Selling all inventory

[rmv5555]

What's the best way to sell everything left in my inventory?  I've been delisting thousands of cards a day.  If they are worth less than $2 I been just burning them because they are not worth my time selling.  Also not worth my time putting them into lots and selling them.  But there's going to be a ton of stuff left and I want to be off of here by the end of August.  TIA

this does not work.  your shipping cost gets too high from the weight.  I've tried

ebay just sucks.  I don't want to do it anymore.  You pretty much mentioned the main reasons.

[rmv5555]

For example today a buyer returned a $25 item.  Lied about it being used whenever it was new.  eBay excepted the return and made me pay return shipping.  Then I got the item back and they opened the packaging.  So I tried to do a partial refund.  The buyer complained and I ended up having to pay him the full refund.  And now I'm stuck with a used item.  That's just one example of dozens of reasons why I hate this site. So yeah screw them I'm tired of making them money

I'd rather take the money. A pile of ashes does no one any good.

 I don’t care about the money and I enjoy burning things.  I also don’t want to make eBay anymore money

I have methods.

I throw all my old cards that have no value in-between the walls of my garage and house where there is no insulation 1000 years from now some lucky person might hit it big.

Up that number to $5.

Reading all the threads here, I guess I can understand why the NASCAR cards I have are not selling. Most of the are from 1992 to 2000.

I might still try to sell in bulk just for the heck of it later in the year.

Most of my items (currently on a time out) I am considering doing the same thing. Once I get done taking care of a problem I will be re-listing everything.

Best of luck to everyone out there trying to sell.

I would say, Burn it or donate it or find a local auction house that has consignment auctions and get rid of it there.

I've actually been giving this a little thought lately. Not ready to throw in the towel yet but in six months, a year or two who knows. I have decided when the time comes I'll load it all up and go the auction route. I've already made my money off the buys so whats left is the less valuable harder to sell stuff. There are a hand full of auction houses around here that do spring and fall consignments.

It might be some new enterprising ebay seller that buys it. 😀

If you have any local auction houses in your area, try them. You may not get much, but you may get some cash out of what's left

This a good idea

I’ve already subconsciously moved it to $3.  Burned another 4k cards or so yesterday

I used to have an old cistern I threw everything in but it finally collapsed  years back
