ebaycollectibles To make a living with ebay collectibles, you need to have a good way to find a stream of products to sell.

Ebay can be a great marketing tool, but an ebay collectibles business will fail if you don’t constantly find more items.

The best advice is to get sellers to call you with items they have that you might be able to sell.

If you are running around to flea markets, garage sales and estate sales trying to find items that will work well for sale as ebay collectibles, you’re leaving yourself very little time to market products. You’re also likely wasting lots of time with items that aren’t relevant to your business so you end up wasting your time.

Additionally, when sellers call you, you have the advantage. If you’re at a garage sale, you’re competing with all the other buyers and collectors for the same items. You’re in a race with lots of others for the same prize.

If the sellers call you, however, you’ve made them think that they may be able to raise some cash by selling their unwanted items to you.

You don’t want to rely on simple luck if you are trying to create an income with ebay collectibles. Trying garage sales is simply relying on luck – if you’re lucky, you’ll get there before other dealers, and you might get a good buy.

On the other hand, if you have a system you can get a consistent stream of new items to post on your ebay pages and create steady income and interest.

Instead of focusing on visiting the flea market, focus your time and energy on getting your phone to ring with people wanting you to buy their collectibles.

First, invest some time into reading up and practicing marketing, salesmanship, and closing the deal. A little time invested in understanding the nature of humans and understanding how sales works can pay off big.

Even though you are technically the buyer, you need to sell the person on the idea that you are a better buyer than anyone else, and that they should accept your offer.

Make up business cards and hand them out to anyone you meet or bump into. Hand them out to the people near you in the line at the post office or grocery store, and find places where you can post fliers.

Let your friends and neighbors know what you want, and they’ll become some of your best advertisers. Give them cards to hand out.

Put some of your antiques or ebay collectibles on display at the local library or town center and make sure to put your name and phone number in the case.

Run small ads in the local paper saying that you pay cash for collectibles or antiques, and you can buy an advertising sign in the outfield of a local baseball park, basketball gym or soccer field.

Run ads in company newsletters that say you buy ebay collectibles or antiques, or put up a sign in the local pawn shop.

Soon you’ll have people calling you!
