Double Your Way To A Million - Christmas Post

Double Your Way To A Million - Christmas Post

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays everyone !!!
I know this post will say Dec 25th but it is actually boxing day down here in NZ.

Just wanted to remind everyone that holidays are a goldmine for early doublers !
All those after Christmas sales with frenzied people. Instead of heading for the bargains, check out what they drop in their wake :D

Continuing with the advice for newbies, I'd like to throw out some suggestions for when you get to $5-$10.
This time of the year in the Southern Hemisphere there are many more garage sales and lots can be bought from them and re-sold on auction sites.
New Zealand is lucky to have a thriving auction site called Trademe so with research, this time of year can be lucrative.

But what do you look for ?
Well, I'd say to stick with what you know and always do your research.
Some examples from last Xmas (my experiences !)

* Paid $2 for a 1975 Star Wars Projector and slides, made $123
* Paid $1 for 5 Robert Kiyosaki books, sold for $60
* Paid $2 for Pumkin Patch and Beatrix Potter Baby Clothes and made $32
* Paid $6 for My Little Ponies with Accessories made $76 (There was a rare one in this lot...)
* Paid $0.40 for 3 Glo Friends made $63
* Paid $5 for a big box of Hot Wheels made $62
* Paid $7 for Barbies & Barbie horse stable made $40

That was on ONE WEEKEND !!
I kept great records and was very proud of this haul.

I've also written a few articles for the article banks on what to sell at auction, you can read them here if you'd like.

Good Luck everyone !

Rachel.
