        <![CDATA[Selling items on eBay is one of the easiest and best ways to make money online. One of the obstacles you may encounter when first starting out is locating products to sell. Here are 5 easy places to find items to sell on eBay:<br /><br /><b>1 - Store sales</b>. Keep an eye out for ongoing sales, such as an end of season sale, at local stores. Seasons end at different times in different places. Summer may end in one place, but not in another, which means seasonal-related products are still highly relevant for customers in other regions. Also keep a look out for clearance sales. Stores need to clear their shelves of old products to stock new ones, and there are still many customers that are interested in those products that are marked on clearance.<br />]]>
        <![CDATA[<b>2 - Garage sales</b>. You may have already heard other people mention
garage sales as an easy place to find items to sell on eBay, or perhaps
you thought of it on your own, and that's because garage sales are,
indeed, a very ideal place to find items to sell on eBay. Many times,
not only do you find items that are of a decent quality, but you also
tend to find rare items as well! Items at garage sales are always
priced reasonably because the owners don't want to keep anything. They
are also usually open to bargaining. You may consider going to garage
sales at the end of the day and offer one price to buy everything left
over.<br />
<br />
<b>3 - Flea Markets</b>. Flea markets are similar to garage sales, but they
tend to be on a much larger scale. If you're serious about finding
quality items at a flea market, then you need to make sure you show up
as early as possible. If you already know what you're looking for, then
it won't take much time for you to get the best deals, but if not then
you will need some time to browse and scan what is available. Then you
can easily get what you need, go back home and put it up on eBay for
sale.<br />
<br />
<b>4 - Local auctions</b>. Auctions are a fantastic place to find items to
sell on eBay. If you're unfamiliar with where and when auctions occur
in your city, then simply check your local newspaper. They may require
for you to travel a little bit, but once you get there you will find
many items that are perfect to sell on eBay. You can also find items
for wholesale prices at auctions, which you can buy and double or
triple your money from selling.<br />
<br />
<b>5 - Your own home</b>. Last, but not least, is your own home! Believe it or
not there are many items that are lying around your house that you have
most likely forgotten about, and many of these are absolute treasures
for eBay. Start by checking in your closets, and then take a look in
your garage, attic and basement. If you find a used item, check to see
if other similar items are already being sold as used on eBay. Many
customers don't mind if an item is used, because they simply want to
collect it. With this way, you will clean your home of unwanted stuff,
and make some money at the same time!<br /><br /><b>Suggested Resource:</b><br /><ul><li>See Chris LIVE (in person or over the web) at <a href="http://www.foreclosuresmass.com/ttk/">Turning the Key</a>.<br /></li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[Do you dream of working for yourself? Are you tired of working a dead end job and someone else getting the profits? If you feel this way, now is the time to change your life. Don't continue to work to give someone else the profit. Start your own business on eBay. You will find that eBay is a great at home business for a variety of reasons and I can guarantee they will all appeal to you. <br /><br />One of the top reasons to start your own eBay at home business is that it allows you to be your own boss. You won't have to worry about someone telling you what to do all day long. You will make every decision, from deciding what products you should list to the prices you will ask for them. The best part of this is that you also get all the credit. No more working an eighty-hour workweek only to hear someone tell your boss, "Great job!" If you sell products for someone else on eBay, they'll be telling you and only you that you did a great job. <br /> ]]>
        <![CDATA[Working out of your home will allow you to live the life you have
always wanted. Just imagine not having to get up every morning to rush
to work. Instead, you can sleep in and get up after your body has had
its required amount of rest. You can take the time to enjoy the morning
newspaper with your coffee and not have to worry that you will be late
for work. If you want, you can even work in your pajamas. No one is
going to see you and no one will care that you responded to your emails
wearing nothing but your robe. <br />
<br />
You will also find that working for yourself allows you time to do what
you want and when you want. You have no schedule. Working at home gives
you a more flexible lifestyle. If you don't want to get up early to go
to work, you don't have to. If you prefer to work late in the evening,
you can do it. No one is telling you what hours you have to set. Your
family will appreciate knowing you are not going to miss out on any
more important moments in their lives. It's a great feeling to be able
to schedule the hours around your family's needs. <br />
<br />
An eBay at home business can also bring in a ton of profits. Haven't
you always dreamed about giving your family everything they want? Have
you missed out on family vacations because you couldn't afford them?
Don't let the lack of funds stop you from giving your family everything
they desire. Your business will allow you the life of luxury that you
and your family have always dreamed of having. <br />
<br />
Don't spend the next year of your life living by the rules that others
place upon you in the workplace. Now is the time to take action and
start your own eBay business at home. You only need a computer and
Internet connection to take advantage of this opportunity and no
extensive computer skills are required. It's an easy business to get
started. If you don't get your business started soon, you may spend the
next few years regretting your decision. <br />

        <![CDATA[You can find hundreds of books on the art of real estate negotiation... but, pardon my frankness, many of these books offer stale strategies and tactics that just do not work.

