How to Make $100 an Hour on eBay Selling Thrift Store Items

You REALLY can make $100 selling thrift store items on eBay, IF you learn to pick the right things.

For example, I recently spent 3 hours in a Goodwill store, and found 22 items that cost me $94. Based on my research of eBay sold items (comps), I will make a profit of just shy of $600 once these items sell. Here is the math:

Cost = what I paid, some were full price, some were half price.

Fees = I used an easy 15% for fees, since eBay fees are 10%, Paypal fees are 3%, and I added a little wiggle room.

Shipping = I do calculated shipping, so the shipping is always a wash, and paid for by the buyer.

I estimate another 3 hours to photograph and list these items. So the math is:

$619 profit / 6 hours of work = $103 hourly rate. 

*Does not include drive time to the thrift store, which was 15 minutes each way, or shipping, which should be no more than 3 minutes per item.

How to Start an eBay Business for Retirees, Baby Boomers, and Seniors

Whether you believe it or not, pre-retirees, retirees, Baby Boomers, and Seniors are in the perfect position to start or grow an eBay business. Why? It is all about the STUFF!

You have the stuff - decades worth of stuff that you absolutely can sell on eBay.

Your kids don't want the stuff. They aren't trying to be disrespectful - it just isn't important to them the way it is to you. And they don't want to have to deal with it in 20-30 years like you are dealing with it now.

Your life is changing so you don't need the stuff. 

You know all about the stuff. What decade it came from, what was going on in the world when it was popular, and what it is called.

You can use the money from the stuff.

You also have the skills and are technologically savvy enough to tackle the eBay site - which isn't really all that hard. (You are online reading this blog - so you can do eBay!)

You CAN be successful with eBay, and build a flexible business you LOVE, get rid of your stuff, make money when you feel like it, and HAVE FUN doing it from the comfort of home.
