For example, several times when I was looking at a power seller, they would state either in their eBay ad or About Me page what company there were buying their product from, or state that they specialize in discontinued products from this particular company. The key to cloning any of sellers is to read these statements, contact their sources and set up an account.

I used this technique and found out this seller concentrated on two main computer brands. Once again, they weren't a large company; so I said to myself, I can buy from this source. Now of course, no seller in his right mind will give you that information, so you need to mine eBay for contact gold. I went to http://www.google.com/ search engine and started to type in company's products to get contact information.

A Super sales secret is that virtually every company has a Liquidation Department.

You need to get to that department and get on their bid list. This sometimes takes several calls and perseverance. Remember, once you are on these bid lists, you can make $3,000-$10,000 per month. These are not wholesale sources. These are 1/2 cost of wholesale sources. These are "top of line suppliers" that you need to target. You only need 1 or 2 and you will have more products that you know what to do with.

4 questions to ask a before buying a large quantity of products for resale.

1. Have you checked eBay-completed auctions to get an idea of demand? Using free eBay search functions to view completed auctions. Viewing completed listing we give you a snapshot of what eBay market will bear.

2. Did you also check completed auctions under multiple search terms? You can apply this question to any of your eBay sales. I always research product name title and any descriptions even prior to listing an auction up for sale. (This will not only increase your success rate but also will also give you more bids and higher ending value of your eBay auction.)

3. Did you account for any additional storage fees for these items)? This question is designed to see what if any additional fees you may incur storing this product over a longer period of time.

4. How long will it take to sell through load of product? This question is designed to find out how much time to sell through you entire load at which point your profit would be calculated If it take over 6 months to a year this may not be a load of product you want to purchase.
