If you sell a dollar bill for 50 cents,you will find many buyers.
If you find something which sells well and is cheap and good,it is going to be something non discretionary like fungus nail treatment,cough medicine,teeth whitener,and wholesalers are selling at wholesale price,so where does it leave you?

You drove past them as well so there is no point here.

I gave money to one of them,but I dont think it really make much difference.
Once I ran into a BUDGET RENT A CAR salesman,I thiught they unload all the used cars to auction,but I guess not,they must have some beatup ones they try to sell themselves.
He said his buyer are in a catch 22 situation,to find a job,you need a car,to buy a car you need a job and their FICO scores are terrible,
He is glad that he is retiring

finding out what sells on ebay and amazon is not that hard , simple observation of selling activities would provide more than enough results

the issue is to be able to buy those items at a price that would allow to resell them with profit , in most cases such items would only be available to a limited number of sellers and the rest could only buy at prices that do not allow to resell on major marketplaces

Sellers will go to garage sales,storage auctions,local thrift shops to find items .
Some will buy half or whole load of dept stores returns and sell them one by one.
Your local supermarkets also have an area where they sell merchandise they no longer want to carry/slightly damaged =shampoo,wine,coffee pods,etc .
