biggest profit items on ebay

StaffsSW

It always seem to be the unlikely lines that make the most.

I spotted something last week that I can buy in virtiually every high streets, but there are only two other sellers (possibly the same person, but not 100% sure yet) on ebay, both seemingly doing very well from this product. I've managed to get a credit account with the importer, so next week, there will be three sellers of this product...

I make hair accessories for a niche market which I sell for 250% profit. I do not shift many, it won't make me rich but every penny counts.

Shabby chic curtains, tablecloths, bed spreads etc. I just popped an old bed throw on (good condition) that was intended for church jumble (confession needed!) and within 24hrs had 32 watchers! I also get outbid regularly on shabby chic items.
I work for an airline and many freebies sell well too!

NEXT childrens clothes lol, and retro computer stuff used to be good for me selling wise/ plus size clothes especially alternative style. I now just buy on there. had too many bad experiences and the fees don't make it worthwhile for the niknaks i have now.

Large size clothes are sold for peanuts most of the time, even new ones. There are some many people purchasing on sales and reselling for a 50% markups that makes it rather unattractive as a business.

Unless you find something that is more sought after I suppose, or you want to go for volume (if you have enough space and money to invest in stock)

But maybe other people have spotted opportunities I've missed?
