Things You'll Need:
- Internet
- Phone
-
Step 1
Scan Criagslist in your area for below market priced electronics which are small and can be easily stored away in a small closet or garage. Purchase a few of these items that are particularly priced below market value.
-
Step 2
Do the same on the weekend at yard sales. Purchase on those items that can be easily stored away which are priced low.
-
Step 3
Take pictures of all electronics and goods and post ads for each item individually on Craigslist.
-
Step 4
Your ad should reflect a markup from your purchase price and should provide a means of contacting you. Make it clear that you do not deliver as this will be far less passive for you to make sales.
-
Step 5
Wait for perspective buyers. They will come if you are patient. It may take a few weeks for a buyer to purchase some of these items because your prices are marked up.
-
Step 6
Each week make sure to repost your advertisement as Craigslist ads expire every seven days.
-
Step 7
Eventually you will make sales on your items and collect a profit on each item that you sell. I've found that selling used electronics on Craigslist works the best as these are perfect items for people to sell and buy frequently. They hold fairly decent value and are often compact. Enjoy the extra income when you make sales. It's not enough to live on but you could probably make an extra hundred a month if you really wanted to.
