Default Re: Ebay selling

Couple of comments here:

1) If you're selling coupons, make sure that you mention that you're auctioning the time you take in assembling the package of coupons rather than the coupons themselves. It's a CYA thing.
2) Usually if you can acquire things cheaply enough you have a chance of selling it on eBay. I don't hesitate picking up a box of 30-40 specialty magazines (i.e., magazines that address a particular interest (guitars, dogs, model airplanes, etc.)) at a flea market for $5 because there's a good chance that I can at least make my money back on them, and I could make a bit on them. I throw them up using the cheapest auction method I can, start it at $0.99 no reserve, and away it goes. I usually get bids because my low starting price beats the other sellers'.

If you have time, check to see whether the items are in demand before you buy them.

John
