The Art Of "Flipping" On eBay

Here's a great online business idea for you...

Buy things on eBay that are either underpriced or marketed poorly and then "flip" them for a nice profit. 

Flipping means that you sell the item immediately after you get it - you can even sell it BEFORE you get it, and ask the original seller to deliver the item to YOUR buyer instead of you (just tell the original seller that the item is a gift for your buyer!)...

Usually, the more expensive the item - the more money you can make by flipping it.  You can make some VERY NICE money by using this strategy on eBay Motors.  Here's one way to do this:

  1. Find ads that look terrible and have very little information or poor quality photos.
  2. Check to make sure the car has a clean title, no damage history, etc.
  3. Make sure the price you are paying is a good deal by comparison shopping for the same make and model.
  4. Buy the car.
  5. Immediately put up your own ad on eBay Motors selling the EXACT SAME CAR you just bought.  Your ad should look very professional, with lots of high-quality photos, some audio, and maybe even a slide show created in Macromedia Flash. 
  6. Sell the car at a higher price than you paid - pocket the difference as profit - repeat over and over.

You can follow this strategy with any item on eBay!  Keep your eyes open for the opportunity to "flip" items you see - your wallet will thank you at the end of the year...
