    To maximize money, you break up everything individually and slam e-bay at the same time with everything.

    But you have almost everything so it will take months to gather, tag, pic, and prep everything.

    Now you can sell in small lots, takes less time, but less money overall.


    Or you can do a couple Big lots, even less money, but it will take a heck of alot less time to do.

    Which is more important? Time or Money?

    Odds are, no.......

    You can give it a shot, if you don't mind paying the e-bay fee's, but there are very few people with that kind of dough laying around.

    Curious why you would list everything at the same time? Increase the chance of buyers picking up multiple items? Just looking for your thoughts on this.

    I usually list similar/related items at the same time hoping for more multiple sales by the same buyers, but I don't like putting out too much otherwise you're kind of competing with yourself.

    Sometime you come across a guy that e-mails you asking if you have anymore stuff that your going to list. Then you really hit the mother load when he buys all your stuff.

    Also the 1st and the 15th is payday for a lot of folks so listing around then and right before weekends has worked well for me.

    If you don't like the ebay fees, I try selling your stuff on collector sites first.

    Yeah from a personal standpoint I'm sure you have a number of items I could use...but as a whole no way I can afford that.

    You know....I told you all that Wyse can't handle drinking. But "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...no one listen to Apac, he's always drunk"....see, Wyse has a couple beers and is ready to sell of all this stuff.

    Some guys can't handle their booze.

    Just need to point out one flaw for you Wyse:

    You are selling off something that will only go up in value....to buy something that decreases in value the minute it is titled. Just pointing that out, do as you wish buddy.
