I sold the last of my FO generals. Days after its TRU debut.@Exciter1 said dump, so I dumped. Maybe a lot of people didn't know he was around? Bulk orders at $10 a piece, and a single for $12.
Also sold six TC-14s for $33 each.
TC-4 for $13
A few A wing pilots for $12 each
And 20x Cpt America Polys for $4.75 each.

Did you eBay it or go with BrickLink?

Mostly BL. I do both.

If this site still did badges like it used to, you would have earned the "Made profit on Exo Suits badge".

There was a "earn 6% ebay bucks on everything you sell promo" 2 weeks ago (or was it 4%, not sure). Might have been that?

I got the same in my overview just now, unfortunately not as much as you did by a few orders of magnitude.

Yeah sounds about right. (incase that looks like kingpin material, not a normal volume month for me.)

I was too busy to get much listed during the promotion but I did earn $57.  I would like to see more offers like this from eBay.  The "hot items" promo last Nov-Dec was also pretty solid.

Yes, though I think best for me are the seller fee waiver/caps. Keeps me more honest. The eBay Bucks feels like play money to blow. Even so I can resist, am looking for the best target to reinvest that.

my Amazon undercutting was "undercutting most of you", I rarely go for lowest price as it usually sells and money is left on the table

Yeah. I think under-cutting is primarily a newb mistake. I undercutted a lot when I first start selling on BL. But I soon realized that people were buying listings more expensive than mine, despite my low prices.
Undercutting can have its place in certain situations. But as a strategy, it's incredibly flawed.

For some that are inexperienced, what is the reasoning behind someone picking more expensive listings? Reasons I can think of

1. Feedback level

2 Shipping speed

3. Better looking pictures???

4. Better placement on Ebay's search list
