Help with buying something on eBay?

[Jo Han]

You'll need a lot of luck to accomplish what you have in mind. It would be far more profitable to go to local yard sales and flea markets and find electronics, video games, that sort of thing, and then sell them on ebay for more than you paid. People who sell stuff on ebay already have an idea of what their item is worth (ebay tells you this info when you're creating a listing) so it's not like you're going to find a bunch of items at dirt-cheap prices. However, you can and will find tons of stuff at yard sales that people are just trying to get rid of. You might even find some valuable antiques or collectibles like first-gen transformer toys or GI Joes.
