BULQ Liquidation Source

eBay promoting BULQ. They told me about it in early September, now things are really slow. I guess they think I'll buy a boatload of stuff from BULQ. Do your due diligence on BULQ. Don't think it instant solution for eBay riches.

eBay sales were down in August, I read, about 2%. Things will be really slow without STIM checks and unemployment.

I've got thousands of post cards that seem to be selling in the mall, if priced right.

Small little towns are what most look for as a regional collectibles. Big cities, not so much.
I spend a lot of time checking out "sold" items to see what is selling and for how much.

You have to check the market out all of the time as it changes all of the time.

goods are going to be in short supply due to supply chain breakdowns and slowdowns.
People could be looking for alternative gifts ideas this year.
I hope.

their site. It's kind of like a giant storage auction all the time. That would be a real handy way to stock up a store or flea market booth, but I don't know about ebay. Sometimes you look for something on ebay and there are 100 offers of the same thing for almost the same price so much of it must go unsold.

There are more than a few unhappy posts online that overbid on odd lots and closeouts. America has so much stuff that just about every retailer now has a closeout/clearance aisle, shelf, or display. BULQ sounds similar to me. There's a reason they didn't move this stuff the first time.
