The number one problem I have with making a living on eBay is finding more things to sell.
Hey, I've got a system down. Know how to market and sell a product. Can handle automated listers and feedback, etc. But when my goods are gone--that's it. Then what? It's no good having a turnkey auto-piloted business perfect business with NOTHING else to sell!
I'm not asking for any tips or anything, as I've trolled through the usual barrage of old threads about yard sales, storage auctions, estate sales, wholesalers, closeouts, etc. I know you "Power Sellers" here on AW are a tight lipped bunch anyway. Been there. Read that!
Done all that! But there's nothing good out there to sell that other people haven't already got their greedy little fingers on. What a dilemma!
Anyone else feel the same way about finding more things to sell?

No. And considering this is the fourth or fifth thread whining about the same thing that you've started in the past two weeks, I'm starting to think you're just a troll.

Aren't we snippy today, Bill? I think you should try a different line of work buddy.

I haven't seen Bill's prior posts, so I feel a little sympathy for him. A lot of folks get started in online auctions by selling off stuff that has laid around the house or out in the garage. They get some fun out of it, and then start thinking, "Hey, I could make money doing this". Unfortunately, they usually run out of "free stuff".
Bill, the bottom line is that you should have reinvested your money from your prior sales into more items to resell. But be warned, when you have to buy merchandise to sell, the profit margin goes way down. Welcome to retail selling.
