I've been online for a couple of years now and selling on eBay has been something that I've really grown to love. I actually work from home online and love it.

When it comes to eBay there is a huge market for all sorts of stuff and it can be very lucrative when you start to get some regular suppliers in your business, but you can start from home, from friends houses and from department stores, in fact it is best that you do this to work up some experience and gain feedback - that all important credibility that ebay thrives on. So, to help you get started & without further ado....

* HERE ARE MY TOP 5 LOCAL SOURCING IDEAS *

*Easy Local Sourcing Idea #1 - Your own house!
_______________________________________________

It is estimated that the average person has at least $1000 worth of 'stuff' lying
around their house that they are not likely to use again or could easily do without.
Some people could have $1000s more!

* DVDs

Did you know that some of your DVDs could still sell for as much
as you paid for them retail or more? I recently sold a DVD box set that I picked up
for $14.95 at a department store on sale and watched once. I wasn't particularly interested in watching it again and so I thought that I would list it on eBay to recover some money to invest in another DVD... I sold it for $29! That's TWICE what I paid for it! AND I watched it! Now I don't know about you but I am always happy to be paid $15 to watch movies! I just wish that it happened more often - but then again I don't tend to buy a lot of DVDs. You might have $100s even $1000s in extra cash at home here!

* CD's and XBox/PS2 games are the same!

* Your Old clothes

I have a pair of Ralph Lauren Polo jeans at home that I bought before I got married 4 years ago. They are now too small for me thanks to a more sedentary and lazy married lifestyle but I just can't part with them because I am determined to get back into shape and wear them again. Maybe I should just get rid of them! They are in perfect condition and I could sell them on eBay for about $60! I could put that towards some more fat jeans or get myself onto Weight Watchers for a few months! Anyway, what I am trying to say is that we all have some clothes at home that we probably won't wear anymore. These clothes are hot on eBay and there are some sellers who are making good money from selling 'Vintage' clothing exclusively.
Which brings me to...

* Baby and Toddler Clothing

A have two little kiddies age 1 and 3. I also have as a consequence
