Vintage eBay Scout Auctions This Weekend

Today I'm flying home from Las Vegas with my head swimming. Not from booze but from all the ideas I heard and people I met over the last 4 days. There were people at the conference who had never sold anything online and some that were million dollar a year Amazon sellers. Among those was Richard known on eBay as TechNSports who was at one time the largest used men's clothing reseller on the platform.

Boy Scout Memorabilia Auctions on eBay

I was also hoping to find other niche sellers because my business model is VERY different from the typical flippers who go to the bins and sell clothes. Luckily I met a guy who sells board games exclusively. Just like our hobby there are swap meets, Facebook groups and all the rest. I also met an eBay executive who video taped an interview with me for their internal teams regarding live selling on eBay. If eBay opens the door I hope to be on the short list to get access to that opportunity.

On eBay this week I have 215 live auctions running. This includes many OA pieces as that's been a focus for us in the warehouse this month.

While I've been gone the store has been in good hands. All those years of me going off to be camp director in the summer forced me to build in systems so the ship could run without me. I definitely have new ideas to implement. Flying out here I thought I'd come home geared towards WhatNot live selling. But I think before I do that, I'll focus on refining processes and utilizing my Shopify Store that I am already paying for.
