Thrift Stores - the eBay Sellers' Supermarket

tear through any thrift store and you’re lope to bump into an eBay Powerseller or two replenishing their eBay inventory. The truth is there are composed well-behaved bargains available at thrift stores for resale on eBay if you’re astute enough to place them.

While it’s fair you’ll probably pay more at a thrift store than you would at a garage sale, the prices for some items are composed indecent enough for you to acquire a decent profit. The key, of course, is to do enough research on eBay to know what types of passe items are hot sellers. And, I don’t mean a expeditiously tiny discover. I mean really do your homework.

For example, if you’re keen in buying and selling archaic men’s shirts, go to eBay and build searches for “used men’s shirt,” “nearly unique shirt,” “gently worn” and all the other synonyms you can collect for “used.” Go through the “vintage” category and the “collectibles – cultures, ethnicities” for Hawaiian shirts. Research the labels. mark any patterns and colors. Do some sizes sell better than others? (I always found I had a harder time selling men’s shirts in size slight) .

Do the same type of research with all the worn items you may rep at a thrift store: clothing, shoes, boots (especially obsolete cowboy boots), purses, books (don’t ignore cookbooks – they can sometimes sell very well, especially the Betty Crocker Pie shroud cookbook) .

When you derive a thrift store or two (or, hopefully, more) that offers kindly quality ragged products go assist often as novel items are added every day.

With old-fashioned clothing it’s very valuable to thoroughly check for any tears or stains, because once you occupy it, it’s yours, you can’t acquire it abet. I once bought several collectible Hawaiian shirts I had checked for tears and stains, but failed to check the collars. When I got them home I found they all had a abominable case of “ring around the collar” which didn’t approach out in the wash. Of course, I had to snort that in my descriptions on eBay. The shirts sold, but for less than what they could have sold for in better condition. Also, check for any odors that may be tough to bag out with washing or dry cleaning. (Do get positive you wash or dry shipshape all feeble clothing you list on eBay.)

While it’s fair that weak clothing and other items do sell well on eBay, your research will abet you situation items with which you’ll actually get a profit. There’s a opinion out there among some that you can slap anything on eBay and execute money. Not good. If you don’t do your research you may acquire yourself losing money. Don’t fair steal there’s a sucker born every limited and that anything will sell on eBay. Without helpful research you might waste up finding out the sucker is you.
