\This is Mike Roth on Open Forum in The Villages, Florida. I'm here today with Barbara Quick . Thanks for joining me, Barbara. 

[00:01:43] Barbara Quick: Hi Mike, thanks for having me on 

[00:01:45] Mike Roth: Today we're gonna be talking a lot about eBay and how to use eBay. But before we do that, Barbara, why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about yourself.

What did you do before you came to The Villages? 

[00:01:57] Barbara Quick: I moved here with my family [00:02:00] from Michigan in 1976 I'm a nurse anesthetist. I'm retired and in the 1980s I had gone to an auction and there I bought. a beautiful piece of pink glass. It was a candy dish. I thought it was very attractive and took it home and showed it to my mother.

She said, oh, that's depression glass. I said, really? What's depression glass? I got a lesson in the depression and how there were so many pieces of glass given away as freebies to encourage you to purchase their product. 

Or you went to the movies and you would get one week of free plate the next week of Free Cup. There were poor times and it was to encourage people to purchase their products. It was very inexpensive, but very attractive with different patterns, different names, shortly after I had bought this piece, there was a depression glass show in Orlando, and I told my mother about it and we went. when I saw the display, [00:03:00] I was immediately taken by the beauty of it and how much I liked it. I just wanted to have a few pieces around. I wanted to use it.

People would always say, wow, what is that? It's just so unusual and that started collecting. my husband would go with me, we'd walk around antique shops. He spotted different things, but he really hadn't had any interest at all. one day we saw an ad in the paper from a woman who was selling various things, and some of it was glassware, so we thought we'd go. We went to her house. It was like a yard sale kind of thing. She was an older woman and had a big collection of all different kinds of things, when she needed to put in a new roof or buy a new piece of furniture, she would sell some things.

So that's where I saw a lot of unusual things I recognized from the show I had been at, and my husband spotted some yellow glass he had [00:04:00] never seen before and asked her about it. she said, that's Vaseline glass. He said what's that? She said, it glows. It has uranium.

It glows under a black light or in the sun. He became very enamored So now. every time we go on vacation, we would always find places to shop. We could stop at antique malls. he got a little black light and his collection of Vaseline glass grew and grew.

That expanded to Murano art Glass. Mine expanded to more and different kinds of depression, glass and elegant glass pottery. So we just enjoyed so much the fun of it. But pretty soon what happens when you collect, you either have to slow down your collecting or you have to sell some. Because there isn't any room .

[00:04:49] Mike Roth: Outta space. 

[00:04:50] Barbara Quick: You bet. 

[00:04:51] Mike Roth: How many years did you collect glass before you came to The Villages? 

[00:04:55] Barbara Quick: I would say probably about 30 years. 

[00:04:58] Mike Roth: About 30 years. Okay. 

[00:04:59] Barbara Quick: Okay. [00:05:00] So we started doing shows. We did about five shows a year. Glass shows. Had a great time. Lots of fun. You make a lot of friends, other people buying and selling.

People would wait for you for the show, wait to see what you brought for them. But of course, you acquire a lot of glass to be able to do a show. Then my husband became ill and he was not able to do the show. And the show is very, it would be very difficult to do alone. And of course I couldn't leave him.

So here I am at home with huge amounts of glass 

[00:05:33] Mike Roth: Tell all listeners how many.

boxes of glass you came to The Villages with.

[00:05:38] Barbara Quick: I had as he became ill I thought, what am I gonna do? So that's when I opened an eBay store. I had always been on eBay. eBay opened in 1996 and I've been on eBay since 1997.

I sold some but as he became more ill I couldn't do anything after he passed away.

I decided I was living in [00:06:00] St. Cloud, Florida, which is near Orlando. I thought, where am I gonna go? So I did some exploring and settled on The Villages. I moved in five and a half years ago, and when I moved in, I counted them. I had 405. Banana boxes filled with glass of all type. My husband had over 400 pieces of Vaseline, over 200 pieces of Murano, art glass, and I had just massive amounts of all sorts of things.

