what to sell and where to find it

With the busiest shopping season of the year here; you have no time to waste.

What to sell is a very personal. Its just like an artist; you must have a passion for it and be willing to put in those long hours.

Where to find items:

New

Location, Location and Location.  Are you willing to pay for Freight fees? Depending on what you want to sell; it may not be practical for you to have items shipped to you. The expense and the headaches with damages; whether concealed or damaged during transit.

For new product check your Local MarketPlace. I like to attend all sorts of shows, from Fashion to Electronics.

·         Google your favorite brand and find out what Trade Shows they attend.

·         Chamber of Commerce – ask for a link or fax of Manufacturers in your area

·         Trade Magazines

·         Convention Centers

·         Alibaba – this site is a great source for importing anything from all over Asia, South America and other Eastern Countries – This will require a structure plan as you will have to deal with Customs

·         Trade Shows – attend Bridal Shows, Car Shows, Home & Garden and so on. These are great places to obtain Free reading material and guides to the sources available to you

·         Team up with a local store in your area. You can help each other out.

Used

·         Start with your Garage  - Always check there first.

·         Garage sales are a good place to find rare items. You would be surprised how many items are being sold for pennies; when you can sell it for hundreds? I found a rare book once, I was so excited; No I did not sell it.

·         Check the classifieds for Going Out of Business Sales – make them an offer

·         Shop Craigslist for stuff people do not want and even the Free section

·         Contact your local City – They usually get rid of old furniture and machinery; ask if they have a department that would handle the sale or donations of the items

·         Demolition Companies – That’s right – They have the list of buildings that will need to be evacuated and the can supply to you the information. These projects usually have money set aside to have other companies haul out the furnishings etc…. You can pull-out, doors, windows etc…..

·         Antique Stores – Now, they are in business (most) because they know the value of the items. Check in though, you may get lucky.  

·         Salvation Army – My suggestion for the Salvation Army or Goodwill stores is shop to the ones closer the higher income areas. You have a better chance of finding some designer names. Now, any of these stores you will have a good change of also finding those priceless items.

Seasonal

Now would be late to start shopping for those deals. However, you can start this season for next year. Shop the day after Christmas and New Years. The department stores will have all the left over décor on sale!! Yeah! Some for you and some for sale. Get the idea???

Next… we will talk about selling on other sites …. And provide you with the latest eBbay News.   We will call it from now on eBay Funnies!  J
