Listing Momentum, Promoted Listings, and What Actually Sells: Pocket Watches, VHS Rewinders & ReturnsIn this episode of Pocket Change, Joel and Ben recap their reselling weeks, with Ben noting slower April sales and vowing to list more, while Joel shares that six of 20 newly listed, unpromoted items sold and discusses how new listings and “sell similar” can boost visibility. They debate when promoted listings are worthwhile and mention an automated promotion tool discussed by Graham and Pop Vintage, plus the idea of AI-assisted listing. Joel’s sale of the week is a low-dollar sealed DVD he opened and resealed to prevent damage, and Ben shares a pocket watch sale while explaining how to spot value differences between Chinese-made watches, Japanese movements, and higher-end lookalikes. They discuss rising shipping costs, focusing on higher-dollar items, feedback automation, a 57 Chevy VHS rewinder pick/pass with sell-through insights, a low sell-through women’s leggings pass, and return-policy pitfalls.00:00 Cold Open Banter01:50 Weekly Sales Slump03:28 Promoted Listings Debate04:35 Movie Talk Detour08:13 Back to Listing Strategy09:36 Automation and AI Tools10:52 Sale of the Week DVD Ethics16:02 Pocket Watch Breakdown24:12 Sourcing Shift to Higher Value25:21 Shipping Costs Reality Check29:06 Feedback System Rant30:33 Reseller Podcast Example31:08 Auto Feedback Debate32:24 eBay Ad Breakdown34:00 Collector Gift Overload35:27 Weekly Sales Check35:35 Picker Pass VHS Rewinder37:51 Comping Rewinder Prices43:18 Picker Pass Shiny Leggings45:52 Sell Through Reality Check49:07 Marketplace News Updates53:24 Returns and Payout Risks57:01 Wrap Up and Dad Joke
