Another ebay question. What to sell
 
Hi peeps,
Just wondering what people sell on ebay. Yes, i've done all the odds and sods I want rid of and a bit more, but im at the stage I need to start buying stuff to sell. Where do people get their stuff from ? My area of expertise is PC and network stuff but I cant really find anything around to make a decent margin on, except maybe the cisco 2400s at work :norty: I aint looking to get rich just make a bit to splurge on gadgets :)

I've found it a real struggle to get decent prices on Ebay in the last few months. Far too many sellers now driving the prices down.

What's a waste of time and money?

If you mean buying and selling anything then you really are talking snot. For not a huge amount of effort or time you can make serious money with the right product/s.

But then you keep that to yourself.

no expert, but I always found stealing cheap buys from ebay and then reselling to be the best moneyspinner. I look for items advertised out of category,mispelt titles etc, and buy&sell in what you know.

an example, I bought a mitre saw that was advertised in DIY for about £120, it was titled "wood saw" the saw new was about £350, the blade that was in it ( for cutting aluminium) was probably £80 new, all in good nick, I bought another balde for £20 for wood. Used it for a few months...banged it on ebay.

Did a buy it now for the saw at £220 with an extra £50 for the blades. Gone in 2 days :)
