You will have to forgive me as my head is still spinning….I just spent about 45 minutes viewing closed ebay auctions for Hermes Handbags. I will never complain again when my wife brings home a $16 purse from Walmart!

The following ebay auctions closed with winning bids:

Hermes 35 Vert Olive Brikin Bag  $11,000.00

Hermes Vermillion Red Birkin Chevre $7,600.00

Hermes Kelly 35 Black Box Birkin Bag $7,500.00

Honestly what do you do with a handbag that is worth more than the average four year old automobile? I guess if someone is willing and has the funds….go for it!

Lets get back on track. On occasion a few blog readers here who will email and ask where to buy Louis Vuitton, Hermes and other high, high-end designer labels. Forget about it! I’m not even Italian and I love that line….

There is no such thing as a Louis Vuitton or Hermes outlet, nor do brands as these hold any kind of sale or clearance AT ANY LEVEL. The only way you maintain a high value brand is to overly protect its distribution. Manufacturers will not allow a designer brand floading the secondary retail market. Dispel any dreams of becoming a huge Italian handbag reseller on ebay…

You can however purchase handbags on a liquidation level with name brands such as Dooney & Bourke, Michael Kors, Nine West, Fendi, Gucci, XOXO, Kipling, DKNY, Guess, Kenneth Kole, Liz Claiborne, Ecco, Rampage, Bettysville, Betsey Johnson, Young Attitude, Calvin Klein, Coach, Prada, Steve Madden, Kathy Van Zeeland, Fossil, Lucky Brand, Le Sport Sac, Giani Bernini, Elliott Lucca and others.

Designer Wholesale Handbags

I surfed over to Liquidation.com and noticed a few handbag and purse wholesale auctions.  I know of several boutique owners and ebay Power Sellers who are buying high end shelf pull handbags and purses right on Liquidation.com

Customer returned electronics seems to be a very sought after category of wholesale liquidation merchandise. EBay and Flea Market vendors are continuously requesting information here at our blog about sourcing pallets and truckloads.

In talking with ebay sellers who are selling salvage electronics I was amazed to find out that a majority of them actually have no “tech” experience when it comes to fixing broken items often found in salvage pallets. I have been told that if you are honest and up front when listing ebay auctions even the broken items will end with closing bids….How can this be?

I had to start my own research on eBay as I was skeptical to say the least. I immediately went to ebay and using terms like, “Broken Digital Cameras” in the Advanced search tab I was astounded at the results! I did in fact find that many of the newer models were selling….even though they were damaged!

Lets think about this for a moment…Ebay provides a selling venue that attracts thousands of individuals who have the ability to accuratelately test broken or damaged electronics. So, what might be garbage to you or me could be a “Diamond in the Rough” to a small electronics repair technician.

I get the feeling that tech savvy ebay shoppers are snatching up broken DVD players, digital cameras, TV’s, stereos and fixing them with specialized knowledge and equipment. Customer returned electronics will sell on ebay.

There are many emails that come into this blog asking how to get started buying salvage electronics. A lot of the pallets and truckloads of electronics found on the Internet from liquidators are very expensive. The pallet pictured above was purchase from Liquidation.com for $234.12. In fact you can bid on small case lots of customer returned digital cameras, TVs, DVD players and Boom Boxes at Liquidation.com, which is a large online auction offering excess inventories, overstocks and shelf pull merchandise.

I researched some closed auctions at Liquidation.com and found small case lots of high-end digital cameras selling for an average of $8 per unit. At prices this low you can “Test The Waters” and not get stuck with a bunch of un-sellable merchandise. Most of the digital camera only auctions were closing with bids between $150-$500!

Pictured below is a small pallet of DVD players which sold with a final bid of $9 per unit. If you are thinking about starting an Ebay business selling name brand electronics checkout the Auctions Closing Today at Liquidation.com
