The article "Top Secret Ebay Powerseller Technique: Classifieds Produce Auction Power" is about auctions, it was created by Tim Gilberg.
I was broswing through all of the classified sections, and stumbled on Wanted to Buy.
I notiecd that human being were placing ads for items they wanted to purchase. Great!
I could do this! The whole eBay market place was a complete turnaround from normal retail where you spend a huge amount of money to brnig a customer to a brick and mortar store. The buyers are always there, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
You just have to get the product at a good cost.Before I even place an ad in the local paper I will use the eBay search tab to see if there is any demand for the prodcut I am targeting. I purchased some used dss satellite receiver equipment from a local garage sale for $10/each.
I went to eBay and tyepd in the make and model number.
This looked good! The search indicated that the receivers alnoe went for $60 to $90, depending on the make and model. I then checked compleetd auctions for dss satellite equipment. I saw that the remote controls were selling for $15-$19, and then I saw human being sell the access cards separately for $90-$185 . That meant that I could make up to $250 per complete system.Jackpot! - I was really excited!! I placed a classified ad in the Wanted to Buy section stating "Cash for used DSS satellite equipment".
I ran the ad every Sunday, and would average 6-8 calls per week.
This resulted in 5 satellite sysetms I could break down into components with an average of $200 profit on each system.
Utilizing ads is a great way to get a steady stream of hot products to sell on eBay.
Many of my stduents have implemented this technique for a great monthly revenue stream.I was very successful using this approach, and I didn't have to go to the garage sales, etc to find product. With a $9 ad, human being would call me wanting to sell their items. Now, that's a great system! Another calssified ad success story, and there is many: Sue E from Montana used one of the eBay hot products categories I supplied - VHS Concert Videos.
She placed a $9 classified ad in the Wanted to Buy section listing "Cash paid for VHS Concert Videos". Sue's avergae cost for the tapes is $4, and she normally is able to buy several. The selling cost for each tape ranges between $29-$89 on eBay depending on the aritst. Wow!
Sue is a stay at home mom with trhee kids. She spends a few hours a week doing this and brings in $300-$500 per month.Tim Gilberg is able to proivde information and insight from a unique
