It took me 10 days to make a $1000 profit using ebay arbitrage. I simply made a guy an offer for his car and he took it. He lived about 200 miles from me. So I quickly went to his house and purchased the car, took it home, and cleaned it up.
I put it right back up for auction on ebay. I'm planning to create a PDF in more detail this weekend of all the steps it took and launch it as a WSO but don't worry it will be exclusively free here at BHW. I got a lot of love here so I be giving it back.:cool:

Bevis great going! stuff like that on eBay and Craigs List is one of the best ways to get some money flowing your way while getting started online if that's what you want to do.

Not real sure if it's exactly arbitrage because you did not have your buyer lined up first. You still had a bit of risk not knowing if you'd find a buyer.

definition of arbitrage...

The simultaneous purchase and selling of an asset in order to profit from a differential in the price. This usually takes place on different exchanges or marketplaces. Also known as a "riskless profit".
 
Last year someone was trying to get me to buy some whiskey decanters..about 6 or 7 total but I was not interested really. I"m lazy and hate to mail shit out but...

did a search on ebay and damn a couple of them were selling at good amounts..

these needed a bit of TLC..some cleanup and I had to fix some of the corks as they were deteriorated a bit...anyway....

got the whole lot for $50 knowing a couple would sell for over $100 or so...

put a bit of creative marketing into it...and one of them brought $375..another $75 another $58 and about that time I got lazy and did not want to ship any of the others so they're in my closet. LMAO

Got one ready to sell now before xmas..think it might bring $50 or more.
 
That s quite an investment, i would not buy a car, repair it and then sell it back just for a measly 1000$ profit. I prefer to work from my laptop, much comfortable.How much did the car cost?
 
At least you got off your butt and did something. That is half the battle. Most just sit and think but never act. Good for you.

My wife wants to do ebay. I'll do the computer stuff she ships. I shall give it a second thought now.
 
i tryed ebay but wasnt so sucessful., i tried selling action figures first i tryed selling them in singles or sets when that didnt work i tried selling in a lot of 75 but i didnt recive not one bid. i have been collecting them since high school so i have some pretty good stuff. i sold a few but nothing worth staying in that section. so i figure when i make a million me and my kids are going to have the war of all wars
 
There is a program for ebay to see what has the most bids etc,can't seem to remember the name of it,if it comes to me i will post.
 
I think it's called hot Item Finder. I saw a link on B Hat afew days ago.

"measly"

A thousand bucks for a 10 day delay is not measly.

Notice it didn't take 10 - 8 hour days to make this money. It took some smarts, some balls and some risk.

That's the key to success in any endeavor. Knowledge, courage and willingness to fail.

So Nick, as much as I love you and value your input: shut the fuck up.

If you've reached the point where $1000 is nothing to you, congratulations: share more ways to get to that point.

If you haven't gotten to that point yet: stop being a downer.

Gratz on the success bevis. Only 1 in a thousand ever make ANY money from online sources.

That makes you a fucking genius compared to most. Don't get cocky, but look on the bright side. If only 1 in a thousand can do what you can do: there are only 2 million chinese people capable of doing what you did.

:p
 
will the pdf show us how to do car repair as well? ;)
