How it works

1. Contact me

Email me for a free appraisal of your item or items. Be sure to include brand/model information and any history or special information that might assist in the research. I will do some free research on recent sales to estimate its resale value. If your item meets the minimum value (about $50), I will arrange a pick up or you can ship it to me (whatever is easiest for you). If needed, I will capture any key copy points you’d like to include in your eBay listing. Then I get to work photographing, describing, and listing your item.

2. Watch the action

Once I've listed your item, I’ll send you an email with a link to the listing, so that you can watch all the action as it occurs. Especially for auctions, many of my sellers tell me this part is almost as fun as getting their payment!

3. You get paid

Now comes the fun part. I send you money! Once an item has sold and the transaction is complete, a payment of your choice is promptly sent out. For a typical sale, the entire process typically takes about 30 days, depending how quickly the buyer pays.

I want you to get the highest possible price.

Documentation

Original packaging, manuals, instruction, receipts, appraisals, accessories — anything at all that you still have that came with the item — is almost always helpful in driving up its final price. Before you bring your items in, take a few minutes to find all the related materials you can.

Flaws and Defects

Most of the items I sell are used, and buyers expect them to have some flaws and defects (I always disclose these in the listing, if known). In fact, many buyers are wary of purchasing “perfect” items which are not new. If you know of any flaw or defect in your item, please tell me about it. If you do not, chances are we will both end up with a return from the buyer, resulting in a non-sale for you.

Make It Shine!

A picture is worth a thousand words, and that is certainly true on eBay. While we are more than happy to wipe off a little dust or a few smudges, we are not equipped to clean, polish or in any other way restore your item to its best possible appearance. Take a minute or two before you bring in your item to clean it up and really make it shine.

Service fees

All this work in a small commission

There are no up-front fees to list or appraise your items. I only charge a commission when your items sell. My commission rates are between 35% and 25% depending on the sold price of the item, The service fee includes all related fees; eBay listing & final value fees, payment processing fees, packaging, and shipping. My goal is to make you the most profit possible.

My commission rate is negotiable for clients with a large amount of items, items of great value, or non-profit/charity donations.
