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.

You really can make a decent income by reselling.. if you have the time. A few of my friends practically paid their way through college selling on eBay. Now that all my school loans are coming in, I wish I’d done the same.
