THE BURNING Hot Item On eBay Right Now! + Sources
Bling-Bling, Iced Out and Hip-Hop Items Are BURNING HOT!!
First they discontinued the license with Krause Publications
to publish eBay Magazine (and a long with it the popular "eBay Site Barometer"), then they eliminated
the "Hot" page listing on their site. Who's they? "eBay".
Why would eBay do that? Why wouldn't they want you to know what's a hot seller? I don't know. But if you ask me
it's stupid. Plain and simple. They have all the data. It would make sense to make some money on it and sell or
license the data to someone who will publish it.
Not having easy and comprehensive auction results on eBay is like getting the Wall Street Journal with no listing
of stock prices!
Hopefully things will change and we'll have access to all the auction results on eBay.
If you want to figure out what's a hot seller on eBay right now, you have to either have a lot of time on your
hands searching through thousands of category listings or stumble across hot sellers by luck.
In the meantime I developed a proprietary way to determine hot items selling on eBay and I'm bringing the first
of many updates in this TIP. It takes hours of research and analysis, but it's worth it.
Check out two eBay sellers that are cashing in on hip-hop jewelry or as it's commonly known among rap fans, "bling-bling".
If this sounds like foreign language to you...you're not alone. It did to me the first time I saw it.
But I can't argue with the success these eBay sellers are having. Let's take a closer look at exactly how HOT these
items are:
EBAY ID: rocksofice@aol.com (63)
Rocksofice is closing 98% of his listings. This is incredible considering that our research indicates successful
closing of eBay's auction listings is approx. 53%.
Take a look at his listings for the past 60 days:

Notice the 'keywords" he's using in his Titles:
Iced Out
Bling-Bling
Hip-Hop
Balla (?)
Silver Iced Out
Platinum Iced Out
Hip-Hop Hot Bling
Rap
Gangsta
Here's why I believe he's as successful as he is:
1. He starts the bidding at $1.00 and draws a lot of interest
2. He's using the right keywords in his titles
3. He's shipping fast and getting good feedback
He's averaging about 12 bids per item successfully closed at an average price of approx. $24.00. Based on the information
we got from the sources below, his typical wholesale price is about 6.00 each watch. His gross profit on each item
is 400%.
rocksofice could definitely improve his listings. For example his pic's are HUGE. If he reduced the size I think
he'd get even more bids than he's getting now. Obviously though, he's doing MORE rights things than wrong.
Learn and profit...
EBAY ID: luxurious_jewels (11)
Using the same basic strategy, this new seller is closing 100%!
He or she doesn't have the number of listings that rocksofice has. I wouldn't be surprised though if they start
to wise up to the situation and list more.
