I`m just curious if anyone here on the forum buys niche websites, As in a complete package - website, ebook, articles?

Larry,

I occasionally buy complete websites depending on the details of the site.  Post the info or PM it to me and I`ll take a look at it.  Also you could try DNForum and I have seen many completed websites sell on ebay.

Yes try ebay and if your site is resonable then it will sell. However just as a caution, I`ve seen sites go for dirt cheap on ebay that may have taken a lot more energy to create.

I`ve sold stuff on eBaY, and I`ve showed eBaYers how
to do it better! I speak with confidence.
Technology is hard on eBaY, unless it is marketed
with a professional marketing philosophy - testimonies
and salemanship. Make your eBaY content look
like a webpage(not a homebrew script) and do
the $20 feature(hey, its business - not lets
try .99cent first bid!) I saw an ad. where a guy
threw a website together and sold for $100.
because he understood impulse buying,
however, I don`t believe that`s the answer.

send me an email - anyone - I will show
you a good time on eBaY(Free!).

Occasionally I sell items on ebay, but I don’t seem to get sales from the products I sell at my business website. Maybe it’s because people are looking for a deal on ebay and I have overhead to pay on my store items. Therefore I usually only sell stuff from around the house. I would take any suggestions if they are given.

yeah, buy and sell postage stamps - just pretend
that they are miniature stock offers (less boring that
way!) - the reason - you will get lots of page views!!
even if you breakeven - hundreds of visitors without
major expenses. Next, sell used books - but don`t
sell to low - I have a friend whom is selling books
higher than others - he makes money!! Tell about
the book and its story(paperbacks, too!). You might also add some
collectibles - I like going to auctions and buy
the lowest bidded stuff - people tease me there - but
I got stuff for less than $5 and sold them for Hundreds!!
I joke not.

Now you have traffic, bids and some decent
money comming-in!!

People like you because you deliver fast!

and now its time to use your imagination
and throw-in some offers that are better
planned - you`ll know what I mean at
that point!!

You might try selling boats, cars and planes
for other people - be smart, don`t get into
a legal hassle.

Do not listen to eBooks - I`ve seen them
all!! I`ve got more infomation than you
can handle - email your q`s.

Don;t forget that the money made
on eBaY can be leveraged into another
.biz for profit multiplication - and then
that money back into eBaY.

Funny, everytime I see anything
that talks about making money
on eBaY - it does not give the eBaY
I.D. for reference - Seldom!(don`t
buy testimonies unless they show
I.D. attached!)

I can show you Powersellers
but they work hard - Be prepared
to do the same($5,000-$30,000monthly
from a spare room).

email any q`s - I`ve got notes
like you never seen before!!

Are you saying, or suggesting, that buying used items from flea markets, or garage sales will provide a good return when selling the items on Ebay? Wouldn’t the buyer/seller (Me) need to know the resale value in order to know the possible return? I find it difficult to shell out even $3 if I don’t really know the value of the item.

I think selling on Ebay can/is profitable, IF you know your market and the value of products you buy. I find great items in garage sales and flea markets. I have even begun reselling those items on my personal site (under “Once Loved”), but sales on Ebay are less than on my online retail store. I know there are value assessing books for everything, but you cannot carry all your books as you shop garage sales.

To give you a specific question… How do you determine the value of any given item?

I appologize to the person who started this thread. eBaY wasn`t the intended theme started here!!

But, while I have the floor.....let look at the object lesson, together below

<The information found here is copywrited - you may review but you are strictly forbidden to duplicate - The agent has permission.>

`The object lesson`

To make a sale on eBaY, you are the finder and it is your responsibility to conduct business in a professional manner. You assume the goal to locate merchandise that will meet or exceed
the following conditions of resale:

A. You find objects that are selling at the lowest possible cost (Note - `price` isnot correct phraseology).
B. You must factor-in the perception of value before you determine what the object sells at.

eg. A+B is: The object is aquired at $5 (your locating cost) and you believe that $13. would make a good first offer at auction.

C. Don`t forget that there are costs of doing business on eBaY (Fees!) too.

eg. A+C is: $5+$1.5 ($6.50 in cost & fees)

D. Lets make the assumption that you will ship the object at $6.00. We are guessing. O.k.

The examples put forth are striking, aren`t they?

Why would a bidder make an opening commitment at $13. if he/she has to pay an additional $6.00 in shipping? And why would you believe that an opening bid at $13.00US would warrant you to pay $6.50 when the object carries that value($13.). If you were in you customer`s shoes, wouldn`t you take the shipping amount off our percieved value ($13. - $6.00).

This object lesson surely points out a descrepency in your resale mathematics. Further, do you really think that somebody would place bid at thirteen, afterall, he/she can purchase a new article for $18. at a China outlet. Please do not make me laugh!`

i found the object lesson worthy of reviewing and pricing out
my articles when I sold on eBaY. Mr. Wicks

Heck now I`m glad I did start the post!

also, its interesting that finding merchandise at $6. with $13 evaluation is hard to do(how many objects are liquidated) and by reading this example carefully - we see that $5. is made on
the resale, if you are successful to get someone to add $6.
for shipping ontop of the thirteen they talked about!! that why I only buy stuff dirt cheap - who the heck would buy a used object at $13, when they can go to flea market themselves or buy a new one for $18. tough going for sure. but I`ve found that the best pricing is around $9.00 because fees increase at $10. on ebay - people who sell stuff on ebay for less than $9 are idiots after fees and shipping costs factored in. eBaY is hard but you have to be flexible and will to chance - don`t start stuff too low. find a pattern that works and keep reworking it. buy a book at $1. from a $15 dollar lot and sell at $9 + $3.50 s/h. it should take about 100 hours of concentrated effort to become good - but you will succeed. i have mega notes!!! for u.
