Blue Orchid eBay Trading Workshop Dukinfield Town Hall Tameside Dukinfield

What an absolute stunning venue the the town hall building was in Dukinfield Tameside one of the best venues I have been to when delivering the eBay workshop.

The facilities and the hospitality were nothing short of brilliant well done and thank you to the team at Tameside.

The Blue Orchid eBay trading workshopm also went down a treat and I have to say what a fantastic audience you all were thank you for your attention.

Once again the same question comes up again regarding what to sell and where to purchase items for re-sale one thing I would advise is take a look at http://pulse.ebay.co.uk where you will see what the most popular searched items are or you could try http://watchcount.com which is pretty much the same thing.

You could purchase items on ebay take a look at wholesale categories scan the yellow pages for local manufacturers or maybe even google but do avoid all the nonsense about website links on the web these cost money and are a waste of time.

For collectibles you could go to boot sales, garage sales, jumble sales antique road shows or fairs.

Local auctions are pretty good just pop it into google and you will find a whole host of auctions in you region these are my favourites but remember do your homework first Research on ebay get yourself a price then go and buy to profit leave no stone unturned.

Also why not pop into local retailers see if they would like you to sell end of lines for them get an agreed commission structure in place when you sell the items you take out your fees pass on the rest to your client then ship the goods and everyones a winner and you wont have to risk your money this is what we do and it works very well for us.

That’s all for now but to look in now and then for further tips and tricks.

Take care speak soon John
