How To Find A Whole Lotta Product

Neil Bartlett



Whether you are a beginning auction seller or advanced, you
are always faced with the age old auction question:

"What Do I Sell Now?"

I want to cover an area on eBay that most sellers tend to overlook
or they don't even know exists. These categories can provide you
with a great source of products to sell, they are called the
Wholesale Lots categories.

Most major category groups contain a section labled Wholesale
Lots, this is usually listed at the bottom of the group list.

If you go to eBay's main category listing page and drill down
into a major category you will be able to see if that category
has a Wholesale Lots sub-category. It is usually the last
sub-category listed.

Take Jewelry & Watches for example, their Wholesale Lots group
is category 40131.

What does this have to do with product sources?

A lot of the sellers in these categories are people that have
collections or large lots that they are to lazy to break up, or
they want to just get rid of the whole lot at once, however,
if you look at the pieces in the lot and calculate out what
they could be valued at individually you can see the true worth
compared to what they are being offered for.

So next time you are searching through a specific category, see
if there is a related Wholesale Lots section and spend the time
looking, you never know, you just might find a truck load of
goods that will keep you in merchandise for a long time.
