Inventory Without Spending a Penny!
========================================
Hello ~

Last week I mentioned that I would share an article I wrote years ago about building your inventory without spending any money. This strategy works extremely well if you are selling children’s items and you have little ones at home… if you don’t – keep reading though! At the end of the article, we’ll touch on how you can still use this strategy!

Enjoy!

Building Your Inventory Without Spending a Penny!
=====================================

Many people use the slow selling season during the summer to shop and build their inventory. This really is a great time to do so… especially if you are selling used items. Yard sales are in full swing and you can get plenty of incredible merchandise for pennies on the dollar by shopping them.

What if I told you that you could get inventory without spending a cent though?

Seriously??

Yep! I have done it! Here is my secret… TRADE. You can actually trade your used clothing or items (that is in decent condition) for trade credit at many consignment stores… allowing you to trade your old items for ‘new’ ones that you know will bring in an ebay profit.

Here are some easy to follow steps to trade successfully:

Garage Sale For Inventory Plan – YOUR BUDGET

Last week I shared with you some of the strategies I use to map out my route on a g-sale day… and today we talk about the all important budget!

Your budget will really come down to the market you are in (and of course how much you have to spend on inventory). Since I focus on selling children’s items, that is going to be the point of reference for this weeks topic of budgeting for yard sales.

A few years back a friend of mine who runs a membership site for eBay sellers was telling me how excited she was to get her listings up. It’s always fun to have a new wave of items up on eBay… That refresh button can be a little addictive when a listing is coming to an end and a bidding war has started! But, my friend wasn’t interested in her items selling…

what?!

You heard me right!
She could care less if her items actually sold!

Why?
Because her PURPOSE to listing wasn’t to sell the item she had listed. Her PURPOSE was to get the people looking at her listings to join her mailing list! Her PUROSE was to drive traffic to her site and gain new members… and this plan worked! Whenever she was listing items on eBay, her mailing list grew… and so did her membership site numbers!

Wouldn’t it be nice to take the pressure off of having to make money on your listings and look at them as an advertising or marketing opportunity instead?

A Quick Note…

Are you looking for a step-by-step program to help you get started with a blog to create new revenue for your eBay business? Discounted Charter Memberships are almost gone over at http://www.StartHereProgram.com/blogging

Look at what Deena had to say about the Start Here Blogging program for eBayers:

“Hi, Jenni,

Thank you!

I just wanted to tell you what an AWESOME job you’re doing with the Blog lesson system.

I’m about to start Lesson 9, and I just can’t believe all the information, step-by-step instructions, knowledge, and advice you are providing.

I would have had to read a zillion books and web sites to learn about it, and still never be able to narrow it down and get it done. Just poking around other web sites leads to mass confusion and eventual inaction.

I’m looking forward to the next lessons…

Thanks again for a great program – I know you put a tremendous amount of work into it, and I hope it brings you wealth and fame!”

Secrets of Garage Sale Bargains – Learn How The Pro’s Get The Inside Deals is reg. $17.99 – but through August 5, you can grab it for 10 bucks.

Garage sales are by far the best place to shop for inventory with the best return… and the best thing about garage sales is that everyone has an equal chance.

Here is what Sherah covers in her book:

I am super excited about this because her book is jam packed with great info for using garage sales for eBay inventory. PLUS, she has a guarantee – If the tips don’t work for you, like they have for her (and me!), just let her know and she’ll give your money back.

The $10 price is only available through 8/5/09 at midnight…

1. Garage Sale Plan: Making The Most Of Your Day
=====================================

It’s time!

Today we are going to focus on the big garage sale day. Now, before
you even get up in the morning to hit the road – you should already
have a plan and a budget. We already covered mapping out your route
HERE:

Garage Sale Plan: Mapping Your Route -
http://jennihunt.com/blog/?p=116

And we have discussed budgeting for the sale day HERE:

Garage Sale Plan: Your Budget -
http://jennihunt.com/blog/?p=121

Now, it’s all about game day!

The night before you plan to go to yard-sales, be sure to print out
your route (and include any maps if necessary)… If you are a
subscriber to MyToyGuide or HuntedTreasure, you’ll want to have
that printed out as well – or at least a list of inventory you are
looking for. Obviously, you don’t have to keep to this list – but,
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen something at a sale and
couldn’t remember if it was an item that I saw doing well or very
poorly on eBay. It’s just nice to have that reference… You also
want to have hit the bank already. Remember – you want smaller
bills so that it is easier to negotiate and buy those twenty five
cent toys. There is nothing like talking the seller down from $20
to $5 on something and then asking for change from the only twenty
dollar bill you have. ;-)

The Garage Sale Plan – Your Budget

Okay… let’s talk a little bit about budget for hitting those garage sales.

Your budget will really come down to the market you are in… and since we are focusing on children’s items – that is going to be the point of reference for this weeks topic of budgeting for yard sales.

I usually bring only $80-100 with me when I am hitting yardsales. This doesn’t mean I don’t stop for more – but, I’ve been able to do fine with around a hundred bucks. I like to break it down so that it isn’t all $20’s… it helps the seller as well because they aren’t having to give me change if I find a hot Blue’s Clues notepad for twenty five cents.

Hi ~

When I start talking about garage sales I always get a variety of responses. I’m surprised that many don’t really understand how many true treasures (and I’m not talking about junky “treasures”) can be found. Usually those in the market for children’s items aren’t quite as picky about buying used… But, some have a hard time with the idea of buying second hand. I can understand that; however, I believe that in this economy, some of those ideals are changing.

As the going gets tough, more people are turning to buying second hand so they can save and continue to enjoy some of the other things they appreciate about their lifestyle still. This is really good news for eBay sellers because it means that more people are turning to places where they can get things used – and eBay is one of the top hit websites/resources available!

So, whether you have always looked for used items… or are just starting out – the Garage Sale Plan series we are doing is designed to give you a strategy to get your hands on quality inventory in a time efficient manner… and with the least amount of money.

As always, if you have a question… comment… tip… whatever, please share!

Enjoy!
Jenni
