There is nothing more satisfying than searching and finding a collectable book (or whatever your interest is) in a yard sale or library sale and buying it for pennies and selling it for hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
If you think it is hard to find these kinds of deals, it is- but only if you don't know what you're looking for! Actually you have probably passed up the opportunity to purchase some valuable books at estate sales in the past, as we all have. But from now on you will be prepared!
The importance of specializing and knowing, inside and out, what you're doing cannot be overemphasized. I have been a rare and collectible book dealer for many years and the really successful dealers I know have specialized in one or two areas and they know their business!
Specialization helps you focus and you build a more valuable inventory.
Has this ever happened to you? When you purchase a new car suddenly you start to see a lot of “your” car on the roads? It seems as if everyone has the same car you do. You didn’t notice so many people were driving the same kind of car you had before because you had taken your old car for granted and didn’t focus on it- but now that you have a new car your focus has changed because of your interest in the new car.
The same thing happens in dealing and collecting. Once you pick a focus, a specialty, all of a sudden you are surrounded with great buying opportunities that you weren’t aware of before you started to focus.
You begin to see opportunities others are not even aware of. That’s the reason you specialize- to become aware of opportunities others with less focus than you pass up daily.
There really isn’t any selling involved in this business, only marketing. But you should be aware of WHY collectors buy your stock, what motivates them and how you can make your eBay items more attractive to potential buyers.
