One of the things people always when they are interested in getting started on Ebay is-"How do I know what to sell?"
I had an English teacher long ago tell me that it is best to write about what you know. I think the same is true of Ebay crap. I sell predominately baby and child related items for a couple of reasons.
It first occurred to me to sell when I was online years ago looking for clothes for my then 6 month old baby boy. I went on Ebay thinking I could get cheap clothes, maybe a whole box since it was supposed to be like an online garage sale.
I was astonished when I realized that not only were the clothes sold mostly piece by piece they were selling for nearly as much as they retailed for in the first place.
That is when I got the idea to not only sell the massive amount of Baby Gap crap I had gotten as a gift in size 0-3, but that I could go to garage sales and get other people's baby junk to sell.
As a freaky first time parent I had done all of that research into what the best car seats, high chairs, bouncer, activity centers, breast pumps and on and on. So I started doing Ebay searches for completed listings. Looking up Peg Perego strollers, Graco strollers, Pack and Plays and anything else I could think of that is on that list.
After a few nights of staying up late looking at completeds. . . (read post) |
