eBay reselling question (ideas?)

2 replies
Need some help brainstorming ideas! I'm an eBay reseller and I had a clever idea that just "dawned" on me tonight... I didn't realize you could get "email alerts" on craigslist for particular searches. This could be useful for sourcing specific products you want to buy locally and resell right? Especially things people just want to "get rid of" and may not know the value of? Idk I doubt if they're going to take the time to list it on craiglist they wouldn't check to see how much it's going for on eBay first but you never know! Anyway I was wondering if you guys can give me some more ideas for items to put email alerts out for? I'm still new to all of this, so I'm not sure what's "hot" and what people are looking for that would sell well. Right now all I can think of are specific video games/consoles... what else??

    People are not getting rid of the type of game consoles people are looking to buy are they? What types of things are you currently reselling?

    Interesting idea The first thing I'd suggest is to go to eBay's What to sell online page to see what is selling. If you scroll down from that link to What's Hot On eBay, they normally have 3 tabs for their top categories that will show you the best sellers in each section. This would be the list to start with to test this.

    Another excellent resource is the Terapeak service. You wouldn't need any more than the free version with their Terapeak Hot List starting out. If this works well though, you could expand your list of products to watch by going with one of their paid monthly subscriptions.
