Before I buy something I figure in cost of item, ebay fees and selling range to see what my margin is going to be. Some times you do not make as much money as you thought you could. then it is get rid of it and move on..
Lately with the hoard of stuff I have accumulated it is I wana get rid of it...so I do not quibble over a coupla buxs. I take my profit KCHING and run..next item..
If I could make the same ROI on all my investments as I do on Ebay I would not be sitting here talking you ESPECIALLY WELL EDUCATED FELLAS...

I have been using FB Marketplace. For more valuable items you can spend a few dollars to create an actual ad/sponsored post to get more exposure to your listing.

Fact is, shipping costs determine the sale price. If you can not ship cheaply people will not buy. Big companies do not pay the same as an individual for shipping so they have an advantage over the hobby seller.
