With my last blog post stating how back to school sales are at an end, and Costumes on eBay are definitely the niche right now, you may be wondering some secretes to selling used costumes so successfully. 

One of my top strategies is to seek out other moms who just can’t wrap their brain around selling on eBay.  Let’s face it…eBay is not for everyone.  Not everyone has the time, not everyone has the patience.  That’s where eBay addicts come in!  You can get a lot of gently used items right from your own friends….and friends of friends!  I have quiet a few regulars that call me every season when they are cleaning out their kids closets.  Believe me, they are ready to get the ’stuff’ out of their houses!  Also, check out all consignment shops and second hand clothing stores NOW!  You’ll be able to pick up costumes for under $10 and make up to $100+ with a very quick turn around time.

Another top strategy is to know what costumes are selling on eBay right now.  If you research eBay year after year, you could have a list of hundreds of costumes and accessories that consistently do well each and every year.  But who has time for that?  You can have access to a current list of over 200 costumes and accessories that are found often and profit well.  This gives you more time to sell, because you’ll already know where to look.    You can read all about it at the original sales page here – http://www.auction-moms.com/hotsellingcostumes.html - BUT DON’T PURCHASE THROUGH THAT LINK .  You can get it at the link below for a discount price through September 10, 2010.

Check out the latest copy of Secrets of How to Find & Sell The HOT Halloween Costumes For High Profits  and also receive a 2 month FREE subscription to HuntedTreasure – a weekly hot list of the current 5 top selling costumes PLUS other top selling children’s items on Ebay.  All for a special price of only $20 – that’s a bargain!

Have fun

I got one of those forwarded emails this morning that caused me to actually read it.  Usually I dump those emails that are forwarded to thousands of people, but this one had a subject line that got my attention:  Philly requiring bloggers to pay $300 for a business license.

The link leads to an article in the Washington Examiner.  And yes its true.  Philly really is charging blogger $300 for a business license –even if they are only hobby bloggers.

The lady mentioned in the article should have read my book, How To Make Money Blogging From Home.  Even though the city is charging her $300 a year to blog, she noted in the article that she had only made $50 from her blog.

Both blogging on a topic and setting up niche WordPress blogs is a great way to make anything from a few extra bucks to actually making a living working from home.

And blogging is fun.  I just hope that the city fathers in Philly come to their senses and if not that other cities don’t try to fill their coffers by copying them.

Of course it could be something more nefarious. It is well known that governments hate bloggers as they are often the source of stories that embarrass governments and government workers when they uncover bad behavior, corruption or wasteful and silly spending.  There is an old saying: “If you want less of something then you should tax it.”  I wonder if maybe that is what’s really going on here?
