It is several orders of magnitude better then anything else I have tried. There is no reason to do the professional versions so far as I can tell.
If I am just updating inventory numbers, I will just use the ebay mass editor. What you do to be profitable part time is probably not going to scale up with you full time, expect to have to move into different models to find enough volume. I knew this was the case at the time, but I felt safe doing so because I had enough money to cover me for quite awhile and I left my old job in such a way that I could get my old job back with almost absolute certainty.Īdvice: I would have failed without starting cash to fall back on, so save for awhile before you do it. I was lucky on some of my early storage auctions, and I took the jump to full time before I had actually fleshed it out entirely. After those few trial runs, I had developed an unrealistic model.
Resale/flipping was appealing as it had a low barrier to entry. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back to school or start my own business. I had saved up a lot in cash over a 5 year period. When I went back to work I started doing trial runs on the weekends doing things like buying storage auctions. Felt pretty solid on the computer side of things pretty quickly. I was out of work for a ~1month due to an illness and sold half the crap I owned on ebay. I spent a lot more time thinking about the business side of it then the practical every day aspects of it. I have used amazon, craigslist, consignment, and flea markets to sell in the past but I now focus primarily on ebay, hence my crappy user name. The niche is a field of consumer products with mostly practical applications, but it does have significant number of collectors as well. I started off doing selling everything, but I gradually started to specialize in a single niche. I have been doing this for about 3 years, most of that time I have been full time. It has been talked about here before, so I am not worried about people discovering a secret, I am just trying to not advertise people into my sector and write them a how-to guide. If you figure it out, or my ebay name that is great, please don't post it here. My niche is pretty small and could not handle a flood of competitors. I don't mind helping people out, but it is not in my interest to generate competition within my specific niche. Only things that I am not willing to talk about are my personal details and specifically what I sell. I am not sure how much interest there is, as there are people who make a lot more then me, but I am bored and don't feel like working today.
