NoBetterBlog.comNoBetterDeal.com takes a look at your wallet.

If you’re skeptical about buying secondary market goods, don’t be!  Many of our Nobetterdeal.com customers have saved hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by shopping with us instead of going out to a nearby retail store.  You can get the same high-quality items delivered right to your door without ever having to venture out to a store. 

Take Matt, for example, a new homeowner and loyal buyer of NoBetterDeal.com – his story says it all:

“Buying a house is tough!!  Looking at houses, finding the right one, making an offer, settling on an offer, closing… it’s one big headache!  I just bought my very first house a few months ago and I was glad to be done with the buying end of things, but now I am broke and have all the wonderful things that come with owning a new house:  cleaning, fixing, painting, and furnishing!!  Yikes!  Sounds like another headache, right?  Well luckily for me I furnished a lot of my house with items that I purchased at NoBetterDeal.com!  I was able to get the same things that I could get in the store, online instead and at a great, reduced price!  I saved a load of cash when I needed it the most!  I’ve included some photos of items that I have purchased at NoBetterDeal so you all can see the great stuff that I bought and I get to show off my new house at the same time!   Now if I can only find a NoBetterPainter website!!”

- Matt, the new homeowner

Matt was also kind enough to provide photos of some of the items that he purchased from Nobetterdeal (below).  After doing a little bit of homework and working with Matt, we compared the original retail prices of these items with the deals that Matt got from us.  We think that you will be pleasantly surprised to see how quickly his savings added up!

Buying good stuff cheap is really the focus of advice offered on this blog.  But here’s a little secret.  Some folks who buy on NoBetterDeal.com resell the goods on eBay for a profit.  (Don’t worry, it’s legal.)  

Take David. He lives in Detroit and has built a growing eBay business, with customers around the country, selling product he buys on NoBetterDeal.com and other sites.  “I’ve been at it for three or four years.  I buy consumer electronics almost exclusively – mainly digital video cameras, but other products, too.  It’s a nice secondary income.”

 This isn’t new.  People have been buying from liquidators and reselling on eBay for years, but only those who could afford to buy in bulk.  In this tough economy, however, we’re seeing more people experimenting with eBay as a way to earn a few bucks.  They’ll buy a few individual items from NoBetterDeal.com and try their hand at reselling.  So NoBetterDeal.com is not only a place to find bargains, it could help you launch your own business!  Who knew? 

Keep checking back for more updates and advice on the secondary market.  After all, I do know a little something about the subject.
