Picking The Right Stuff To Sell On eBay
If you are like me then you have troubled a lot over what exactly is the right stuff to sell on eBay and make some good money while doing it.
I have spent many hours going through endless web searches trying to find the perfect wholesale house that I can convince to drop ship for me and still be affordable to sell on eBay.
I really thought I had it nailed until here recently when I was cleaning out the attic and came across an old working kitchen clock.
In a lot of instances I would have put it in the take it somewhere and donate it pile.
Instead I thought I would put it for sale on eBay for $5.
00 with shipping of $7.
50.
In my mind this would be there forever but to my amazement the next morning I woke up to find that it had sold.
This was the Christmas season so I thought it was possible as long as it is not re-gifted back to me.
I recently attended a trade show where one on the give- a-ways was a rubber duck in a space shuttle.
Again here it was either throw it away, give it away or sell it on eBay.
Well I thought why not, priced it at $2.
00 and shipping for $6.
00.
Yep! sure enough the next morning I woke to find that it had sold.
You may think one, where is the profit when you have to list it and then ship it.
Well I ship 2 times a week and the carrier picks up at my business and to boot it was FREE! So all told after all costs I netted a big fat 50 cents.
While reading this monkey business you are wondering what is the point? I will point it out for you since it may not be all that obvious.
First, with the clock do not take it for granted that even though you have something that is no longer useful to you that it may not be useful to someone else.
Point in being don't throw it away, sell it on eBay.
Next, even though the duck was just a give-a-way trinket, they need to come from somewhere so what if you had thousands to sell and you promoted them as a give-a-way for another business in promoting their business.
These sales have taught me that when it comes to selling on eBay or more precisely what to sell on eBay you must get beyond the box and think lightly about what you are surrounded with in your everyday existence.
See what other people do and how it may apply to you and your eBay business.
Think outside the box.
Seems to me that last saying has made it to the most overused cliche list but let it work this one last time for you.
