i want to make use of the money that i earn online to buy some stuff and sell them again. i am thinking of gadgets, but i do not know what kinds of things i want to sell, and if i sell, the people will buy it. i also want to invest the money online, but i do not know which are the sites that are paying just yet, because some of the sites online. buying and selling stuff online and offline seems like the best way to generate the money. what should i sell? can you give me ideas?

I think to answer your question on what to sell, the best way is to ask your self first " what are my interests?" It would be easier to build around something you already know, familiar with or already do as a hobby with a modest capital. One common error or pitfall of people who buy and sell is to ride the bandwagon of people selling something but know nothing or have any interest or experience in. Careful with investing online especially HYIPs, it's very risky and might make you lose money, if you have money to invest then just invest it in a bank. I also invest online but just for fun and with money I can afford to lose, I do not go beyond 10 dollars on an investment site, most are just 2 or 3 dollars

Hello. Like you, I also wanted to invest and do buy and sell. But I'm also having a hard time thinking what to buy. I thought I'd buy old phones but then I haven't started it thinking that it would be hard to resell it. Hehe.
And by the way, be careful about investing your money online. There are a lot of scams out there. I took a risk before and invested on a hyip site. I got scammed! Lol. But I was prepared for it before I invested there. So be careful. My advice to you if you want to take a risk like me is invest only the amount you can afford to lose. Goodluck.

If you look through ebay, or similar sites you can see from what other sell the types of things that sell well. Also, consider buying direct from a wholesaler, and selling in single quantities. For example... kids clothes... there are plenty of sites where you can buy a bulk of clothes, then just sell them singly. You will make a profit. or you could buy a bulk of items and chuck them into an auction room (like in your town if they have them) and see how well they sell there.

I don't know if it is a good idea, but there are a lot of chinese sites where you can find some very cheap electronic gadgets and then you can try to sell it on Ebay, for example. I have friends who bought some gadgets in one site and he received it, even though it delayed a lot.
You should try to find a good chinese site and what they have. Then do a little research to discover if the people around you would buy somethings of there. good luck
