Collection

Can a person really make a good living selling collectibles on eBay?

Currently I have a good part-time job but would like to just sell collectibles on eBay. I would like to quit my part-time job and sell full-time on my eBay store.

1. Depends upon the collectible and your knowledge about it. If you want to spend hours looking for bargains at thrift shops and garage sales then list them on Ebay. Yes you can but you really have to know what you are looking at or you could end up buying junk instead of treasures. Some collectibles though just dont sell on ebay. Watch ebay listings in the area you are interested in and see what percentage of listings sell.
2. There are pros and cons. Some people say the "heyday" of making real money through eBay has long since passed. Here's one woman's story of being able to make 23K working part time via selling through online auctions. She's doing it... so can you. http://www.allthingsfrugal.com/moneyebay.htm Hope it's helpful... Good Luck!
3. don't quit until you can make consistent income online.
