Recently I’ve been reading two newer blogs that relate to selling on eBay that, if you haven’t already found them on your own, you may find interesting.
Lizard Wisdom is less than two months old and so far appears to be targeted at people primarily interested in selling wholesale and drop-shipped items.
As most of you know, I’m not a big advocate of that business model, but the blog contains some pretty good post related to selling on eBay in general. I get the impression that Marshall and Joli have actually made this business model work for them so if this is an approach some readers are interested in taking, then this is a blog you may want to put in your RSS reader.
A couple of their general selling posts to get you started are The Benefits Of Opening An eBay Store and Finding The Right Product To Sell On eBay.
Daryle Lambert has been writing The Guy In The Red Tie since last October. While the blog isn’t specifically about selling on eBay, it is about making money with antiques and collectibles.
A lot of what Daryle writes about concerns higher quality pottery, glass, and art work. Some of these areas are ones I personally deal quite heavily in, but don’t write much about here, because you don’t come across them that often and you can get hurt in with them if you don’t really know what you are doing.
I’ve talked on the phone with Daryle a few times and he is someone who knows what he’s talking about. While his posts aren’t a one-stop complete education on these kind of items, they usually provide information for further reading and study, making them excellent jumping-off points for anyone wanting to learn more about any of these kind of antiques.
The Guy In The Red Tie is just part Daryle’s “31 Club” membership site. I’m not a subscriber to the membership site, so I have no idea of the quality of the content inside, but if readers are interested in exploring quality antiques on their own, the blog itself is a great place to get started.

Hi Gary,
Thank you for mentioning our blog in this post! We are honored that you think so highly of Lizard Wisdom that you have mentioned us.
We do talk about selling new goods for the most part as this is what we are familiar with. However, we do think that you can do VERY well selling antiques, etc on eBay. We would definitely recommend this business model for those that have experience with “used” items.
We also do our best to give some insight to what we have learned about selling on eBay. This information is great for anybody, regardless of what they sell or are thinking about selling.
Thank you again for the mention and we look forward to seeing you on Lizard Wisdom!
Regards,
Marshall and Joli

Hi Gary
I wish to thank you for the mention of my blog and website. It is a fresh vision to see that there are still people like yourself that feel as I do that this is the greatest business in the world. From our conversations I know that you are offering to help others by sharing helpful information and you will be blessed for that.
God Bless
Daryle
