Being an active eBayer, I’ve been asked about products to sell. A common question is, “Where can I purchase products such as new release CD’s DVD’s and Video Games for Playstation and Xbox at a 75% to 100% discount?” Well folks, this sort of discount–on this type of merchandise (new) is not available from Wholesalers or Dropshippers. Why? Primarily the competitive nature of the electronics industry and simple supply and demand.

There are two types of sellers on eBay: those that sell stuff as they would in a garage sale and those that constantly buy and sell merchandise for a profit. If you’re from the first category you don’t have to worry too much about what products to sell: you only have one or a couple of like items to sell any way.

If you are selling products for profit, however, there are some strategies to help you generate increasing profits. You see, there are also two subtypes of expert eBay sellers: the ones who buy large quantities of product and resell them and the ones who deal with original, hard to find, niche products. Let’s have a look at the first subtype:

Usually, when you buy large amounts of identical or similar items, you get a discount. This is true with most goods and it stands as the basis of numerous eBay business strategies. You can then take the bulk products and list individually or in smaller lots. You make your profit from asking a higher price than what you paid, but still lower than the prices available in stores. Finding the right balance is essential, since you want to generate enough profit without listing a discouragingly high price. Your choice of products to sell is varied, and specializing on a certain type of merchandise is usually dependent on your personal taste or likes/dislikes.

The second subtype of eBay seller deals with rare items or niche merchandise. Some examples of products of these products are china vases, antique books, action figures, model airplanes, archeological discoveries, meteors, etc. The market for these products is smaller and more exclusive, but the asking prices are also higher. Just one sale can bring you a small fortune. Niche markets are hard to enter, compared to selling cameras, DVD players or balloons. In order to start your business successfully selling rare items you need to become an expert in the particular field you’re looking at.

Going back to the original question…. With the incredible popularity of those products (CDs, DVDs, etc.) and their ease to package and ship, people want to sell them. So where can you find these products at a great price? Liquidators! Yes that’s right, Liquidators! “What exactly are Liquidators?” you ask. Well, a Liquidator is a company who buys surplus, overruns, bankruptcies, and “going out of business” inventory etc. They purchase the merchandise for pennies on the dollar and in turn pass this savings on to you.

There are many Liquidators who would have just what you are looking for. There are General Merchandise Liquidators who basically purchase and sell all sorts of “stuff.” And, there are Liquidators who specialize and only purchase and sell merchandise in a specific niche, say electronics. An Electronics Liquidator will purchase products from music stores, or department stores with an electronics dept, or movie rental stores, or electronic stores that are going out of business, declaring bankruptcy or who have overstock. Only from that inventory would they have some of the latest CD’s, DVD’s and Video Games.

Liquidators are similar to Wholesalers and Dropshippers so you may have to become a member to have access to their inventory. Most require no fee to become a member, while some may charge a nominal fee. However, Liquidators have a set number of units you must buy in order to get a great price. A Liquidator will purchase inventory in bulk and therefore will want to sell the merchandise in cases or lots to move and recoup their investment.

So, Yes. You can make Good Money Selling New Release CD’s, DVD’s, Video Games and the like on your eBay auction by choosing the proper supplier. But remember, selling on eBay is all about research. You must research the product you are interested in selling. What is the best price for the item? What is the best selling price you can get for that item? Also, research that item’s market to see just how many people are selling this product on eBay as well.

Hi folks,

Want to JV with me?

I’m writing to you today with an exclusive invitation to
partner with me for a major joint venture coming up in a few
short weeks.

This event could mean some BIG commissions in your pocket
in a short period of time.

jumped on board. And when it was all over, many took home
large 4 figure commissions.

Interested?

The only way you can get in on this is by invitation-only.
So here’s your chance to get on board immediately.

This event is the sequel to Dave Lovelace’s huge Best of
eBay event held back in September, 2005.

If you missed it, Dave convinced 10 top auction experts and
coaches to donate one of their quality products to create a
limited-edition “Ultimate Auction Training Toolkit” for a
drastic discount for 7 days. Thus the name “Best of..”

If you missed it the first time, here’s your chance to
cash-in because Dave is going to launch the Best of eBay II
on April 11.

Just look who is already involved:

Jim Cockrum
Mike Enos

Jason James
Barbara Ling
etc

Check this out. You can profit in 3 ways by promoting this
event.

(that’s a minimum of $48.50 per sale)

2 – You’ll also earn 25% from sales generated by those who
you invite/refer to promote this event.

3 – Dave is putting up cash Bonuses for the top 3 promoters!

Best of eBay was a huge success and created alot of buzz
and excitement back in September.

I’m seriously expecting that to increase this time around,
so I knew you would want to get in on this limited JV event.

Here’s where to sign up as an affiliate:

By the way, Dave will be providing all the promo emails for
this event. All you have to do is copy and paste.

It’s just that simple.