So between my store. which I still have today, I still sell in through my store on eBay, and I am in an antique booth. all my boxes are empty, 

But the shelves I'm still selling, and then I just thought. I heard when I first moved here, so many people, and they would see my glass.

I'd have my garage door open, I'd be working out there. People would stop and say. My goodness. ' there were boxes everywhere. I had people had a lot [00:07:00] of interest and I heard them say, I've got this, I have that. Boy, I wish I could sell. And I just, I don't know how to sell on eBay.

So I heard about the Enrichment Academy and started taking a few classes there, lectures, love their lectures, and I thought maybe I could have a class. So that's what I did. I made the application to the Enrichment Academy and just about a month ago, I finished my 22nd class of teaching people how to sell on eBay.

[00:07:29] Mike Roth: So how many classes per enrichment academy semester do you do 

[00:07:33] Barbara Quick: It varies mostly with just. What I'm doing, if I have things going on with my family or if I'm traveling. But I used to do when I first started, four, five, maybe five or six, one year I did six. And I thought that was too many because it's a two week class.

it's two, two days per class, so 

[00:07:53] Mike Roth: two days, 

[00:07:54] Barbara Quick: no, two, one and a half hour sessions. 

But, the [00:08:00] preparation and so on. so I thought that kind of honed down to where I did four per 

I believe last year. Last year I did three and I haven't signed up yet for this year, but I'll probably do three also this year.

[00:08:13] Mike Roth: how many students do you have in your eBay classes? 

[00:08:16] Barbara Quick: It varies. I thought I would have more during snowbird season 'cause there's more people here. But surprisingly, even in the summer, I'll have a number. Usually it's between. 15 and 20. But I've had as few as five or six.

my largest class was 24.  

It's better when it's less than 15 or 16. You don't have to bring a computer I demonstrate everything and like people to look at the screen so they can see what I'm doing, what I'm clicking on, and I explain each place each tool toolbar, all the items, all these things.

How do you get around, how do you conduct, how do I do this, how do I do that? [00:09:00] And I've had a number of people. That had never been on eBay. They didn't even have an account. They had never been on the website. They'd only heard about it, and by the time we're finished they're able to go home and pull it out and decide what they're gonna sell.

[00:09:15] Mike Roth: When I talked to you before the show and we determined we were gonna talk about eBay, you made me look at my eBay account to figure out when I signed up and started selling my first items on eBay. Turned out it was 1999. 

[00:09:29] Barbara Quick: Yeah. You're way back. 

[00:09:31] Mike Roth: The first item I found in my father-in-law's garage after he died .

It was a 1939 buck Rogers Atomic Blaster. 

[00:09:40] Barbara Quick: Yes. But that type of thing has a lot of appeal. 

[00:09:43] Mike Roth: Right. It sold for a hundred bucks. The first day it was listed and the guy paid. Another hundred bucks to have it shipped Federal Express to New York. 

And I scratched my head the whole time. I said, gee,

maybe I'm onto something. I gotta find more of these atomic blasters. 

[00:09:57] Barbara Quick: I always ask my class what they [00:10:00] plan to sell. It is very interesting because people will have. So many things. They moved here they brought the things that they really love. if you moved from another place, most people downsize before they move.

They bring with them what they really love. as time goes on. You either have to downsize again and start giving things away. or you change in what you like and think, no, I decorated with this? I don't like it anymore. So a lot of people look for ways, what can I do There's lots of reasons people collect. One of the main ones is that. You collect something that reminds you of happy times. Either you were a kid someone in your family gave you something, it brings back family ties, or something just strikes you 

[00:10:49] Mike Roth: I have a friend who collects

Cowboy 

memorabilia.

and miniatures .

[00:10:54] Barbara Quick: Does too. 

