I’ll be the first one to admit it – I love the eBay Affiliate Program and the Amazon Affiliate Program and have generated quite a good income from them over the years.
But did you also know you can use these two merchants for your own personal needs? Your money doesn’t grow only when you make it online….you also become rich when you become The Millionaire Next Door and start saving the income you’ve earned!
Here’s a technique I use to determine what makes for a logical offering price when trying to snag a goodie on eBay.
Let’s say that you have this insane desire for, oh, hmmm, an unlocked iPhone or Unlocked PDA or….. Click on that link and then scroll down and look to your left. You should see a Search option that reads
Completed Listings
ie:

See that Completed Listings option? Check it off and click Search Items – you’ll see the prices both completed auctions achieved (those are in green) and auctions that didn’t meet the reserve price (those are in red).
This is a SUPER way for making an educated guess as to what you should bid/expect to spend in the future for specific eBay items.
I’ve saved bunches this way by making certain I don’t overbid or get anxious about items.
Nice, eh?
Enjoy,
Barbara

Oh, excellent! Is this a new feature on eBay? I’d tried in the past to find out the final auction price but had never known how to do it. Not only does such info help when making one’s own bids, it also helps for people interested in selling their stuff with a reserve price, too. Kate’s last blog post..My Life Is A Sitcom
Hi Kate!
Nope, it’s not a new feature, but it’s one really useful….
