ratings. I guess being a customer for over a decade with no problems means little.
Calling them was an exercise in futility. . If there was any other good options I would take it.

This seller rating is not good enough for PayPal!

Logitech Wilife Digital Security System

I just purchase a large lot(at least for me) of these cameras.

 In all it will cost me about $1700. $200 of that will be to go and pick them up as they are about 4 hours for where I live.

There are 14 outdoor camera and 28 indoor cameras.

Few reason why I went after these:




First, they were brand new in brand box. This simply sells better on ebay.
Second, there are only 2 different kinds of cameras. This makes so much less work than than if there was 20 different kinds of cameras.
Lastly, they are logitech, which is a brand most people recognize.

I am hoping to make $1000-$1500 off of these. Looking forward to getting them and cluttering up my house even more.

 I am now broke.

Fund: -100 dollars

UPS cheaper than Post Office

So, I sold a Apple Mac Raid system for 50 bucks.

It weighs a lot. I packaged it up weighed it and did the online post office thing. I weighed it at 70 pounds. Cost 68 bucks! Took it to the post office this and it weighed too much. Anything over 70 pounds they will not ship. The scale wouldn't even say what the weight was. I took the package to the UPS store during my lunch break. It weighed 74 pounds and cost 64 bucks. 4 dollars cheaper than the post office?
This surprised me.


Two lessons: Post office doesn't ship things heavier than 70 pounds and UPS is cheaper on heavy objects than the post office.

Funds: $1400
