The first sale was super fun...the rest were a headache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2494113 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 10:57:20 +0000 BSB 2494113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: Yeah, if I were to sell on Amazon, I would price it to sell... slightly under Amazon's prices. (So not inflated) As a buyer, if I could save 5-10% off Amazon's prices and still get 2 day shipping, I would certainly pick that before buying from Amazon directly. </p> <p>But I totally get you, I've seen prices inflated at Christmas for products priced way above Amazon's prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2494105 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 10:40:37 +0000 cat620 2494105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why I always do price comparisons before I buy from Amazon. I've noticed that sometimes items are cheaper in stores than they are on Amazon. But I can see how it would be easy to make money if people are willing to pay more just to have the convenience of buying it through Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2494100 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 10:36:53 +0000 808love 2494100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed the prices were higher on Amazon this past Christmas than years prior...just made the connection that this is probably the reason why. Same reason why our housing market is inflated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2493861 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 04:08:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2493861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's awesome. I personally would get real satisfaction on doing this because I love me a good sale! But I just don't have the time to shop enough and I don't think I could ever consider doing it as a full-time job. However, I think it's awesome and the people that are making it work deserve all the credit because although it's fun, it sounds like hard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2493851 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 02:41:09 +0000 Kimberlybee 2493851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read online that people were buying goods on sale and clearance from Walmart stores that were closing then would sell the items on Amazon. So many different stores are closing across the USA because they can't compete with Amazon. How will these physical jobs be replaced? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2493846 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 02:26:56 +0000 Boogs 2493846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am actually frustrated by people who do these because I like to find deals for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2493276 Sun, 13 Mar 2016 01:32:54 +0000 808love 2493276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is pretty much like flipping a house but on a super tiny scale. Today I bought this awesome name brand coat for 25percent regular price. I know I could make big bucks if I turned around and sold it but I want it too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490547 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:39:36 +0000 sunny 2490547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forget where I saw a segment on this, but there are people who totally do this for a living. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490508 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:30:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2490508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt did this shopping at goodwill and places for victoria secret bras that were new with tags or basically new in odd sizes and sold on eBay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490482 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:24:21 +0000 snowjewelz 2490482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I read that blog too! I was totally intrigued! But I'm so risk adverse that I'm usually just really nervous about whether or not I can make a steady stream of income, whether something would change, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490468 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:20:45 +0000 Raindrop 2490468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like a good idea if you have some free time or if you are between jobs but I would be weary of depending on the income forever.</p> <p>Sorry I just have heard of horror stories of people making careers of things like this and then Amazon (or Ebay) changing policies or things just change. There was that scare a few years ago about them taking affiliated seller status away from all people in California due to a political reason (a few co-workers were affiliated sellers). </p> <p>It does sound like this family has went through changes and will just adapt if there are changes, there was a comment in the comments section about how ebay it’s harder to make a profit now and lot of people are moving to the amazon model. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490385 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:51:39 +0000 psw27 2490385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to do something like this but I don't have the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490369 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:41:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2490369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin does this on ebay. He tried to recruit me, but it still required another hour or two each day to track and fill orders. He doesn't keep any inventory just ships the identical item from a lower priced online retailer. He said most often people don't comparison shop online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490365 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:39:32 +0000 Mamaof2 2490365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin does this and she makes good money - she is always posting on FB about it - apparently her favorite thing to do is buy stuff from 5 below and sell that for a profit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/making-money-by-buying-clearance-goods-and-reselling-it-through-amazon#post-2490349 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 13:33:31 +0000 BSB 2490349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a blog about this recently about a couple who buys clearanced products and sends it off to Amazon and they sell it at a price closer to retail. </p> <p>Anyone consider this?</p> <p>We don't have the time for it but when the twins are old and if we came under tough times, I could consider it.</p> <p><a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/2016/03/retired-husband-clearance-shopping.html" rel="nofollow">http://moneysavingmom.com/2016/03/retired-husband-clearance-shopping.html</a> </p>
