Cash Converters Singapore

Yesterday I brought my used Music CDs that I wanted to get rid off to Cash Converters at Blk 710A Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, It's at Ang Mo Kio central near the Maybank Branch.  They have a section at the side of their store that is specific to them buying stuff from customers only.

However the prices that they take in are really super low.So it you don't really need to sell your items urgently, you would probably get a better price on eBay. But if you are selling on eBay, you might find some really cheap stuff there to get stock to sell.

Cash Convertors also has a home pick up service, especially if you have big items like Plasma TVs. You can call them to come to your home and give you a quote for the item. However it may not be high price though.

They have a price list for the items that they take in and for Music CDs it's $0.30 per piece. Regardless of what the album is or how famous the singer was. LOL.And has to be in working condition.

They are quite particular though. It has to have a certified for distribution in Singapore sticker. If not they will not accepted it. Especially for DVDs, as it's something to do about viewership.

I guess if I sold my Music CDs on Ebay I would have gotten more money for the Albums. However I needed to get rid of them urgently. Gonna move house soon and don't wish to be lugging so much useless stuff to the new place. Glad that the bulk load of them are gone now and there's a little more space in my room for stuff now. So I can continue with my packing.Right now I just need space in my room.

Cheers!

Terapeak eBay Statistics Research

I have to say that I absolutely love this function of using Terapeak's eBay Stats Research!

I can use this search function to help increase my sales, the search results actually shows me the Keywords that are most searched for in the particular item that I am selling. Which format best suits the item to be listed. Which day that has the most sales. It also displays the items that the Top Sellers are selling. Gives me an average price of the items sold. Also the Shipping price on an average.

I subscribed to it for USD 39.95 a month and added hot products for USD 6.95 per month.

It's so worth it! Now I know which are the products that buyers are looking for, I can look for the product and sell it on eBay. Amazing! So Blessed!

Merchant Run Global Link

I tried setting up a Merchant Run Global Link account and tried posting up some of my products.

The templates that they offered were really awesome. However, the time taken to load the products description and clicking to the next pages were time consuming.

I've decided to stick to the turbo lister that ebay provides for free. It's much easier to use as most required fields can be located on ONE display page.

Hassle free.
Easy to relist.
Easy to use html functions.
I can copy and paste some html scripts for the templates and save it there to use in the future.

I was excited when I saw the tutorials for Merchant run Global Link and how I can easily connect my products to the 21 ebay sites. But the loading time takes so long that it gets frustrating and I would spend half a day to upload it. I gave up after a week.

Perhaps if they could put all the required fields including uploading of images on ONE page. That would be great. Just a thought.

Anyone know of any good listing services such as these. Please PM me.

Cheers!
