Seasonal eBayer Only!

Well, as you can probably tell by how limited my posts are on this blog I am no longer ebaying all the time.  I still sell on eBay each Christmas season and still in the month after but other times I am just too tired.  Yes, I am still recommending and getting commissions for recommending people to Drop Shipping Sucks.  I just got too busy with my “real job” and never could pull-the-trigger and go into full time ebay business.  So, that is how it is…  But I still recommend anyone to make a few extra dollars here-and-there selling on eBay.  IT STILL WORKS!

eBay? Dropshipping? I am starting a website!

As you know my blog here has been pretty empty lately and I have been very busy selling products on eBay, thank you dropshipping sucks!

But, as you also know, I have been looking into a way to expand my business and possibly, actually, quit my day job.  eBay just hasn’t gotten me there yet and it has been what feels like forever.

But I got an email yesterday from Christopher Bernard, the guy who created dropshippingsucks.com and he announced his new website, Duug.  I am not sure what Duug stands for, he didn’t say.  What he did say was that Duug was a place where he would personally create websites for people based on their interests.  The email made it sound pretty cool, so I am going to be one of the first customers!!!

The Duug website isn’t even finished yet but you can still sign up, or at least I could.  I just took the survey thingy and got a call FROM CHRIS HIMSELF and am waiting for my new site!!  I will let you know when it is complete.

I am very excited.  I have been waiting to talk to Chris for a long time and now I finally had the chance.  The dude is like crazy brilliant!

So, this is my update.  I will still continue to sell on eBay and still continue to promote dropshipping sucks (affiliate link) but maybe my new website will be the method to which I can quite my job forever!

I have quit eBay and am now drop shipping!

It has been a long time since I posted here and that is really because I have become somewhat of a hypocrite.

As you know by looking at my blog, I was very into a site/product called dropshipping sucks and promoted it here (with my affiliate link) as a way to spread the word and make some money.

I used the Better Sources guide sold at dropshippingsucks.com to make money on eBay and really was excited to had found the answer to my work from home needs.

However, ever since December 2009 I suddenly stopped making money on eBay and found myself once again attracted to drop shipping.  I am really surprised and excited to announce that Christopher Bernard was wrong!!  Drop shipping works well, even on eBay!

I made more money in five days using drop shipping on eBay than I did in my whole career using the Better Sources guide (dropshipping sucks)!

I was finally able to quite my day job and have even moved on from eBay.  I now work full time for a drop shipping company.

I cannot believe I was so wrong and was so fooled by the nonsense I had been taught.  Listen to me, drop shipping is the best and easiest way to become a millionaire in a short period of time.  The real truth is, drop shipping and eBay work awesome together.  They are a match made in heaven.

I LOVE DROP SHIPPING ON (AND OFF) EBAY!

Oh wait.  I just realized something.  It is April 1st, also known as April Fools Day.  And guess what?  You have been fooled!  Did I get you?

I still hate drop shipping, still sell on eBay, and still strongly recommend dropshipping sucks (Better Sources).  So, check it out and please use my affiliate link, that way I make money! 

Comment and let me know if I had you going!  I am sorry for my limited blogging however.  With more success seems to come less time to blog.

Working from my cabin in TN.

Ok, I know, we all just have to face the fact that I am not blogging that much anymore.  I am vacationing in TN with the family and trying to limit my computer time.  Since the blog is more for fun than for profit I have to keep my time on the blog site to a minimum.

Yes, I am still an eBay seller!  Things are going well.  Still doing the Drop Shipping Sucks stuff.  All is well.  In fact, even though I STILL have my day job the eBay sales have allowed us to take this little vacation.

I have come to the conclusion that eBay is not going to make me rich or even able to retire.  I am doing well, but the stability still isn’t 100% there.  But this is very good for now.  Doing eBay is fun and if it earns me nothing more than a couple of vacations and some extra spending $$ each year, I can live with that!

eBay is ok for today.

It has been a long time since I have posted here and I am sorry.  I am continuing on my journey through eBay and I think I have peaked.  I am doing well.  I am making money.  I still give great praise to Drop Shipping Sucks (please use my affiliate link).

The problem I am having is expanding.  I am at a critical point.  If I want to expand my eBay adventure I am going to have to work much harder and many more hours.  I am going to have to look for new niche items and I am going to have to really ramp up my sales.

As I have played with in the past, I am SERIOUSLY considering venturing outside the bay.  I think this would be the easiest next step.  Looking where else I could sell, not what else.

I really have not established a solid niche for myself.  I have kept with selling anything I could buy cheap.  But I think the light in that is that when buying cheap I can sell just about anywhere.  After all, if I can sell on eBay I can sell on Amazon and other places, right?

Wish me luck.

Long time since I blogged or was on eBay!

I have been out of town for a while helping some friends with some tough issues they were facing.  Not only have I not been blogging, I have not been eBay selling either.

I hope to post some updates soon for my handful of readers.  I am jumping back onto eBay now!

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

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!

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!

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!

And remember, use this link and go buy DropShipping Sucks.  It is what I used to get started and you should too.  Plus, when you use my link I earn money.  [smile]

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!
