Collecting/Buy and sell on Lastdodo25 messages

I have a question for my fellow salespeople.

How do you experience selling on Lastdodo?

I have spent quite a bit of time listing a few hundred articles, but nothing at all happens.

Is it so quiet with you? And in which section do you trade?

I trade in:
- Model trains
- Books
- Comic books

The reason for this question is simple, nothing is being sold, is it still worthwhile to put time into this?

And is the lastdodo marketed sufficiently? Or will that still come?

Greetings, Mischa

I mainly sell books and comics, with over 500 items in my shop at the moment. Purely as a hobby, I receive no more than 10 orders a year. Recently for a few pricey books that have been in my shop for 10 years. So it is a matter of patience, but as a Pro seller you should also know that you will not make any sales with a store stock of 236 items. The more offer, the more people will find your shop.

Of course your success also depends on how sought after the items on offer are, whether they are offered more often, how attractive your prices are and whether items can be combined to save postage. For some objects it is really a “race to the bottom Because everyone wants to be the cheapest. I have not looked in your shop (I don't know anything about model trains) so that is a general observation.

Adding new items to the catalog yourself is labor-intensive, and you rarely earn that time back. If you sell stuff that is already there (and you don't add your own photos), the investment is still manageable.

But if you are working professionally, the answer to your question is simple: no, if you do not sell anything, it is not worthwhile to put in the time.

Hallo,

Je moet er vanuit gaan dat je bij  Verkopen op Verkoop Site´s met stevige Konkurentie temaken hebt (zitten ook veel Handelaren tussen) vooral als het geen Zeldzame Objecten zijn als extra moet Kopen om te Verkopen,

Moeilijk de prijzen staan sterk onder druk omdat zoals ik  velen Verzamelaars  met Pension zijn hun leven lang verzamelt hebben de Kinder en Kleinkinder geen Interessen ze gaan kleiner wonen of de Poen is toch minder dan gedacht hebben die Verkopen dan vaak onder de Prijs

Ik heb bijv vanaf 1959 Verzamelt zit op een berg boeken van ca 4000 Stuk Strips ca 15.000 dan nog Dinky , Gin enz

Verkoop op ca 5 verschillende Koop Site´s met meer of minder succes mijn laatste bestelling bij Cata/Dodo is lang geleden en die heeft nog niet eens betaald daarop mijn Shop minimeert 

Je moet het gewoon als Hobby zien als je er niet echt van moet leven als er of en toe een lekker Diner of een dagje weg overblijft is dat leuk en je hebt meer plaats in Huis ;-) ik steek er ongeveer 2 tot 3 uur per dag in 

Koop ook vaak weer iets van de opbrengst heb me namelijk toegelegt op Franquin en dan eerste drukken in zeer goed tot nieuwstaat. de rest gaat weg

De wat Verkopen Jullie wat een tijd geleden goed liep,

Penthouse, Playboy Men Only in het Engels alles weg

Oude Kookboeken kreegje  voor een speciaal Boek soms om de 80€ nu mag je blij zijn als je er 10€ voor krijgt 

dan Strips onder de prijs anders loopt niets en oude Boeken voor 1940 vooral Detectiven gaat nog goed Modernen boeken je ziet de Schlechte is bijna nergens meer te ontdekken en daar schriken de Porto kosten af Boek 1€ past niet door de bus Porto 6€ koopt niemand

Succes Peter

Hello,

You should assume that you are dealing with stiff Competition when selling on Selling Sites (there are also many Traders among them) especially if they are not Rare Objects as an extra Buy to Sell,

Difficult the prices are under strong pressure because, like me, many Collectors with Pension have been collecting all their lives, the Kinder and Grandchildren have no Interests, they are going to live smaller or the money is less than expected, they often sell below the Price

For example, I have collected from 1959 on a mountain of books of approx. 4000 pieces of comics, approx. 15,000, then Dinky, Gin, etc.

Selling on about 5 different Buying Sites with more or less success my last order with Cata/Dodo was a long time ago and it hasn't even paid yet my Shop is minimizing it

You just have to see it as a hobby if you don't really have to make a living from it. If there is a nice dinner or a day out now and then, that's nice and you have more room in the house ;-) I spend about 2 to 3 hours a day on it day into

Also often buy something from the proceeds, because I have focused on Franquin and then first printings in very good to new condition. the rest go away

The what do you sell that went well a while ago,

Penthouse, Playboy Men Only in English all gone

You used to get old cookbooks for a special book, sometimes for €80, now you can be happy if you get €10 for it

then Comics are below the price otherwise nothing and old Books before 1940 especially Detectives are still going well Modern books you see the Schlecht is almost nowhere to be discovered and the Postage costs scare off Book 1 € does not fit the bus Porto 6 € nobody buys

Good luck Peter

I agree in vision with the previous 2 experienced speakers. It doesn't matter where you put a collection for sale. Lastdodo shops, if collectors are hopefully used to the name instead of the trusted Catawiki, are also fun to view. Listing something at an internet auction (it's not supposed to advertise any company) and it's accepted by the auction always sells ... crazy enough. Whether the price will be to the satisfaction of a seller aside, but there are always bidders. In LD shops you can really find beautiful things in all sorts of areas, but I also don't hear anyone who says that it sells like a charm. Even though you have a huge range of booklets for 2, 3 or 5 euros. I don't think that the better marketing of LD will help. Old books or curiosities who are still looking for something, very few seekers and very many providers. Take a look at bookstores, I have (almost) to do with professionals with 20 30,000 books or more. 95% will go to waste paper in due course. In short, enjoy what you have and cherish an occasional satisfied buyer. Just on the way to Belgium for 1.50 a nice old children's book ....

Thanks everyone for the input! I really appreciate that information is provided in this way.

I hope the Lastdodo will be a success, and will still be here often.
