Buying lots from ebay
I took the risk on a lot I found on eBay. I wrote about it a couple of weeks ago. It met most of my criteria in buying, except one. Lots of pictures but no pics of the backs. It was a bad risk I made. There really wasn’t anything to salvage. Main issue was the smell. It was dirty and dusty and attacked my asthma something fierce. I reached out to seller, in a very nice way and asked for a $12.00 refund (I paid $44). She wrote back apologizing profusely saying she buys tons of estates, hadn’t gone through it except to take pictures. She refunded me $32.00. Even without her refund the whole event gave me an opportunity to flex my wings and just try. I see now what I should have done in selecting. Complete learning experience. Thanks Team Skool!!

Claire, there is no way you could tell it was smelly. It just is what it is. You live and learn. I have seen you in auction rooms and you are a pretty savvy buyer. Lots of question. Ask to see all sides. Everything but the sniff test (lol). So don't beat yourself up over one little lot error. It turned out fine, and lesson learned for all of us. Thanks for sharing.

@Bradley Johns You likely used it on the wrong kind of gorilla. It only works on walking, talking, hairy gorillas. Like in the ad. 😉

@Kara Kimmel That is what the experts stand by. I also cannot use super or gorilla glue because I have had too many trips to the local emergency room with plates or cups glued to my fingers. Or my fingers glued together. I am just a barrel of fun. But Kara is right. The tiny tip on the B7000 doesn't allow that to happen. The worst you get is sparkly finger tips.

Sylvea, we have a 3 hour time difference. Skool was 11:10 and WN says 2:10. What one is right for me? I am classed under Toronto time zone on here.
How long to keep and how move unsold pieces?
How long do you keep items that aren't selling? Once you decide to move them on how do you move them? Lot? Very reduced price? Give away? Something else?

Hi Claire! There are lots of choices you can make. If there are more than a certain number of beads in a necklace, I donate it to a lovely lady that turns them into rosaries for cancer patients. Local theaters are glad to take them. I donate some to a not-for-profit store. Last year I donated 20 Christmas brooches to the St. Vincent de Paul to be given, free, to the ladies and girls that aren't as blessed. It is whatever you are comfortable doing. Whatever makes your heart sing. ❤️
