Want to see how the Best items to sell on ebay work.
Folks have been asking me for definite examples of what I am selling and how much profit I am making. This is the best part of all of this!! Without giving away too much ( remember, buy the book! ), here is a few examples demonstrating how much money I've made just in the week. If this doesn't sound great to you, then I don't know what would!
I got this amazing sweater, a brand I have never seen in a thrift store in all my years of shopping, but a name that I have known because I have seen it at a top-end mall that I have been to. Low and behold, after doing only one minute of study ( looking up your products doesn't take much time - merely a stroke of a few keys and wah-lah, instant appraisals galore ) i figured out how much to list it for and after a 5 day auction, I made $48 profit! So here is the profit and loss on just that one item :
Auction end price + shipping received =$64
Shipping = $5.15
Paypal fee's = $2.17
TOTAL TIME SPENT ON THAT ITEM FROM TIME I PICKED IT UP UNTIL TIME IT WAS SHIPPED = APPROX 10 minutes
So I did ten minutes of work, and I made $48 profit. So does that suggest I am worth about $250-$300 an hour?? Food for thought
I bought a coat of a certain fur, from a certain era ( curious? Buy the book ). I was buzzed to see it was $8.98 and seventy five % off on top of that, so I paid a gigantic $2.25 for it! Barely the cost of the thread that holds the coat together! Yippee! Why was this fur coat so inexpensive, you ask? It required a TON, and I mean a TON, of work done - work that was'doable' though. Yes, it would most likely take a few hours to really get this sucker put back together, and my time is worth something. There are occasions when my girl is playing on the floor in front of me, and I cannot leave her to go on the computer and do work, but I am simply just sitting on the sofa as she plays. Instead of watching TV, I turn that time that I may instead be spending making 0 bucks, into time that I am making an investment in fixing an item that I'm able to sell later on! I'm not taking time away from making profits another way because I can not leave my girl alone, but what I can do is bring my needle and thread and the coat and sit on the couch as she plays with her toys and work on this coat. And that's exactly what i did.
Cost of item = $2.25
Shipping = $10.15
Ebay fee's = $6.27 (listing + final value fee's minus my "top-rated seller discount of 20%)
Paypal fee's = $5.75
TOTAL PROFIT = $163!!
In this last example, you can see that my time on that jacket was worth about $80 an hour.
Don't think that these examples are just two rare examples. This is the kind of money that I'm making on at least 50% of my auctions. These are items that I'm really acquainted with, require no research on my part, I already have photos for, or don't need much effort on my part. If I spend five minutes on those kinds of auctions, I am still making $100-$200 an hour primarily based on those'filler' auctions. Sound good?? I believe so!
