That's when somebody sends me a gift and this was a mystery box And I am gonna unbox it and it was jam packed full of items. I love to sell So it's a really fun box. I'm gonna show you everything in it and I'm gonna pop up Screenshots of how I listed everything in that box. So we're gonna keep this educational also a couple items have already sold One of the items sold for 40 dollars So super excited to share that box with you guys at the end of the video So right now we're just gonna talk a little bit about this. I Am not like a charts and graphs type person. I'm just gonna kind of share with you my experience So there was this one day And I forgot to turn on my ebay sale And I sold something for full price And I was so excited and I'm like Maybe my sale price is too Much maybe I'm scaring people off by having such a deep discount. I typically run sales at 35% off or 38% off So I started thinking maybe I should try some different percentiles Especially right now things are kind of slow. It'd be a good time to experiment and um The reason things are slow is because I'm not listing as much as I should be But one thing I will tell you that I have learned recently is When you list You make sales. So let me give you an example yesterday morning I listed a bunch of items and by that evening I shipped in the evening by that night before I was going to bed I had five additional sales that were ready to ship Okay, we're talking sales have been like But it's my fault. It is my fault. I take full responsibility I'm doing youtube videos. I'm doing whatnot. I'm everywhere everywhere, but listing on ebay So what do I need to be doing? I need to be listing on ebay because what happens when you list you have more sales so With this experiment, there's also that not listing and then listing and all of that that comes into play also So when I changed my sale, I tried multiple different things. Uh, I did 15% off. I think I did a 10% off. I think I did an 18% off And what I found was I was still making sales every day No matter what percent off I did so There is that When you have less off You make more money and I will also tell you that People were not making me offers. They were just buying it at my sale price Which most of the time people make me offer so it seems like when I have that deeper discount sale I get a more offers When I did 15% 18% off People were just buying it. I also sold a couple items that were over 10 years old When I was running the 18 18% off sale when they were much cheaper at the 35% off sale So I don't know if it was just like a timing issue Or maybe the 35% off sale on those pants made them seem like they were too cheap And that made somebody scared to buy it I don't know. Uh, so I have no Answer for you guys. I was hoping to come back and say I'm gonna start running this sale and I'm going to start doing this differently and I went back to my 35% off and then But I listed that day. So I listed yesterday Put the 35% back on and had the sales So listing And the higher sale probably both of them had a little bit to do with having five sales and like, I don't know two or three hours Because that has not been happening to me lately Now also summer slowdown. I feel like August going into September. We're just going to start to see More increases now, you know, our sales are going to start to pick up So this is a good time to start listing every day and I need to set that goal of Maybe not every day but trying to be more productive on ebay getting more items up. Okay So that was my experiment. I don't know if that was helpful at all Uh, if You guys play around with your sales. Let me know. I do think running a sale is important. Okay, so here's a little Tip and I was talking to somebody about this the other day And they I think they said they ran their month for an entire month, uh, like month their sale for an entire month One thing that I do recommend And that would be running your sale for three days And then switching the percentage For another three days or however you want to do it two days five days four days six days, however you want to do it but have Multiple sales in a week because when your item is getting ready to the sale is getting ready to end I'm pretty sure ebay will send out notifications to people I do see a spike in sales when my sale is ending that may only be one or two, but hey one or two is one or two um So yeah, something to think about if you're doing long sales like six months sales Think about chopping it up and see if you get an increase on the days that your sale ends So nothing super conclusive about the sales other than when you uh increase your sale you make less And you make more if you run a sale that is not as high of a percentage. So that's what I learned So many variables I feel like I would have to do this for months and months and months to really get a definite answer for you guys but I made sales every day regardless of what my sale price was I made more when my sale was less on the item, but I may not have sold as much I am going back to the bigger percentage. So That's what my final decision is. What would you guys do? What do you think has anyone tried this if you try it? Let me know what your results are and If you want to see a lot of videos about statistics and different things like that Check out amber resells. She has an amazing youtube channel and she is very analytical And she will break down numbers for you on all kinds of things And you will definitely learn me on the other hand I'm not analytical. I'm not a charts and graphs. I give my stuff to my accountant. I just know If I made money, I'm happy. So, um, thanks for being here. Thanks for watching and I'll see you at the next one
