start slow, small cheap fast selling items and max out your limits. That's all you can really do.

I go to govdeals and buy lots of random stuff at super-cheap prices. Then I use the gov. auction stuff as "low-risk account-builder stuff". Then after a few months I slowly start to transition into the niche the account will be selling in.

I find it kinda fun. I get experience shipping larger stuff that I usually wouldn't mess with and I've stumbled upon a few new niches while doing this.
