About this video

Overview

This video discusses a significant mistake made by the speaker on eBay involving a sale of multiple airplane postcards at a heavily discounted price due to an accidental site-wide sale. Despite the error, the speaker calculates a substantial profit percentage on the sale and shares insights into their eBay selling process, inventory management, and upcoming events.

Key takeaways

• eBay Sale Error: The speaker accidentally sold six airplane postcards for a very low price due to a 63% off sale that was intended for a different item.
• Unexpected Profit: Despite the mistake, the cost basis for these cards was only 9 cents each, and they sold for $9, resulting in a 10,000% profit (or 100x return).
• Inventory Management: The speaker mentions having large quantities of airplane and train postcards, with some items having hundreds or thousands of duplicates.
• Future Plans: The speaker is preparing for postcard shows and a whatnot sale, although they haven't done much preparation yet.
• Community Engagement: The speaker acknowledges not having time for a "buyer appreciation" video this week but promises to get one done.
