Test All Items – Don’t get LAZY!

You might find surprises you never dreamed of…

I wanted to give you some insight to my last auction unboxing from Liquidation.com.  Whenever I get new auctions I always make sure to go through every item.  In my latest box I received the item you see in the attached picture.  Well needless to say when I opened the SteamLink controller, it was a used, battered XBOX controller that most likely didn’t work.  If I didn’t do my due diligence and open and test items, I most likely would’ve been guaranteed a negative feedback on eBay.

• Open All Items – Be sure to open all items and validate the exact item is in there, with cords, and instructions (not always needed).

• Test Items – Test the item to the best of your capability.  If you can only test for power then do it.  If you can test for power AND functionality then DO IT.  The more you’re able to test the item, then the more money you’ll be able to get.
• Learn – You will be getting items in your auctions you probably would never buy for yourself.  You will get familiar with products and how they work.  Its a learning experience.  If you’re really ambitious you might get into the world fixing items from beginner to expert. (I learned how to solder!
• Similar Items – Sometimes I run into trouble if I use sell similar in my listings, I will inherit the version details of that listing.  If i’m not careful there might be a discrepency of the version listed verses what I actually have.  Pay attention to model numbers and items you’re including.  You don’t want it to say you have the charging cord when you do not have it!

Take the time to learn your items and provide the best possible inventory for your buyers.  The more time you put in, the more money you’ll make.
