Scouting Local Auctions for eBay Selling Success
Introduction
Starting an eBay business? A great way to begin is by selling your own household items that you no longer need. Often, these items fetch higher prices on eBay compared to a yard sale. Once you’re familiar with the process and run out of personal items, local auctions can be your next treasure trove.
Why Local Auctions?
Local auctions are ideal for finding a variety of items such as antiques, personal estates, and collectibles like NASCAR memorabilia. You might even find large lots at discounted prices, allowing you to resell items individually on eBay for a profit.
Bidding Strategies
The Right Approach
1. Partner Up: Teaming up with a spouse or friend can be a game-changer. While one of you attends the auction, the other can stay home and provide real-time data via phone or text.
2. Stay Informed: Note details like model numbers of potential items at the auction. Relay this information to your partner, who can check eBay’s past sales to gauge an item’s worth.
Real-Time Research
- eBay Checks: Your partner should quickly check for current auctions and recent sales to ensure you’re bidding wisely and not overpaying for items that won’t make a profit.
- Market Awareness: They should also assess if the market is saturated with similar items, helping you avoid unnecessary risk.
Finding Local Auctions
