The way Brandon Dupsky tells it, he was just an ordinary small town boy growing up in Nebraska where it was all cornfields and cattle. In 1998 he started selling a few items from his basement primarily his old record collection and was surprised at how much money he could make from items that were worth so little elsewhere. Soon, Brandon was buying cheap stuff from garage sales, auctions stuff that other people considered as junk and selling it at a profit on eBay. As he really did live in a small town, pretty soon he had exhausted his local sources and needed to find other sources of products to sell online. His initial approach to the local business community bombed no-one at his local Chamber of Commerce was interested in selling off their excess stock. However, he got his first opportunity to sell online came from a local businessman who had heard his presentation and hoped to use Brandon to sell an unwanted order of spy equipment. This was his first offer and Brandon wasnt going to turn it down! He duly photographed the equipment which was about the size of the truck and put it up on eBay. However, he has also asked this businessman if he had any other stock that was surplus to his requirements and it just so happened that this guy had a few pieces of electronic equipment for sale. Using his eBay selling techniques, Brandon managed to sell all of these and the rest, as they say, is history! It is a well-document piece of information that Brandon Dupsky, the boy from Nebraska, made over $8 million last year, thats over $20,000 dollars every day. With $86 million in sales every day on eBay, and sales increasing at over 60% per year. Not only that, but eBay is not the single largest marketplace online. No-one can afford to ignore this fast-growing internet market! Yet, despite his success, Brandon is just a regular guy hes quiet and unassuming, yet speaks with a passion about his field of expertise in selling eBay products. |
