Graham Waite`
When you were at school you were probably told do your homework and hated it. But doing your eBay research really can be homework that can put you in good stead for the future.This is just one top tip succesful internet and eBay entreprenuer can offer.
Do your homework and research on eBay.Also spend a couple of hours at local auctions every weekend. These are his top tips for making the kind of money that could end up allowing you to give up your day job faster than you might imagine.
What entrepreneurs like Dale Calvert point out is eBay is a highly competitive market place especially if you are try to compete in the main stream markets of electronics and games and the like.
Let us not forget eBay began as an antique and collectibles market. That's the true foundation of eBay not a glorified Walmart.
To be a serious player in the antiques and collectibles markets you have to have your head screwed on right, do your research and have your finger on the pulse both on and off line.
Dale Calvert was able to pick up an old 1898 Harpers review from his local auctioneers a while ago. This sort of gem would have illuded him had he not know his market.
He did his homework by checking on eBay and saw that it had sold for $500. With that knowledge neatly tucked into his brain he headed for the auction. He bought the book for $40 and sold it for $480 within the week.
On another visit to an auction house he was able to buy some presentation screens which he picked up for only $225 and managed to flip them using ebay for a $1500 pay day. Nice work if you can get it!
So to work with eBay you don't have to think BIG to make a couple of extra thousand a month. It can all be quite humble really. Just keep an eye on the local newspaper for ads on auctions. Going on line to check the inventory and then cross checking that with what has sold on eBay and for how much.It's that easy but few do it.
Just apply Dale Calvert's simple formula to success every time it's as easy as 1,2,3 never bid more than 50% of the eBay selling price and you are on a winner 99 times out of a hundred pretty much guaranteed.
Doubtless you could might have some competition but when you think about it will probably be handful of bidders out of may be 100 or so attending the auction.It's common sense really less bidding usually means lower prices.
Their is direct corelation between the number of bidders and the prices paid.But when you take it on to eBay you have just increased your auction to a market consisting of possibly thousands and this will reflect in the price paid as well.
Remember that the more you hang out at local auctions and do the eBay research the more you get to grips with this quaint concept of antiques and collectibles. People collect anything and everything and the more you get to know what is considered precious and what junk the better you will become and the more distant your day job will get.
