Some eBay Tips and Guides

admin June 26, 2021

Searching for sales is the best way to increase your eBay inventory. These tips will help you become a “searcher” more effectively. You can learn in five minutes what took me two years to figure out!

Go online for the sale of used goods. Find for sale in your area. Most of the newspaper online. Craigslist is a good resource. Start looking for a Wednesday or Thursday sale in your area. Cut and paste your location in Notepad (Windows) so that you have plain text. Then I use Microsoft Word in a two column format. I print the list and take it with me.
The area I live in is solid and there is some way to change the name in each. I use Microsoft Streets and Trips. Cut and enter your address in the SEARCH function. Makes a map to print the “pin” of each location. Go to the areas where there are groups to save time and gas.
When you travel to your location to check that people are not advertising in the newspaper. There may be some people there.
Property sales: I have visited some of these. Now I stay away from third party sales. Too often I have to search for items selected by the administrator. The prices will be higher because the organizers have a better idea of the real value. You will compete with many other scavengers. OBJECTIVE … monitor the actual DIY sale! I came across a Ukraine cookbook. I bought a cookbook written in Cyrillic and the other in English. Each book I sell for the dollar and the price of $ 10 and $ 25.
Talk to the seller if you are not busy. Pet your dog, a good comment on the item, even if you don’t buy it. Last weekend I asked the person in charge if he would sell me the Who shirt he was wearing. “Not!” But we shared the story of The Who concert, and he sold me $ 30 worth of $ 20 worth of merchandise.
Even if you are talking to the salesperson (if he is not busy), ask him questions that are not for sale.. I’ve got my spell items chugging … “This is great – Do you have a cookbook, old phone, old radio, 8-track, 8-track player, GI Joes, fishing gear, faux jewelry, postcards? , old letters, cards, holy cards, etc, etc … I can’t say how many times people come up with great things that they never think of selling.
Buying a lot. Inspect and buy all the magazines, 45 bills, jewelry, Lego … you can get cheaper items while you distract them with easy money.
Money – bring a single piece of pocket and $ 5 and $ 10 in the other pocket. I put $ 20 a year in my back pocket; don’t tell the seller that you have a lot of cash.
You might see something like: take it now. “The procession is the tenth part of the law.” While you’re there dreaming that someone else will snatch it from you!
Don’t mention eBay. If you have children or friends, use code words like “Aunt Edith” for eBay. You don’t need to rub your nose on a statement that you will sell the cowboy boots to someone in Australia. If you want to pay less, to show weakness. “Well okay, but there is a little chip here … oh, there is a beginning …”
Ask about the item so you can add information to its description. How old is this? Do you have a strap, instructions and the original box? Where did you get this from? Don’t forget the most important question: is it working?
Bring your business cards to give to others. Networks: make contacts, after having downloaded the product and paid for it, of course.
Finally – HAVE FUN! It will not affect any sale of used goods. You will not get any agreement. Take the opportunity and get out of your area of expertise. Enjoy the weather!
