Making Money On EBAY
Auction Deals Delivered To Your MailBox
by Sydney Johnston
A few weeks ago, I received a copy of Auction Profits, by K. Gajda. This young man discussed the poverty of being a college student (as a parent of a college age daughter, I think WE'RE the ones to claim poverty! :-)
I decided to experiment with some of his methods for myself and here's what happened.
Make Money on Ebay - Deal #1:
I was able to buy the Dell Inspiron 1100 Notebook for $674.10 + free shipping.I sold it for $910 for a profit of <$235.90>
The shipping from my supplier was free, so I made another $23.71 on the shipping.

Total profit for this first experimental week: $594.53
Now, this isn't much of a profit if it takes a lot of time. And, if you aren't focused and don't specialize, it could eat up way too much of this precious commodity. However, one of the sources from Karol's book delivers deals right to my email box. Using the information from these emails, and opening a window to eBay, I can determine whether I want to do these deals in a matter of minutes.
A downside: it took more time than I would like to have put together the listings. I didn't do them my techs did. Still, it took up some of their working time. However, in the future, this won't be as big an issue because I intend to specialize in these electronics, for two reasons:
1. They are very, very salable.
2. They are higher priced items. This method isn't worth it, to me anyway, for only a few dollars in profit.
Since we already have some electronics listings created, it will be a simple matter in the future to make minor changes and have our listings ready to go in a few minutes.
A powerful upside: I have <no risk> because I have a minimum of 30 days to return the merchandise. This is plenty of time to make sure that I have a sale. Of course, I already know I have a salable product before I order it because I do my homework.
