I am SCOTT13A or SCOTTY and this is my Selling Page. Here I talk about some of the items that I am listing on auction websites such as Ebay and Ecrater. I have listed below the types of items that I frequently sell. Those pages will have descriptions and links to individual auctions. There are pictures too. Each category page opens up into a new browser window or tab. Each page within a category opens in the same window or tab unless the user (you all) right clicks to open it into a new page or tab.
While I sell on different sites, I don't double list. I don't list the same item on two different sites at the same time unless i havve multiple copies of the item. Not intentionally anyway - accidents do happen. I haven't made that particular accident. I keep my inventory that is listed on one site separate from inventory that is listed on a different site. For example, I have have separate shelves for Ebay and Ecrater online auction sites. If you see me list the same item on two or more sites, it means that I have two or more sets of items. For example, I listed four quantity of a certain model of puzzle cubes on two different sites. I had eight of them total; so there was no conflict. I allocated four to each site. I don't have to cancel auctions on one site when I sell on a different site because I have coverage for both.
I may have the same item at slightly different prices on different sites as my seller fees vary from site to site. For example, the fees that I am charged as a seller are much lower at ECRATER than at EBAY; so I may or may not have slightly cheaper prices on the same items there. I will list on the more expensive sites because I have more potential buyers. Low selling fees don't help me if I can't sell my item. Profit per item multiplied by number of items sold equals zero if I don't sell anything.
Please check out what I have to sell below. They are arranged by item classification or category. I will have several different sites featuring items in a given category. I have dinosaur toys, puzzle cubes, die-cast metal toy cars, vintage plastic toy animals (zoo, farm, sea life, etc), antique skeleton keys and vintage flat keys, political button pins, army men, spinner toys, sea shells, old coins, arrow heads and civil war bullets (Under historical artifacts category) and more.
I also have a Collector Special category. I have auctions which feature a mix of low price items from different categories. An auction may have five or ten different categories of items. I collect a lot of different things. I am sure that some of you do too. Below is an example of an auction I might set up.
I may put together an auction with 2 indian head pennies, 2 skeleton keys, a pez dispenser, 2 indian arrow heads, 3 civil war bullets, 3 political button pins and five small sea shells. Usually I will price the auction in the $30 - $35 range. This is for someone who likes to collect things but doesn't want to spend too much money in any given area. It gives them exposure to areas where they are interested but may not have bought anything before. Also they might not have much knowledge of a certain area. They don't have to put down a lot of money on something that is new or unfamiliar to them.
This isn't a static pile of information here. It is fluid and dynamic. What I have available for sale will be constantly changing. Check out the categories below. Most categories have items at multiple sales sites.

Here is where I talk about selling and issues related to selling or to me as a seller. My interpretation of things.

I collect a lot of things and have a webpage for my collections. I sell a lot of the same type item that I collect such as plastic dinosaur figures and puzzle cubes. However, the ones in my collection are separate from the ones that I have for sale. None of my collection is for sale, and nothing for sale is in my collection. I have a separate website which covers my collections. I provide a link to it below.
As someone who is trying to develop a business, I find that there are a lot of stupid things (usually people) that get in the way of that effort. I am not going to get deep into that right now. I will only mention that I have little gripe with Ali Express. They don't know I have a gripe with them because it is impossible to reach a real person to complain or get help. That is part of my gripe. You can't communicate with these bozos. They have insulated themselves from dealing with people. I won't go into detail here. Later I will. I will complain about other things too, such as google auto changing my search terms. But now, I will just leave you with a picture dealing with my issues with Ali Express.
I'm a thumbnail.
Of course Ebay's customer service sucks too - just a little less than Ali Express. I think this is based more on greed and hubris in Ebay leadership rather than outright deceit and disrespect for customers like that exuded by AliExpress. I will not go into that here. When I do go into it, there will be a separate section for it. Once you get me talking, I can't stop and I don't want to fill up this happy page with too much talk about reality.
