Testimonials

We could talk all day about how Terapeak can help increase your success. But what could be better than hearing it directly from our users?

Over a year ago, I was very lucky to find one of the infamous 'Duffy Disney Bears' I hurried to eBay completeds to see what the sales looked like. I was unimpressed, looked like they were selling around $200 to $300…I then went to check Terapeak…I saw that the highest it sold in the last 6 months was $1000 and the next highest was $600. I started my auction at $600, received one bid. Terapeak doubled my money received with one use. Paying for Terapeak puts money in your pocket!

I stopped by Goodwill the other day (after being there only the day before) just to see if anything had changed. Boy had it! A local company had just changed their printer cartridge and supply inventory and donated it all to Goodwill. I was able to purchase several items, one of which was a printer maintenance kit. I listed it this morning around 9 am and by noon it was sold! Cost $9.50…BIN Selling price, established after research…$290! That's a SCORE!

…I jumped on Terapeak and I nearly fell over. The book is worth thousands of dollars! SCORE!…I know that these types of sales sometimes take more time but I did see on Terapeak that one just sold for the same amount. The only difference between the two is that mine seems to be in better condition but no dust jacket. The ones on the book sites with dust jackets are going for $3500—$4500 so I think my pricing is fair.

My sister-in-law picked [a mug] up for me back in December for 37 cents. I had it listed ridiculously high for months. Then a month or so ago, I lowered my price a bit. I got an offer for $75 the other day. I checked Terapeak and saw that very few of these had sold over the past year, and all the ones that did sold for right around $75, so I took the offer. Buyer paid quickly and has left positive feedback already. Yay!

I did a quick scan of the toys and found a vintage Fisher Price phonograph circa 1978. Terapeak is showing an average price of $24.18 with a 50% sell through rate. Six recently sold in the last few months at $50 or more…that's my number! I paid $5 for it and it's clean. Total spent $21 with $175 in projected sales.

When I first saw the elephant, I didn't think it was anything special. In fact, I was going to auction it at $4.99, but before I listed it, I checked Terapeak. This is a good tool to determine what to sell your item at. One used elephant sold for $29. This elephant is from the John Lennon Collection and plays the song Imagine. I put him in my store for $32 or Best Offer.

I found a new in the package PlayStation game for $4. I almost put it down but changed my mind and looked it up. Because it's new in the pack, one had sold for $60 and the other one for $100! Thanks to Terapeak I found a treasure.

This set of 4 Campbell Soup mugs are from the 125th Anniversary collection. Be advised that had I not gotten the full set of four, I would be stuck with them. I didn't know this until I looked at eBay completed listing and did a search back an entire year on Terapeak. None of the mugs sold unless it was the complete set.

Hanging in a corner looking very 1985 was a vintage San Francisco 49ers jacket. It was wool with leather sleeves. I know next to nothing about sports, but I'm pretty familiar with this product. I ran to the cash register and handed the lady a $10 bill. After researching the jacket on Terapeak, I listed it at auction for a starting price of $99. People began watching this fabulous piece of history right away, and it sold for $112!
