If you don't sell what most buyers are interested in then it won't matter if you have a store or not.

It amazes me how many sellers sell things that your average buyer would not buy and also they sell things that you could go and buy cheaper at a BM store.

Its called niche selling and is probably the most succesful strategy a small seller can adopt. Stuff everyone wants is available everywhere. Highly specialised items are very hard to find, but most of the time there is a buyer somewhere in the world for it.

Probably the best example I have sold is a large box of vintage electrical components I purchased at a garage sale for $5. They where heavy duty resistors, about 40-50 years old, all new old stock, still in the packets of ten. I listed the packets ( over 1000 of them ) individually at $13.00 each and they sold like hot cakes with several very large bulk buyers.

And where did they all go ? .........
