Ebay Sucks advice were to Buy old collectables toys cheap in bulk from Auction Houses




EBAY vs Traditional Auction Houses 

As the Biggest seller of toys and models on ebay uk in the 2000's how did i get all my stock ??



My name is Anthony and is this blog i will tell you a little about myself and why in the mid 2000's 
why i owned a very impressive house you know land scaped garden koi pond basically i lived the dream for good few years and this was because of eBay i earned a crazy amount of money and it was pretty easy if you keep to some strict rules  , but also the last few years have been hard also because of ebay and there crazy policy's of suspending big sellers over anything.

in this Blog i will tell you how i got my stock as while it may seem obvious to the people in the know it took me a few years doing the thrift stores car boot sales to get my stock then one day reading a newspaper article i went from a seller doing between £250-500 pounds a week on Ebay to on average £6,000 a week, and here is my top tip. 

basically i will say there are 5 top tips i used to get stock in this blog i want to explain the best way but here are the top 5 ways i got stock:

 Car boot sales


What i did is hit car boots in up market areas not the big ones in country bigger is not better, my best buys were at smaller rich areas the stories i could tell i would have people giving me stuff for free basically men sent out by wife's to make room for there Bentley cars etc, i was given a 1980's Haro bmx free by one bloke as he did not want it scratching his car in his garage i did buy a box of Lego and ave it me as i bought a lot from him,  , area i hit was Solihull in west midlands in England and luckily it was in walking distance my target was £1,000 worth of resale on eBay stock every week which i did easily 

Customers 

yes seems a weird one never mentioned on forums but as i was a big seller people would trade me stuff and put me in contact with other dealers i got a lot of my stock from collectors who had gone round car boots them selves then swopped there findings for stuff they wanted from me

Ebay



Thats correct i bought of eBay to resell but was a trick to doing this well two methods in today's market can not do as well as it did not back then, if you went onto eBay selected buy it now and newly listed you waited for new stuff to appear and if sellers had no idea what they were selling and price was to cheap you bought before anyone else saw it, also as i sold toys and action figures this was best way i bought things from countries like mexico and america you could not get in England ,what mean b this is i would by american exclusive gi joes and resell in England and buy rare he-man coloured figures from mexico very scarce outside mexico so would get premium money in my country then sell UK exclusive items to america , one year in England teletubbies was huge and we could not get them but in america they had loads, and in uk we had loads of singing elmo's and USA were going mad for them, so i just trading between countries what they wanted, big bucks can be made around Christmas doing this



Brokering: 


What this was is i had several people who would travel across the uk and one client lived in isle of man which is a awesome place for collectables hold the TT races every year most of country is in the richer class of people basically most people have money or are rich and move there for tax reasons as tax is lower , what these people would do is buy items and send them to be to sort at and sell for a commission of 20 percent which back then ebay fee's were 5 percent so clients were happy paying 25% for me to get there items sold and send them the profit, amazing how many hoarders love buying but don't understand the internet if you can get contacts with hoarders car boot hunters pickers and be there outlet you can make big money



Auction Houses:


This was the best way i am lucky i live in Solihull in the United kingdom and i bought from a place called vectis.co.uk, aston auctioneers and Biddle and webb. 

sold toys and Vectis is biggest toy collectables place in the world stuff they get is mind blowing, the video above top of blog is about all of this seriously watch video if your a collector and understand why buying collectables on eBay is stupid go to links on my video save money time and get stuff cheap in bulk, 
the intention of the Video and blog was the make people aware of you do not have to go to eBay for collectables they get you in make you think your getting a good deal its all crap, 

i want collectors to get a good deal so basically do things i did especially Auction Houses to get stuff basically buy your stuff were the Ebay sellers do!!

go to links in my video and get stuff cheap its not a con i work for no one just make YouTube videos now and run my website eterniacollectables.co.uk

I do not recommend Ebay at all. i infact am disgusted by there practises how they ruin sellers lives who have bee doing eBay for years then get banned because of maybe a competitor complaint , ebay policy system stinks no common sense at all. 
i was a seller i got suspended , then eBay sent emails to my thousands of customers saying i was a bad seller and contact them for refund, i did nothing wrong i never sold fakes, stolen items, i bloody sold old toys for god sake, and the stories of items i got removed are a blog and video in itself yes i got power ranger toys taken of for looking like a sword, transformers taken off for looking like guns , toy cars removed as Hitler had one, just nuts!!! yes i got a message from ebay once accusing me of being a racist!!! for Christ sake 


Ebay short term is ok long term will ruin your life , yes sellers on there snigger i was a power seller 12 years at least experience 99.9% feedback,

here is the issue with Ebay no one really mentions if you give 10 years of your time to them being self employed as your full time job, if or when Ebay ban you try getting a job afterwards is very hard as you have no employment history etc, Employees do not like Ebay down as your job!!!!!!!!!! 

THAT IS PROBLEM DOING EBAY YOU GET TRAPPED DEVOTE TIME EFFORT THEN YOU REALISE WHEN ITS TO LATE YOU HAVE NO JOB HISTORY QUALIFICATIONS ETC, THEN ITS O SHIT!!! WHY I DID I NOT TAKE ALL PAYPAL EBAY SUCKS FORUMS SERIOUSLY..

BECAUSE YOU LIKE ME BECAME ARROGANT AND THOUGHT SELLERS WHO WERE BANNED DESERVED IT BUT I AM OK!!!
