Ebay business ideas

[goose5741 10+ year member]

So me and my friend want to try to start some sort of ebay business to bring in a little extra cash. Right now we're looking at repairng video game consoles, which would bring a decent profit assuming the no additional parts are needed to fix them. Anyone have any suggestions on anything that would be more profitable/easy???? I'm up for trying just about anything lol. We were also considering building computers but theres already so many people on ebay who do that, that i shot that idea down. So, anyone got some ideas???/

I did that for a while. I bought/sold everything purchased at garage sales and swap meets mostly. NES, SNES, Genesis, N64's, PS2's, etc... The NES's bring in the most money if you can get them working perfect. But believe me, if you don't have a constant source of good deals, the fees are going to kill you real quick.

Might sound dumb....garage sales and auction? Can make a ton of money if you know what you are looking for.

Buy women's underwear, wad it up, spray cheap perfume on it, and sell it as used to horny old guys.

Make sure you include pics of some random woman off the Internet.

^^ the fees is what i was thinking would be the problem because the profit margine isn't gonna be that high to start with...thats why i was looking for something else...better....thx for advice..

last I checked snes were bringing more

Pick one up at a garage sale for $10 w/ some games...get about 40-50 on ebay. Being as garage sales will be everywhere soon...except price to take a bit of a dip.

Couple hundred over the years? Get your plan down, know what you are looking for. You should profit that on one friday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.
