For me to list different items after much practice takes about 3mins per listing and that is with everything prepared before hand. So long as I do not get hypnotized and loose concentration and end up in a white out. lol
To list 100 1d red KGVs separately with only an image and ID number change takes about 1.5 mins per listing. The scanning takes about the same time.
A $1,000 a week is a big ask if you can list only 250 lots per week and anything that is over $9.99 is slow. Items under $5 do well. Single high values or letter rate sets do well at 99c up to $4.99.
I have just won an Australian stamp for $950 all up outside Aussie. This stamp will sell for well over $2,000 in OZ but not on
ebay even though it has a certificate. The best bricks and mortar auction will get this stamp if I sell it. So Australia sells well in OZ but not outside OZ. So USA sells in the USA etc.
As I list with .com the listing at no extra cost is on .com.au as well. 95% of sales come from OZ even though it is in a .com store.I only sell OZ stamps. I will not pay 10c for the listing to reach the UK because I am not selling UK stamps.
Less work and more profit is my aim now. I have an amount of funds saved over the last year and I am now looking for big ticket items outside OZ and not on
ebay type auctions but I will never sell these items on
ebay but only at bricks and mortar top selling auctions in OZ. But this type of selling still has to be proven that what I think is correct, is correct. And heaps more home work is needed before I will make a final decision.
Hope this helps. KGV.
