How Do You Buy At Auctions And Estate Sales For Resale?
Maybe you are selling on eBay. Maybe you regularly have garage sales or you have a booth in an antique mall. Whatever the reason, you need to know how to buy for resale. These tips will help you to know exactly what you are doing! Step 1 Get ready to shop. Explore antique shops, web sites such as eBay, and use price guides and reference books to determine what is popular, and current prices. Read decorating & design magazines -they often will predict the trends. This will take time -only practice will make you an expert at judging item values. Step 2 Be a smart shopper. Go to auctions and estate sales and preview the box lots. These are the less valuable items that end up being sold as a group. Some auctions even have “back room” sales, where almost everything is sold in box lots. Look for items that are selling from Step 1. If you find a treasure, buy the box lot, even if everything else is junk. You can take out what you want, rebox it, and sell it at auction at a later date. Accordi
