What small, high priced items can I sell on EBAY?
-
I live in a major city, so I do not have a car. I was wondering if what items I could sell on ebay, that were small and expensive so I could sell fewer items but still make decent money. Something like jewelry. How would I start this. I have about $10,000 to start out with. Thanks.

Answer:
This is everyone's dream....buy low and sell high on E-bay! Ebay itself keeps an ongoing list of what's hot and you can look at it here: http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html Currently the Top Searches are: 1. wii 2. xbox 360 3. ps3 4. {keyword} 5. apple ipod 6. louis vuitton 7. nintendo wii 8. britney spears hair 9. psp 10. coach And sadly, here are the Most Watched Items: $$ AUCTION BUSINESS, SECRETS REVEALED, WITH PROOF $$ THIS IS A SIMPLE WAY ANYONE CAN MAKE 500-800 A DAY The eBOOK GOLDMINE! Make great $$$ selling these ebooks Start Stuffiing Cash Into Your Pockets 24/7 with these! *REAL MONEY MAKING SYSTEM - 100% SCAM-FREE MAKE SELL** I'm only 19 and I quit my job. How? because its SIMPLE! Dont Buy Another Get Rich Quick SCANDAL* Make $$ EBOOK INTERNET IDIOT Makes $1800 an hour, I offer 140% Refund According to these people, Ebay will cause your bank account to explode but in truth the only way to make money is to work at it. Pick items to sell that you know something about. Be fair on starting prices and shipping costs. Protect your seller's rating. Consider this: 63863 items found for hand bag 235816 items found for baseball card 161950 items found for diamond 73222 items found for jewelry 143278 items found for watch 415030 items found for silver 15474 items found for wii It is very hard to get started and compete with companies and people who are willing to make less than a dollar profit per purchase. For items to sell consider local favorites such as sports team memorabilia, local hand crafted art and jewelry, local antiques and artifacts. Consider how much better these items would be for profit: 762 items found for antique paper 895 items found for maritime 402 items found for rose plant 13 items found for amish collectible Choose your items carefully to set yourself apart from the crowd. If you must get into reselling: search, search, search! Find out how much things are actually selling for not just how much they are listed for. Watch auctions and make your investment based on what is selling....not just on what people are offering. Personally, I found something I can get for free that sells for $5.00 each on Ebay.....ahhhhhhhhh the American Dream!

sporting event tickets. If you buy them at the right time and know what your doing you can sell them for a profit, but again, you can also lose a lot if you buy games that no one wants to get bad deals

Be careful - you don't have enough money to buy daimonds wholesale - the markup on jewelry is terrific. I would suggest watching for job lot items, even things that cost pennies from overseas can be good and then you charge a reasonable handling fee. Nothing in life is free without some effort or risk - try to become an expert on something such as stamps, coins, albums, etc and then watch for deals from unsophisticated sellers.

start low and put reserve on it.. the reason why i say start low is because you will get more interest instead starting things really high..

look on ebay and see what is hot, vintage baseball cards are very small and can be worth a small fortune, just look at the Jeter Mantle Bush 2007 topps error card that is selling for 20-200 dollars. also vintage cards are BIG! people will be willing to pay more for their favorite players so that is a plus, and they will pay more for autograph cards and game used. just a thought good luck. oo Mickey Mantle vintage cards worth ALOT just like the 1952 topps set/ cards! :)

jewlery is always good. you can go to garage sales and little pawn shops to pick some up for cheap. then all you have to do is clean them up nice and sell them.

Try selling designer handbags or designer threads. Gucci, Versace, Dior, Chanel, stuff like that.
