Re: What items to sell on eBay
 

The problem buying from Chinese sellers in China is that they also sell on Ebay and amzn,how can you compete with your supplier?
and they offer free shipping from China.
I found many UK sellers on Ebay USA selling vintage and antique items.
UK holds the largest antique show twice a year outside London,you may want to browse there.
There are always wholesale districts in major cities,I am sure there is one in London.

I found my best supplier in a local trade show in 2000,I have been doing business with them since then and made quite a bundle!
to offset the travel expenses,they will sell some low price items,I bought some and took them home.
Now they dont sell these low price items anymore,as people will buy them and call it a day,bypassing their expensive items!

buying from liquidation dealers,the more you are wiling to pay,the better the content.
I know a lady who will buy sterling silver jewelry in huge lot and sell them one by one on Ebay.
you can also go to local wholesale districts and look around but some would want to see your resale certificate so bring it with you.
also attend local trade shows,jewelry is one,electronics,clothing,arts,time pieces,books etc.
The largest convention in LAS VEGAS is the dollar store trade shows,book your room early.
Tuscon,AZ hosts the largest jewelry show in the world,you will find other items as well,not just jewelry.
There are also book shows,one held in Chicago for remainder books,university published books,also dvds and cds,you will find sellers from Germany,UK,also find buyers coming from Australia,India etc.
start with local trade shows and local wholesalers,you may find something interesting and the items are MIB mint in box condition instead of buying from liguidation sites,these are returns and could be defective
