Know What Sells: 3 Quick Tips
Have you ever noticed that some eBay sellers seem to have no trouble finding hot items to resell on eBay? Some people seem to have this gift – they can go to a sale and instantly pick up a few items that end up doing really well for them on eBay… It’s like a 6th sense or something – they just have this feeling or hunch that an item might do well. Maybe you are even one of them!
Here are four tips to keep in mind when you are out and stumble on something that you think may be a nice seller for you… Although I recommend researching eBay – applying these tips will help you find inventory without even opening a web browser. …And who knows – maybe you will end up developing this 6th sense! 
1. Look for things that need to be replaced – or have parts that need replacement. Games… toys… etc. that are popular but are likely to having pieces get lost easily. Focus on these pieces – this could be a gold mine as down the road, people long to find a complete set.
2. Talk with kids – your own, a grand child, nephew. Even better – take a child toy shopping with you and watch what they are attracted to. Every Christmas I have found that some of the best predictors of the hottest toys are KIDS!
3. Watch for retired or out of production (OOP) items. Items that are temporarily out of production can be hot sellers – but, that rise will fall once production kicks in. Take Webkinz for example… they have become a hot seller – not only because the manufacturer was not able to product enough for the demand… but, they had quite a bit of trouble with distribution. Now that they are shipping again to stores – the demand has gone down… at least for the new Webkinz. The super hot ones are those that are retired!
To know what really sells, I always recommend researching eBay – but, I also know that research can take time! If you are looking to sell toys and would rather spend your time listing and selling inventory than researching – let me do the research for you.
