 I'm gonna sleep on it and hopefully I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and have an aha moment and Report back to you all that the mystery has been solved Amazing right all right, let's get started Hey, hello, buddies. Thanks for watching. All right in this video I'm gonna tell you how I did not use a product that I tell you guys to use and I undersold it Yep, so This right here this item. I Purchased this at and it was like a garage sale slash estate Clean out they were it was just a family owned thing and I bought a ton of crafters items And this little pez dispenser was in the lot and I was like, oh no feet looks vintage. I'll just throw that in my pile Didn't think too much of it So, um, I Didn't look it up on worth point. Here's what I did do. I looked it up on eBay and there was one currently listed for a hundred and seventy five dollars Here are the solds and this one here is mine And this is the only other one that was listed when I put in the keywords so I'm like, I'm just gonna do an auction and I'm gonna start my auction at forty nine dollars and ninety nine cents And if it's worth a hundred and seventy five dollars It's gonna get a bunch of bids, right? Well, you can see here. It only got three bids and went up to fifty two dollars What should I have done? I? Should have went to worth point and I should have searched first off I searched pez dispenser elephant teal and you can see right here is one that sold for two hundred and thirty four dollars and thirty seven cents. I Also searched pez dispenser. Let's see Orange elephant and these two popped up So, you know, it depends on what the person listing the item puts as keywords in their title So I found this one that sold for a hundred eighty two fifty and this one that sold for a hundred and seventy two fifty, so I Kind of undersold it now. I will say that when I was listing the item it kind of popped out and I'm not a hundred percent sure see how the spring is is that how it's supposed to look What I should have done is went and bought a cheapy pez dispenser put the pez in there and see if it worked so what I put in the Condition here, not sure if it works. Please see all photos sold as seen so I was kind of taking the lazy road and I Didn't test it. So I wasn't sure if it was broken or not my mistakes in this and I'm gonna show you the worth point price guide when we're done here But first mistake was I didn't check worth point I saw that there was a high sold on eBay But there was only one that should have been a good indicator that I need to go to worth point I need to look this item up So messed up there Mess up number two is I was lazy. I should have just next time. I was at the grocery store I should have grabbed a cheap pez or Even ordered one online and tested this thing because if it was in working order, I Probably could have sold it for close to two hundred dollars So I really messed this one up guys, let's talk about worth point I've told you guys before that I really love worth point, but I didn't I didn't do a good job this time So how much is worth point? I put off getting worth point for a long time because I thought it was kind of pricey and I still think it's kind of pricey But in this case I sold my item for fifty two dollars instead of close to two hundred So it would have definitely paid for itself in this situation Uh, there is a free uh seven days seven lookups. So it's either seven days or seven lookups I will tell you that seven lookups is not much, but it will give you an idea of how to use the site Uh, let's see if you want, uh, the price guide premium That's the one I have that's access to price guide buy and sell with confidence store unlimited items in the vault I'm not sure what that means Get unlimited worth Score insights for all of your vault items. I don't know what those features are. I've never used them I basically use it to search comps I do pay for the two hundred and forty nine ninety nine a year when I signed up It was a hundred and ninety nine ninety nine a year I don't know if i'm grandfathered into that or not But you will save over twenty percent by paying for the year If not, you can pay twenty six dollars and ninety nine cents a month So if you just want to try it and see if you really use it do the monthly Um, but if you're sure you're going to use it do the yearly because you're going to save money Now marks and library. I have not used to this if you just want this just the marks and library I don't think you can search solds with that. This is just to identify and authenticate Using our comprehensive visual database research and discover through our digital library Store unlimited items in the vault. Again. I don't know what the vault is That is two hundred and fifty six ninety nine for the year or twenty five ninety nine a month So i'm guessing this is like for you know, when you flip a piece of pottery over and it's got a symbol on it or a logo or a brand I'm guessing this is going to help you with that possibly jewelry If anybody knows for sure, please let me know in the comments because again, I've never used this this feature Now if you want access to both of these you can pay forty two ninety nine a month Or four hundred and thirty nine ninety nine a year And these it looks like you save over fifteen percent by doing the whole year It says access to price guide access to MAPS maps gallery and access to library So you have to figure out what is worth it to you. Do I think worth point is worth it? Absolutely Worth point is definitely worth it. Did I mess up this time? I most certainly did So, um, I just wanted to share this experience with you guys to let you know To use those tools you have if you have worth point make sure you're using it Don't be like me. And if you don't have worth point, this is a good example of why you should have worth point But um, again, no pressure to to join It's definitely a pricey thing. It is a business expense that you have to decide is it worth it For me, it's worth it. Uh, if you would like to check out worth point There is a link down in the description of the video that will take you directly to their website and you can check out that price guide Okay, so I started this video and I knew that the item was not in the bin Or the tote that I had logged it as but I felt pretty confident. I was going to be able to find this item So let's just add to my list of mistakes. Um, I have looked for