A great way to make money on ebay is to look in your local newspaper. You can find a gold mine there. You can find yard sales, garage sales, attic sales, estate sales, property sales, moving out sales, flea markets, going out of business sales, lots more. You can literally find anything you want, in the local paper. You just have to look everyday you can, because sometimes you could miss a really great deal or event. People throw away perfectly good things everyday. One persons garbage is another persons treasure. Antiques are all over the place. Some people just think it’s junk and throw it away or sell it cheap. You would be surprised at the antiques bought cheap and resold for big money on ebay.

Yard sales are my favorite. They stand out among the rest, because you always have a chance at getting a treasure for a couple of dollars. People don’t care what they are getting rid of, at one of theses sales. They probably have no room for the stuff anymore and are happy to sell it cheap, just to get rid of it. Yard sales have helped millions of ebayers rake in a consistent incomes. I have had a few treasures in my day. One in particular, I bought about 500 baseball and hockey cards for 6 dollars. There was a stack of Bobby Orr rookie cards along with stacks of other great players. Even a Gordie Howe rookie card. At the time I didn’t even know who these players were. But I found out quick that my $6 turned into thousands! That’s just one of hundreds of yard sale stories I have. Attic and garage sales are pretty much the same as a yard sale. They are just called something different. I recommend looking for any of these sales in your local paper. They are usually held during the weekend, so take the family. They can be lots of fun!

Flea markets are another good place to get some stuff to resell on ebay. You can buy some really good stuff for cheap money. People sell stuff they brought from home at flea markets. Its just like going to 100 yard sales at once. Flea markets can be great money makers for the sellers and the buyers. Most people are buying stuff at the flea market to resell anyway. Why not resell it on ebay. I have seen some flea market stuff that sold for hundreds or thousands of dollars, but only paid a couple of dollars for it. Just be careful not to sell fake or counterfeit merchandise on ebay. Ebay will suspend your account if you commit any kind of trademark or copyright infringement.

Moving out sales are another good way to make some money. Be on the lookout for these ladies and gentlemen. These are usually rare, but very profitable. People will sell anything from the kitchen sink to their cars at a moving out sale. Everything goes is the motto for a moving out sale. The owners will usually sell everything at flea market prices. I recommend moving out sales to anyone looking to make some big money, reselling stuff on ebay. There are lots of treasures to be found at a moving out sale!

Going out of business sales are great also. Some stores or businesses have run into financial difficulties and may have gone bankrupt or something. Always be on the lookout for these, they can be very profitable. Most of the stuff is brand new and still in the package it came in. The resell value of brand new merchandise is great on ebay. If a business has a going out of business sale, you can usually get 50-90% off retail. That’s fantastic. You are getting brand new merchandise for more than half off. Keep an eye out for going out of business sales!
