Am I missing something?

[richardwillardcollection]

Others here say they're very worried because of no sales TODAY! If I get one sale in a month I feel blessed. The nice things I offer for sale are my babies and I like them around, but I am getting older and a house full of collectibles that you cant do anything but look at them. I suppose they will someday just get thrown in the trash and people can dig them out of the trash heap and they will be enjoyed in another house on the shelf. You cant eat things. Things seem worthless to me. I looked up diamonds as an investment and it said they were just overpriced marked up rocks that weren't even worth a meal at a hock shop, yes, even if you pay thousands for one. Gold would be an excellent investment, but again, a hock shop will only pay below wholesale for it. I will keep listing my personal treasures in the hope I make some good sales, it takes me about five minutes to make a listing with my phone.

It's all perspective my friend. With 41 items, I can understand how 1 sale per month is exciting. However, when a seller has 1300+ items and no sales, then it becomes concerning. On Sunday, I had my first goose egg in a long time. From what I'm hearing from other sellers, there may be some announced maintenance going on.

Keep pushing @richardwillardcollection . You have some cool LP's and other goodies. The key is to keep listing and use all of the FREE listings you can. It will balance out by the end of the month.

You hit it right on mark. 

'maintenance" going on...I assume also.

It was actually nice while it lasted...almost 24 hours.

I am back to sales...

Work on your photos - they can be a lot better. You want your items to really pop so people appreciate them. Having hands, other background objects, etc. in them won't do it. A piece of poster board costs about 5 bucks and you can use that to show off your good items to their best advantage. Good luck to you!

"Others here say they're very worried because of no sales TODAY!"  You can come to the Community most any day of any year and there will be at least one seller complaining they aren't getting any sales or not as many as they would like.  This is not a new subject, it is as old as this Community is. 

There will ALWAYS be some sellers not doing as well as they wish they were and others that are doing fine.  There are 18+ million of us worldwide.  Our experiences will be different.  Internet sales it not ever the same all the time.  If that is what you are expecting, you will be forever disappointed.

I hope things improve for you very soon.

I took at peek at your listings... your LPs specifically, with which I am familiar.

I sell among other things factory sealed LPs on eBay, and -- with a few exceptions -- can barely give them away.  

The LPs that you are selling for $8 apiece will probably not move because (a) there are tens of thousands of copies floating around the internet and (b) they are still, even at $8, priced too high for most people who would just as soon listen to these recordings on their phones.    If I were you I'd bump the price up to $9.99 and offer free media mail shipping. 

PS: Your Stanley Black Slavonic LPs has been opened, and cannot be classified as "new."

These two statements seem contradictory to me.

People who invest in diamonds and gold generally do not buy and sell them at "hock shops".

It puts things in perspective.

You have 39 listings of which 80-90% are in 2 categories which virtually no one is interested in or can't find elsewhere for less. No one will pay $50 for a used Noritake stoneware teapot or a Lillian Vernon anything. If you want to sell more I'd suggest more listings with greater variety. Best of luck.
