Today, I would like to introduce to you all the power of combining Craigslist [http://www.scamtypes.com/craigslist-scams-can-be-avoided-with-common-sense.html] and Ebay.
First of all, what will you need for this?
I would recommend having a vehicle or access to a car or truck.
Then, you can look around Craigslist's "free" section and browse around and check out what kind of free stuff there is in your area.
You will be surprised how many people are giving out free stuff, especially in the more expensive areas of town.
Next, follow the instructions provided on the ad posting, try to call ahead if you can.
Many of these pickups are first-come, first-served, and I know free things, especially things of resale value go fast, and I mean really fast!
I would recommend that everytime you go online, check on the craigslist's free section in your metropolitan area and if you find something that you feel that can be sold on ebay, go and get it!
And after you get it, you just got yourself free inventory, your cost of goods sold (COGS) will be zero (less the costs of getting to the place).
Isn't this better than buying stuff and taking the risk of carrying inventory?
As you can tell above, there are subsections in the "for sale" sections that could also contain cheap bargains that you can resell on Ebay for maximum profit.
Now you may ask, why these people listing their stuff on craigslist aren't selling on Ebay?
Well, perhaps they don't want to deal with the complications of ebay: listing fees, having to ship to a faraway place, etc.?
But, guess what??
Here is the opportunity for you to make money!
Who cares though eh? At the end of the day who doesn't want something for nothing that can be sold on for profit?
