Title: bit of help please ( ebay relaeted )
Post by: rob172cup on January 19, 2012, 12:42:36 pm
Ive just had some news and it means i need to earn some more money to help support whats on its way !!!!  :surprised: ha ha

Anyway ive been selling bits and bobs on ebay and made a bit of money which got me thinking about selling stuff on there to make some money ( not alot maybe 200 - 400 a month )

Im a buyer for a day job and deal with china a fair bit so can pretty much source anything ( in the correct numbers )

But the big question is what ???

So thought id comne on here and see if anyone had anything to say any good ideas ?

I go for AV cables like HDMI, Scart etc as they cost peanuts to make so would have a low purchase cost but people pay stupids amount of money for some cables. Plus they store easily.

Look on eBay and you will see plenty of HDMi cables, LED's etc selling for 99p and many with free postage, how can you seriously wish to make money competing with them? or are they just doing it to launder money?  :confused:

Surely as a buyer you must know what sells well?

Apple products always sell well. But it's hard to make a decent profit most of the time since apple regulate their prices tightly.
I try and sell pretty much anything I can my hands on.
Got a few Kensington locks for sale if you want to start with them  :wink: lol

I may be getting a stock of iPad2's if you're interested? (I do a little buying and selling myself).
Could be good stock to get you started, and a little profit to be made as well......

In regards to China, best things are small silicon cases etc. Not much to be made unless you go for really large quantities. Careful though, a lot of the stuff you get may well be fakes, very good fakes at that, but could get you banned from eBay.

Ebay dont give a hoot if there are fakes on ebay, if they took every fake item off ebay their yearly profits would likely dip by 50%  :happy2:, bottom line is selling fakes your still generating income for them, unless the original manufacturer does a VERO report they dont care less!!!.

But that's just it. More and more people are reporting fakes at the mo. it's also a way to wipe out competitors.
Personally, I never risk it. I'll only ever deal if it's authentic, unless you are looking at cheap silicon cases etc which have no big manufacturer name etc on them.