[00:10:55] Mike Roth: And he's got a whole room in his house. here in The Villages. dedicated to,

Roy [00:11:00] Rogers hats. Or Hopalong Cassidy Pistols. 

[00:11:03] Barbara Quick: Yeah, he probably played with those when he was a kid and it was a happy time. A lot of women have doll collections. That they've had for many years.

One of the things that's a big seller as far as eBay is concerned is handbags, especially vintage handbags or vintage clothing of any kind. It's actually very popular and I know I've heard so many people say I'm not gonna be able to sell this because people don't collect today. That isn't true.

They do collect, but they collect differently than they did years ago. Years ago collecting was much bigger. But remember that was when the baby boomers were in and that was a large number of people, the baby boom generation, and they collected. Thinking back to the things they remember from their grandmothers, their aunt, what things their mom gave them.

Nowadays less, we went through a period of minimalism where decorating and [00:12:00] all the more minimal everything was the better it was. But that's changing. There's a lot of younger people that collect, but they collect a little bit differently. 

[00:12:09] Mike Roth: What kind of things are most valuable? In selling on eBay, 

[00:12:14] Barbara Quick: There's a lot of things. If you don't know a market, you really don't know the value of something It's supply and demand like anything else, just because something is old does not make it valuable. 

It's valuable because they don't make it anymore and a number of people want it.

You can have something old, but if nobody wants it, it's not of any value 

[00:12:37] Mike Roth: stretch. 

[00:12:38] Barbara Quick: that's exactly right. a lot of people don't understand that and they'll insist that they think something is worth this or worth that. And it's just not because nobody wants it, I really stress this in my class.

you have to understand what you have is this something I should donate or is this something. I could sell. I teach how to research, how [00:13:00] to look and find what's selling and how much it brings. 

[00:13:05] Mike Roth: What's the first step in doing that 

[00:13:07] Barbara Quick: The very first step is that you have to have an account. And that's one thing that I like about eBay. they have other venues where you can sell items. There's Amazon Marketplace, Facebook Marketplace, Etsy, all sorts of them. However, those are anonymous. Places you go on, you list something you don't really know this is what I see a lot because I follow some of these websites, especially for glass.

Somebody will have listed something, Sold it. And then a few days later, the person never paid. She's got it back up for sale 

There isn't any accountability using those particular sites. With eBay, every person who is on there looking at things or that buys something, has an account.

They've had to register, and they are a real person. You don't put your personal [00:14:00] information in there. You use a username, you don't use your own email. 

But every person is accountable. if you have a person who buys your item and then never pays for it, which happens frequently on other sites, you'll do this about three times and eBay will remove you.  

So you're dealing with real people who are looking for what you are selling. 

[00:14:22] Mike Roth: Isn't eBay still using their reputation system? 

Feedback. 

[00:14:26] Barbara Quick: Yes. And that's very important because they're not involved with the feedback that's strictly between the buyer and the seller.

And that's one way of keeping someone looking, someone new to the site can look and see if someone has a thousand stars and they've been on there for 10 years and they have a hundred percent feedback, They've had all of these transactions. Everyone has been successful. No one is unhappy.

So it really is a way of gauging the person and that you're gonna have a successful transaction. 

[00:14:59] Mike Roth: Let's take a [00:15:00] short break now and listen to a Alzheimer's tip from Dr. Craig Curtis.

Alzheimer's is the most Feared disease in America more than heart attacks. 

[00:15:08] Dr. Craig Curtis: It's a very feared disease because it heart attacks and strokes kill more people. That is true. It's the number one killer of men and women in the United States. Alzheimer's disease is also the only one of the top 10 killers of Americans that we currently don't have a way of modifying significantly.

 But. Through these prevention studies, we're hoping we can find some more answers. We're also looking at removing this amyloid before someone gets symptoms. We talked about tau and that protein, how it spreads through the brain. We currently have a research trial where we're testing a vaccine to see if we can halt the spread of tau.

