Don, could you explain the following a bit more:

Exceeding a 21 day cashout or 15 month hang time.
While avoiding the profit loss of "too fast" sales.

Does 15 months mean the time you hang onto one item or your total inventory turnover time? Or something else? And is 21 day cashout the time from the beginning of any listing until you get $$ in your hand?

Thanks, Dave




Say you buy a pallet of sixty items, fifty of which are sellable.
And that it is a deep distress buy with an expectation of a 30:1 SBR.

Selling everything at once almost certainly will not give you a maximized return.

Selling two of these within 21 days should return your purchase cost and give you a cashout. Where you can now carry your remaining items in inventory as zero value.

The price of the remainder should then be adjusted so you sell out in fifteen months. Or about just under one a week or so.

Naturally, all the while hoping an "I'll take them all" buyer comes along and takes everything in a few weeks.
