Ebay Sellers, Share In My Profits

Is it just me, or is it practically impossible to find unique Ebay marketing ideas and systems? I come across the same information time after time.

Dropship low margin products...
Ebay affiliate marketing...
Sell public domain info...
List your own junk...
List other people's junk...
Build crappy websites and sell them...
The list goes on and on.

Being pressed for research time, I am not afraid to pay someone to teach me unique and proven methods to generate income on Ebay. I do not care if it only earns a hundred or a few hundred a week, I do not expect to make $50,000 per week dropshipping electronics with a margin under 1%.

So for all you Ebay savvy Warriors out there, PM me a brief overview and let's talk.

I changed my mind...

When you PM me, please reveal all secrets beforehand, disclose all sources, and make sure I can earn $10,000 by tomorrow working only 30 minutes.

Just kidding of course...

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Paul

P.S

I do apologize if this post is not appropriate for this forum. I am sure you will let me know.

    I actually buy products at Wal-Mart and sell them on eBay. I'm not kidding.

      Good going. How much of a profit do you make?

        Depends on the product. I'll give you an example. A LIMITED collectible toy that Wal-Mart sells normally for about $5 sells for about $8 once it is discontinued on eBay.

        When Wal-Mart is ready to start stocking the next toy in the series they dump the discontinued toy for pennies on the dollar. I'll normally go into a Wal-Mart and see them selling the once $5 toy for $1. I'll find the manager and offer 50 cents each and take them all.

        When I post a few on eBay I always get some of the big sellers contacting me offering to buy my stock for around the original sales price of the toy or close to it. They then sell it for the higher price on eBay.

        Sometimes I don't sell to the big sellers and sell them on my own.

        Sometimes it's best to hold on to the product until all other eBay sellers are sold out. Then you can name your own price.

        Seasonal closeouts are also great to buy if you know what to look for.

          Ahh. Sounds like what a friend of mine used to do. He used to sell toys at flea markets though. But he would always be going to the toy stores and knew all the items inside out. Eventually he ended up having a house full of toys. He made good money though. On a good day he would make $2,000.

            Don't limit to just toys. That was just an example. Every department in Wal-Mart has tons of possibilities.

      Good one. You are not the first I have heard about who is doing something like this. In Canberra there is a recycle joint at the tip and they are picking over the junk people dispose of and selling it on e-bay. Its amazing what a good picture can do.

        Yeh, all sorts of junk gets sold there. I've seen people sell empty McDonald's bags and wrappers. Then, there's some lady who puts paint on her breasts lays on paper and sells the "boob art". Hmmm. Maybe that's not junk.

        It's amazing what you can profit from if you keep your eyes open and think outside the box.

        Here is an example of thinking outside the box.

        You find a bunch of ice trays that create ice cubes in the shape of flowers being liquidated.

        What I see is this.

        A chocolate flower creation kit.

        I put the following together.

        Flower ice tray
        A block of hard chocolate
        An instruction book on how to melt the chocolate and poor it into the trays and let it harden

        I have a unique product to sell on eBay!

        Hmmmm... Could do that with homemade soap also.

        Now I have TWO unique products.

    Here is another example.

    NOTE: Wal-Mart and other major box stores have to dump old products to make shelf room for new inventory all the time.

    I purchased a bunch of wallets that Wal-Mart was dumping. They normally sold for $10 to $15 each. I got them for $1 each.

    I put them on eBay for $2 each and guess what? They did NOT sell!!!!

    A few months later I purchased a bunch of ties and belts Wal-Mart was dumping. I got a great deal on them and place them on eBay for $2 each.

    Guess what??? They did not sell!!!!

    Well... I waited for fathers day to come along and combined a wallet, belt and tie as a fathers day gift package. I then put that on eBay. Guess what???

    Sold out with the buy it now within days.

    Again, just think outside the box.
