Mesa Auctions: How to Make Money Reselling Auction Items (Part 3 of 4)

Friday, August 26th, 2011

This blog post is the third of a 4-part series that will describe how to make money reselling auction items.

  • Craigslist.  A free service, Craigslist is a huge online classified ads system with millions of items listed each day.  The web site is divided by city or region so you can target buyers in your home town.

Selling your Mesa auction merchandise on Craigslist eliminates packing and shipping.  This method becomes especially attractive if you have large items that would be difficult or impossible to ship.

  • Garage Sales.  You can’t get much easier than putting up a few signs in your neighborhood.  Preparing for your sale usually takes just a couple hours and involves no photos, descriptions or shipping.  Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and chat with your neighbors.

 

  • Consignment Stores.  A popular option in today’s economy, consignment stores provide another easy venue for reselling your Mesa auction finds.  You just drop off your items and let the consignment store handle everything else.  And chances are you’ll find a store not too far from your location.

This blog post is the second of a 4-part series that will describe how to make money reselling auction items.

After you’ve picked up some excellent Mesa auction deals, you can resell your items in a number of easy ways:

  • Online Marketplaces.  The web is home to hundreds of reputable online marketplaces.  Some web sites cater to specific types of items.  For example, Half.com is a great place to sell books, music and movies.  Gazelle.com buys all types of electronics – everything from digital cameras to computer monitors.  And, Cyberattic.com targets the antique and collectible market.  You can do an online search to determine specialty sites for your items.

Other online marketplaces allow almost anyone to buy and sell practically anything.  eBay, the world’s largest online auction site, gets billions of hits each month and claims more than 94 million active users.  According to eBay, the site sells $2,000 worth of goods every second.  Sites like eBay and Amazon can provide lots of visibility for your products.

Selling your merchandise through online marketplaces is pretty straight forward.  Basically, you set-up an account, set your price, create your listing with photos and descriptions, manage the listing and then conclude the transaction with a buyer.

Auction Systems is on Twitter – Find Phoenix AZ Auctions

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

It seems like Twitter has taken the online world by storm! Moms, dads, teens, grandparents, marketing executives and celebrities alike are creating Twitter accounts and sharing bits and pieces of information with the world.

What is Twitter? Twitter is a free service that allows users (Tweeple) to send and read other users’ updates (aka tweets). Twitter is basically a stripped down version of a blog. A blog (we can even use this one as an example) has attributes like categories, titles and sometimes very verbose posts that can require a lot of time. Twitter doesn’t have any of these things, nor does it require a great amount of time.

In fact, a single Twitter post can have a maximum of 140 characters. That amount of space forces tweeters to get their message across in a very concise manner. Users can tweet on the web or via phone, making it very easy to send updates.

The cool thing about Twitter is that as a user, you can follow other tweeters (i.e. your friends, your favorite pizza place, your favorite celeb, your mom) and in turn, they can follow you. We use our Twitter account to send updates to our followers about upcoming auctions. Wanna keep tabs on our auction schedule?
