I think it depends on your area. There’s apps like offer up and sites like Craigslist, and nextdoor. Mercari is apparently popular for apparel. Then there’s sites like gumtree that are popular in other countries than the u.s. Unfortunately marketplace and eBay reign supreme for general merchandise but I still try to list on Craigslist but haven’t gotten any sales on there in a long time.

It’s highly recommended that you sell small items anyway. I’ve sold 6 CD’s and a cassette tape this month. Some graphics cards, a motherboard, handheld game system that I repaired, etc. I have a small shelf with my inventory on it. I rarely do larger items, but I think I can sell the dresser in a day or two if it doesn’t work well in my space.

If you have a hobby like video games or card collecting you can buy collections and resell what you don’t want she keep what you do or sell games after you’re done with them. It’s fully scalable so you can put in as much or as little time as you want and pause your listings if you decide to go on vacation.

I created [email protected] as I resell as a hobby on eBay and marketplace. It’s a good way to clear out stuff that you don’t want or need and fuel your hobbies. I think it’s pretty funny that the other user says that reselling is gross and goes on to explain that they buy and resell things for a profit.

I’m going out to the middle of bfe this morning to pick up some stuff I won through an online estate auction. I got a dresser for $1. I might keep it I might sell it for a profit. Nobody else wanted it and I’m saving the family the hassle of having to throw it away somehow and someone else might be really happy to have it after I clean it up.

From my collection.

I’m constantly getting down votes because of the community topic. I’m making sure that it’s not someone habitually downvoting. If it were then I would refer it to the admins. People think flipping = scalping so ancaps and others kneejerk downvote. I fixed some broken consoles this weekend and now I’m going to re-sell them, but they don’t understand that. Just like someone downvoted me for using an llm as a search engine to learn how to so something new.

Except that I wrote most of it first and had to fix problems myself because it was buggy as hell. It really only gave me the jq urI part.

Holy moley that is a big script! I’m having a hard time finding anything about alternate mode. I would like to find more ways to automate my workflow as listing is the most work in flipping and most people have a “death pile” because listing takes so long. I already have synching syncing photos from my phone to PC because listing from the app takes so long. I haven’t actually been able to use the photos because they render as a solid color in my browser, this might be a browser issue. I might have to use chromium instead. I also created a simple script to open several tabs when I go to print labels and ship because opening multiple bookmarks in librewolf is a lot of clicks so I can now just use a hotkey instead. In the past I created a similar script to search my local stores from closest to farthest when I needed to buy something. Then I could price compare before leaving the house and know exactly what I wanted when I got there.

Thanks for the input!

You downvoted me for posting a bash script, I guess I know why now. Vote count does matter a little bit because you’re pushing someone’s post down so others can’t see it. Kind of a bummer when I’m just trying to grow a small community and share with people.

Thanks! Will do. I added a little bit about sell through rate under the comps section too.

I also mod. [email protected] There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.

Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.

Feel free to visit. [email protected] a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.

It does put a target on the back of any political operative using them to spread misinfo or stirring the pot. In fact it opens the door for ai bans.

Type in credentials and click “are you human” then I get “pick all objects that fit in a basket” after that it’s “please enter the code we just sent”

I just never bothered with the screws, some cables even came without them.

Some smart person at the airlines finally jumped on their chance to ban nail clippers in airports and planes. The real reason is because nasty people would clip their nails in the airport and on planes.

How can they say you need all these years experience if the exec is so young. It didn’t make any sense.

His dad worked there as an executive.

I created a new community,

It’s going okish, getting some hate because some people don’t understand the difference between online sellers and scalpers.
