The highest profit source I have found bar none!

What's selling on eBay at the moment, have you discovered any profitable dropshippers or wholesalers?

Adron Wood here. I just wanted to let you know that of all the sources I have used for products to sell on eBay, the best has been Local Actions! Let me give you a few examples: This past December I bought a film processor for $10.50 and it closed for $1136! Another item I bought was a pallet of Misc stuff that cost me $140. After all items were sold off of that pallet I made over $2200! That is the kind of profit margin I like, but of course that is not going to happen all the time. The average profit I make is 100%. That means that if I buy an item for $50 I can expect a sale price of at least $100 or more.
That is the great part about these auctions but it does take some time to learn how to do it right. You can see a some examples of items I have on eBay now if you look up my eBay ID: localauctionprofits.com* (don't forget the asterix on the end). My listing numbers rise and fall based on the amount of local auctions in my area. In the winter this is my primary income as I have a seasonal business in the timber industry for about 7 months out of the year. Drop me a note and tell me what you think.

2. I have an idea of selling Pet Nail Trimmers (As Seen On TV)and Aqua Globes. These are the pictures Image

Seems they are selling well on eBay. However, the shipping cost of mailing an individual item from China to US is too expensive. I hope someone in US is interested in this business of selling on eBay. If you are the one, please email or MSN me at ="mailto:pocky_300@hotmail.com">pocky_300@hotmail.com.


Regards
Marty
P.S. My eBay ID is Embroided, you can check it out.

By local actions do you mean buying at local places such as flea markets for really cheap prices?

Finally got back to post a reply today.
Local auctions are where products are sold live and in person in your town or a city nearby. There you attend the auction personally and bid on items that you want. Due to the limited audience there are often products that you can buy there that sell for much higher prices on eBay! I am working on a new for 2009 guide to teach you how to buy items at these auctions for amazing profits!

A lot of people are using www.localbargainfinder.co.uk to find collection-only bargains listed on ebay, either for personal use, or for splitting and resale on a second ebay ID.

The site also supports collection only in the USA, Canadaand Australia

Local auction houses can be very effective, but like all auctions, prices can get out of control really quickly if the wrong people are around bidding at the time.

Police and customes auctions usually bring some interesting products, but are usually we canvassed by dealers so your chances may be low of buying at a profitable price.

If you want to deal in second hand products, I would suggest looking at yard sales, weekend markets, even thrift shops. You could be surprized to see how far $20.00 goes in these types of markets.

Another option for these types of products is liquidated stock, most way under original retail value, and way under wholesale value as well!

You have to know what you're doing, but it can be a great resource for products when wholesale price just isn't good enough to compete.

You're right. local auctions are a great source for cheap products. I always keep my eye on our local auctions. With the economy in the state it is there's lots of auctions taking place. A great source for products.
