This trixy technique is called ‘sniping’ and is perfectly legal. It’s very annoying when someone does it to you but it can be a most effective way to win auctions?but only if you’re able to keep a constant eye on the listing and have a computer all fired up and ready to go.

But’ we’re faced with a problem. We can’t always be on hand each time a selected auction reaches its final moments. It can mean having to log in many times each day or perhaps even in the middle of the night. Well’ the answer could be to use special sniping software.

Okay’ so what is sniping software and how does it work?

Basically’ it’s a clever little programme which you can set up in advance to place a last minute auction bid on your behalf. Some sniping programs can be downloaded. With others’ you place your bid through a special sniping website. You can then wander off’ play golf or whatever’ knowing that your bid will be made – in the dying moments – for that ‘must have’ special item.

And it’s all very simple to activate.

You just enter the details of each auction you’re interested in (i.e. the auction number) and the maximum amount you’re prepared to pay for the item. And here’s the really sneaky part! The program then lodges your bid in the very last SECONDS of the auction. This means that anyone bidding against you just hasn’t the time to place a counter bid. Auto snipers claim to be around 95 ? 99 per cent successful in enabling you to win auctions this way.

There are various sniping programs and services available. Most will charge you a small free but will allow you a free trial of their software first. I’ve used them and won some important auctions so my advice is to have a free trial run. You’ve nothing too lose.

Thus one of the best possible ways to turn a profit online is to find wholesale sources that will drop-ship thes products directly to your customers who come to your website for more informatation. Also you could set up ebay auctions to sell these products.

BUT….

Most of the wholesale sources ebooks’ list of 10’000 drop shippers etc. that you see being offered online just don’t cut it. Either they are full of links that lead to websites that are no longer active’ lead you to wholesalers who carry junk products (dollar store items’ as seen on TV stuff)’ or the price are too high for you to make any profits.

Actually most of the time the so called wholesale sources you find in these ebooks and lists are nothing more than “middle men”. They are buying from the real wholesalers and then reselling the products to you at a marked up price so they will make a profit.

But what if you could cut out the middle men and find real wholesalers of brand name products at prices that will be profitable for you. Well you can do this but it won’t happen by depending on those outdated ebooks and drop shippers list.

You need to find these sources your self. It could be as simple as finding a porduct manufaturer or supplier and simply asking them if they can drop ship the product directly to your customers. Some times you may have to negotiate a deal to get them to drop ship for you.

Either way you’ll make more money because you can get the in demand brand name products you want at a good price.

So how do you find wholesale suppliers?

Just use the links below and you’ll be able to find plenty of wholesale sources that will drop ship for you’ some of them in your own back yard.

http://www.yellowpages.com – Don’t over look this as your number one lead to wholesalers. Think about it for a second. Just about every brick and mortar business in the United States is listed in the yellow pages including wholesalers. Just use the “Search By Word” option and type in “Wholesale” along with selecting your state from the drop down box. You can also do a nation wide search.

http://www.surplus.net – This website lists lost of overstock and pallet lots of surplus and refurbished merchandise at very good prices. Theres lot products listed here and sometimes you can get 50%-80% of the wholesale price.

http://www.alibaba.com – This is one website where you will be able to find tons sources for product to sell. This site it HUGE chance are if you search for aproduct type or brand name here you’ll more than likely find a supplier.

http://www.globalsources.com – The suppliers here are from all over the globe. The majority of the suppliers here are the actual manufacturer for the products they offer so you can get some really good prices.

http://www.ec21.com

http://www.exportbureau.com -Legitimate businesses are listed here and many of them are the manufactures of the products.

http://www.fashions.net-Clothing and fashion overstock’ surplus and salvage.

http://www.computers.org -Computers’ Laptops’ printers and related product.

http://www.made-in-china.com-Suppliers and manufactures located in china.

Other website worth a look are.

http://www.wholesale411.com

http://www.toysdirect.com

http://directory.google.com/Top/Business/Wholesale_Trade/

http://www.fleamarketguide.com/wholesal.htm

http://www.topwholesalesuppliers.com

http://www.wholesalehub.com

http://www.4wholesaleusa.com

http://www.wholesalecentral.com

http://www.andale.com – You can search for products here and it will tell you the average selling price for of particular type of item based on what is selling on ebay.

NOTES:

Always get a sample of the product you want to sell before you actually start selling it to your customers. You need to inspect the quality of the merchandise and make sure that your wholesale supplier is actually selling the item or brand name that they say they are.

This can be easily accomplished if your supplier sells individual items.

If you supplier only sells in bulk try to get them to send you a sample. If they won’t do this they may not be a company that you want to deal with especially if they are located overseas.

And never pay for your items by wire transfer’ if you supplier ask you to do this it is just best that you walk away because wire transfers are not traceable and if your supplier isn’t trust worthy you will not be able to get your money back.

Most people are born with an enormous potential to think and be. We’ve had roughly the same potential thousands of years ago that the greatest scientists use now to unlock the secrets of the universe and spark revolutionary inventions. The difference now is our knowledge – the knowledge of how to use our potential that’s been laying dormant for thousands of years.

The secrets of the universe have always been there. The possibility for invention has always existed. It was the evolution of knowledge that allowed us to access more of our potential that made the difference. Ideas exist right now that could make you a billion dollars by next year! Right now these ideas exist’ right this very second. They wait for the right person with enough knowledge to pluck them from the sky and turn a flash of insight into a tangible solution.

The very fact that we have the power to unlock a potential vastly greater than we’ve ever been exposed to might still be hard to comprehend. Imagine the irony of a hairy grunting caveman emerging from his cave to stare up at the stars’ and having the physical resources to build a space ship that could land on the moon. It’s almost unfathomable ? yet it happened’ very slowly’ over many generations.

