Selling Refurbished Electronics on eBay

How many of you would like to resell electronics on eBay? I know when I got my start way back when I wanted to sell something I new a little about and had an interest in. I lost the fight to my wife and we started reselling apparel on eBay, but I still keep my eye open for electronic suppliers that would offer a decent profit margin for eBay sales.

Most of the suppliers I find today do not offer low enough pricing by the time you pay listing fees and final value fees on eBay. Profit margins are razor thin with electronics to begin with so adding additional costs to the sales equation leaves most aspiring eBay entrepreneurs in the dust.

I found a wholesale supplier of refurbished small electronics that I think will work for eBay sales. In fact, I have spent some time cross checking closed auction on eBay with this suppliers pricing. Researching closing completed auctions is simply a matter of choosing the “completed item” button when performing an advanced search. By doing this you can get a good idea if supplier pricing will allow enough profit margin to warrant an inventory purchase.

I have created a small chart to show a few items that I researched:

Item Closing Bids on eBay Supplier Price
SONY ICD-UX70 Digital Handheld
Voice Recorder ICDUX70
$59.99 – $79.99 $45.00 each
SONY MZNE 410 High Speed Walkman $23.99 $15.00 each
SONY NWZ-S615F 2GB Walkman MP3 Video $55 – $68.99 $36.00 each

While the above markups are not huge, I believe most of those who are selling small refurbished electronics on eBay are doing so in volume. Closing 100 auctions making $10 each amounts to a $1000 profit!

Here is a listing of what this supplier currently has to offer. Please note full contact details are also given on the PDF list.
