Black Friday BENEFITS Guide: Toys
I have been buying and selling toys and collectibles for about 5 years now. Over the years, I have taught myself to look for products that can become potential sellers and make a decent profit. As we get closer and closer to the holidays and Black Friday, I start to write down several potential toys that could get hot and head to the stores to buy some. I am NOT a hoarder and I don’t buy every toy I find in the store. This is wrong and will result in bad karma, so don’t go to the store and buy everything in stock. This guide is meant to help you earn some extra cash, or even secure the hottest toys so you can give them away and make the kids happy!
Black Friday is the official start of the holiday shopping season and it quickly turns into a madhouse. Every year, there are a few “hot” items that are on everyone’s wish list. These toys sell out instantly and become impossible to find. Many people turn to eBay, Craigslist or any other resource to secure these toys where they will spend WAY more than they would at the store. This is bad for the buyer but great news for the seller. A smart seller will have hunted down the best toys of the year and secured them weeks before Black Friday.
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the most popular toys of this year, and guess what? The first prediction camera is TRUE! I’ll list the things I think will sell this year, but I want to mention that UNO is ALREADY sold out, and Black Friday hasn’t happened yet. Fisher Price launched “Dance Star Mickey” At first I didn’t know about this product because it was $70, but I decided to take a chance and bought 2 on Amazon (NO taxes, FREE shipping and earn bonus points on my credit card) and take a chance. Scroll down and see: If you go to Amazon right now, this product is out of stock and people are already asking for $90. If Amazon has more in stock, I recommend buying 1 or 2. I see this product easily selling for over $100 custom as we approach the holidays.
The next item I think will sell out is the Red Mario 25th Anniversary Nintendo Wii and the DSI XL. These were recent items and are still available for purchase. Amazon has both for sale for MSRP. If you visit eBay, you’ll notice that these items are ALREADY selling for $20-$40 MORE than Amazon. This is nonsense and just shows you how easily you can earn some extra money by doing a little research. I know that once these 2 items are sold out eBay will become a madhouse and prices will skyrocket.
The last item I want to discuss is Sing A Ma Jigs, especially the Santa version. This is a limited edition green/red toy that has the potential to sell and possibly make a profit of $20. I also have some sing a ma jigs sitting around in my room, in case they run out of course. It never hurts to try.
So, if you want to earn some extra money this holiday, I suggest you take a look at the products I mentioned above. I would also appreciate reading my other articles for other tips for this holiday season. I also have a personal blog!
