How to find stuff to resell on EBAY?

What kind of stuff is profitable reselling from Ebay?

• Hello, So I've been thinking for a while how could I earn some extra money since college is eating all my time so I thought hey maybe Ebay. I live in a country in Europe where basically everything is a little more expensive than anywhere else, and we have this site similar to Ebay in our language where I could resell stuff from Ebay. But I have no idea what kind of stuff is profitable to resell, so I was wondering if I could find some help here. I was thinking maybe video games, but I'm not sure.. Any help? =)

• Answer:

  While I don't know what's popular and scarce in Europe, my advice is to start there. Consider your options, think very niche targets, small markets and hard to get items. Other considerations, small, lightweight objects are easiest to order in bulk and less expensive on overhead. Talk to friends and family if you can't think of anything, there may be something they've been wanting to buy but can't find and it's of no interest to you, so you'd never even know it was scarce. If you have Kijiji.com or Craigslist.com there, check out what people are buying and selling. I don't know the laws of Europe but if it's not illegal to sell tickets for more than you pay, buy a bunch of tickets to an event you know will sell out and then resell them for more.
