Bring On the Recession!
publication date: Oct 30, 2008
Hi, Some people say there's a recession afoot which can only be really bad news! Incredibly bad news! Unless of course you're one of those people whose business positively flourishes during a recession, and, even if you don't have a business likely to flourish in a recession, isn't it time you got down to growing one?
In fact, though you may not know it, you probably already have a recession proof business, namely on eBay, what you probably don't realise is the amazing opportunities presenting themselves if and when a recession takes hold. When recession strikes people turn to buying items second hand rather than new, they look for cheap rather than expensive goods, they look to cut costs anyway they can and that means not paying travel and parking fees to purchase those budget buys on the high street. It's much better to cut costs to the bone by buying online and having items delivered at a fraction of the cost of travelling to obtain those items personally. Where better to buy second hand goods than on eBay, once a top class collectibles site, and latterly selling everything from one off high value antiques to really low price second hand and budget goods? Consider that television news channels and newspapers are forever reporting massive losses on the high street, with virtually every shop being affected by the credit crunch and pending recession, with one or two notable exceptions. Those notable exceptions are Pound Shops and Charity Shops where record sales figures are being reported for sales of second hand and deeply discounted goods. One major charity reports a run on baby hardware, such as cots and pushchairs, sometimes costing hundreds of pounds brand new, but easily fetching £50 second hand and almost certainly much more when relisted on eBay. Pound Shops also report record sales, unsurprisingly because evidence show much of what's being bought is resold on eBay for two or three pounds profit per sale. It's the Pound Shops that interest me most, and might also interest you, when you consider all you need do to profit is buy a few test items, invest £50 or so, then list those fifty items on eBay, see what profits and Second Chance Offers ensue, then go spend the whole lot on more Pound Shop stuff. Buy another fifty test items, test those, if all goes well, now you have one hundred repeat profit items. Then as the Americans say, 'Rinse and Repeat', do the same thing next week, and the week after that, and so on. We have a special report planned to show how to make money from buying budget goods and reselling them on eBay and the subject will also feature in our next main newsletter. If you'd like to be kept in the picture about buying low and selling high, you can sign up for our free report, due in a month or so, by emailing me at poundshops@clippingsfactory.com ************************* eBay Rules! eBay Rules! Let's not forget that eBay is one of the world's leading marketplaces, much bigger than any other online auction site. But eBay is not the ONLY place to make big profits online, it just happens to be the one most people know best. But 'BLINKERED' is the best way to describe any business that fails to recognise other marketing opportunities existing outside their normal comfort zone, such as Amazon, for example, and even ClickBank, PayDotCom, and many others. We pride ourselves at 'eBay Confidential' on covering much more than mere auction selling in our newsletter and weekly eLetter and we know many of you are already acting on our recommended additional money making options. In future eLetters and in our main newsletter we'll be covering additional marketing options for you to consider. And, because we only want what's best for you, it makes sense to ask our readers to recommend specific opportunities they'd like our team of experts to investigate. If you'd like to offer any suggestions, email me, avril@clippingsfactory.com, and we'll consider all your views at 'eBay Confidential's' next editorial meeting. ************************* Publishers Pick!
