To be able to make a part-time income on eBay you need a steady
supply of products that are constantly in demand.
There is a serious problem with obtaining products from
wholesalers or drop shippers. Basically, anyone else can also
obtain the same products and undercut you pricing on eBay.
It's very hard to regularly make a
part time income on eBay
with products that can be obtained by virtually anyone. You need
a product that is unique to you, a product that would be
difficult for anyone to copy.
But you may not have the skills or knowledge to create your own
product. So what do you do?
I think that I may have the answer for you. There is a huge
market on eBay for second-hand books. Over four thousand are
sold each week. That's a big market and you should be able to
create a part-time income for yourself.
The great thing about second hand books is that they are readily
available but not from wholesalers and drop shippers. So this
eliminates the problem of people undercutting your price.
The potential profit on a book can be quite large. For example
you may buy a book for $20 and resell it for $40 to $50. That is
a big profit margin and I doubt if you can find many other
products that match that profitability.
To be able to successfully sell second hand books you will need
to get a list of which types of books are in demand. For example
is a James Bond book more treasured than an Enid Blyton.book?
You will also need to learn how to identify and describe the
condition of each book that you sell. This is vital for creating
an advert on eBay that will attract potential buyers. You will
need to be able to asses and describe the condition of the
spine, hinges, cover, pages, dust jacket and many other aspects
of the book.
You'll be amazed at the sort of places where you can buy
second-hand books for resell, such as junk shops, thrift shops,
charity shops, garage sales, estate sales, car boot sales. You
can often buy a book for a very low price at these places and
resell for a huge profit.
So, you can see that there is a lot to learn about buying and
selling second hand books, but the profit margin makes it all
worth while.
