Increase Your Ebay Sales By Shopping At Wal-mart

Increase Your Ebay Sales By Shopping At Wal-Mart

by Mike Perras

Now at first glance you probably think I'm kidding right? On the contrary I am living proof that this can work week in and week out.

Let me just cut to the chase for you. Before Christmas I was, like you, looking for all those special little gifts. On this particular day I was Christmas shopping in WalMart. I was looking for two things I already had priced, Ipods and storage cards for a digital camera .. nice little stocking stuffers I'd say. That day I found the smaller 512mg size iPod selling for $49.00, no special sale tags, just $49.00 .. in fact, they weren't even marked, I had to find someone and ask the price. These use to sell at WalMart for $79.00 just a month ago, I scooped up 4 right on the spot. Off I go to the camera section and look for the small storage cards for digital cameras. I was looking for the 2gig size and low and behold it wasn't marked either .. price tag $39.00 WOW!! These were $110.00 each just a few weeks back. Again, I scooped up 4 cards. Off to the computer monitor section I went and was pricing a LCD flatscreen. Well there was a Digistart 27' LCD widescreen computer monitor/TV for $499.00 and again, I just had to pick one up, this unit even had HDMI plug ins.

I rush home to see these iPods selling and getting $80.00 and more each on eBay, the digital storage cards were getting about the same and the 27' LCD widescreen monitor was back to it's regular price of $699.00 a week later.

Here's the point. You can shop at WalMart on virtually any given day and find incredible deals, but you have to know your prices first obviously. The most obvious bonus, besides the sale price, is that these items are all brand new, and if there are any issues at all, WalMart will take them back, without question. An eBayer's dream if you ask me!

What I have just described can very easily generate an extra $100.00 a week in clear profit and that's a net gain of $5,000.00 a year, taking very little risk. If you were more aggressive you can see how that could easily turn into an extra $20,000.00 or more per year.

Selling brand new, in demand, quality items at terrific prices .. simply as good as it gets!
