5 Things You Can Buy From Walmart To Resell And Make A Lot Of Money

As we’ve written about in another article (What Can a Kid Sell To Earn Money? Money Making Ideas For Kids), you can make money when you buy from Walmart to resell on Ebay and other auction sites. After experimenting with this method, our researcher is able to report that he was able to make a sizable sum of money from buying from Walmart to resell on Ebay. Here’s a run down of 5 items that he found in Walmart and successfully sold on Ebay for pretty good money:

CD’s

We’ve found from our research that recipe CD’s sell really well on Ebay. Our researcher found some recipe CD’s in Walmart for $1.00 each and sold them for $5 a piece. Plus, he charged a little over $1.00 for shipping on top of that. These sold really fast!

Electronics

Our researcher found a 512K mp3 player manufactured by Creative Labs that normally sells for $99 at the time, however, they were on sale for $29 each. They were sold at $40 each on Ebay!

Toys

A whole shopping cart full of the toy Beanz were found in Walmart. They were marked down to $1 each but after bargaining with the manager at Walmart, got them at 50 cents a piece! These were a fabulous money maker!

Not sure what Beanz are? Well, they’re basically plastic beans about the size of the end of your thumb and they have a ball bearing inside that makes them move around when you toss them. Beanz are painted and decorated like cartoon characters. Kids collect Beanz and play games with them.

Candles and Other Household Items

In Walmart’s closeout section, we found some huge three wick candles weighing around 3 or 4 pounds each. They were marked down from $19 each to $1 a piece. These sold for $11 each on Ebay!

DVD’s

Walmart has a number of DVD’s found in huge DVD bins that made a pretty decent profit on eBay. One example is The Beverly Hillbillies which purchased from Walmart at around $5 and sold on ebay for $12 each. Another example was Jumanji which was found at Walmart in the DVD dump bin for $5 a copy. These were resold on Ebay for $12.50 per copy.

Again, these are just 5 items that we found from our research that you can buy from Walmart to resell. But with a little imagination, you can do the same with other things - and we explain how in our more in-dept article: Ideas For What to Sell to Make Money: Money Making Ideas For Kids.

Just about anybody can make money buying stuff and then reselling them. At 12 years old Cameron Johnson, “offered his sister $100 for her collection of Beanie Babies, which he sold on eBay for $1000. He then contacted a wholesaler, and continued selling Beanie Babies on eBay and his Cheers and Tears website”. Within a year he made $50,000. Read more about him here: How To Make $50,000 By The Age Of 12.

One of the important point to take away from this story is, If a 12 year old kid can sit at his computer and make $50,0000, so can you. You may not make as much as he did, but maybe you can get close. Then, again, why not? All it takes is a little imagination and creativity. And AJ if you’re reading this, get off your bum and quit whining and complaining and starting taking action now.
