What Can I Sell On eBay?
by: Dave Bromley
There is going to come a time when you have cleared out the attic, there is actually room to park the car in the garage and the children have fitted padlocks to their toy boxes. So what on earth can you sell now? This is the time that you are going to have to decide exactly what kind of Ebayer you want to be. Is it going to be a hobby or a business?
These two things are not mutually exclusive and there is no reason why your business cannot be your hobby as well. But what I am really talking about is are going to be a serious player who permanently has 40 or more items listed or someone who just pops in or out of eBay selling. If you are a hobbyist you can buy items as you see them at car boot sales, auctions or wherever.
My main Ebay business is selling information CDs but I cannot resist buying items if I think I can sell them for a profit on Ebay. For instance the other day I saw a motor cycle manual for a 1960’s motor bike. This is a subject I know absolutely nothing about but I felt certain that somewhere there was some one who would really want it. As it was only $1 I bought it and sold it a week later on Ebay for $12 plus postage. Not a fortune but it was 1200% profit. When you are paying a dollar or less for any item you can afford to take the risk and the odd item that does not sell will be more than compensated for by those that do. However, if you are going into selling these type of items on a regular basis it will pay you to specialise.
