I found a way New Users can accumulate feedback on items to sell and buying or purchasing  them at low to next to nothing for cost.

Magazines are all over ebay, why do we buy a magazine or as I call them "zines"? Answer; for an article. I have put up about 300 articles on ebay in the Model Railroad catagory, I have had a success rate of about 85% sold. I have sold them for a cost of $1.75 to $3.99 depending on the article and how old it is.

The way I merchandise the article is I go to my comic book store or online store that sells "Backer Boards" & Magazine Bags". At first your cost will be around $20.00 for a hundred of each....but when you get going and find out how easy it is to sell an article at little cost to you, you may want to buy a case of each.

Here is one of my articles ready to go:

The only catch is this article can not be a copy, it must be the original, you must say that in your description.

Speaking of the your description, for detail I never put down the year or title of where I found the article....I might say that this is a leading model airplane magazine where I found this article on the "Sparrowhawk". What's the sense in giving that information out, to have that buyer go to the local library to view the magazine and copy it?

Cost....$0.08 for the backer board and about $0.10 for the magazine bag, $0.55 for postage and your selling price is let's say $2.00. Profit of 63.50%....not bad if this only sells for $2.00!

Why not sell or list the zine?

Answer:

You can list it here on ebay in hopes to get from $1.00 and up for it, you have a low chance of selling it on the first listing week of 7-days. If it doesn't sell you will list it again and again....at a cost of $0.35, your digging a hole here folks!

I got started listing zine articles by having a book store owner hand me a box of PlayGirl and Playboy zines, the articles in these zines are the best and they will sell for you.

So after you accumulate 200 feedbacks, all positive by the way, than you can move onto your prime movers and get what you really want....Cash!

 

Email me if you have any questions, I will be more than helpful to get you moving to more positive feedbacks.

 

Thanks for allowing me to write this guide for you,
