Congratulations to Andy & Lucy Leggett who wrote;

“Prints make Profits” has to be one of the best and well written business plans I have seen. My wife and I have been searching for a second income, as we will have another mouth to feed this December, and have purchased many ebooks and plans. We have found them only to tell half the story but “Prints make Profits” goes to a whole new level. Well written and informative it takes you from start to finish of selling vintage prints and is full of hints and tips on how to take this business to it’s full potential. We have put up our first 2 prints on EBay, from a book we got from using another plan but failed to sell, we did not know who George Stubbs was until we read your plan! We hope that we will get the the Flower Fairies package as I know we would be able to put the prints to profitable use. Thank-you for such a well written and simple to follow programme
Best Wishes
Andy and Lucy Leggett

A breaker copy of ‘Flower Fairies of the Spring’ containing 23 beautiful coloured plates is on its way. If you check out the value of these prints on eBay (click here) you will see they sell for between $10 and $35 each.

I have also included 23 Daler Rowney mounts, back boards and self seal cellophane bags, if fact everything you need to kick-start your eBay vintage print biz!

Many, many thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate your feedback.

I am delighted with the response and will be running more promotions in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

As you can see from the link to julie.bennett’s completed auctions, vintage prints are a lucrative niche on eBay. I continue to earn a healthy income from this business and you can do the same.

Anyone, anywhere in the world can do this, all you need is a little spare time (1 hour per day) and a copy of my eBook Prints Make Profits.

Please don’t delay and grab your copy now as the price goes up on December 1st.

My support desk has received many requests for advice regarding a reliable supplier of mounts and accessories.

I use Kadinsky Art in the UK, email; enquiries@kadinsky.com

They are competitive, quick and very accommodating and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I’m afraid I can’t offer a specific recommendation to anyone outside of the UK, but I do give advice to help you in my eBook.

In addition to vintage prints I also sell 2 financial trading guides I have written on eBay.

I list the 2 items separately with a link to the other in each description and a postage discount to encourage bidders to bid on both. Immediately the auctions end I send second chance offers to losing bidders with acceptable bids, I also email each winning bidder offering them the other guide at a substantial, one time discount. 

I list them in the 7 day auction format and at the end of each auction I relist them.

I have followed this strategy for several months now averaging 5 copies sold per week and my final values have dropped gradually from an average of $75 per copy down to $30. 

I decided to take a little break and waited 3 weeks before relisting them, during this break I ‘tweaked’ the listings; included new photos, a subtitle (I had none before) , altered the order of the title keywords, made minor changes to the descriptions.

I then relisted and BINGO!

My final values were $168 and $92 with 2 second chance offers accepted bringing in a further $135!

My grand total for the week….$395!!

So the moral of the story is…… you should continually improve your eBay listings, little changes can make a big difference to final values. A short break is also useful, it gives you time to reflect and time for your previous sale details to disappear from a ‘completed item’ search so your future bidders won’t be basing their bids on your lower final values.

This story also shows the value of creating your own information products.

Having written my guides my only costs are; paper, ink, plastic comb binders and envelopes (approximately $2 per copy in total)  plus eBay and PayPal fees.

I have created a series of videos to help you create your own information products and these will be delivered in sequence by email to you if you pop your details into the boxes at the top of this page.

There is nothing complicated about this, you just need to know what steps to take.
