Daryle Lambert: Make Money Buying & Selling the Right Large Items

Classic 1968 Cadillac Convertible Sold Through 31 Club Antiques & Collectibles.

I've often said that you can make money buying and selling antiques & collectibles with items smaller than a bread box. That's the general rule I usually stick to. But, when something comes along that's bigger than a bread box, and I can make a good profit, I'm not going to dismiss the opportunity. My decision to list a 1968 Cadillac Convertible on the 31 Club Marketplace (certainly larger than a bread box) finally paid off when, yesterday, it sold!

Yes, the car is sold, and the buyer is a very happy camper by having found it. I know some of you wonder if the listings on our site are selling. If you take the time to go and look, you'll find our marketplace is doing quite well. We've got a lot of people looking through the pages of the 31 Marketplace. I still suggest that you not only list your items on our site but also on Seeauctions.com and Onlineauction.com as well. This way, you'll receive the most exposure for your items. And that's what you want, right? Never forget that our purpose at the 31 Club is to help you learn how to successfully make money buying and selling antiques & collectibles. Wherever you can best sell your items doesn't matter to us as long as you become successful.

Here is a tip should you come across something that is too big for you to take home. Ask the seller if you may keep the item at their place for a short time until it can be moved. In fact, I am doing that right now, because I purchased three very large paintings that I have no place to store. The woman I bought them from still has them on her wall. You might do something nice for the seller, like giving them a little bonus for this service, when the item or items sell.

I have the fever now because I really like older cars, so my wife said “Here we go again.” You see I can't do anything half way, so you can be certain that I will have an eye open for that special car I'd would like sitting in my parking lot, until of course, it's sold. Then, someone else can enjoy it. half Did you see the article about the car that sold for 4.4 ? That's why I say, rules as general guidelines are great. It keeps you in check. But my bread box rule gets broken from time to time when the right opportunity presents itself.

In these tough economic times, you'll probably find people trying to unload a lot of items.
