Extra Income|More Money Through Garage Sale

Here are a few tips to get you started earning extra income. As I previously mentioned garage sales can be a great source of items to sell on eBay. Here are a few tips I have used to maximize my money making through garage sales.
1. Research spend some time going through the local newspapers, church bulletins and any other source of local advertising to find neighborhoods holding garage sales.
2. Focus in on the neighborhood garages sales. Were looking for quantity of possible places to find items to eBay without spending too much gas money. Don't forget your goal is to make extra money not spend it on gas.
3. Dont was time stopping at garage sales with lots of baby clothes and accessories, unless of course this is what you plan on selling on eBay. Typically young couples just starting out and usually don’t have anything worth reselling hold these garage sales.
4. The early bird gets the worm! With all the shows on PBS and all the eBay promotional ads you'll be surprised at how many people are trying to find items at garage sales just like you. Get creative I often go to the areas having garage sales the night before when they are setting up. This can be a great way to make some real good extra income. You will be surprised at how many people are willing to let you shop early and get all the goodies before most people have ever seen them. There will of course be those people that get offended and tell you to come back in the morning but try to get a look at what they are selling and decide if its worth coming back for.
5. Time is money! Dont waste time looking at every thing they have to offer. Remember you are out looking for items to make extra money not for a new pair of clothes for the kids. The time you waste shopping or talking to the owners the more likely the next garage sale will sell out of all the good stuff.
6. Organize your day. Before heading out the door to hit the sales make a plan. Again making money is the goal not wasting it on gas. If you take the time to plan out a travel route to maximize your time and miles you'll be in far better shape to make a big profit.
7 Take a change. To often people pass up items that will be big money makers on eBay because they are afraid of buying something that wont sell. Your at a garage sale take some risks and buy a few items on sheer speculation. That whatchamacallit you bought for a dollar might end up being your biggest profit maker.
8. Items to look for: here are some categories that always sell well on eBay. Any collectibles dealing with history, war, fishing, sports, NASCAR, coke, and Barbie to name a few will sell well. You'll learn as you go along what will sell and what wont. Since your buying it garages sales, the prices will usually be low and your change to make some extra income off these items is very likely
9. Buy for profit- before buying an item ask yourself can I double my money? Triple would be nicer but, I usually plan on at least doubling my money or I dont buy it.
10. Start small and simple. Stick with buying things that are easy to pack and ship. Remember you'll be selling on ebay. Nobody wants to try and box up a sofa and ship it across the country. Stick with the small items. They are easier to pack, photograph and advertise.

Oh yea I forgot NEVER buy anything damaged. You cant get a good feedback reputation selling complete junk. I hope this help you getting started making extra income through the use of garage sale finds.
