Slow eBay Sales Season, but I am Ready for March.

Posted by dropshipebayer on January 14, 2009

Did you think I was dead?  No, I was just busy!  But I have some time now because this is a slow time for me on eBay.  After an amazing Christmas season where I think the slow economy actually helped my sales, things have dropped off considerably.  But I am not concerned.  I am using my dropshipping sucks skills to buy what I can and be ready for March!

Last March is when things really took off after the holidays.  I did pretty well after the holidays last year too.  But this year with the economy what helped my Christmas sales is hurting my post Christmas sales.  During Christmas time everyone was on eBay because everyone wanted a DEAL.  Everyone wanted to save some money and spend a little less.  Now I think everyone is shopped out.  Everyone is in savings mode.

It is a little painful, but again I will be able to ride it out and really cash-in come March.

I have been able to find a few great items to resell:

4GB SD Cards for $1.66 which will be great to sell to people who got Digital Cameras for Christmas and want to use them for the summer.

7″ Digital Photo Frame for $16.40 which I can sell along with the SD cards :-)

A huge lot of 96 various Nintendo Wii games. Some of them are not as popular, but I got all 96 games for $504.  This is a big investment for me, but I see me easily doubling my investment.

As you can see, I am ready and I am not just using the dropshipping-style techniques Christopher taught either.  I am still using the techniques for buying products to sell on ebay, but I am not just buying one item at a time after it sells anymore.  :-)

I just wanted to give my fans a quick update and to let them know that I still have a heartbeat.  WISH ME LUCK!

Day 11: eBay, I think I love you.

Posted by dropshipebayer on December 17, 2007

All is going well in the world of eBay and my auctions.  Really well.  I will be in to the real profit zone by the end of the week it seems!!  This is great news for a eBay seller who just days ago was in over $150 debit with my eBay business.

I am only going to say this one more time, I do not like drop shipping and I think you will not either.  Ok, enough about that.

I got some information back from Chris about what to do after the Christmas season and he gave me some great ideas!  I am going to keep them to myself for now.  Sorry, but I do not get paid for this blog (unless you click my affiliate link) so I want to keep the inside information I have to myself.

Let me just say that I am now convinced that selling after Christmas will not be a problem.  Chris believes that immediately following Christmas I can make a good deal on eBay because people will be using their eBay gift certificates and also buying accessories for the gifts they received.  So I am armed and ready!

Buy popular request here is another anti-dropship picture.  Ok, so nobody requested it but I like them so here it is.
