Buying Discounts To Sell Online

Buying discounts can turn basic work online into a lucrative online business.I have been selling discounted items online for over 5 years now.I started by selling shirts(like those in the picture)that were custom made by me.
One day while browsing in a store I noticed a 50% mark down on 10.1 megapixel digital cameras.A friend of mine who I call "My brother from another mother" went to a club in Philly with my cousin and had my 3.3mp camera stolen,putting me in the market for another one.Since the cameras were on sale I decided to grab two and sell one on ebay.I took pictures of the shirts I make like the one seen in the photo and found a stock photo of the camera to use in my ad.I started the bidding at the price I paid for one camera, and added $10.00 to the shipping since it was new and marked down so low.At the end of the auction I made back the price of both cameras.I started frequenting the areas where stores had Items marked down,and really made good money selling on Ebay (I'm currently on hiatus from ebay,but you can see keitht7rap has always been a member in good standing).After years on ebay I devised a plan.I started looking for online stores with clearance merchandise.Here are some basic tips and techniques for finding and selling discount items.

1.Get an online auction or classifieds account.

eBay.com
Ubid.com
Craigslist.com
Amazon.com Amazon.com is great (its not just for books anymore).
2.You can visit a local Store like walmart.com,Bestbuy,or Target and write down Items on sale.Be sure that the sale will be for enough time to post your products and get them to your customer.You can also go online to there website and find clearance items.I have learned that if you google 50%, clearance sale,or discounts you can find stores that may have good merchandise to sell also.
Pricegrabber.com
Bizrate.com
Shopzilla.com
Use these sites to get a ballpark figure for how much the item sells brand new.
3.List item at 70% of its average store value and add in shipping costs.
Example: a camera sells for $100.00 list at $70.00 if it was on sale for $50.00
Usually for electronics on ebay I did a one day sale and added $5.00 into my shipping cost to recoup the cost of delivery.
4.Once your Item is posted,be sure to keep in touch with those inquiring about your items.You must interact positively with your customers.Word of mouth advertising can make or break your business.
5.Once your Item is sold and shipped repeat steps 1-4 to further increase profits.
