Record eBay Sales on Monday!

I am writing this with a bit of unabashed glee!  On Monday, my sales generated me an all-time high in profits.  It’s not close.  Monday blew every previous day of eBay sales out of the water with a one day profit of over $630!!!

I do have to brag a little.

My closest day before Monday was in early June when I had a day which netted me $212.14 exactly.  That was a great day.  But this Monday was even better.

The main difference though was that my previous high eBay sales profit record was set amond many items, over 10, while this Monday only 4 sales were made. 

I was lucky enough, or should I say skilled enough, to find a product that sold for $540 more than what I purchased it for less than a week earlier.

What did I sell you ask?  A “Professional Audio Mixer”.  I am not even sure what it is still.  I know it is used by DJs and recording studios.  I bought it at a government sale which I found through the Better Sources software I have been raving about.

I got it at $120 above the minimum bid of $100, so I paid $220 for it.  But as Chris suggests, I had researched it before I bought it.  Really I researched it while I was buying it.

This was a big purchase for me so I was nervous although confident.  I really did not want to muck things up and lose $200+ on a single item.  Believe it or not, I still do have some stinkers from time to time!

That didn’t happen so today is a celebration!  I am going to take my Wife out for a nice dinner and perhaps catch Step Brothers at the movie theatre.  It looked kinda funny to us and we haven’t seen a comedy lately.  We did catch The Dark Knight and I enjoyed it for the most part, but I am ready to see something a bit more funny and a bit less dark.

Then I will come home and start looking for more products to sell.  More days like Monday and I will quite my real job!

Wish me luck.

Wahooo! That eBay Wholesale Product Tool is Out!

Ok, it is like 5:00 in the morning.  I just woke up to some news that is going to make you very happy.  That product finding tool that I wrote about in the blog recently and that I have had the privilage of beta testing has been released.

Unfortunately for me, there is no affiliate program yet so I will not be able to make a commission if you go there and order.  But since I got the software for free I guess I will not pout too bad.  But if you want to wait to order it until you can use my affiliate link I will not complain either. 

The site is www.bettersources.com which is kind of weird because that is the name of his guide that he sells at his drop shipping sucks site (that one IS an affiliate link).

If you want a really cool way to find products to sell then I do recommend you give it a try.  Maybe do me a favor and when you order send an email to Chris and tell him that you found out about the site from my blog.  Who knows, when he makes his affiliate program maybe I will get the credit.

Well, I have to get to work.  Yeah, I know, I still haven’t quit my day job.  I am doing well on eBay but it is not stable enough yet for me to do it full time.  I agree with all the comments I got that I need to have at least 5 – 6 months worth of bills in savings.

Enjoy Chris’ new software.  Wish me luck!

Buyer’s Remorse? Naah. But I am no longer using WorldWide Brands for eBay.

In my last post I mentioned that I got some software from Christopher Bernard the guy behind the Dropshipping Sucks website.  This software allows me to find products on different wholesalers and other places with great speed and ease.  It also allows me to research products which I must admit I have not done yet.

I love the software.  It is very cool and I find myself using it even to find products I buy for myself.  It is just very good at finding products for cheap.

However, there has been one downside.  A little while ago I bit the $299 bullet and invested in a company called WorldWide Brands.  I was and am still happy with it as clearly a lot of thought and time has gone into the development of their product.  I am just not using it anymore due to my using Chris’ software.

I read through the user agreement and I cannot resell my login to anyone else.  So I guess I am stuck with something that I no longer use.  I will not call it a $299 mistake because as I said, before I got this software I was using WorldWide Brands somewhat to find products for my eBay sales.

On that note, I do seem to have peeked somewhat.  I am consistantly selling and making money on eBay but I do not seem to be able to take it to the next level.  I am almost certianly going to try selling elsewhere maybe on Amazon or on my own website.  Yikes!  I would have to build a website!

I suppose it is goodbye forever to my $299 but I have benefitted from the experience.  Now I must get back to eBay.  And, unfortunately, to my real job which I STILL have.

Wish me luck!
