Some people like the patina in the silver. I wouldn’t clean silver unless it’s a new piece. Then it looks better polished. If it’s antique or vintage, leave it alone. Beautiful pieces!

I have a death pile over a decade old, have tons of small stuff stacked in boxes. I don’t really even need to source anymore, good for a few years, I am actually trying to donate and get rid of some of it. Just feel overwhelmed.

Out of curiosity, do you use the same info such on both accounts? My wife and I have two separate accounts but with same address. Was just curious if this created less traffic or more. Thank you

I've started mixing in five 10-day auctions every week starting on Thursdays. My sales are up 25%. I've gotten rid of some bigger items, upped my number of sales, and I've actually gotten more for some items than what I would have asked for using buy it now. An example is a Fisher Price Little People playset I just sold; I would have asked 75 bucks or so but I ended up getting $120. Mix in 5 auctions on Thursdays and set them for 10 days; it will boost sales. If something doesn't sell on auction, you've got a new listing ready to go; just up the price and change it to buy it now.

Another good rejuvinating thing, especially for newer sellers like myself, is organizing/re-organizing... In those early years you can let stuff pile up and feel overwhelmed by it, taking a break from sourcing to not only work my deathpile but to organize things in a better and more meaningful way has been just as helpful.

I love electronics. I enjoy testing them and don't even mind shipping them. I picked up a 20" JVC TV/VCR combo with remote in amazing condition a couple of months ago for $5 and it sold on eBay for $249 plus shipping. I'll gladly do what others may be unwilling to do.

I have two 55 inch flat screen TV's that work that I'm going to sell. Because we upgraded to 65 inch TV's. They are taking up closet space. And much more.

Haha I have found that I list the smallest things first and the more expensive things sit in the death pile. So when I drop into it I make a lot. One week a month I pick a theme and only list death pile stuff in the theme (biggest items or most valuable items or consignment items are most common themes)

I have about 50 boxes full if stuff in my death pile, just can't find the time to list more but everytime I open a box from the deathpile, it's like Christmas, never know what's gonna be in there but with yard sale season fast approaching, it's very hard to not source, I enjoy going to sales every weekend which means my death pile gets bigger and bigger until I'm out of space. I know I need to stop but will I? Probably not haha

Pretty slow in Feb. January was ok. I’m also not putting in a ton of effort right now. That will change in the spring, though I’m going to follow your lead and put a bottom line amount on the items I buy. Nothing less than $15 unless it has a great sell though and I pay no more than a buck for the item.

The scrap value of the sterling you sold appears to be $464 at today's price. Of course, you can't actually get that price unless you have hundreds of pounds. You probably made quite a bit of money in the three years you had it.

Good morning Kevin. I’ll be the first one to say hi. My eBay sales are down because I’m so depressed I can’t get off the couch. I’m late setting the items shipped. Haven’t been scouring which helps with depression. Which I could have met u when u came through Florida.

Can you commit to starting the day with a 30 minute walk? The vitamin D will really help. Also go find some houseplants or potted flowers, they also help perk you up. I’ve been there, had a very bad bout of depression just prior to Covid, 2 years of it. Got myself into counseling and forced myself to take the steps to heal. It can still be a struggle.

I will keep you in my thoughts. Please try hard to get outside each day. Even if you are in your jammies. Just get to the porch a get some fresh air. It may help if you make a simple 3 item to do list for each day .《hugs》

I’ve been there. Still struggle with it every day. Get outside at least twice a day for 15 to 30 minutes. Once in the morning and once in the evening. The sunshine and fresh air does wonders. Make yourself shower every day. Eat well, or as good as you can. Give yourself a short routine every day. Just a list of 2 or 3 things you need to do. Empty trash, dust, laundry… make yourself do it. The feeling of accomplishment grows daily and in no time you can focus on doing more each day. I read, do jigsaw puzzles or watch old movies to escape. Just keep trying. And find someone to talk to if you feel you need to talk. Praying you find peace and strength. ❤

Hi Kevin ... I get a lot of cassettes that don't work. is it worth it to sell the cover arts for them or anything else? I do it already for videogames and sell many of them. I also part out board game pieces too and can make good money on them. I find people are always looking for Settlers of Catan board game pieces. I have made about $100 so far out of my board game and it's still 76% there .. it was game I bought for about $4 originally. I didn't think cassette pieces they would sell for much. Maybe I could sell them in bundle for the stuff not worth a lot. The great thing is that they don't weight a lot so they could be shipped cheaply.
