I know it has been a long while since I have posted, but I have had the great opportunity to get a new job with higher pay with a wonderful company that will hopefully be around longer than my last company I worked for.  I have been in a trial and error period with selling things on ebay, but  I have found it to be very profitable if done right which is helping to pay for more things and bills in my life.

Here is how you can do it also!  I have talked a lot about using coupons in the past (if you haven’t read that article please browse the blog as there are many) to save money and get things for free.  That is exactly what you will do, I have found in the past makeup for free with a coupon that went with a store sale, the only thing I paid was about $0.12 each for tax.  Now I have held on to these for a few months, but usually Ebay will become overwhelmed with the product for a little while, then the supply will go down but the demand will still be there, which in turn will bring a higher price.  I am now selling them for $5.99 each (for buy it now with free shipping).  I have over 30 of these items.  Which will give me $179.70 - 3.60 (cost of product) a $176.10 profit for about 2 hours of work going to the stores to purchase them.

The other idea is to go to the discounted isle (most CVS and Walgreen stores have these, it is usually a small part of the isle).  and look for brand name products that are marked down, which sell good on Ebay.  You can research it by doing searches on Ebay and go to advance search and then completed auctions.  If the price for the auction is green, that means it sold, so check out the prices the auction sold for and see if you can profit from that.

This was just a quick tip on how to make some extra cash, do so at your own risk.  If they don’t sell, just put together your annual garage sale and mark up the price a little bit and watch them fly off your tables.
