OTHER BUY/SELL OPPORTUNITIES 

      Sometimes you will be browsing the auctions and you will see an item identical or similar to one that you have. You may be willing to offer your item to the second high bidder (or high bidder if the reserve was not met.) Try sending them a quick e-mail and offer your item at their high bid plus shipping (or slightly higher if that price is not quite acceptable to you.) You might be surprised at how many people will respond and you will end up making a sale. Be careful and polite here. If you offend the bidder, they could report you and get you in trouble. EBAY seems to frown on your contacting any of their bidders, and especially if you try to "spam" them (unsolicited bulk emailing.) 

      You can do the same if you see something that looks like a good buy, but the reserve was not met. Send a quick e-mail and offer to buy it at the high bid plus shipping. Again you may be surprised at how many sellers will accept your offer or at least make you a counter offer that is still at an acceptable price. If this appeals to you and you find yourself doing a lot of it, write up and save some form letters that cover both situations. Again they will be great time savers.
