We all love to make money but after a while when you get too much product built up, you can start losing money. Why would we do that?What happens is we get in a mindset on the value we feel our items are worth, rather than what we can get for them. That's why when purchasing items it's important to keep in mind that you make money when you buy, Not - When you Sell.But we also get into the territory where you feel you should get a certain price for something. We develop an emotional attachment to our products. And that's what we need to shake.... immediately. This is the mindset that can make or break your auction business.You need to be watching your products and if something isn't pulling in the money anymore, you need to blow it out. Product on the shelves is not money in your pocket.... it's out of your pocket. Product collecting dust is not collecting money in your bank account.When we relate this to your eBay business, the same goes for what you have in your eBay store. Keep it fresh and alive. Have special offers, only for those who are buying an auction AND a store item. Do a two for the price of one deal or even give away product with the purchase of another item that is...more

Zero down doesn't really mean no down payment. Most sellers need something as a down payment if they are providing financing. Most banks won't do 100% financing on real estate that is purchased as an investment. Zero down just means that the down payment won't come from your money. So where will you get it? Can you really profit from real estate without having money to start?The answer is clearly yes. At our local investor's meeting the other night, one investor told me that he recently found a fixer upper, but couldn't arrange financing. What did he do? He assigned the contract to another investor for $6,000. In other words, all he ever had into the deal was a $500 "good faith" deposit, and his time, and he made a $6,000 profit. This is called "flipping."Not only did he not need a down payment, but he didn't even have to buy the property to make money. There was enough potential profit in fixing up and selling the house, that other investors were happy to pay to take his place. The key here was that he knew how to find a good deal, and his offer included the right to assign the contract to another investor if he wanted to.Now, if he had put the $500 deposit on a credit card, it...more