It's a worldwide study and we're doing it right here in the villages, and we're really hopeful that things like this in the future can provide us some help. That study might be able to stop the progression of tau if it [00:16:00] works. Mm-hmm. 

[00:16:01] WARREN: With over 20 years of experience studying brain health, Dr. Curtis's goal is to educate the village's community on how to live a longer, healthier life.

[00:16:17] Mike Roth: Thank you, Dr. Curtis. I'm back with Barbara Quick. 

Barbara how difficult is it for someone to learn how to use eBay effectively by themselves? 

[00:16:29] Barbara Quick: EBay does offer courses . EBay used to be. Much more difficult. 

[00:16:35] Mike Roth: I remember 

[00:16:37] Barbara Quick: you remember it was, 

[00:16:38] Mike Roth: remember spending an hour, to list One item. 

[00:16:41] Barbara Quick: Absolutely. It was very difficult, but through the years, they have made it more user friendly. they have sessions where you can sign up and look, but It's always easier if you see someone do it and explain it to you.

in the class that I teach through the [00:17:00] Enrichment Academy, I pull up the website. We start with how to open an account if you don't have one? the first thing I teach is research. You have to know what you have before you try to sell it. 

[00:17:15] Mike Roth: Because 

[00:17:15] Barbara Quick: It could be much more valuable than you think, in your research, you'll find that there's 25 of them on there, and the most anyone is asking is $10. You may not wanna spend your time with that item, even though you like it. You may wanna donate it or just give it to someone. 

But believe me, there's been a number of times that I've been stunned at the value of something 

[00:17:38] Mike Roth: What was the most stunning.

Valuation that you had on an eBay item? 

[00:17:42] Barbara Quick: I've had a couple. one happened about four or five months ago. I had bought this probably, 10 years ago. a woman who did shows had passed away and her husband was left with, massive numbers [00:18:00] of glass.

he got bugged and hounded by lots of people wanting to buy from him immediately. he just wasn't ready. His wife had died suddenly. I had chatted with him at a show when he was just starting to come out again. I gave him my card and said, I know you're not ready, but when you are, if you want to sell your glass, just call me.

And that was it. I didn't call him again. One day he called out of the blue and said I wanna sell this. Okay, so we bought 105 boxes. we bought that collection and I never even went through them. there were a few boxes. I knew what was in them. I sold out. The rest of it, I didn't. So three, or four months ago, I'm opening one of her boxes.

[00:18:40] Mike Roth: how did you get all those 105 boxes back to your house? 

[00:18:43] Barbara Quick: We took a trailer and his son loaded them for us in the trailer, and then a neighbor came over and helped my husband to unload them.  

She had a great eye and she collected different than me, so I ended up with a lot of different things.

Here about four or five months ago, I'm emptying boxes and I [00:19:00] come across. A Tumblr just the way it was. A glass decorated, had stripes around the bottom and horizontal stripes around the bottom, and I thought, wow, it's a 1950s Tumblr. I knew that right away there were nine. Maybe I could make two sets of four, take 'em to my antique booth, maybe put $30 on them. They were really nice, but something about them, the colors, I thought, I don't know. I've just never seen, they just look different. So I started my research. Nothing. I could find nothing.

I belong to a website called Worth point. It's not free. You have to pay for it, it's a great site because it lists every. Single thing that has sold online, including auctions, eBay, anywhere? Not Facebook but any other sites? Every single thing that's sold since 2007, it's a big site.

[00:19:55] Mike Roth: what does that cost you a year?

[00:19:57] Barbara Quick: It's $23 a month. 

[00:19:59] Mike Roth: Wow. [00:20:00] Okay. So it's inexpensive 

[00:20:01] Barbara Quick: Especially if you only have a few items to sell. But with the amount I had to sell, believe me, it is well worth it.

[00:20:08] Mike Roth: So You tried to find this glass. 

