An honor…and you are part of it!

Here’s a link to a page I just set up to ‘show off’ a bit of an astonishing honor I just received notice of.

I’m FULLY AWARE that due to the ‘real time’ nature of their ranking system that the momentum could swing away from me at any moment …but I’m honored to have spent this moment in the ‘spotlight’ regardless of how long it lasts.

It seems that being honest, creative and diligent pays off in this biz. Thanks for reading my stuff and for being part of the creative community I’m trying to build at MySilentTeam.com if you are a member there.

How to make $150 over and over on eBay…

Over the weekend I posted a simple ad on craigslist.com as an experiment.

Within 36 hours I’d earned $150!

Here’s what happened…

Craigslist.com is a no cost ad site that allows people all over the world to buy and sell things to each other.

Millions of people all over the world use craigslist every day!

In the “wanted” section I posted an ad that said, “I buy old electronics…” and I went on to list several of the hottest selling vintage electronic items on eBay.

It’s a fact that vintage electronics in many categories sell very well on eBay!

I had several people contact me about the ad and already have a certain $150 profit coming my way from that one ad.

If you want to hear the full story (it’s only four minutes long) about how to find these items, make sure you only buy the right items for reselling, and what ad to run, here’s what you need to do…

Scarcity Sells even on eBay

I walked past a store recently that was selling original autographed Larry Bird basketballs on a table display.

They had probably 50 balls all neatly boxed and stacked up on the table.

I came back by the same store a few days later and they had the same huge pile still waiting to be sold. It appeared to me that they weren’t being sold at the rate they’d hoped for.

Here’s an idea…

Question:

Do you think that store would have been better off putting out JUST ONE or TWO balls out with a nice sign pointing to them? There’s no need to lie about the quantity…just make it appear as if there is only one or two left and I would bet they would have sold several more than they did.

It’s basic human psychology.  Scarcity automatically creates a sense of urgency.

You should see how fast the last slice of pizza disappears at my house with four boys!

When selling the same item over and over again on eBay (such as an information products or any other product) you should create the illusion of scarcity by controlling the quantity of product that appears to be available.

For example, by using eBay’s tool called “Selling Manager Pro” you can make a single listing re-appear automatically each time it sells or expires. This is far better than having a listing that shows 40 in stock ready to ship.

There is also a tool (I make no commission mentioning this) called “Quantity Manager” that allows sellers to improve the apparent scarcity of their fixed price listings to encourage more buying activity. Quantity Manager automatically monitors your listings and updates their available quantity to your predetermined levels. This is a third party plug in application for eBay sellers using eBay’s “Selling Manager”.
