Everyone knows there’s money to be had on eBay. And the biggest profit margins have to come from those items that don’t cost you a cent to get hold of in the first place.
But where do you find them?
Well they’re actually easier to find than you might think. You just need to know where – and how – to look.
Let’s start close to home. Now is the time to have a clear out, and create a pile of stuff you no longer want or use. Once you’ve done that, cast your net further afield and start talking to friends and family. You’d be surprised how many people have stuff they just want to get rid of. We’ve had relatives donate an entire loft full of stuff to us – and they wouldn’t take any money for it.
You’re probably thinking they’d have to be nuts not to hit eBay and make some money themselves, but consider this. Not everyone has the time; not everyone is as ‘into’ eBay as we are; and not everyone wants the cost or hassle of hiring a skip (or three) to get rid of it all. We saved them money and took the whole lot away for them. Problem solved.
Another ideal place to go is boot fairs and similar sales, but make sure you hang around until the end. Lots of people leave their unsold goods behind as they don’t want to take them all home again. You can pick up some good stuff like this.
Another idea - keep an eye out online and in magazines for free, no obligation offers from any number of companies. You know the kind of thing – receive our free monthly newsletter and receive a free book to keep with the first issue. There are countless offers like these popping up all the time, and you can apply for them and put the free items on eBay to turn a quick profit. Join a few internet sites, like Smart Free Stuff, to get information on the latest freebies available.
Above all, make sure you tell everyone you’re after stuff for eBay. They’ll get in the habit of phoning you before they throw anything out.
And that’s definitely good news.
