<p>[QUOTE="adric22, post: 1542721, member: 38146"]eBay is a very tough market to make money. I actually make a living selling MacBooks on eBay but I get them pretty cheap, and do all of the repairs and refurbishing myself. But yeah. If I sell a MacBook for $400 then I usually end up with about $40 in fees, meaning I really only get $360. By the time you take out the initial cost of the computer and my repair parts, I am usually lucky to have $50 profit left over. </p><p><br /></p><p>I seriously considered trying to buy some wholesale silver bullion and sell it on eBay. I think I'd need to buy around $100,000 worth straight from the manufacturer in order to actually be able to bring in any profit. I could probably afford $20,000 on credit but since I'd be paying interest on it while trying to sell it, I don't think I'd make any money. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think if you already had a large collection and you were ready to sell it off in order to start reaping the rewards of your collection, then eBay is probably fine as I doubt you'd get much more from selling to a dealer or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
