What to Sell?

When people find out that I am a long time power seller, nine times out of ten, they mention that they would like to start selling on eBay but that they do not know what to sell. The beauty of eBay though is that you can sell most anything, but that does make it a bit overwhelming.



My advice is always "Sell whatever you can get cheaper than people will pay for it.". Buy low, sell high. It is that easy. Figuring out what will give you that price differential is the key though.



The best thing that you can do is to come up with a list of at LEAST 30 things that you would like to sell and then research how much you can get those things for. Next you need to research how much these items sell on eBay and, more importantly how many sell compared to how many are listed. Keep in mind that you want history on this, so look at completed listings, not open listings.



Andale.com has an awesome research tool that you can use for about $8 a month. I would recommend though that you make your list then narrow it down with eBay first though and take your short list to andale.



Anyway, look out for more articles detailing things I have researched. If you have any you would like to add, email me!
