How To Make $30K to $60K A
Year Part-Time On eBay Without Ever Buying Or Selling
Anything On eBay's Site!
EZ Money Maker #7: "An
Unusual Way to Make Money Using
eBay"
Strategy: To supply sellers in your local area with
wholesale merchandise and goods they can resale on
eBay.
Timing: This strategy can be used year 'round
but you'll probably find the majority of your sales will
come September to May of each year when eBay is most
active.
I believe that this 'additional profit
center' to your eBay business is completely new and
original. I have never seen anyone else do it. Now if I
could just get some venture capitalist to back me on this
one…wow…we are talking BIG business here!
OK, I've
kept you waiting long enough, and you may not even think
it's such a great idea!
Here goes:
1. Remember
that I said local auctions are a good place to selectively
buy things to sell on eBay? And that the reason you want to
be selective is because there are so many people buying at
local auctions to resell on eBay?
2. Next, remember
the chapter I talked about buying close-out merchandise? And
how you could buy in quantity at prices way below
wholesale?
Now, put 1 and 2 together.
Here's
the way I've done it:
Remember I told you I bought 72
Star War I watches? Well I've sold a few on eBay at terrific
prices. But I still have about 25 left. OK, I'm basically
lazy (remember I told you that in the letter that sold you
this Report?) and I don't feel like listing or packing or
riding down to the post office one at a time to mail them to
my customers. I'm really lazy!
Now, I bought each one
for $1.50. The wholesale price from the dealers when they
were sold to retail shops new was $4.50. I have a track
record of selling them on eBay for prices from $11.00 to
$17.00.
What eBay seller wouldn't want these watches
to sell when:
They KNOW that they will make money on
them based on my track record of selling them!
So
I put flyers up around town on free bulletin boards, put
little ads for $10 in the local 'shopper' and hand a little
card to everyone I meet at the local auctions houses which
says:
"Looking For Proven, Tested and
Quality Merchandise to Re-Sell On
eBay?" I
supply eBay sellers with quality merchandise at
below wholesale prices. Ask for our FREE
current offerings, price list and our eBay track
record on each item. Dealers only. Not open to the
public. NYS Re-Sale Tax ID# required. Call Dave
@ (315) 733-1383
|
If someone calls here's what I
do:
Ask
for their NYS tax ID#.
Capture their name, address, phone and fax number and
put it in a database.
Then
I fax them a few pages of my current items like
this:
Description |

Star War Watches w/Light Saber Case

3.20 ea take all |
$14.95-$19.95 |
$11-$17 | -------- TERMS: Cash, bank
check, money-order only. No returns. * eBay sales records
available on request.
Here's how this works and
why it works so well for me:
# 1 You're only dealing
with individuals who have a Tax ID#- so you don't have to
collect sales tax and fill out forms, etc.
# 2 You're
supplying a needed service.
# 3 Your inventory will
have a faster 'turnover' rate than if you list each item
individually on eBay.
# 4 You won't make as much
money, but you'll get money faster.
# 5 You can work
out of your basement or garage or living room- you don't
need a storefront or warehouse- yet (check with local codes
about working from your home before starting)
# 6
This has the potential to be a really big business- open a
warehouse in every city in your state selling to eBay and
online sellers! (if you do, make sure to send me my cut of
the
business!) | |
