eBay Loves Halloween too.

I have always been a fan of halloween, but this year I love it more than ever.

If you have been following my blog you will know that I have been using, praising, and promoting the Better Sources Guide ans an affiliate for a while now.  It quite simply has been the #1 factor in my eBay success.  And this Halloween is no different.

Using the techniques in Chris’s guide I have been able to really cash-in on this halloween.  I have stayed away from costumes but have been selling stuff such as dancing skeletons, headless butlers, crystal balls, and other mostly-animated props.  It has been going very well!  I am sorry to see the season ending.  I have 3 auctions ending today and I think this will have to be the end of my Halloween push.  Getting too late to sell now as Halloween is just 2 weeks away.

The good news is that right after Halloween is the CHRISTMAS season!  The best season by far.  I fully expect to make an additional $7000 this Christmas.  Maybe it is a lofty goal, but it is something I think I can achieve.  Of course I would be happy even with an additional $3000, I don’t want to get too greedy.

So, anyone who is considering selling on eBay along with me, now is the time to get started!  With the current economic slump more people than ever are going to be looking for a deal on eBay.  I have a feeling that retailers will see a big slow down and that eBay will have a big increase.

Oh, and here is a big tip, if you’re going to start selling on eBay this holiday season do not start by looking what a bunch of other people are selling then trying to find the same stuff so you can sell it too.  It is not fair to copy other’s auctions.

Well, wish me luck and I will do the same for you!

Well, wish me luck!

ProductSourcing.com is DOBA, but at least the free trial is no risk for eBayers!

I came across a new site on Tuesday and was pretty excited.  Their website looked very professional and they were offering a free account.  So, why not?

The site was www.ProductSourcing.com and they were offering access to thousands of drop shipped products.

I know, I know, I learned long ago never to use drop shipping.  But this was a free account, so I thought it was worth at least some investigation.  OOPS!

I got all signed up and started looking around.  Something seemed very familiar.  Was I in the twilight zone?  No, I WAS AT DOBA!  I wasn’t 100% sure, but if it was not DOBA then it was some copycat.

Then, I got the call.  The same call I had months ago.  The call telling me about the wonders of eBay and how eBay and drop shipping are a match made in heaven.  Yes, that call.  It was total deja-vu; and then it all came crashing to reality when the guy on the phone says “have you checked out DOBA?  If not, you should.  That is our main product and [blah, blah, blah] for only $599″.

$599?  I do not remember DOBA being that much.  But I must admit, I had stopped listening.  Once I heard a pause I said “Don’t call again.” and hung up the phone.

I couldn’t believe it.  DOBA had gotten me AGAIN!

So, the good news is if you are really curious about DOBA then you can go to ProductSourcing.com and try them out on a smaller scale for free.  I just would not use your real phone number or you will be harassed.

Take a look around in there and when you are convinced you cannot make a profit, come back here and click my link to DropShipping Sucks.  It is how you can profit on eBay.  Be sure to click my link so I get credit.  

Good luck!

Thank God – It Was an eBay Fluke!

I had a bad week recently.  Really bad.  I barely made a profit on eBay for the week and was feeling pretty lousy.

I was unsure if it was my items, eBay, or the failing USA economy.  As it turns out, it was me as I had expected and hoped.  I just got greedy and went for some bad products.  Problem corrected.

I was recently asked about my intentions to quit my day job since I have considered this option in the past.  I am not currently considering it.  Especially after my recent low-profit scare!  I still need the stability of my real job and, quite frankly, with the economy they way it is I would just prefer make all the money I can while I can.  Who knows where we will be 12 months from now.

Wish me luck!
