Your Free List of Used Toys Currently Selling!

The Summer Toy Guide is all about selling USED toys. Toys are one of the few items that tend to sell well year round. New toys take the front seat during the holidays – but, I have to say, nothing beats selling used toys during the rest of the year… especially during the summer months when garage sales are plentiful and a great place for finding inventory!

One of the best ways to know what toys are selling on eBay is RESEARCH… but, if you are busy buying inventory and listing auctions – Who has time to research?

The Summer Toy Guide package provides you with a WEEKLY report of 25 USED toys that are CURRENTLY selling on eBay… These aren’t predictions – it is a list of actual auctions that are currently doing well for the week so you know what to look for when you are building your inventory.

Want to see what these reports look like?
Here is a recent report of 25 USED toys selling on eBay:

Pre-Order Your 2010 Holiday Toy Guide Before It’s Too Late!

Yep! You heard me right… the HOLIDAYS are coming – but, no worries! I have great news about the 2010 Holiday Toy Guide!

See, one thing I have noticed over these past couple of years while the economy has been, shall we say, unpredictable…
is that REGARDLESS, parents… grandparents… aunts… uncles… they all buy toys for the children in their lives during the holidays.

They will go without – just so they can shop for the toys their kids MUST have.

This is why I wasn’t too surprised that the Holiday Toy Guide had such a great response last year!

The economy was shaky… but, many sellers who knew what to sell did quite well with toys on eBay.

Anyhow – as much as I really want to hang onto summer… I have been getting ready for the big holiday selling season. Can you believe we are only 11 weeks from the big Black Friday shopping weekend?

Okay – I won’t continue to shock you with the dates… but, whether or not you are ready, it is coming. And, I’m hoping to spend time over the next few weeks helping YOU get ready.

A few topics we are going to be covering…

• Toy Trends for the 2010 Holidays
• Strategies for 2010 Holiday Sales
• Getting Amazing Deals on Inventory
• Tips for Selling During the Holidays

I’ll give you another week or so to let your mind shift from back to school or customes to toys for the holidays…

In the mean time, I wanted to let you know…

The doors are OPEN to PRE-ORDER the Holiday Toy Guide for 2010 at a special rate!

Costumes Are On The Rise – Are You Ready?

Costumes Are On The Rise! Do you know what’s selling?

Sherah Taylor has asked me to team up with her this year on her eBook, Secrets of Hot Selling Halloween Costumes. I jumped at the idea – because when she first released the program, I was incredibly jealous that I didn’t come up with the idea first Well, now I get to be a part of it!

Sherah was the publisher for Auction-Moms for years and she is well known for selling a USED Disney Boo costume a couple years ago for over $120. Just last year, she picked up another and sold it for around $100! And, I think I heard that she has already found one for $10 to sell this year.

Well, Sherah spills the beans on how she works her magic with costume auctions – if you sell costumes (or even if you don’t – but want to), this is a MUST HAVE! In fact, this is a great market to get into because the turn around on inventory is so quick. One of the great things about selling costumes is that you can buy them from thrift shops and consignment stores – and list them right away!… Instant profits!

All you have to know is which costumes sell the best… and Sherah lists over 250 USED costumes that sell for $20-80+ on eBay this time of year in her eBook.

Plus, not only do you get the eBook – but, we have partnered up to provide a 2 month subscription to HuntedTreasure. HuntedTreasure gives you a weekly report listing 25 used children’s items that are currently selling well on eBay – and one of the categories we are researching for you is costumes! So for the next 2 months, you will also receive a list of costumes and other children’s items that are selling well RIGHT NOW on eBay.

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.

20 USED costumes that sold for OVER $100 in 2008

You might be asking why in the world I would be sharing with you a list of used costumes that sold for over $100 LAST year… But, I think it is valuable information if you are thinking about selling used costumes this year.

First of all – the thing about USED items… they hold their value. Many of these same costumes and accessories that sold for over $100 last year are going to be hot sellers this year. They are worth looking into because you can pick up used costumes for $5-10 easy.

Secondly, I want you to see how you can get more lists like this one… only for 2009!

I’ve been following retail trends… and if you have are selling on eBay, you probably do to. One of the things I pay special attention to is the seasons… You have probably noticed that stores are starting to replace the back to school supply shelves with costumes already. Halloween sales should peak at the end of this month when we move right into the Christmas holiday season. This means there is still plenty of time to make a great profit selling costumes on eBay. In fact, even after the Halloween sales reach their peak in retail stores – some will be going strong through October. To take advantage of this as an eBay seller there are two key factors to be aware of:

Key #1: You need to know which costumes will be the most popular – this way, when the stores are all out of them, you can offer your inventory at a profit

Great Profits From Selling USED Halloween Costumes

I’m getting ready to head into shoulder surgery in less than 24 hours – but, have been working hard to get some goodies lined up for you.

