Making money shopping at yard sale
Posted on Apr 21st 2021
There are many items which can be bought from a yard sale and sold again with some profits. My favorite niche is college books because they can be sold easily to the college students on an online store.
Reselling college books:
I have made many yard sale purchases in this niche and made good money. I have gotten them for just $50, with a resale price of more than $75. The previous summer one vendor gave me an entire box of them. It was the day's end, and she would not like to manage them. I sold them exclusively for more than $125.
I sell course readings both on Amazon and eBay. I never purchase a failure! My clear-cut advantage: my iPhone and a little piece of programming called SnapTell. SnapTell is presently available as an Android application, so you can utilize it on many cell phones. This little app is very useful for selling these old books.
You simply snap an image of the front of a book, DVD, cd, or computer game and in time of seconds, you get loads of details - the most significant for motivations behind resale - the value it sells for used.
To get the used cost select Amazon, at that point look to the base and you'll see the value range for Marketplace Offers.
That tells you roughly what the book will sell for. It helps, for course books, to likewise take a gander at the date of distribution. More than a couple of years old and you may need to sell it internationally to get any buyers.
Shipping cost of books:
You'll need to think about the size and weight of the book. Truly substantial books (like a workmanship history book I purchased), may cost two or three bucks and sell for $12, but Amazon has strict standards on what you can charge for transportation, and any additional charges are at the vendor's cost. The other option for the heavy books is to sell them on eBay, no standard transportation charges.
Selling books on Amazon and eBay is very simple. Generally, you should simply enter the ISBN number and all the information is given. At that point, simply redo your posting with details concerning the condition of your thing and you are all set.
