When sourcing for eBay, don’t forget to look at clearance items at regular retail stores. You may not think of eBay as a place to sell brand new items, but the eBay marketplace has evolved over the years and you can sell virtually anything! I have had great results selling dental products on both eBay and Amazon. Here are some ideas for products to source:
Battery operated toothbrushes. You can often find these marked down to 50% - 75% off regular retail. A few weeks ago, I found Oral B Spinbrush toothbrushes on sale at the grocery store for $3.31 and used $3 off coupons to get them for .31 each. I sold these on Amazon for $9 each. If you have the foresight to keep coupons on hand, you can really get these cheap, or even free. Look for these on sale at drug stores and grocery stores. Also check sale circulars for buy one get one free specials.
Electric toothbrushes. These sets are going to be more expensive but will yield a higher return. Back in July, I found Philips Sonic Care electric toothbrush sets marked down at Walgreen’s for $18.97. I sold these on Amazon for $48.95. Profit after fees was $19.72. I found 3 of them in one day.
Whitening kits. These can be a great find. In August, I found some Crest Whitening strips at Big Lots for $25 a box. I bought 2 boxes to test out the product and see how quickly they sold. I was kicking myself 2 weeks later when one buyer bought both of them! These sold for $69 a box. Profit on one sale was $45. I was hesitant to buy a $25 item to resell (I like cheap inventory) but lesson learned. I did not see these again at Big Lots. You may also be able to source whitening kits at members clubs on a regular basis. Just do your homework and check prices.
Probiotics. You may not even know what these are. Check the dental aisle of the grocery store and drug store for these products. Oral probiotics are living microorganisms (good bacteria) that protect the mouth, gums, teeth, and throat. Continued use of probiotics can help reduce the bad bacteria that cause bad breath, irritated gums, and other oral problems. Some of these products are quite pricey – like $20 a box. You can easily double your investment selling these on eBay. And because they are a consumable product, buyers will often purchase more than one box at a time.
Baby teething products. Don’t forget to check the baby aisle for teething accessories. Look for items like baby Orajel, freezer teething rings, antibacterial teething toys, and homeopathic teething remedies. Look for these types of items at Big Lots, drug stores, Babies R Us, and grocery stores. To get an idea of what products sell the best, check completed listings here.