this thing for over an hour I'm going to show you how I typically find my items that are not Where they say they are I can usually figure it out and I'm going to show you how I do that Unfortunately, it did not work this time. So I'm not sure I Was listing in my laundry room and I'm like, okay, let's look in the laundry room So I searched I looked like under the washing machine and move the dryer around in case it like slid off not there um, I was working on a Bag of stuff that I purchased from auctions for you So I dumped that out and searched through there because I did the video and then I threw everything back in the bag So I'm like, maybe I just grabbed it and I'm like, come on be there no um I was also working on a goodwill bins haul And I'm like, maybe I threw it in there. So I dumped that bag out. Nope, not there. So I'm exhausted. I'm feel defeated. I'm really upset. Um, I don't lose a lot of items I can like I said usually find them. So let me show you my method of How I look for it and then I'll let you know What I plan to do next I have emailed the buyer and just kind of going through the motions of What's next? So we'll talk about that after I show you how to find an item or a good way to inventory your stuff So that if this happens to you, you can find the item And I'll also also show you my system For inventory, which it failed me this time. So, um, okay So I first off here is the pes dispenser. And if you look right here, I go in and I look at the start time I started this auction on September 1st, 2022. So if, um, I go into my custom skew here, these are my active listings I can see What tote everything is in so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to the start date and I am going to look for September 1st So I'm going to scroll scroll all the way down until I get to September 1st Now my notes say that this should be in tote 11. Okay um Let's get down here to September 1st Scroll in. Sorry. Sorry. Uh, we're at the fourth Okay, so I listed plush that day. So those are in plush tote 11 And I did check that tote as well just to make sure maybe I didn't just like Accidentally drop it in there when I was putting the plush in there. It was not there. I mean, I have looked everywhere So August 30th. I was still in tote 11 Um, I know it's not in tote 11. I've looked I I think three or four times now So what I did is I continued to go back to the two totes that I put things in before that and that was tote 35 So before that was 35 and there's a whole bunch of stuff and then I went to the tote after which was tote eight And It is not and either of those totes and I'm not kidding you. I I checked them three or four times just thinking like I'm overlooking it. It's got to be here I just don't understand where it could have gone So that is how I find it. I put in my custom skew which tote the item is in when I list it But I remember I listed the pes dispenser Kind of with some other items and I probably just sat it to the side and then didn't put it where I said I was going to put it completely my fault Um, but again, September 1st shows me that it should be in tote 11 And that is what my notes say in the custom skew, which you can't see right here Um, so what did I do? I uh reached out to the buyer and right now current time I'm gonna sleep on it. I'm not canceling the order yet. I want to find the item number one She wants the item for her collection number two. I don't want to defect on my account Um, as I mentioned earlier in the video I undersold it, but did I um when I reached out to her I told her I said I think the items broken, but I'm not a hundred percent sure There's this little metal piece as you can see in the photo and I disclose this in the listing but um I said, I'm I'm not sure if it's broken if you did not see that and you don't want the item I would be happy to stop looking for it and she said it is broken. So that does devalue the item um So probably the price point that I got for it was accurate Um, now could my husband have fixed it? Maybe should I have still bought pez and tested it? Probably but um, I feel a little better that it was broken, but I feel awful that I can't find the item So I told her I'm going to so she said yes, it is broken. She knew that she wants it for her collection If I could keep looking for it great. If not, she understands. So I'm gonna sleep on it I I feel like I have just exhausted every avenue. I don't know where else to look if anybody has any ideas In the comments, let me know I have a friend um that sells on ebay and she's a huge has a huge store and I messaged her and she's like check here Check here check here and I messaged my friend, uh, chrissa chosen goods reseller actually called her. I'm like, I don't know what to do I'm panicking. I can't find this item um, because like I said my method usually works I can usually find the item um with that with that little trick I showed you inventory trick, but um It's it's just gone. I don't know. I don't know where it is. So I messaged the buyer back and I said Okay, I'm gonna sleep on it think about tomorrow Where like maybe some other places I could look but I really don't know where else to look I mean, it's not going to be in a random tote that I haven't touched for You know six months other than to pull inventory out of it. So there's no sense in really checking those um I don't know. I hope it didn't like get switched away with my donation pile or something like that I don't know but I told her that if I do have to cancel I will be sure to reach out to her first if I find the item and What I'll do is I'll go to my messages. I will tell her that I found the item So I wanted to come on here. I wanted to be transparent about the situation I had already recorded the part about not doing my research right on worth point and talking about the different scenarios of how I could have done better with this, but then this happened and I'm like, you know what it's a Another teaching moment. So Here I am I messed up. So I wanted to share that with you guys and Again, if you can think of any place that I should look that maybe I haven't looked All right, you guys, there's going to be some videos popping up here and here and a join and another video down below This is not typical. This is not something that happens very often. So thank you for being here Thank you for watching and let me know if this has ever happened to you. Thanks for watching You
