eBay Inventory Can Be Found in the Most Interesting Places
Have you gotten to the point where you have sold everything that isn't nailed down in your home? Has your family started hiding their prize possessions in fear that you might sell them on eBay? If so, it is time for you to start finding new sources of stuff to sell.
My two favorite places to find good inventory at low prices are yard sales and thrift stores. There are plenty of other places to look but these two will get you started.
Before you begin, a word about technology. Do you have a web enabled cell phone? Does your kid? The reason I ask is that while you are out searching for stuff to sell on eBay you will come across items that you think will sell but you don't have enough experience with the item to know for sure. If you have a web enabled cell phone you can do a quick search on ended items and see what the item is selling for. If you do this you can make an educated decision on whether to buy the item or not.
What's fun and challenging about yard sales is that you never know what you're going to find. The challenging part is you will come across a lot of stuff that you aren't familiar with-unless you can do a search on eBay. But the great thing is that you can find some amazing deals that will net you a nice profit.
The easiest way to find yard sales in your area is using the local paper or Craigslist.org. Try to organize your list so you can go to each yard sale sorted by opening time and their location. You want to do as little driving as possible to keep your gas expense down and you want to arrive at the sale as close to the opening time as possible.
While thrift store prices are probably going to be higher than yard sales you will most likely always find stuff to sell. If you're not familiar with thrift stores, many have discount tags or discount days, so check into that to help lower your costs. If you start sourcing your inventory from thrift stores you can begin to specialize in say mens clothes.
As you keep buying and selling and studying sales prices on eBay, you will begin to learn what is a good deal for resale.