[00:20:09] Barbara Quick: I tried to find this glass and I kept looking of course you put in those search.

1950s Tumblr. 

[00:20:15] Mike Roth: many hundreds. 

[00:20:15] Barbara Quick: So I'm just sitting there saying, Go through. And lo and behold, after probably an hour. I saw the glass. I thought, oh my gosh, it turns out it was a depression glass made by Macbeth Evans in the pedalware pattern.

I did not even know pedal ware made tumblers. 

And it said that very rare there were, I believe, two of them, and they sold for over a hundred dollars I thought. Whoa. Okay. That certainly changes things. 

[00:20:49] Mike Roth: You're gonna upset the market, trying to sell nine

so course the price down? 

[00:20:53] Barbara Quick: I ended up listing four of them and I put $325 on four of them [00:21:00] within two hours.

I had an offer of 275. Sold them right away, got ahold of the man and said, I have four more. If you are interested, I'll list them for you. Oh, absolutely. Immediately bought them for 275. So now there's 500 and some dollars, and I still had one. I listed that by itself and sold for 50. So this is something I would have without research, put in my antique booth, somebody probably when it was on sale, would've bought it for $25 and I got, over 

600. almost $600. 

I teach how to do real reasearch. I use Google Lens. With Google lens you take a photo of something and tell Google to find similar items on the web.

. Yes, and it's very good. sometimes you won't find something. It didn't work for those tumblers, but sometimes you will find things. It's really important. someone told me a long time ago, you should never sell anything until you know what it [00:22:00] is and how much it's worth.

You can't assume just because it's old, it may not be worth. it. We go through that and then all of the other things about maintaining eBay. How do I do a refund? what about packaging? What about. Shipping. What about all of the things?

So the two classes on the second class, I actually bring an item in and after having gone through the basics, the first class we go through step by step we actually list something. I don't physically list it, but we go through everything just like we're listening and then how to deal with everything that happens with the listing.

[00:22:36] Mike Roth: What I like on eBay today is if you're selling an item that's relatively. Current and you have the original packaging with the UPC You can look that up and eBay will put the description of it and may even have some pictures of the item. 

[00:22:52] Barbara Quick: Generically. 

[00:22:53] Mike Roth: To make it easier to list.

[00:22:55] Barbara Quick: However, I would warn that if you have anything older, [00:23:00] pre UPC, antiques, or collectibles of any kind, never use canned pictures. 

[00:23:06] Mike Roth: gotta take it 

[00:23:07] Barbara Quick: people hate them. They wanna see the real item in a new item. It doesn't make any difference 'cause it's all gonna be the same.

But with an old item, they wanna actually see, we go through a whole thing about, photography, how to take the best pictures. Just all of that. I did try doing an advanced course once I think I did it two times for people who wanted to open a store or eBay motors 'cause I've sold.

Motorcycle, a couple of cars a car haul after my husband passed away, he had all of these toys and I did that through eBay motors, and that's really a very successful venue to use. But I don't think there was enough interest and I didn't enjoy doing the class as much, so I haven't done the advanced one again.

I just did that for a couple times. 

[00:23:56] Mike Roth: One of the things I discovered early in working with [00:24:00] eBay was I took a lot of pictures of the item as it actually was from all sides. They sold more quickly.

[00:24:08] Barbara Quick: Oh,

absolutely. Now they have an option where you can attach a video.

And I think that's very good. Say you have an antique fishing reel, you can show turning the reel. You can show how smooth it works. If you have a tool of some kind. You can plug it in and turn it on, or if it's mechanical, you can show it working. There's lots of different things and eBay has improved so much.

And I do have to say this, in all honesty, I've been on eBay since 1996 and not once ever have I had any issue that was unresolved or that the money wasn't right, or that there was anything that created a problem. 

