Vintage Barbie dolls still in their boxes, clothes, accessories, furniture. I make more money on Barbie's Japan shoes than most anything else. I now travel the country "hunting" in estate sales, garages, attics, yard sales for vintage Barbie goods.
What I did was take one of my passions, collecting Mattel Barbie dolls, and turn it into a very profitable business. Many people have been successful on eBay in this manner - turning their hobbies into a business, after all, you are an expert on the subject!
I began by cleaning out my Barbie closet of stuff that I had seconds of, or that I did not want anymore and listing them for auction. Most went like hotcakes! Some did not sell the first time, but did the second.
Soon after I opened my first eBay Store and populated it with around 50 items to sell while keeping several items on auction so I can market my store effectively and econmically.
I have been very successful in building my eCommerce business over the 6 years since I have been on eBay and have achieved eBay Power Seller status. It does not happen overnight and took a lot of hard work, research, resiliance, patience and perseverence.
Find your OWN niche. Find out what no one else is selling. Forget 90% of most electronics - WAY TOO saturated except for the Hot List items , the latest gadget, Gucci or Prada bag...
Also visit the Seller Central What's Hot http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html links on eBay - there are several resources to assist you in choosing what kind of items to sell and even when to sell them.
Well, you would also be surprised what would be profitable...I sold some religious audiobooks right away and had some Beatles CD's not sell. You just never know...
One other thing, since eBay gives you the has the potential to market to the ENTIRE world which includes now BILLIONS of people looking at your items, if you limit yourself to the US and Canada, you also limit yourself to those markets if you refuse to ship outside of them. I have shipped my Barbie items to Singapore, China, Germany, Iceland, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Toga, Australia, Columbia, Eqypt, Austria, United Kingdom, and Brazil with not one problem.

I am a jewelry dealer from Bangkok, Thailand. I need to fine someone who might want to do home base business without financial back up. All you need is a website that you can post my items for sales. You do the selling, receiving the money. I do the shipping – drop ship. If you are interested in working together, send me a note. I have PayPal account for this business.

I sell mostly electronics and computer related items.
It is a second income for me.
I get all of most of my deals from http://www.dealchatter.com , which already shows me the good deals to buy and sell.
