How to Buy Lifetime Collections For Next to Nothing and Resell Them for Fabulous High Prices on eBay by Avril Harper author of 'Bank Big Profits Selling Vintage Topographical View Postcards on eBay' and 'Make Money Tearing Up Old Books and Magazines and Selling Them on eBay'.
Small town auction salerooms are excellent places to participate in a very special product sourcing method that involves buying extensive collections and reselling those items individually on eBay where profits can be staggering.
This idea works so wonderfully well because when a collector dies his beneficiaries may not share his interest in dolls or stamps, guitars or military badges, or whatever other items the deceased collected in profusion.
This means the new owners rarely know how to sell collectibles individually or at a price anywhere near their real market value and they can’t be bothered to find out. And so the most likely end result is for beneficiaries to sell the collection intact, usually in a local general saleroom where they won’t have to wait long for goods to be auctioned and the proceeds to be banked.
Compare this to the professional way to sell a valuable collection, being to enlist a specialist auction saleroom with a clientele of high interest, big spending buyers who receive catalogues by post containing professional images and extensive write ups that gives them confidence to place their bids without ever visiting the saleroom in person. However, the main problem for vendors is that most specialist salerooms have just one or two sales each year and product owners may have to wait twelve months or more for their cheques.
Compare that to local general salerooms holding weekly or fortnightly sales and converting goods to cash in a month at most.
So it follows, unlike international auction houses, you won’t find heavy bidding in high street general salerooms who rarely post catalogues and whose web site images are usually unprofessional and descriptions too short and don’t tempt absent bidders.
And because beneficiaries almost always favour fast cash over long term profits, that means finishing prices for their collectibles are likely to be much lower at general salerooms than from specialist international auction companies.
The end result is huge collections of extremely valuable goods being sold for a tiny fraction of their market value, just like a big bundle or military badges I told you about earlier.
You can copy my success by telephoning local auction companies every week or studying their online catalogues looking for collections of items that should fetch high prices sold separately on eBay and you can expect to buy at least two or three lots every week for a fraction of their eBay value.
But why stick to so few buys when you can have hundreds which you do by studying auctions further afield from their listings in ‘Antiques Trade Gazette’ or weekly auction updates in most regional weekend papers.
I won’t expand on this idea, not right now, but I can tell you it’s possibly the best way of all to make a lot of dosh from just a handful of low price buys which you can read about in our free eBook you can download from the top right corner of this page.
