Unsure how to sell 3 different music titles as one lot

[ted_holland4pn4]

Hi,

I am a fairly new seller, please forgive me if this has already been answered.  I searched in community before posting, but found nothing, although that doesn't mean it hasn't been answered before.

I am attempting to create a buy it now lot of 3 cassettes.  How do other sellers do this?  When I list it in Music->Cassettes, it expects me to name the title of the cassette, only accepts one title, and this is a lot of 3 different cassettes by 3 different artists.  Does anybody have any advice on how to go about listing this?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate your time.

@ted_holland4pn4  I've sold a bunch of lots of media, and this has worked for me:  I  just select one of the artists to satisfy the 'artist' criteria, but list the rest in the title. 

The last lot I sold was 25 jazz CDs - in that case I just put one artist in the 'artist' area and like three or four in the title and had good photos.  They were quickly found and sold.

ETA: I listed the rest in the description.

Title: Mixed Bundle (See Description)

Then list them all out in the description.

Various Artists in the title, 1.xxxxxxx 2.xxxxxx & 3.xxxxxxxx in description.

When I list it in Music->Cassettes, it expects me to name the title of the cassette, only accepts one title...

It accepts more than one title if you write it in yourself and ignore the recommended "quick click" option.  Frankly, if you rely on filling in too many optional product descriptions, you could spend an hour posting an item that takes only 3 minutes.  Fill in the required ones, do your best optimal performance with the optional ones.

there will be an option on the listing creation called "Custom Bundle" - Select > Yes, a text field box will appear for you to type in the contents of the lot...further down, after description there is another box check off for "lot"

@ted_holland4pn4  Aside from my post above, I'll post some screen shots for you very shortly as it will be easier

@ted_holland4pn4 
Using Template for Cassettes so you know how the layout will be. 

1. Fill in the Title with the Artist(s)/Albums/ Format best you can that will fit - make sure to place "BUNDLE" in the title - Fill in all required other stuff too. 

2. Fill ALL the RECOMMENDED Specifics - when you done with that on the bottom of RECOMMENDED you see the link highlighted "ADDITIONAL" - click the drop down to expand those specifics fields.

3.  Under ADDITIONAL there is a field "CUSTOM BUNDLE" select "Yes"

4. When you Slect "Yes" another text box will appear - type in the Bundle Contents there. 

The rest is as obvious - REPEAT all the Bundle Contents, Condition etc... in the DESCRIPTION field also so buyers see it all in the specifics and the description. Good luck

Just curious. Why would you want to list 3 cassettes of different artists together in one set?  If they were the same artist i could see but different artists?  It seems to me that listing them separately might bring in more.

People still buy cassettes?   😉

I'm not the OP, but listing by genre is often a great idea - you can come across artists in a genre you like that you haven't heard before, or want to hear more of.  I listed 25 jazz CDs - all people like Ornette Coleman, Pharaoh Sanders, Bro. Jack McDuff, Sun Ra, etc. - the artists all loosely orbited (in the case of Sun Ra, probably seriously) around free jazz/experimental/collaborative, etc.

People still buy cassettes if the material hasn't been released on CD.  Until I ran out I was selling VHS like crazy because so much hasn't been listed on DVD.

Streaming is really very limited compared to the whole world of what is out there to listen/watch so people still purchase and collect.

lol... many times people don't accept a solution, guess many don't come here to even know to. It's ok, nice to get a green check mark once in awhile though 😁 
But no competition - not only do I not do cassettes for like 20 years now - even though they are big business these days - the newest revive trend in formats (there is also big resurge of 8 Tracks past 2 years also). Never liked the format. Aside from all that - sure they are not in the genre I specialize in anyways.

not to mention the horrid sound quality of digital and the fact you get nothing to look at, hold, admire, or appreciate - nothing beats physical copy!
