A few weeks ago I was desperate for some money.

I decided that something HAD TO GO. Regretfully I decided to sell my laptop.

I searched on ebay to see how much they were selling for, and to compare the quality of those which were being sold against my own laptop.

I saw auctions which were just about to finish, and one of the auctions was the exact same laptop as mine.

Looking down I realised that there had ben 18 different bidders for that laptop.

Only 1 person could win.

So, then the light bulb switched on inside my head.... !

I decided to contact every one of the other bidders who were successful and mention mine.

Of course, they were jumping all over themselves with excitement because they REALLY wanted that particular laptop and had been deeply upset that someone else had outbid them at the last minute.

Pipped at the post!

Anyway, it was almost as though I was their knight in shining armour because here was me with the exact same laptop giving them a second chance to own it.

6 people came back to me within a few minutes, and I had 3 offers within 30 minutes.

1 hour later I drove and met up with one of the buyers, and came home later that day with a huge grin on my face and a wad of cash in my hand!

Now this is absolutely true and happened to me a few weeks ago.

When you are trying to sell ANYTHING online these days, people always tell you that you need the right targetted buyers to be viewing your goods.

Here you have not only the right targeted buyers, but you also have buyers who had just opened up their wallets or purses and had their credit cards out ready to make payment there and then.

This is a completely EXCELLENT WAY to market anything you could ever imagine - especially as eBay is the worlds biggest online marketplace with millions of products and buyers online every day.

Think another way.

Utilise some resources to find out what people are buying, then go out and buy bucket loads at trade prices, and start contacting members as well as placing your auctions.

This will ensure your sales go out faster than you can get the goods in!

If you have strange goods, you can still sell them!. Just search ebay for similar items, if people are bidding on them, youve got a pile of people who you can send an email to and make money from.

Simple supply and demand - you have just become a middle man and put buyer and product together. If the buyer is happy then everyone is happy.

Thanks for enjoying this article. I don't think anybody else is using this technique yet, but it won't be long before everyone is talking about this!
