| Apart from your own products, what has been the best product for re-sell that you have purchased? |

Easy, dotcombuilder (http://www.dotcombuilder.com).
These sites use to sell for hundreds on ebay a few years back - now days competition is more tense and it's difficult to sell even one. At the time you could set one up, simply by registering a domain name and hosting account, list it on eBay and sell it within a few days.
I've even saw a couple sell for over £1000. |

wow - nice link. I think. How much information!!!??
I've found some of the best items to resell on eBay are bought from eBay in the first place! Badly listed items, the old mis-spelt items, early bargains (before people catch on how poular a product will be), items ending at odd hours of the night, and even wholesale lots sold individually - all have given me a fair return at some point over the years. |

My best profits came from trendy items and hard to find items such as the Elmo dolls, PS3's, Xbox's, etc.
Electronics were the main categories I sold in...............................but not anymore.  |

How was the markup on electronics. Are the margins slight? I've sometimes read that it is easy to lose a lot of money selling electronics on eBay. |

Hmmm... PS3's were not that hard to find in the UK when they were launched. Shame that Sony actually got their act together with the European supplies prior to launch. It's the first console in the UK not to fetch a premium during launch week.
I was gutted, but it was a great excuse to keep it for myself  |

| you want to pick something unique and something you know. You can take a already popular idea and repackage to make it sand out drom the crowd. |

webkinz is a big trend now, check eBay pulse, top 3 every day.
Check your classifieds for Wii, Xbox 360's, PS3's, PSP's for Cheap , new in box, sometimes college kids need cash.
Always look out for whats hot with kids, catch the morning news, it speaks to mom's, but ask the mom's what their kids want, that's whats selling. |

| Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:37 am Post subject: How about eBooks as a product? |
|
|
Hello everyone I am new to this forum! Found it as I was looking for the owner of an eBook I bought, her name is Avril. The seller I bought the eBook from said it came with resell rights, but no documents to that effect and nothing in the ebook, so I wonder.
But anyways, I have found that eBooks seem to sell the best for us on eBay. So far in retail stores, I have been selling CD's and DVD's of eBooks as well as seeds and photography. Services also sell well as someone always needs something done.
The key for us was to learn and then learn how to do things ourselves, so we learned from scratch how to do just about it all, so we wouldn't have to rely on anyone and have to pay extra costs. We started back in 1998 on the web and at eBay in 2000.
There have been a lot of bumps along the way, some nasty buyers and sellers, but still I think it is worth it in the long run as we plan to keep at it another hundred years or so. lol. But really we enjoy what we do, we actually do more than just resell ebooks, we also publish them and design them for us and others, including right down to the eCovers!
Hope this helps with a good product idea that sells!
Thanks.

My best products come from thrift stores and consignment stores - I'm in a big city and I am amazed every day at what people throw away. I am talking about items with $100-$200 tags on them - brand new that I pay $2-$3 for. Can't beat that.
