I always chose to go to the local Goodwill for great finds. You can find vintage items there that earn you much money. Fisher price vintage is a great seller and also any sport equipment in good condition. I once found some rare dolls I used to have and bought them as a reminder for $20.00 , auctioned them and made $280.00. Good luck.

The best way to make money online is ebay if you can find direct importer and having them dropship the products for you. If you are novice to ebay then do lot of research. Usually you get frustrated first few days because you might not sell anything and end up owing money to ebay for listing fees. Keep out of products that are sold directly by manufacturers or importers because you are not going to be able to compete with them. There are still some new products that importers and Manufacturers dont sell on ebay so you still have a chance. Once you get into ebay and build customers, even when the big ones come in, you will already have your customerbase and keep making money. Right product, Right Timing is the Key.

Be careful about ebay fees. Ebay charges fees even if your auction end unsuccessfully. Do a lot of research to find, best categories, (cheap categories that might fit that product). Sometimes one product can fit in many different category and you might end up paying double the fees if you put on wrong category.

I saw a guys listing a 49cc atv under eBay Motors > Powersports > ATVs > Other Makes and paying $30 for each listing and $60 when the item sells. He has a good profit margin on this item and he is making about $100 each time. But there is a special category for the same product where the fee would have been only $6 for listing and another $6 if the item was sold.
Instead of making $100 each item he would have made $ 148. He was lucky that he was still making money even after paying such hefty fee. Not all items you have so much margin. So do your homework before you list anything.


Myself I prefer own website and advertise using google adwords and overture. I don't do that any more though because I do wholesale and let other people do the retail and I help them do the retial by setting up google adwords account, merchant account etc.

I import Fitness equipment, ATVS , Dirt Bikes, Scooters, Motorcycle from China. If any of you guys want to sell it on ebay or your own website, I can dropship it for you. E-mail me at onlywholesale2006@yahoo.com

look on ebay for things that you know a lot about and then when you find a DEAL, buy it and then resell it for more, make sure you know its a win win buy,

I bought a gameboy advance with 6 accesories once on there for about $27, which was a GREAT deal, turned around and sold the stuff individually and made about $50 back.

This is just a little example, of course you'll want to buy things that will make you more money, but try that out. Plenty of potential to make money.

Or go online and purchase things "wholesale". Just type in wholesale in ur search and see what it brings up. Buy something to start off and then sell on ebay .

Good Luck
