1) See what is on the daily deal site.
2) Check your research tool or completed listings and determine if you can sell the item at a profit.
3) Watch the shipping. Some sites charge a flat shipping fee no matter how many you order, other sites charge per item. So watch your cost on shipping.
I recently found these mini photo studios on a daily deal site for $9.95 with $5 shipping for the entire order. I bought 5 of them. I listed them in store inventory for $39.95 in my store. Here is my listing:
I have sold 3 of them for a profit of $18 each. Not bad for something you can buy online, have delivered to your door, and just slap a label on to reship. Here are the daily deal sites I use:
Woot
1 Sale a Day
Daily Steals
Stootsi
Groupon
Happy Selling!
Thanks for another great tip! I knew about a couple of these sites, but not the others.
ReplyDeletegreat flip!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to see that Stootsi is shutting down their site!!!!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to ask about the Keywords to Search posts #3 and 1 - have they been removed?
Love you site!
Thanks Suzanne for this great tip! I have just started selling on Ebay and have learned that it is difficult to thrift store shop with two little ones in tow. I really enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that when I went to Stootsi that I got this message:
We regret to inform our internet-speaking audience that we will be shutting this operation down.
We will be keeping our customer service email address open as we wind the site down and will be available to address any issues be they customer or seller-related. That email address is support@stootsi.com.
The link for Stootsi says it is shutting down the site.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your great tips!
