eBay Scavengers Episode 87: Our Experiences Buying and Selling Military Surplus on eBay

Posted on 14:57 by Unknown

We have been experimenting with selling vintage and modern military surplus on eBay for a couple years now. Sites like Government Liquidation are filled with cool stuff in bulk quantities, but often take a large initial investment to get started. You might also need a big old truck, a trailer and some serious storage. We have also approached individual sellers to help them cull their insane surplus hoarding and have had good luck. Do you have experience buying and selling surplus items? We'd love to hear your stories in the comments.