[00:24:51] Mike Roth: I have a friend in Cincinnati who would buy failed. LED monitors from the federal government for five or [00:25:00] $10 a piece, he was an electronics technician and knew that these monitors failed ' because a couple of 5 cent capacitors failed. He would disassemble the

monitor find the swelled up capacitors, replace 'em.

And sell 'em on eBay for 75 bucks a piece. 

[00:25:17] Barbara Quick: Not a bad deal. 

[00:25:18] Mike Roth: Hey. It was a nice living. 

[00:25:20] Barbara Quick: Now, one of the things that I've had a couple people in the class that do have a hobby, a moneymaking side, job, hobby, whatever you wanna call it. And I know two in particular that really do very well.

They laugh because people will say that you can never find anything in a garage sale. It's all junk. There's a lot of stuff that might not be that great, but believe me, there's still things out there that are valuable. the secret is that you recognize it, 

[00:25:51] Mike Roth: So 

[00:25:51] Barbara Quick: you have to do 

[00:25:53] Mike Roth: what's the last thing that you bought at the garage sale here in The Villages? 

[00:25:56] Barbara Quick: When I moved to The Villages, I took A vow to [00:26:00] myself. You cannot downsize if you continue to buy. And I have bought not one thing since I moved to The Villages, 

[00:26:07] Mike Roth: you moved in with over 200 boxes, 

[00:26:10] Barbara Quick: Four hundred and five 

[00:26:11] Mike Roth: How many boxes are you down to? 

[00:26:12] Barbara Quick: The boxes are empty. 

They're all empty. But I still have a lot of things on shelves. I'm guessing within. two years I'll be done. I used to volunteer at the thrift shop, that benefits the hospital Yale thrift shop.

there's a man who came in I knew very well he was a garage sailor. he would tell me about the craziest stuff he bought. Really valuable. One of the ones that really impressed me was he was all excited. He came in and said, you won't believe what I bought. he was just walking around.

It didn't look too interesting, and he spotted some boxes in the back. They were. Buddy L trucks. I don't know if Buddy L but Buddy l was a type of truck. the dump trucks, the big trucks, the cranes. buddy L was kinda sturdy.

So they were good for kids, but they are very [00:27:00] collectible. He bought nine of them for $50. He was really excited. Three were still in The original box. 

[00:27:07] Mike Roth: the original box 

[00:27:07] Barbara Quick: The original box makes original box. He took those home. The very first one he sold, he got $90 for. Just one. And he bought nine of them.

[00:27:15] Mike Roth: Wow. 

[00:27:16] Barbara Quick: So he was really excited and he would find all kinds of stuff a very big variety of different things. And he did that as a little side thing. It was just something that was fun. 

[00:27:26] Mike Roth: So if someone wants to contact you or take your course. On how to sell on eBay.

How do they do that? 

[00:27:32] Barbara Quick: Just through the Enrichment Academy. They have an online district gov.org. And then you look at the Enrichment Academy. Also if you go to any of the rec centers, they have their catalog. I have taken many lectures here and other courses they're very interesting and they have such a variety.

There's always something there for everybody. I'm in there under the technology and my classes will be listed. I'm not teaching this summer because my [00:28:00] daughter is taking me on a really nice vacation and I just got back from Phoenix, This summer I'm not teaching, but I will be teaching again in the fall.

But yeah, they have all of the classes and the catalogs in the rec centers and you can pick 'em up there or online. 

[00:28:14] Mike Roth: I'm teaching two courses one in May on podcasting, and then.

I'm teaching the AI course again in September, that may be the last time I teach that course because it's too extensive.

[00:28:28] Barbara Quick: It's getting extensive now and it's changing so much all the time. 

[00:28:32] Mike Roth: I'd probably have to teach that course over five weeks if I was trying to cover a minimal piece of ground. We're teaching it over two weeks now. It's a hands-on course not for everyone, but if you have some computer skills and you wanna learn about how to use AIS for yourself it's valuable Again, Barbara, thanks for being on the show with us.
