Scotty hasn't been able to provide his audience with any shopping tips in the last few days as the quality of second hand items has been very poor. However, Scotty did manage to travel to Savers in the hope that he would find something of interest to replenish his fast diminishing Ebay stockpile and keep his fans happy.
As usual, Scottys first stop was the cabinet which revealed some interesting items. Firstly, a Louis Vuitton bag. Scotty has had his fair share of listing LV bags over the past 2 1/2 years and has come to the conclusion that they are not worth the trouble. Whilst the majority of LV bags available at charity stores are imitations, it is possible to acquire an original LV bag provided you know the intricacies of how to identify one. Scotty recommends that people visit My Poupette for more information on identifying an original LV bag from an imitation.
Secondly, hidden away in the cabinet, in its original 60's pink checkered box, was the silver Italian tea set Scotty wrote about in Part 1 of his travels. Scotty was glad the tea set was tucked away because he is waiting for the price to be reduced from $129.00. Scotty would pay no higher than $70.00 for this set if he were to re-sell it on Ebay and knows that eventually Savers will reduce the item in order to dispose of it. There were pieces of another Italian tea set in a plastic bag however Scotty recommends that for resale purposes, a full set with original box is a far better acquisition.
As Spring is fast approaching in Australia, Scotty suggests that all winter garments be listed as soon as possible. By pure coincidence Scotty found an Alannah Hill faux fur
jacket for $80.00AU. Whilst Scotty thought the jacket looked as if it were only good for lining his sleeping bag, he knew that this brand was popular on Ebay. However, the price Ebayers are prepared to pay for an Alannah Hill item has reduced considerably over time as every man and his dog (no pun intended) is selling the brand. In order for Ebayers to make a profit on this jacket, Scotty thinks a fair price to pay would be $30.00.
Unfortunately Scotty left empty pawed on this shopping trip.

Love your blogs becuase they are helpfull and informative. Good read and you make sense with your idea about the 10 day listing. I'll make sure that I go for the 10 and forget the mid week auctions. I've been in the same position when a listing was ending and I was at work and could not make a bid. Usually, I would just forget unless I was on the computer on a sunday night for instance. I am about to list some items myself and now I will be careful to make sure that I don't make the mistake of having a short listing to end on the wrong day. Thanks for the information and as I said, your blog is a good read and I am never too busy to have a look at your blog when I see it on line. Good luck with all your future sales.
