Tip: Today's Sponge

I'm going to tell you about a little tip I picked up from the eBay Selling Coach. That tip is: Today's Sponge. No, I'm not talking about using it as a contraceptive. I'm talking about using it to make a couple of hundred dollars. That's right. Today's Sponges have been discontinued (again). They can't be found anywhere online, except for on eBay, where they are charging (and receiving) $250 for a box of three. I've perused quite a number of drug stores lately, and have come up with nada. Hopefully, you can run across some somewhere and make yourself a little profit. And if you DO happen to find some, buy them all to sell (and if you want to ship a box to your good friend to sell as thanks for bringing you in the riches, then that'd be okay too).

But please, here's a tip I learned from World of Warcraft of all places: If you're selling an item that is a limited supply but you have a bunch, don't list more than one or two. Otherwise, you saturate the market with the item, making it look as though the item is worth less and lowering the value. You want to give your potential customers the idea (or knowledge) that there's not a lot of what they want out there, so if they want this item they NEED to pay the high price that you are charging. Not only that, but since it's only listed once or twice, they better get it NOW before it's too late.
