Announcement made today: Kitchener, London, Ottawa West closures.
This sucks!

Hello,

I need to sell my vintage Yohji Yamamoto pieces from the 90s (female line). I would like to have your advices on which platforms to sell. I'm thinking ebay and grailed but any other platforms are appreciated. Also, do you know any vintage stores would be interested in his designs? I just moved to Toronto and still in the exploring phase.

Thank you so much!

Say you take 3000k in scrap to a scrapper and they write you a cheque, do you have to pay tax on that?

I have china in an old and (seemingly popular) pattern.

It's definitely not a "set" there's only a few plates.
How do you sell fragile things on eBay? (I need packaging advice)

Also how do you calculate shipping? It seems like shipping is exorbitant here.

Ebay canada has extended the discount on tracked packets to the u.s. indefinitely.

We had a good storage locker recently that has yielded a mix of 10k to 24k gold jewelry.

Some we hate to sell for melt as the chains are broken in two.

However, 2 or rather 3 items in particular we don’t know do we sell them privately versus sell for scrap melt.

First appears to be an older wedding band made somewhere in Asia.

Marked with 18KT as as a PT900 and has a single solitaire diamond approx 0.20-0.25 CT.

We run our numbers and the melt value is close to $450 CAD.

Also two Swarovski earrings.

They are marked 24k gold but have a lot of gems that we think are diamonds. The melt weight on the pair is just under $500. I just have no experience selling jewelry online.

We have a melt buyer coming to town next wee and of course we love the idea of just being told everything we’ve collected.

I think total were at $1800 in melt. Just worried we lose a lot.

Hey guys, I'm not into flipping yet but Im just curious about the shipping cost as I've read that it's mostly the biggest issue in this sub. I happen to live near the American border (5 minutes away), does it mean I can ship from the US right away and get a better margin than doing it from Canada ?

I sent a vintage CCM jersey recently using Stallion Express, and apparently the item was seized at the border for suspected counterfeit. The buyer reached out to me and showed me the letter they got from US Homeland Security outlining the situation. He explained to me that he has been in contact with the person who was listed in the document, but the agent will not release the item, telling the buyer it is counterfeit and there is nothing she can do.

I've emailed the agent explaining the background of the item, but I haven't got word back yet.

Has anyone else had this kind of experience? This is a first for me, I've never had an issue sending over jersey's before.

Planning to bid for Apple watch ultra. Thank you in advance.

This week I've had 4 "not shipped on time" defects applied to my account. I shipped them all on time but I guess the acceptance scan that PostNL tracking uses isn't acceptable and they were apparently delivered late. I've shipped hundreds of items using PostNL and hadn't had an issue until this week. Perhaps eBay altered the "international standard shipping" time frame, which was the shipping selection I was using.

I changed all of my listings to "international economy shipping" which added a few weeks to the delivery time frame and changed the PostNL tracking to Stallion's internal tracking, which I'm hoping shows an acceptance scan (it does with Fleet and ICS).

Just wanted to give a heads up. I tried to appeal two of them so far and was denied. Hopefully the remaining ones in transit don't ruin my Top Rated Seller status.

Today I was at a regular location, I bought a Star Wars book, I am used to it being at least 3.00 maybe 4.00. I was shocked to see it only say 1.39. When I brought it to the register, the cashier reacted the same way, then he said "oh it has a dollarama price tag on it that's why"

Then I was at a goodwill bookstore, I heard two co-workers talking about pricing a book that was on the new racks. She told the other co worker to watch how much, there is already a value village price tag on that one.

What are some items that worth flipping on Facebook marketplace

In the new year I’m really wanting to take reselling a lot more seriously. Rn I only do local reselling and it’s dead. I mostly thrift clothing at the moment so I’m wondering for people who sell clothes what platform do you prefer (and why): eBay, Poshmark, Depop or any others?

Thanks!

I wasn't using these services as the tracking didn't work with eBay, but it looks like it does now. Has anyone else used these? Any problems?

Does anyone do exclusively local reselling? I’m currently trying to just have a local reselling platform and rn using FB Marketplace, Craigslist and VarageSale. Anyone use anything else?

Buy pop/rap tickets at pre sale and sell near the show times around summer mostly in Toronto. Take all music's big names.

Anyone done this?

VHS for $4. Ultra common DVDs for $6. Hardcover books for $10+. Insanity! Who is gonna buy this stuff?? Lmao

Hello Reddit community,
I've noticed several used car dealerships in my area that operate from their homes, even offering financing, I want to do same but after doing some research I found out that I need dealer permit but for it I need a lot and the other small scale flippers are selling easily 10 cars a moth from their profile, I'm looking for some guidance on how to get started. As they are already doing it . (Just for Educational Purpose)

It’s happening again this year (yay, 5 Tuesdays this October).

But, downside- looks like they’re only offering within Canada instead of 1 Canada 1 USA like last year? What happened?

I have a few things (electronics, appliances) that I want to get rid of and make SOME of my money back if possible, but I know they won't sell on Facebook Marketplace (similar listings have been up for months, dirt cheap, and aren't selling).

I have a printer with low ink (paid $80 on sale, now $140, buying ink put me upside down on the value lol), and a Kalorik Maxx Air Fryer (sold refurbished for like $70-$90 so it's not really worth buying a used one). I have a few other electronics (speakers, bluetooth alarm clocks) that I'd also want to get rid of.

I know there isn't much value in these things but don't want to just throw them away. Decluttering is also a priority here. Any ideas? My work schedule is so busy so it's not worth my time listing them for $20 and dealing with those "marketplace people" lol. Don't have the time or volume for a yard sale.

I'm considering pawn shops (Cash Converters? Any experiences?), but don't want to be insulted.

The local goodwill near me is hiring and I applied. Flipping is slow and need some bread and butter money. They asked me if I resell I responded with I don’t have a YouTube channel.

I have no plans on buying piles of stuff there. But I’m going to be getting to the bottom of the crazy pricing.

I'm looking to start flipping products, specifically electronics in Toronto/Canada. I know there's a market for PS5s once upon a time, and when I bought mine, the seller mentioned they use discord primarily as a marketplace. Anybody know any servers specifically for this within Canada/Toronto?

I am wondering how much does it cost to ship small stuff like ps4 games for example

I literally have leads and am able to know which products to buy for good profits but it is literally the tax to ship it to my house then to the customer that eats me. Do you guys have any specific workarounds?

I mainly want to resell movies, books and video games but whatever I find like electronics or clothing that I think can resell, I usually pick up.

Any tips for a new reseller based in montreal? Like shipping, where to buy packaging, where to source etc..
