Default HOT list of chattel and superior ads sell stuff quickly.

A list of profitable chattel.

I’ve been asked a lot of questions about Skip Rossel’s new report and my own Chatteling Report.

http://www.doomgloombliss.com/skip.html and

http://www.thechattelreport.com/gja/

Skip shows how he uses a piece of software to make it easy to find stuff to sell, his automated system pretty much forces you to pay attention to potentially profitable deals.

I’ve been using this software as well as other software in my chatteling efforts. Skip gives you his list in his report, I’m going to give you my list here and now.

However, it must come with the caveat, I mostly use dollars in my searches, but these are the things I search for with Skip’s method.

Panasonic, EdenPure,Breville, Champion, Cuisinart, VitMix, KitchenAid, Keurig, Haier.

Plug these names into the software and use my dollar amounts and you’ll see how easy it is to pick up and then Resell these hot items.

Now about selling.USE your superior knowledge of marketing to sell stuff you find. I search for things that DO NOT have pics, cause some people just don’t know how to post them…if it is a decent piece, I KNOW I can use pics, and with some FREE pic hosting, like Photobucket…

YOU can create a better craigslist ad. Give them a REASON to call you.
Here is a post I made this morning and I’ve already rec’d calls. I posted to both the Akron andthe Cleveland craigslist with slightly different appeals…but note, I give them a reason for selling this item.

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/clt/2611313963.html

http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/clt/2611279501.html

Keep the PARADE OF LIFE in mind and reread the section on the Psychology of buying and selling in my Chattel Report and you’ll understand why people sell stuff so cheap and why YOU can make fast and ez profits if you just do it. http://www.chattelreport.com/gja

Have a great day doing whatever it is you are doing.

Default More on craigslist

Not only do a lot of craigslisters not know how to post pictures, a whole lot more of them don't realize that craigslist allows html. The list of allowed tags and some basic examples can be found here:
http://www.craigslist.org/about/help...list_postings/

You can also post pictures in the body of your ad, by hosting the pictures elsewhere. Not all of the free picture hosting services allow you to link to your pictures, but many do. Your pictures can be clickable links as well, if posted in the body of your ad.

This information led to my discovery that craigslist ads can be tracked. It requires that your picture hosting service makes stats available to you. I post a tiny picture and then can check it's stats to tell how many times that craigslist ad was viewed.

I think the same is true here.

I'll know soon enough.

Any pic I post is one I took. I use smugmug for picture hosting. I got in early with them and they leave my $25/yr alone when they raise their prices. $25/yr is free in my book. They provide stats for galleries and for individual pictures. Handy!

Here's one of my craigslist ads where you can see pictures within the body of the ad. What you can do, and how I learned how to do this, is right click on the ad, select "View Source" and save or print the page. You can do that with any page to discover how something is done. I will take something useful from a page, and save it away as text so I can copy and paste later. I can't remember how to do this stuff, but I can copy and paste.

Default Thanks Bozo, good stuff to know.

Craigslist is amazing. A giant FREE classifed ad bulletin board that can be seen by millions.

I know of several people who are doing quite well with craigslist, and not only with buying and selling BUT, with providing the tools to those who are buying and Selling...especially, big ticket items like golf courses, campgrounds and land and homes.

Thanks for the tips Bozo.

Gordon Alexander

PS. There are times when NO pics might get you a higher price for some stuff too. Lots of twists and turns in craigslist.

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the great resources.

You just gave a business with built in leads for anyone that wants to take some time to learn how to embed youtube for others. Also do HTML ads for others.

The reason, I believe, so many do not use video and html on craigslist is they do not know how. So some businesses you could start are doing it for them and/or showing them how to do it themselves with the links you provided.

By the way Phil, let me thank you for all the great research you do everyday here on SowPub. It is much appreciated.

I have sent you a PM with a small gift for all you do. Thanks again.

Best of success,

Skip Rosell

Hi Gordon,

Thank you for giving us your list of hot items.

Using dollar amounts is a great way to control your bankroll and just find items that are within your budget. The software I use allows you to just put the "Min" and "Max" in and it will ALERT you to the items within those dollar amounts. That way if you only have $100 to invest you will only see the items that are priced under $100.

But there is a way to get FREE items before anyone else. You can put "curb alert" into the software and it will bring back all the free stuff that people are giving away. Some of this stuff is very valuable.

I got a notice the other day for a curb alert that was just posted minutes before. I called because along with the tables, chairs, dressers, etc there was a sewing machine. Since I was the first to call and went and picked it up right away (less then a mile from my house) I got a sewing machine that I can sell for $125 any day of the week. SWEET!!

Best of success,

Skip Rosell