Used costumes are just starting to pop up on eBay for Halloween. In fact, I have a list of 5 that were selling well just last week! But, before we get to that, I want to tell you about what I was working on today for you…

Just TODAY I was able to work out a deal to get you one of the best resources for selling costumes on eBay. Most people have to wait until September 1st to get Secrets of Hot Selling Halloween Costumes – but, you can get it early AND at a great discount!

If you are waiting for the Holidays to make some mula with toys… pay attention! USED costumes are great sellers on eBay that lead right into the holiday toy selling season.

For only 20 bucks you not only get this fantastic eBook full of tips and strategies for picking out hot selling costumes, but, you will also get a weekly report listing the top 20 selling USED costumes on eBay all the way through the end of October!

Sherah KNOWS costumes – she has made loads selling them herself. Every year I hear how she picked up a USED Disney BOO costume for around 10 bucks… and easily turns it around for a huge profit of over $100. It’s a short selling season, but a crazy good one!

Anyhow, Sherah spills the beans on how she works her magic with costume auctions – if you sell costumes (or even if you don’t – but want to), this is a MUST have!

Secrets To Garage Sale Bargains – How The Pro’s Get The Inside Deals

I just found out that Sherah over at Auction-Moms.com is offering her garage sale ebook for $10 again for a week!

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.

http://tinyurl.com/g-saledeal

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:
- Which weekend is the best to catch hot moving sales
- Tips for getting a good deal even if your best offer is refused
- Why saying, “Will you take $1 for this toy?” is a no-no.
- Find out the magic words to seal the deal… almost every time!
- When the best time is to hit the sales for the best deals

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. Adding Toys To Your Arsenal
2. How Important Is A Niche?
3. Heads Up:
– That Extra Mile
– More Niche Marketing and eBay
4. How to subscribe or Change your subscription status
=========================================
=====================================

One of the things I have talked about numerous times is the value of selling within a niche. When I’m talking about a niche – I’m talking about a group of products that the same audience has an interest for. The ‘tighter’ your niche is (or the more focused it is), the less competition you should have selling to that market.

So – for example…

Clothing or apparel is a niche… but a tighter, more focused niche would be women’s clothing or children’s clothing. You could sell just clothing in general – but, think about how much more you could cross-promote your items if you were only selling women’s, children’s OR men’s clothing.

If you know your customers are interested in women’s clothing – it is easy to create offers for them to purchase more from you. (And, remember, it is always easier to sell to those already showing an interest in buying from you!) On the other hand, if you are just selling clothing in general… you won’t know your customers as well and will have difficulty effectively promoting other products you are selling. In other words, if you cross promote to your other auctions and most of them are dresses – but, this particular customer is a man who has bought a jacket from you… it is likely your promotion won’t be all that effective.

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!

GoodWill Hunting – Finding Inventory for Resell at Thrift Stores

A while back I was working on an article about buying inventory from thrift shops. Thrift shops are one of my favorite places to find used inventory – and I have a system that works really well… as I was writing the article, I came across this article by Melissa Smith – she shares all of the strategies I already use when I go to thrift shops (I especially love shopping with my mom to get a senior discount – saving an extra 40% on everything!!)… so, rather than recreate the wheel – I asked Melissa if I could share her article. Here you go…

Goodwill Hunting: Finding Inventory for Resell at Thrift Stores
Guest Article by Melissa Smith
Ebay Seller melissakbs

I’m Melissa Smith, a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) to my 2-year-old daughter, and wife to my husband Tim. I’ve been eBaying since 1998 and selling kid’s clothes for a year. I sell mostly children’s clothes under the ID “melisskbs” and I get 99% of my inventory from Goodwill’s thrift stores. You can see my auctions for yourself here:

Auctions by “melisskbs”

I used to work for Goodwill Industries in the Job Placement Division, and I am one of their most frequent customers! I’ve sold Baby Lulu, Hanna Andersson, Oilily, Kelly’s Kids, Orient Expressed, Lilly Pulitzer, and untold numbers of Gymboree, all purchased from the GW. Even as a kid, I loved hunting for bargains at the thrift stores.

Here’s how you can find great “treasures” and inventory for your auctions at thrift stores such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other charity thrift stores.

Let’s Get Started!

First, go often and find out when new merchandise arrives. At my local GW, a truck comes every day from the main donation center warehouse. Also, the stock is rotated every day among the 16 stores in the district so there is always something new to find.
