Now most people use ebay to get rid of some of the junk that they have laying around the house but it can be a good way to put a little extra income in your pocket. I am not an expert in making money this way so I can’t sit here and tell you how to go out and make a six figure income using ebay. I seen a few and read a few ebooks about how to use ebay this way and have heard some great stories of people making a good living but for the most part I have used ebay just to make a good profit on a few items.

What I do is find deals on things that I know will sell for a profit on ebay. Here are some of the products that I know of that will almost always sell for a profit.

Star Trek items-These always tend to sell very well.

Rotary Telephones-Don’t know why these sell but they do.

FM Converters-People that are restoring classic car need these items so they will sell every time.

My Little Pony-Again another item that don’t why they sell but they do.

Square Dancing Outfits and Accessories-These are great sellers on ebay.

These are a few of the items that I know of that sell very well and can be somewhat easy to get your hands on (excluding Star Trek Items much harder to find). Now I am not one spend my day on some sort of hidden treasure hunts or waking up at dawn on the weekends to beat the other treasure hunters out there. What I do is simple if I pass by a pawn shop or a goodwill I’ll take a few minutes stop in and see if they have any of my known items. If I happen to be going by a junk yard I stop in and ask if they have any items again items that I know sell. Estate sells are another good source but more then likely you will run into a few people doing the same thing you are.

Basically I keep a list of items that I know sell and eye out for those products. I remember one time driving by a pawn shop that was having a half off sell went in and found all 7 seasons of Star Trek The Next Generations sets for 30$ a piece so I bought them all cost me 210$ turned around and sold them on ebay for an average price of 120$ a piece. It was right around a 600$ profit.

Like I said earlier ebay can be a good way to make a little extra income. Just keep up to date on what is selling well and then have an eye out for those items.