<br /><br />
For example, in many books you can find the ABC rule - "always be closing." That is, you want to have a bunch of deals in the works and you want to get to "yes" as quickly as possible in order to close that deal.<br /><br />However, getting to "yes" ASAP means you leave out a bunch of steps in
the middle, such as carefully pre-qualifying your prospects by asking
lots of questions. I call this process "Getting to 'no" first" -
meaning, you weed out those who aren't serious about a deal. <br /><br />
It's also why I've simplified negotiation down to three cardinal rules:
the person who mentions price first loses, get to know your opponent
before you begin negotiations, and always get your agreement in
writing.
<br />]]>
        <![CDATA[<b>Negotiation Cardinal Rule #1: The person who mentions price first loses.</b>

<br /><br />
When I first started doing lease options, I had a woman call me to see if I had a specific type of property that she could then lease to own.  She had $8K put aside but unfortunately at the time, I didn't have anything in inventory that met her requirements. A few weeks later I found a property and called her about it and said that if she liked what she saw after doing a drive by, we could do business that very day.

<br /><br />
She ended up loving the property. We did the walk through and as she and I talked, I knew that $8K was sure money in my pocket. 

<br /><br />
"Jim," she said. "I have a problem. Remember how I said I had $8K? The problem is I don't have $8K."

<br /><br />
My heart fell clear to my stomach and my knees went soft. "Uh oh," I thought.

<br /><br />
She then went on to say, "I don't have $8K, I have $10K. Is that ok?"

<br /><br />
Now, if I had opened my big mouth and had said at the beginning of our negotiation talk, "I'll need a check for $8K," I would have never learned she had an additional $2K in her pocket. The moral being " <b>never be the first person to talk about price.</b> 

<br /><br />
Instead, ask lots of open-ended questions that will give you solid information in order to determine where people stand. For example, when I'm talking to a person who is looking for a house or a lease option, I ask questions such as, "It sounds like you're living in a great place. Why do you want to move?" (What I'm really asking is, "Are you a deadbeat?") 

<br /><br />
Or, if I'm sitting at someone's kitchen table and he's spilling his guts to me about his house going into foreclosure, I ask, "If you're able to sell the property, what you would you be comfortable asking for it?" Having the property owner tell me first what he wants for the property is <b>akin to him showing me his cards before he makes a bet</b>. In other words, it gives me the advantage.

<br /><br />
<b>Negotiation Cardinal Rule #2: Learn about your opponent before meeting.</b>

<br /><br />
One of the first things lawyers do when preparing to negotiate is consult a lawyer's directory. They want to know which school the opposing lawyer attended, what firm they work for, if they've made partner, etc. And, if you're the lawyer who works for a larger firm, you'll have the opposing lawyer come to your office in order to intimidate him or her with your fine furnishings, large conference room, magnificent view, etc.  

<br /><br />
The same principal - know you opponent - works in real estate negotiations. For example, if you're working with a bank on a short sale, you'll want to get to know the bank and its methods of operating and whether its personnel are "user friendly" or a bunch of pit bulls. One bank I work with is very confrontational and negotiating with them is like pulling teeth. I learned very quickly that I have to have all my facts, comparables, etc. ready and at hand when dealing with them because if I screw up, I do not get a second bite at the apple.

<br /><br />
Knowing your opponent also means learning what kind person he or she is. For example, analytical people or number crunchers will want you to substantiate and document everything. Touchy-feely people, on the other hand, will want to talk things out.

<br /><br />
To learn more about your opponent, talk to people in your network, do some online research (i.e. do a Google search), and attend your local REIA meetings - people love to talk and by asking questions and being a good listener, you're sure to pick up some good "off the record" data.

<br /><br />
<b>Negotiation Cardinal Rule #3: Always get everything in writing.</b>

<br /><br />
Although we all want to believe other people are good and honest, the sad truth is that disagreements can and do occur in real estate negotiations, which is why you need to put all agreements in writing. This is especially important in Massachusetts, where verbal agreements are not enforceable.

<br /><br />
If you do get a verbal agreement, at the very least follow it up with an email or letter outlining the conversation and what was agreed to by each of you. If you're dealing with a bank regarding a short sale, send a quick fax to whomever you spoke with stating something like "These are the parameters of the deal and this is what we agreed on" and then list everything discussed in the conversation. Be sure to sign and date it and call the person to ensure he or she received your fax. 

<br /><br />
Developing your negotiation skills takes time but is well worth the effort. In order to negotiate your way to better profits, don't blurt out a price first, get to know your opponent before you step into the negotiation arena, and always get everything in writing!
