Become An Auction MiddleMan!

I was flicking though the freeview channels earlier today & came across the auction channels, Bid TV & Pricedrop. I’m not big fan of these channels, but I personally know people who live by them - If someones birthday is coming up they they’ll flick over to pricedrop to see what gift they can get them.

I guess it’s the same buzz you have when bidding on eBay. I was talking to someone only the otherday, who’s used eBay for years but they said they still get the same buzz when bidding in those last seconds of the auction. Personally I used Buy-It-Now eighty percent of the times when I see something I need, but I guess that’s only as I haven’t the patience to wait 10 days till the auctions over.

Anyway, getting back on subject seeing those channels again reminded me of something I done a few years ago. It’s very simple & if your a little short of cash I’d recommend you give it a go.

Become an auction middleman! All I use to do is purchase watches off Bid TV & Pricedrop, & then relist them on eBay. After all when their auctioning the items on TV, their throwing all the information you need to put within your listings. It’s like copying & pasting someone elses auction.

I even looked up the watches online, see to see if I could get a few images of it & the recommended selling price. Normally it was significantly higher than what I paid for it. I done this about 10 times two years ago, & I never made less than £20 profit per watch.

The best part is as soon as you win the watch on Bid TV or Pricedrop, you can list it on eBay straight away. There’s no need to wait for it to arrive as you know your guaranteed to get it within days.

If you know your markets well, it may work with other goods being sold as well, after all there’s not a lot that these channels don’t offer these days? Good luck
