Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

I would and do, when possible. I had a chick ask if I could reserve a shirt for her until she can afford it. (common thing on etsy) Which I did, but I also sent her a link to the listing here and told her she can get it 20% cheaper on defunkd.

Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

Nope. 20 cents includes the pics. But you're limited to 5. That's usually enough, but sometimes I wish I could add a sixth.

Re: HE-Man Masters of Universe Changes Tag?

Can anyone find any info on changes? I tried a google search without luck, but I didn't dig very deep.

If it matters here was the Batman tee. I hope it was eighties. I'll feel bad if it wasn't:

Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

I do that. I've just started listing on defunkd first and putting it on etsy second. That way when someone is using google to try to buy an eighties Minnesota shirt (hey, it could happen) they will be directed first to defunkd. In the off chance that an item gets purchased from both sites before I c...

Re: HE-Man Masters of Universe Changes Tag?

I had a Batman with an '89 copyright on it. I don't know though if that was a true date of production or if it's similar to the Snoopy tees and it's the last time the copyright was renewed, or whatever. The graphic was. Totally 80s though- with some "punk rockers" on it.

Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

Oh, I was just checking out your blog and I noticed an entry from a few months ago about not wanting to ship outside the US. If I could give you one piece of advise it's get rid of that. My best customers are from Malaysia and Thailand. If it wasn't for them I would have to get a job. PS. I love you...

Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

I'm going to use my etsy shop for examples in answering your questions, just because it has a built-in customer base that the defunkd store doesn't have- YET. How long do you usually sit on a $10-$20 shirt before it sells? It all depends on the shirt. If it's something that the hipsters will love, l...

Oh, when I say:

"But the best advise I can give is to not waste your time and money with those."

I don't mean don't waste your time with those tees. I mean don't waste your time and money listing them auction style on ebay.

Re: All right, I need some advice on how to maximize my profits.

Hey, Johnny! I'm pretty new to resale myself (about a year in), but I feel like I've found my groove recently. When I first started (I don't know how long you've been at it) I kind of fooled myself seeing the prices on some of the hardcore sellers' ebay listings. And I also wondered why my auctions ...
