However I think people overcomplicated the whole thing. I check ebay sold listings which helps as a baseline, but I think every vintage shop and seller who is even semi consistently is making sales for like 6 months + starts to understand that it’s beyond basic quick eBay sold listings and/ or maybe reaching out for the opinions of other fellow vintage seller buddies that it’s best to trust your instincts and just price it ( When completely in doubt maybe I am high you can always lower it) But this is a situation where there really is no right answer the answer of what the value is whatever one person is willing to pay for it. All you need is one person, And yeah there are times when I’ve face palm that I’ve been like damn I weigh under price that (Absolutely would not advise canceling a sale like that you need to follow through just from a trust and ethical standpoint with buyers that stuff gets around and sellers do that) yeah but in the end you ship the item and you move on and you can’t like give yourself a stroke trying to price it correctly or beat yourself up if you underpriced it it’s not worth it.. and again I want to reiterate that there is no exact science to it there’s literally no anything I think you understand that and it was good he provided all the information but it’s really important people understand the items literally worth whatever somebody one person will pay for it.

It’s like having new glasses!!! I can see everything so clearly with this formula. I’m going through my inventory now!

Two things I especially love:
1. It forces me to acknowledge and place a value on my time and hard work, and we all know there is a lot of time and hard work involved in selling vintage!

2. It allows me to see straight away what items are viable and what aren’t. Just by knowing that I will need to ad $x for my travel and time and $x to photo/list/clean before I can even think about making a profit makes me realise certain smaller items I was carrying thinking they had a great mark up (knitting patterns & scarves for example) actually don’t bring in enough – if sold individually – to cover the cost of listing them.

Shop day tomorrow, I’ll be one busy squirrel
Thanks
Colleen

She stole images from my website and sold the items on eBay BEFORE she purchased them from my store. She used my images and descriptions in her listings. She’s right when she says she does minimal labor because she doesn’t do anything but right click and save!!! I have 21 eBay listings to prove everything she did. Not someone I would want to be associated with.

I do from experience feel that your mark up factor on condition is low. On just about anything vintage, including clothing, condition is everything and is in a category all its’ own. Otherwise, you have pretty well hit it on the head.
PS, love the new hair cut! NMB

Ha, yes had to include the “Sixth Sense” because we all know it can be a gut feeling. Did you get a chance to test the formula?
