Hi,  When I first started selling on Ebay it was because my Mom (an Aigner purse lover) had started buying on Ebay.  One day she suggested I sell on Ebay and I thought no way...I do not know one thing about selling.  Well...I decided to give it a try and sold some of her older Aigner Purses, much to my surprise I was making some pretty good money!   After the purses ran out just about everything in my house was subject to be sold on Ebay...my dogs started hiding from me!!!

I mainly sold clothes and started doing research on what would sell.  I started typing in names that I had seen at thrift stores or yard sales and sure enough...there they were.  My first big sale was a St. John Suit that I paid 6.88 and it sold for over $150.00!!  So I thought hmmmm..how can I find out what really sells???  I started typing in names...Ralph Lauren Purple label suit, sort by highest price...and there was my pot of gold.  I had a gorgeous Men's suit in perfect condition that I had paid $10.00 for.....it sold for over $500.00!!!!

If you are thinking about selling on Ebay...do some research...you don't have to know name brands to start with...just type in Jeans in the search engine then click on Sort by highest Price...and there you will see what brands are really good sellers!!

All of my friends cannot believe how I know about name brands.....I have always been a jeans girl and didn't know the difference between a St. John from a Sag Harbor...but I learned.  I became a power seller 3 times and I have loved every minute that I sold on Ebay.  Due to the demands of my full time job I have had to take a break...but I am stocking up on items to sell.

So don't be afraid....jump in and get your feet wet....you will be very happy that you did!
