Beginners guide on Buying and Flipping Items on eBay - Make $$

[HeffToBeMad]

are you sure the box is 1lb and not 13oz or less? Weigh it

I dont have the item yet but the item certainly doesnt weigh 1lb. It would fit in something you guys are shipping socks in, how do you ship the socks?

You need to weigh it. If it weighs under 13oz you can ship 1st class. And make sure you ship through Paypal/eBay to save more money. I used to make the mistake of going to the Post office to ship and was pissed when I realized how much money I could have been saving. Live and learn.

THAT FEEL

"Your funds are now available"

THAT FEEL

That feel when you run out of inventory, so you start looking around the house for stuff to sell.

That feel when you feel like you are running low, but still have over 70 listings on cragslist. (usually 90+... cragslist only brah)

haha you mean minus the fact that I told everyone where I got them?

Where did you get them from? Didn't see your post...

[lazytofit]

Listed a brand new laptop worth around ~$700 on craigslist for $650. Someone offers me $350 lol. Gotta love the cheapos.

Alright just made a huge inventory purchase 10 bundles. I got a 20% email coupon so I jumped on it. Tight on cash right now so I'm going to have to bust my ass to flip these and make a profit.

Going to just try to flip the bundle completely instead of piecing all the parts out and selling them. 10 items vs 30 items to sell, much easier for similar profit.

Praying on people buying these for xmas gifts.

i've been focusing more on selling locally and getting off ebay. living in a small city definitely has it's disadvantages because everyone still wants $350 for their old iPhone 4 but i can get a lot more money if i find a good deal.

couple of nice deals from the past 2 weeks

blackberry 9700 w/ broken screen: $20 ($40 to fix, asking $125)
HTC raider 4G (htc vivid in the US), mint condition: $135 (asking $300)
galaxy nexus s w/ broken screen: $40 ($95 to fix, asking $250)

i'm meeting a guy tomorrow with a blackberry 9900. he wants $100 for it. they're selling for $300 on ebay.

Mate told me about dhgate the other day so been checking it out... came across guy fawkes masks...

http://www.dhgate.com/dhl-free-v-mas...4.html#ctabBox

Can buy 500 masks for £130 (£0.26 a mask)
Just checked ebay and some dude has sold almost 3k masks at £5 each...
If he got the masks from this site, hes made 12k just from the masks.... fuaaaaaaa

How much space will 500 masks take lol

Just updated my phone and got a 9900, great phone. If you can get it for $100 you should be able to make a nice profit. I'd be cautious of something being wrong with it for that price though. That's borderline crackhead pricing lol.

Would not recommend. Check out the "Completed Listings" for those masks. Many of them have not sold and the ones that have sold are the higher quality ones, not those cheap white ones like the ones in your link. And the cheap white ones that do sell are going for around $1-$2 a piece. Shipping and fees will more than likely leave you in the negative for each one you sell or maybe break even if you're lucky.

How often do you see deals like that being posted on Slickdeals?

[eglionz]

Life Proof appears to have a very tightly controlled distribution channel I doubt the cases on DHGATE are legit.But alot of stuff on eBay is fake anyways, and I imagine you wouldn't be the only person selling them.

This. The Chinese versions are fake, so if you go down this route I would suggest mentioning it in your listing. Just say they are 3rd party replicas. I have a fake Lifeproof case and I love it. Would never pay $80 for a real one.

All of my inventory comes from there.

5% or 10% upcharge lol what did they come out to, I think it was around $109 each

[Gsxr25]

They didn't charge the additional 10% was only 99.

Guess you got lucky?

I'm guessing it was because of price mistake. I dunno tho. Why in the world would you pass on a 32" tv for 99$ tho? You do realize 1080p is irrelevant at that size right?

Yeah I'm not the electronics guy so I didn't bother to buy one.

I only use eBay so me shipping that didn't make much sense, I suppose if I was into the whole craigslist thing I would have bought some.

I only use ebay as well, shipping cost will vary between 15-20 depending upon the area.

Quick phone question: Iphone 4 with a shattered screen, everything works fine just has the cracked screen. All I have to order is one of those $15 ''Front glass screen'' right? Don't need a digitizer or anything?
