The Importance of the First Sale
 

Does anyone else "manufacture" the first sale of their stealth accounts? I can't rely on some random eBay buyer to be apart of such a critical step in the stealth process. I just started doing this a few months ago with extreme success. I get to ship the item the same exact day, it arrives 2-3 days later, and I leave myself a raving review. Such a perfect, flawless transaction ensures smooth sailing for the rest of the stealth's life.

Yes but I do not usually ship anything big

Usually I have Fedex deliver a fridge off the truck with the dolly. Stealthy and incognito is my middle name.

Re: The Importance of the First Sale
 

This is interesting.

Usually how long do you wait, from time of posting, to 'manufacture' the 1st sale?

I'm starting fresh, for the 1000000000000th time, and I want to speed it up a bit.

OOOOOOOOOO :clap: :hail: lol how awesome are you.

Tip for you... 5 days just casually sign in to the account without posting or doing anything just search, add things to the watched list. To ebay it seems like you are checking out the site and trying to learn things. I have learned that works the best.

I wait 3 days. I make sure shill account is watching the posted item.

I make sure the item is priced high enough that no one actually buys it, then I come with my shill account and make an offer. Send a message or two to make it seem legit. Then I accept the offer and have the shill pay. Stealth ships same or next business day with tracking. Once delivered, I leave feedback and abandon the shill account.

Change is good, don't be afraid.

Re: The Importance of the First Sale
 

WHEN change is good, I enjoy it.


I have no time for bulldust.

Not sure why you are being negative towards my postings, as if I'm doing something wrong. I'm just sharing what works for me with other members. Isn't that the point of discussion boards, to have a discussion?

Re: The Importance of the First Sale
 

It has nothing to do with being negative or positive, it's a point of view of an experienced member, which it seems logical.

Buying from your self on all your new stealth accounts from another new-one-time-use account is not a good advice, IF it worked for you, it may cost others their accounts.

No offense bro, but it's not somthing really "clever" that worths sharing.

Re: The Importance of the First Sale
 

Post count means nothing

Some of the methods are old and outdated.
Waiting 30 days before selling is stupid. No one actually does that in real life.
Letting a dumb buyer ruin a new stealth is dumb too. Let's try to control all the variables we can.

Sure it's worth sharing, people comment on my thread and ask questions, like my posts.
I'm here contributing and having discussion, meanwhile the two of you have added what?

Haters gonna hate.

Re: The Importance of the First Sale
 

You're pretty much begging for trouble.

Seriously, most of us have tried everything you can dream up and a hundred things you can't begin to imagine at one point or another.

Doing things like this will get you torched.

@LaDiDaDiDaSlobOnMeKnob, welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

I just sell something that is absolutely zero risk, sell it dirt cheap, and guarantee a good feedback. Waste $5, pay for fast shipping on a $2 or less item. Put a note in the package asking for good feedback. Leave them good feedback as soon as they pay. Watch the tracking, dont badger but like 2 days after they receive it send a feedback reminder if they havent left any.
