mark spoke thusly...

Also, his so-called "strategy" is not at all applicable to the coin market in
particular, or the collectibles market in general.


It read to me like it was most applicable to low price, novelty
item/garage sale/flea market type sellers.

If you want to make a real business out of ebay you need a strategy that
brings in a net stream of income on a regular basis, regardless of your
pricing structure.

if you can list twenty items a day and make $20 off each one on a net basis,
you can make a pretty good living at it. it does not matter much if you
sell an item you purchased for $5 and make the $20, or if you bought it for
$1000, and made the same $20.

Obviously the risk is much lower on lower priced items, but with lower
priced items you have to sell more, and that is more work. The other risk
with low cost items is that someone will lowball you that has a lower
wholesale price. It would suck to have to package up 100 items a day that
you netted $1 each on. hardly worth the effort.
