sell whats hottt

Okay, this may be common sense to some of you, but I just have to say it anyway because its soooo important...

Sell what's hot or popular at the moment. I can't tell you how much this has helped my sales. I'll give you a few examples...

I've had a bunch of Nancy Drew books for a while. Did I sell them right away?? No. I waited until the Nancy Drew movie came out and sold as many as I could then.

I've done the same thing with vintage James Bond books, with great success.

I also have sold Nancy Drew and James Bond books at other times, when the movies were NOT in theaters...and I noticed a HUGE difference. They didn't sell nearly as fast, and I had to price them a LOT lower.


Most recently, I've been fortunate enough to find a whole stockpile of old presidential innaugural memorabilia. No joke, I've sold about $500 worth in the last two days.

I understand that you won't always be able to find sources for everything. Just do the best you can. Remember, keep your eyes and ears open, and strike while the iron is hot!!! Best of luck!
