If You Live In California, Are Honest and Have a Car This May Be For You
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I buy smaller electronics, clothing, smaller household goods, and mostly vintage items in California, but I am not local. If you live in another major city, you can also message me about this work. I need a reliable partner on the ground who can pick up items at one location near their home 1-3 times per week, also take great pictures and write good descriptions of each item and then those to me via email. I then need you to ship out items within 3 days after I sell them.
I currently do this and have all items shipped to me, but due to the high shipping cost, it kills most of my profit. Despite this I have been doing this for many years as I enjoy reselling.
I have tried this one time with someone in California 2 years ago, but he was unfortunately slow, late with shipping and was very sloppy. I take this work very seriously, if you´re not up to it than please do not make a bid. I hate when another person waste my time. No excuses like "I thought I had more free time" or "I thought i would earn more money" because I am very honest upfront with how much you will probably earn and how much work is needed.
You will not get rich with this job, reselling is more fun than making thousands. You won´t be earning $20 per hour. You will get bored with taking pictures and writing descriptions. And in the beginning we will start small, for the first 3-6 months it will probably not be worth your time until I can trust you 110% because if you start slacking, I get bad feedback, lose money and I am the person who will suffer.
In short this is how it will work.
1. I will win 5-25 items at an auction house near where you live when I know you have time to pick the items up when the auction house requires it to be done.
2. You will go and pick the items up. I will only bid on auction houses within 10 miles or 25 miles or 5 miles from your home, whatever you would like.
3. You will take pictures, write short description and condition for each item, upload those to google and send them to me.
4. I will list them on my ebay account. I have sold on ebay since 2002 and am pretty good at getting the best price possible, something that comes from experience.
5. When an item sells, I will send you the buyers address and the item number, and you will ship it out within 3 days.
6. I will give you this option: I give you x% of how much I pay for the items, or you will receive x% of the amount I sell each item for. (I will also pay shipping - and for the items of course).
7. Again, we will start very small, for example $50 each month for 3 months. So you won´t be picking much up the first 3-6 months and will not have much to do. Maybe just taking many pictures if i happen to buy something like 50 vintage cigars for $10....And we will keep in touch often, and I hate to even say this but there are a lot of dishonest bad people looking to take advantage of a situation like this, and I am aware of that. Whether someone takes $5 from me or $500 from me, I will not let that go, so I will do my due diligence in case you decide to steal the inventory and I have to make any type of police report and further legal action.
I hope this finds someone who is reliable and honest and could use a little pocket change. We either succeed together or not, in the beginning earnings will be slow but if you do your job right than in the future you can earn very well because at that time you and I will be 50-50 partners.
With that said, please send me a message after bidding on this item with the city you live in (I am looking for someone in a larger city). Let me know if there are nay particular days you do not have time to pick things up, for example you will have to send me your normal work hours at your regular job in advance so I know what days you are free.
Please be patient as I assume a few people will write me. I´m not going to pick someone in a day, I will be as careful as I can be.
