1 hot product to make money selling on eBay & Amazon.
Here is another hot product that will make you money selling on eBay as well as Amazon. Check out the bottom of this post to get some tips on how to find hot products at thrift stores
A few weeks ago, I was hunting at a thrift store in St. Paul, MN. It is one of the many thrift stores I stop at while running my thrift store hunting loop.
This thrift store had 16 cases of these Clevercat litter box liners as well as a whole bunch of loose boxes that were donated to the thrift store by Petco.
I had looked at the cases many times while walking the isles but they wanted to much for the cases.
About a month later, I went in the thrift store again and noticed that they had put a sign up pricing the cases at $1.99 each ( 12 per box ) and .39 cents each for the loose boxes.
$1.99 for 12 of anything that is a brand name would seem cheap to me so I decided to purchase 3 cases at $1.99 per case.
I took the cases back to my St. Paul house and listed the liners as soon as I got home.
2 hours later, I hear a CA CHING on my iPhone, I was down to 2 cases. Another hour later, I hear another CA CHING and I have 1 case left.
Needless to say, I drove back to the thrift store and purchased all the remaining cases as well as some loose cases.
They have been selling quite well, I just sold another one which is why I decided to write this post.
The funny thing is when I was initially researching these boxes, there was one other seller from Minneapolis ( same area ) that had a case listed on eBay for $59.99 but had not sold any. I thought that was too expensive so I put mine at $39.99 and away they went!
Tips on finding other hot products at thrift stores to make money selling on eBay & Amazon.
- Have a smart phone with a bar code scanner with you when you go to thrift stores as well as retail stores, you never know when you are going to come across a hot product that is selling on eBay.
- I use the WASP WWS100I handheld scanner. It is small, light weight but durable, can be configured to scan silently and is the only one I can really recommend since it has served me so well. It pays for itself within a few months.
- Train yourself to spot value in items.
- Got to retail stores to check current market prices
- Bring a notepad with you or use your phone's notes application so you can write down products to research.
- If you find products that are in bulk, mitigate some of the risks of losing money by purchasing only a few to "test the waters", then get them listed as soon as possible and see if they start selling. If they start making you money, go buy the rest of them.
- Go hunting often, you won't find anything if your not in the field.
