Ebay Class online Saturday

Josh_Melnick · April 14, 2020, 6:08pm

I am teaching a class saturday on how to properly list and sell on ebay. I decided to teach this due to the hard times many of us are in and I realize that we could use some extra income.

I will show you how to correctly do market research on ebay to see what is ACTUALLY selling, how often and what markets and things you should be focusing on.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE NOT JUST 3D PRINTING

This morning I decided to look up on ebay the theme of 3D printing to see what 3D printed parts are actually selling on ebay and if I had a 3D printer what parts I would focus on to actually make money.

In regards to 3D printing, there are many small things that are selling here and there, but people are generally very comfortable purchasing things related to video games.

This seller is selling a small plastic piece for nintendo switches, he has sold 746 at $9 a piece plus shipping which is a very good price and many people are buying, nearly 5 per day.

this seller created a simple stand to hold nintendo switches has sold 33 of them and 15 in april alone any of you could design this in a day.

This one seller is killing it with 3D printed car parts, part after part is selling in 100s of volume, he has no cost for inventory because he can just print it when needed.

$17.95 for switch plate sold 35 + shipping.

part after part selling well

Well…he has to have enough of the appropriate types/colors if filament on hand. Maybe we can call that “pre-inventory”? It’s sorta like being “pre-revenue”…

Owl home $179.00 57 sold 3 in march and 1 so far in april

Lordrook · April 16, 2020, 8:25pm

Geez man, this Owl home might have run them $30 in materials and maybe 90 minutes. that’s a hell of a markup.

Edit- and the maker didn’t even use any kind of varnish (I know its cedar, but still) and they used screws that will rust over time. That might last 3-5 years tops.

Josh_Melnick · April 16, 2020, 8:26pm

any market you want to research? Lets do it in the class!

Josh_Melnick · April 16, 2020, 8:34pm

I contacted one of Ebay’s most successful 3dprinting sellers he makes all kinds of 3d printed delete plates, may be a lot of markets for older cars on that!
