![]() My unique chatteling system, the buying and selling of personal property for a profit, has to do with dollars and not things.
This is a hard concept for people to swallow. Although, it is the BEST way to do this. BUT, almost every person wants to know WHAT to buy and sell. And I rarely have any advice, but, buy whatever you can make a profit on. Today, I'm going to tell you some HOT items. ONE: Juicers. You'll find these things used once, or still in the box, someone made an impulse buy from a TV infomercial and you'll find Jack LaLanne, Vitamix, Samson, Champion all being sold on eBay. Do a COMPLETED LISTINGs search, and put 90-250 dollars as your search parameters (advanced search) and SEE for yourself what is being bought and sold every day. Then, you can use a FREE piece of software, like craigspal for example, (at craigspal.com) to search your area for "Juicers" or by Brand Name. It is not uncommon to find them for 50 to 80 dollars and depending on brand and quality, you might make a quick 30 to 50 dollars on this. This is the LOW end of chatteling. I have a minimum of 30 dollars profit if it is within 10 minutes of me, that is, if I have to drive 10 minutes to buy something, I expect to make at least 30 dollars profit. Along with JUICERS in this low end category are: Air Purifiers. Rotisserie Ovens, NuWave Ovens. Some Vacuum Cleaners. Water Purifiers. Mixers. Blenders. All of these are small appliances that fit in the back seat. Thanks to the infomercials, you get to find these things often unused and FLIP them to a ready to buy market. Other HOT items are GPS, and iPhones/iAnything, but I shy away from them, because I don't know enough about them. And I think there is a big black market or at the least a big fake market out there. I like to see the "appliance" work, or be in the unopened box (make sure you open it to see it is what it is supposed to be). Bird cages and aquariums are HOT in the next step up, the 120-250 dollar range. Do a few searches at your local craigslist, using dollars as parameters, and see what you have. Then compare what is being offered to what has been SOLD (eBay completed listings) and perhaps you will start to get the concept of STORED VALUE. There are a lot of BOATS in my area which are available for 750-1200 dollars and these sell quickly. There is about 250 profit in one of these small boats, and if you have a list of BUYERS, then you can easily flip it. Where to find the list? OH, that's reserved for buyers of our new report. http://doomgloombliss.com/jaysalestest.html Now you know what to look for. Gordon Jay Alexander |

![]() I'm in a DEMAND mode.
Why do people buy so many things from QVC, HSN and the infomercials? BECAUSE they are heavily marketed with psychology behind them. On QVC, jewelry is sold with an appeal to vanity and how beautiful a piece is. Then the buyer gets it, and it may not suit their skin tone, or is too big or not quite right and rather than send it back, it goes into the unused jewelry drawer, and almost every woman has this spot in their jewelry closet. We buy juicers NOT because they turn hard veggies and fruits into instant liquid...but because we have BOUGHT the "benefits" pitch. We want HEALTH, but we want it to come easily. Drink a juice. PRESTO. Viola! Health in a bottle. And we see 1001 MLM or Network Marketing companies offering their version of "health in a sip a day" too. Air purifiers, water purifiers all things healthy are sold with some much studied appeals to people. The UNIVERSAL appeals are Quick. Easy. Love. Money. Health. Wealth. Happiness. Mom can become an INSTANTLY better mom when she gives her child fresh squeezed juices instead of those sugar filled off the shelf products. Good health (as I know) is a result of good genes and good habits, including dietary and exercise. No pill, vitamin, hormone replacement or juice is going to make up for years of neglect. Anyhow, there is a REASON a chatteler can find so much UNDERVALUED stuff laying around. I call this STORED VALUE, or the difference between what you pay for it and what you sell it for. At the low end, with juicers and such, it is very easy to make the 30 bux profit day after day after day and if you have 3 items a day, then it adds up. But the real excitement comes into play when you are dealing with hundred dollar bills. Almost everyone here has sold an automobile at one time or another or has brought one. Although this is a regulated industry, it is OK in most states to sell a couple or a few cars a year without having to have a license. I wouldn't touch a car unless there was at least 1000 dollars pure profit in it, and in most cases, at least 2 grand. Between West Palm and Miami there are thousands of boats and some Yachts for sale. Opportunity to even make a FINDER'S FEE if you have your ducks in a row. There are a lot of reasons for people to sell their stuff cheaply, including moving or change sales; including divorces, deaths and newborns. In all too many cases, a few bux under the nose will get stuff you can flip at the speed of the Internet. There are reasons people BUY and there are reasons people sell stuff...your job as a chatteler is to make a profit. How big of a profit is entirely up to you. The REASON I'm so "back into" chatteling, is there is DEMAND for the How To information as the economy continues to struggle, more and more people are selling their stuff off at great STORED VALUE rates, so NOW... TODAY, there are more profits available in Chatteling than at any other time in the last 40 years...and the tools...like craigslist and ebay make it so simple and easy. So, cash in today. Anyone selling anything? Gordon Jay Alexander |
