Default Re: Ask Me Anything About Ebay

OP...

I have started a small ebay business and just sell local junk on ebay and I've been making b/w 500-1000 a month for the past 2 months now. Mostly sporting goods, used snowboards, surfboards, some golf stuff, some clothing, etc...

I have over 200 positive feedback but its been hard for me this month to find things to sell. Can you recommend some things I could sell with a good profit turn around that aren't too hard to come by but are in decent demand?

thanks

what have you been selling so far?

very interested in this avenue of making a living even though i'm currently pretty immersed in my poker player lifestyle.

I've sold a lot of used clothing but not cheap clothing...

ie banana republic and abercrombie and fitch

I also look in the area for musical instruments @ garage sales, then put them up for sale.

i also had multiple surfboards I sold as well as a snowboard...also sell some electronics too. Just stuff I look around the house or neighborhood for that is cheap and then resell.

I try to put up anywhere from 10-30 auctions per week but it is time consuming. Every sunday it takes me a few hours to list my new auctions, and prepare all my other auctions for shipping for the week.

I'd say ~5 hours of my sunday is used b/c of this and then a couple of hours spread out during the week by going to post office or ups or fedex to ship the auctions that have been paid for.
