Niche Market Finder

Image via CrunchBaseOne of eBay's new tools that can really help you find the best products to sell on eBay is the Niche Market Finder. According to eBay you should visit the Niche Market Finder:

Visit Niche Market Finder to uncover little known and most wanted items on eBay

Identify new products you could sell
Find out about hidden treasures in your garage
Discover interesting products and good deals

I did a quick search using horse as my keyword and left all the other options alone. The Niche Market Finder was able to give me a listing of related products that have sold recently on eBay. The information provided is:

Plantation saddle

Timer Period:	2 wks average
Max Price	$22.1
Average Price	$22.1
Demand (#users)	125
Quantity Available	1
Quantity Sold	1
Conversion Ratio	100%

There is also a picture of the item listed as well. Overall a very useful tool. Thank you eBay.

What Have I done!

Image via Wikipedia

I have been selling on eBay since 2000 so why I am not new to the business scene, I am still pretty green. This year I decided to apply for my business tax # and take my hobby to the next step.

So I set up shop on eBay because I am familiar and so far it's going well. eBay business is tough with the fees and the small profitability of most items so I am branching out. I will set up a site on freewebs and maybe also on eCrater and see if I can't get some profit going.

I will try and update my blog with my struggles and any advice I obtain along the way. Maybe I can help some poor soul from making some of the mistakes I have.