Imagine yourself now as a modern caveman. Look up at the stars and try to comprehend what secrets you might be able to unlock in your short lifetime ? a journey that might seem unfathomable at this time.

You of course don’t have as much time to make things right as Evolution does. If a messed up person is born into the world’ evolution has more people to compensate for the defect. Evolution has plenty of time to correct herself and plenty of people (over six billion in the world) to spread out the defects so that progression still takes place. On a micro scale as individuals we have just one lifetime and roughly 80 – 100 years to work out own defects.

Once knowledge is gained outside its original confinements’ the sphere of understanding has expanded’ never to return to its original state. That is the essence of progression. Every new thought’ every new perspective’ ever new invention takes us past a point we cannot return to. We may fight it (like the dark ages)’ but inevitably the world takes the shape of its most expanded state (like the Renaissance until today).

Clarity of vision gives us focus. That focus sets us on a course far outside our current sphere of understanding. As our knowledge expands significantly – so does our life progression. It is inevitable that with significant progression we should experience significant reward. Our end destination may be so unfathomable at present that we can only journey there in our imaginations. We may laugh at the future we create for ourselves’ and certainly those around us in our present circumstances might laugh at our ambitions. Much like we’d laugh at the caveman if he said some day someone in his family would land on that mysterious orb of light called the moon. But the moon was a real objective. We could always see it. It was out in front of us generation after generation taunting us. It was inevitable that it had to be explored. You can be sure it won’t stop there either ? we will eventually conquer Mars. It is in man’s nature to visit and "conquer" every possible destination in the world and beyond.

So we now have the understanding of man’s ambition to conquer every real and visible destination before us. We can use this understanding to create a very real and tangible vision that looms over us like the mysterious light of the moon. A destination so clear the mind can’t tell whether it’s real or imaginary. A destination so vivid and enticing the mind can’t help but desire to conquer it.

It is in the clarity of vision we discover the root of motivation. The small steps we take today lead us to a tomorrow we could have only imagined. And here we discover the future for what it really is. A figment of our imagination ? nothing more than a prediction based on present day facts. Predictions based on logical guessing. And a guess is all we have to influence the future.

If you guess where you’ll be with a hazy idea ? you’re right! Your life will be clouded and you’ll reach a hazy destination’ not sure if you’ve made it or if you’re still climbing. The mind may tirelessly seek for something to conquer but it finds nothing more than a misty haze of hills and valleys. Searching for something but not quite sure what it is.

If you guess (or craft a guess as a goal) with a very clear idea’ you might at first laugh at the prediction. That’s because it’s based on present day facts. The fact that you live in a motor home with $50 in the bank makes the prediction of having $10 million dollars in 5 years ridiculous. But you have the power to change the factoring. For example if you live in a motor home with $50 in the bank but you study at Harvard Business School ? that might make the prediction of achieving $10 million in 5 years more realistic. By adding just one fact to the circumstance you influenced the logical conclusion. On a side note even if you couldn’t afford Harvard Business School you could create the equivalent by accessing cheaper but well researched forms of education around you.

You have control over a variety of present day factors that allow you to influence your future’s logical conclusion. But the only way to really take control is by getting clear on what you want. For instance you wouldn’t go to Harvard Business School if you really wanted to become a Nun. You’ve got to be clear on your destination to take the right steps on getting there.

Once your vision becomes real things may seem to pop up out of nowhere that will bring you closer to your once impossible goal. Don’t be fooled’ this isn’t magic. You’ve just started to see the road signs that lead you to your ultimate destination. This only happens with focus. And you can only focus on something you can clearly see. British mountaineer George Leigh Mallory was once asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest’ and replied’ ‘Because it’s there’.

The word luck implies that the person had very little to do with the positive outcome they are currently enjoying. In fact’ it even conjures up the idea that someone that is enjoying their success could have as easily achieved the result from doing something as simple as going to the local store and purchasing a lottery ticket and hoping for the best.

The reality is that “luck” in and of itself in virtually all the cases of those where one might define a person as being successful had little if anything to do with it. Very often’ the exact opposite is true.

One can easily find countless examples where the ingredients of being action oriented’ and persistent had much more to do with the attainment and rewards these people are enjoying.

Assuming that you agree with me that the word “luck” by itself has very little to do with what it truly takes to be successful in ones ventures — why is it that all to often we don’t associate the true ingredients when discussing the success of others?

Rather then use words such as lucky’ why don’t we instead celebrate the fact that the person in question worked hard’ put forth the ample effort and is being rewarded for all that went into getting them to where they are now.

Perhaps we should look to several examples as to why this is true. First’ very often we want the quickest results possible. Knowing this is the case’ accepting that having the stick-to-it-ness necessary to achieve greatness isn’t all that glamorous.

Perhaps it is easier for us to simply say’ they were lucky then to say’ “If they can do it’ I can learn from this persons example and achieve similar results in my given area of endeavor”.

In looking not to just the end result’ or glamorous rewards often associated with the success stories of other people’ but also in the hardships they had to endure we can gain a needed strength. It is from that very strength that I believe we can in turn move closer to our own definition of success.

The next time you hear someone calling a person’s achievement lucky’ I hope you will do both yourself and the other person a big favor and disagree with them wholeheartedly. Remind them that far more likely then simply “luck” was all the effort that we may not even be aware of that went into getting them to where they are now.

It’s a simple shift in the way we choose to view things’ but it is a shift that gives us the power and knowing that we are as capable as anyone when it comes to reaching our dreams and desires.
