Garage Sale 2 Ebay

Today I would like to talk about two of my favorite methods for finding items to sell when there are no garage sales to visit. Combined and used effectively these two sites can increase your earnings dramatically and I highly recommend they are both visited at least occasionally.

The first method is actually a website that I set as my homepage. It is called slickdeals.net and you can find price mistakes and rebate combinations to get items at well below their value. To give a few examples; one time I purchased two DVD burners and for $50 – $40 instant rebate – $20 mail in rebate for a combined total of $-10. Both DVD burners then sold on eBay for $15 plus shipping each. Just recently on July 20th I purchased a TI-83PLUS for $100 – $25 instant rebate – (2) $25 rebate’s for a combined total of $25. From looking at the recently closed listing I should get $50-60 for the calculator. You will not find good deals every day from this site, however gems do come around and its nice to not miss them which is why I set this as my homepage. I highly recommend at least
book marking this site. You can also go into their forums and find MANY more deals than are listed on the homepage, however the best ones usually make it to the homepage.

The next method is auction misspelling and typo web pages. There are many of them you can find through Google, one of the ones I use is auctionbloopers.com This site will help you save money by finding misspelled items on eBay. You type in any item you want to look for, and it will search for all the common misspellings of that word on eBay. I managed to get a Escort Passport 8500 X50 radar detector for over $100 the going rate on eBay, and $200 less than new in the store all because the seller spelled it “Ecsort.”
I have a friend who makes quite a good living from purely buying and reselling
items on eBay, this tool is one of his favorites.
