Make Quick Cash on eBay or anywhere else

Posted by joshuak on Wednesday August 10 @ 4:36 pm

The eBay fiasco was a success, however not quite the way I was hoping. I did make a little money, I had an ROI of 6.7% which beats any savings account or money market fund. I did learn a little. I received the experience, and while they weren’t the first things I sold on eBay, they were the first items I had bought with the sole purpose of reselling for profit. I was much more interested in their success/failure and constantly monitored them compared to previous i-just-need-to-get-rid-ofit or im-sellings-because-im-upgrading auctions. I spent a lot more time and attention on the details while the auction was open and during the setup process. Because of the energy it requires, I of course would need to refine the process in order to make it more lucrative. (cheaper/more products, streamline the posting process, so forth).

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on any kind of alternative for making some quick cash (not stocks/bonds/etc) that required little effort.


Most of the advertising agencies don't really have an idea about web development. That is the reason why they deem it important to get a few web development courses. In this way, they can also take care of web design to some extent. Other more technical work like getting internet phone service is usually handled by the service providers. The latest webhosting review states an upward surge in use of pay per click as an seo tool, which is most probably the doing of these agencies.

    Out of curiosity, what did you buy and sell? I looked back a couple posts and couldn’t find any mention of eBay. eBay is fun, but I question how many people make a decent per-hour wage on it. Now, if you hired the right people to do all the work for you, that would be nice. Sorry, no get quick cash ideas from me, besides things like calling in and saving on your cable bill ;)

    I have a friend who tried selling collectables on ebay. He bought them on demand from a drop shipper. He had to manage a hundred auctions at once, and deal with angry e-mails about late shipments. In the end it wasn’t worth it. It can be tuff.
