So in the ever increasingly difficult world of selling on eBay what is there left to pitch? I mean how many variations of power cords or cell phones can one person sell? I know that it gets frustrating, so maybe this post will be for those of you who still want to make money on eBay but are tired of the constant hustle and low profits margins to get there.

Enter the world of hand crafted goods… as close to something for nothing as one can get.

This handmade box was probably found in a second hand store somewhere for a fraction of what its going for, as they say… one man’s trash another’s treasure.

Hand painted art is always in style on eBay.

These purses are made from cigar boxes which are free if you ask for them at any cigar shop, they have them piling up all day. Then you cover it with cloth or a design on the outside (or leave the original cigar box design) and connect a wire handle to both sides. Put some beads on it to fancy things up and you’ve got yourself merchandise for pennies on the dollar.

From these 3 examples there are hundreds more of items that were made with almost no cost except creativity. Find a niche like this on eBay and not only will you always have buyers but you’ll never have to be buried under the cost of doing business again.
