I have a garage sale every 6 months. In order of popularity:\n\nBaby & Kids furniture\nToys\n(Very) cheap electronics and consumer products\nFurniture\nVideos\n\nAll the rest (clothes, knick-knack, dishes, broken appliances and electronics, books, and all kind of crap I find laying around in the house) is hard to sell, even hard to give away sometimes.

I think many people look around their homes for things they don't want anymore. Another great place to find items is at local garage sales. Try to get the best deals possible,and sell that on Ebay. Here is a link to a wholesaler that sells the aTOP TEN hottest items...try them!Good luck.\nhttp://www.toptenwholesale.com

whoa there, as an auctioneer myself I'd say go with the antiques angle. Ever been at a dinner party when someone has asked 'what do you do?'. financial types get short thrift- antiques people get lots of attention.

I frequent antique shops and see them often , I've found one of the largest antique malls in my area and they sell about 90% of them for five dollars in the box in new condition . Some rarer ones from when they first appeared bring as much as 20.00 new condition in the box. So you make check antique shops and perhaps flea markets and find someone who is expert in this area . These have just been my observations.

make sure you research keywords first.  See if anybody else is selling a similar item and see how they're positioned.  Think of it from the buyers standpoint - what would you search for if you were looking for one.\n\nMake your descriptions as detailed as possible and provide good images.  You'll sell anything on ebay.

The key success factor is: Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.\n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. One success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

Begin with things no longer needed around your home, ask friends and family if they have things to donate to you to sell. Everyone has stuff laying around. Just use things you have laying around to start with. It will give you practice and you will soon learn how to write the descriptions and make sure you put good pictures for people to view your item. That is the only way they know your product is really what they are looking for, remember a picture tells 1000 words as long as it shows what you are selling. \n\nHope this help and good luck with your auctions:)

You can buy things on garage sells and sell them for more money also you can buy items in big quantities so when you sell then individually you can make some kind of profit.

Basically anything that people need, but would not buy in the supermarket. I buy on EBay, artwork, furniture, carpets etc. There are also good deals on PC games, electronics. You would do well selling those.

yard sales are gold mines for anyone. bachelors love them cause they get cheap furniture and stuff. Moms love them cuz of the baby clothes, etc. women and men love the old furniture and things they can redo and the antiques you can find there.

Have you tried eBay? That is usually a good place to start. Otherwise you may have to go to garage sales, but I think eBay would be easier.

Estate and garage sales are usually priced about the same, mostly pretty good, occasionally priced too high. \n\nUsually I have gotten my best deals at "moving sales". Lots of times ppl haveperfectly good things for sale, and are moving somewhere where they don't have room to take them. \n\nAt an estate sale, because you have the items that an older person accumulated over a lifetime, lots of times there are more antique and collectibles at an estate sale. Sometimes you can get some really nice things that way reasonably. Also you can get lots of household items that you might need if you are just starting out. \n\nThe only time I have found estate sales to be pricy is if they have an antiques dealer or some other sort of professionals run it. I usually avoid those, because they tend to be overpriced. I hope this helps, and "happy sale-ing"! :-)

You can go to yard sales, garage sales, and thrift shops, pawn shops, and any places that have discounts. Yard sales will usually be on a Saturday.
