Nikon Coolpix 5200 Digital Camera

I was randomly looking through the digital cameras today, and found such a huge range of Nikon cameras at vastly different prices.

I already have a Nikon Coolpix 4600 digital camera, and I paid just over $110 last October (2005). Now, I see the next model up, the 5200, on sale on eBay starting at just $0.99 !!

The camera I have is superb quality, as you would expect from a company like Nikon. Let's face it, all they make is digital cameras.

Some of the items start at over $165.00, which would be about right for this type of unit, but there are some starting at $0.99 and there is no reserve. Get in quick.

Here's the list...

The Nikon Coolpix 5200 digital camera boasts an impressive list of features, including...

• 5.1 Megapixel
• 3x Optical Zoom
• 4x Digital Zoom
• 5x Flash Modes (for different environments)
• 12MB Internal Memory
• Blur Warning

If you're currently looking for a new digital camera, you'd do well to take a look through some of these auctions now.

Getting Started On eBay

You’ve probably heard about how much money can be made on eBay. With dreams of quick riches and easy money, you are probably ready to jump in with both feet – right now! The best thing you can do if you are serious about making money with eBay, however, is to slow down. In fact, just stop for a minute. Don’t rush straight in. Take your time, and do it right.

eBay has over 100 million members. Think about that number for just a minute or two. When you get your eBay business set up, that is how big your customer base will be – instantly. 100 million people - 100 million people who are just waiting for you to get set up and running so that they can throw money at you! Well, not quite. It is true that there are over 100 million members, but at this point, they don’t know that you exist. In fact, no matter how well you do on eBay, most of them will never know that you exist. 100 million is a very large number.

The most successful eBay sellers started out as buyers – and you should too. This will give you a sense of how everything works. It will also show you how things are from the buyer’s side of the fence. Let’s call this period of time ‘consumer research.’ You are literally studying how eBay works, from a customer’s point of view. You may not realize this, but this eBay buyer experience will actually make you a much better seller – right from the very start.

Really pay attention to the customer service you receive from the buyer. Think about how you want to be treated as a buyer, and take notes. Take your time during this process. Interact with the sellers. Get involved in hot auctions to see what they are like. In your spare time, start making notes about the hot items that you see. These notes will come in handy later.

eBay works just like any other business. You have to determine what people want to buy before you can hope to be successful. There are very specific items that sell really well on eBay – you just have to figure out what those items are. There are many resources for finding out this information. Start with the lessons that eBay offers to their sellers. Strongly consider attending the eBay University as well. This is the next step in the process. After you have had the eBay buyer experience, it is time to learn how to be an eBay seller.

Read all of the information eBay provides for you at the site. The information is free and you will learn a great deal from it. Take full advantage of this – before you start setting up your first auction or your eBay store! By reading through all of the resources, you will avoid making numerous mistakes that so many before you have made. This is another step towards building a successful eBay business. Once you’ve made it through the learning process, you should know everything you need to know to get started with a money making eBay business of your very own.

Dr Who Fans Will Love This

Exterminate!! Exterminate!!

Daleks are on the rampage in the UK, destroying everything in their path. Residents in Aldershot, Hampshire, South West UK, are in fear of their lives. Anyone of them could be zapped at any minute.

Ok...

That could be a slight exaggeration.

Bob, the Dalek is on sale (ends today 22nd April). It's a full size replica model and looks very good quality. I'd like to go pay Bob a visit, but I haven't the time.

Never mind, I'm sure he'll find himself a new home with a generous new owner. Otherwise, they will be exterminated!! Aaaaaggghhh!

Pimp My Hide

Ok, Now I've seen everything!!

A taxidermist from Alaska is selling pimped up, stuffed roadkill. I'm serious!

He's taken 2 flattened Hoary Marmosets and stuffed them. Then he's made the male into a pimp, and the female into a frisky little working girl. It's a really funny site, but just shows how some ingenuity can make something out of nothing.

And you should see the price tag...

Auction ends Monday 24th April. Have fun.

Hot Selling Items for eBay Auctions

Many people who are trying to start an eBay business spend a great deal of time trying to figure out which items sell the best on eBay. Many of these people have elaborate systems for determining this information, and many others purchase expensive courses that teach them how to find this information as well. None of that is necessary. Everything you need to know is right in front of you – on the eBay website!

Take a look at any category, and you will see the word ‘hot’ beside some items. These items are not marked as hot sellers randomly – there is a method to the madness! Items only get marked as hot when there have been more than thirty bids placed on the item. All you have to do is wander around the eBay website for a while to find an item that will do well.

However, most power sellers will agree that there is more to figuring out which items sell best than this. In fact, they claim that it is a science. A great way to start your search for items that will result in a successful auction in the future is to do research on the auctions that were successful in the past. You can view old listings that have completed at: listings.ebay.com.

A new way to determine what items sell best on eBay is ‘eBay Marketplace Research.’ Marketplace Research will allow you to view important statistical information on the buying trends at eBay. This product contains all of the data one could possibly ever need to determine how well – or how poorly – an item will do in an eBay auction. There is a small fee for using the eBay Marketplace Research tools, however.

Another tool that will be very useful in your quest for finding hot selling items for your eBay auctions is the listing of popular eBay search terms that is found on the site. This list can be found at: popular.ebay.com. This list is divided into categories, which will make it easier to determine how popular your potential item may be.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that an item will do poorly, or that it will do well without doing your homework on the item first. Some of the strangest things sell for the highest prices, while items that would sell quickly in any other environment just sit there. Almost any eBay Power Seller will tell you that the key to a successful auction rests in the amount of research you put into the items you hope to sell.
