Pottery Barn Shopper: Hard To Find Products from PB!

All of a sudden...we're making a supplementary side income through our eBay business as PowerSellers, but the way got started with this was a bit unexpected, since that's not what we originally set out to do.

Here's how it happened....

We spent two and a half years remodeling our entire house. Kitchen. Bedrooms. Bathrooms. Living spaces. Office. Everything but the garage.

Along the way, we were pretty particular about how we decorated each room, and for the bedrooms especially, we decided we wanted certain Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids designs. But after combing through the PB catalogs and making our choices, we discovered that some of the designs we wanted were sold out when we headed down to the Pottery Barn store and visited the Pottery Barn Web site.

So we checked eBay...and in most cases, our choices weren't for sale on eBay, either!

Sounds like "End of Game," right?

Well, not being ones to give up so easily, we started doing some research...and made some discoveries along the way about how to locate brand new Pottery Barn items that are still in demand but "no longer available."

And we ended up getting exactly the items we wanted. All of them. And all at less than retail!!!

Then it hit us: If we're looking for certain hot "Sold Out" Pottery Barn items, maybe other people are too, and wouldn't it be great to help them save time and avoid some of the frustration we ran into while trying to hunt down the pieces we needed?

Long story short: We started applying the techniques we discovered for finding Pottery Barn items to build up our own inventory, and then started putting the items up on eBay. Three months later--the minimum amount of time required to build up eBay feedback and sales levels--we became "Bronze" level eBay PowerSellers and--thanks to our great customers--less than two months after that, we reached the "Silver" PowerSeller level.
