| EBay Selling, Another Great Source — Products for Less Than Wholesale to Resell on EBay |

The first step is to contact your local convention center for
dates and times of any conferences or road shows coming to your area.
Some of the most profitable items sold on eBay are specialty items such
as medical equipment or sports demo’s, etc. After a long and grueling
weekend of demonstrating their wares to the conference attendees, the
sales reps are only too happy to unload any excess or unsold items.
They can recoup a small percentage of their cost, even if it is only 10%
of value, and they don’t have to deal with moving the excess equipment.
Freight charges are usually higher than the cost of the items and time
constraints also play a role. Remember, anything sells on eBay! Even
portions of the set up booths or stands can command hundreds of
dollars, so you can pocket a nice profit by reselling the items on eBay.
The time to strike this opportunity is late in the afternoon on the
last day of the meeting or convention for two reasons. The first reason
is that you will not have to pay an entry fee for an event that is
closing in one or two hours. The second is that you will have time to do a
quick scan of any booths that might have items you would like to
purchase. If you see something interesting, simple ask the vendor if he, or
she, would be interesting in selling any excess. No pressure there, you
are looking to help them, and they usually respond with a smile and
sigh of relief.
Always go prepared to take immediate delivery. It is a good idea to
bring, at minimum, a pickup truck. These vendors will not be willing to
ship their goods. You are getting a great deal to take their excess
product off their hands fast.
Use this simple technique to source fast moving, high profit items on
eBay!
