I guess the saying really is true...
"You learn something new everyday!"
Even, though, I consider myself an eBay "expert"
since I've been using eBay auctions (and making
a lot of money with them) for the past 10 years,
I will admit something... I DON'T KNOW IT ALL!
I can't uncover every conceivable way to profit
from eBay. Heck, the site is HUGE!
eBay gets over a BILLION hits on their site every
month and has millions of items now listed in over
20,000 CATEGORIES!
Yes, eBay is a BIG place. Because it's such a big
place, and because there are so many types of items
it would be impossible for any ONE person to be
able to uncover every little trick, technique, and
method for making money from eBay's site.
So I'm constantly "snooping" around and
doing research. I'm constantly looking to see what
other people are doing on eBay.
So I'm sitting here on my laptop, just "surfing"
around on eBay's site. I was poking around looking
for interesting items and great deals. Hey, after
all, eBay is like the world's biggest garage sale!
It's such a fun place to look around and even buy
stuff. But back to my story...
I'm going from auction to auction. I'm looking
at some neat items I hadn't seen before. In my pursuit
to uncover some "hidden gems" I occasionally
find myself clicking on the link you can find in
any eBay listing that says, "view seller's
other items".
So I click the link and check out that particular
seller's other auctions. Then if they are selling
something that interests me I will usually do a
quick search to see if other people are selling
it too -- this is how you find bargains and don't
end up bidding on the same item you could have bought
for less in another auction.
In the process of doing this, I came upon this
one guy's auctions. As I was checking out all his
other auctions, I noticed something. Something that
kind of stopped me dead in my tracks. But in a GOOD
WAY.
I noticed what he was doing with his eBay account
-- how he had it setup, etc. I didn't know exactly
what this guy was "up to" but I could
tell he was doing something really unique. Something
I hadn't seen anyone do before.
To say I was intrigued would be an understatement!
So I poked around a bit more on his account to
learn more about him. I checked out all his auctions.
I clicked over to his "ME" page. I even
looked at his buying and selling HISTORY for his
eBay account.
I noticed he had his own Web Sites outside of eBay
as well. So a little "pointing and clicking"
and surfing took me off eBay's site and eventually
onto some of his sites.
Then I notice this strange link on one of his pages...
"I have found the Silent Sales Machines hiding
on eBay". My first thought was, honestly, this...
WHAT KIND OF *CRAP* IS THIS!?
Seriously. I had a feeling this guy was just some
scamster trying to sell some junky $5 CD on how
to... "Make A Million Dollars On eBay In 4
Days!!!"
BUT. I have to admit. I fell for it. I clicked
on that link. I just had to check out what he was
talking about. My curiosity got the best of me.
So I click the link and it takes me to a Web Site
that is selling an ebook (one that you download)
and the site is all about "making money on
eBay" so I'm thinking to myself... HAHAHA!
I KNEW IT!!
So right as I am about to hit "Back"
on my Web browser and get the heck out of there,
a few words catch my attention...
"I solved the mystery." AHHHHH! I am
such a sucker sometimes!
Then right next to that it says: "The true
eBay pro's have had an unfair advantage - they have
been working smarter than the rest of us. Until
now..."
Then it had a big "CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE"
link.
So, Yes, I just had to click on the link to see
what the next page would say. I find out on the
next page that this guy has written this ebook called...
"The Silent Sales
Machines Hiding On eBay"
Yes, I thought it was a weird title too. His name
is Jim Cockrum, and he's from Indianapolis,
IN.
It turns out that this guy's little ebook is the
#1 SELLER on ClickBank (the largest digital book
seller online). So I was definitely interested in
reading more on this page to see WHY it was a #1
Seller.
Here's just some of what he says about the little
"Silent Sales Machines" he has setup on
eBay that make him money again and again...
