List on eBay - Buy from Sears -

[Scott Eichner]

Would this work?

Find a 80-90% off expensive item such as jewelery, tvs, appliances, etc on Sears. Right now because they are going out of business ande there are A LOT.

I found a men's watch original price is nearly $600 for sale for $9ish. %98 off

Post on eBay at 40-50 percent off. Buyer buys, and sends you money.

Use money to buy on Sears, using buyers address to send to them.

Make the 40% or so profit instantly, plus Sears has this nice program called points. Right now, for every $100 you get $15 points in account. I've seen in jewelery whatever you spend, you get in points. ORIGINAL PRICE

Imagine selling a $600 watch that you bout for $9 to eBay for $300 but still getting the original price $600 profit in points too


I haven't tested or looked up if people are doing this already or it's even "profitable". What I mean by that is it's obviously profitable but when people spend that kind of money I'm sure they look around right?

If even one high price with point cashback is sold though..

This is called online arbitrage and people are already doing that.

Yeah, unless you have scripts to manage this automatically, it would be a nightmare, if the business is closing down then they will run out of stock on items very quickly. If you're not on it and quickly remove the item from ebay, you could potentially open yourself up to getting bad feedback on ebay which affects your selling abilityy

FLIPPING is more accurate name.

How would you prove to eBay that you were authorized to sell this product?
