Any popular childeren's toy that you can sell as a dropshipper before christmas. This new Tickle me Elmo would be a case in point and is looking to be a hot item. I'd also go with any new console system comming out (none scheduled for this christmas). First off, there's no product advertising to pay for, other than your E Bay listing. Secondly, it's drop shipping. You don't need space for an inventory, in many cases you don't even do any of the actual shipping, it's done for you. Product shipping is included in your up front pricing, so you're never out money, even for a second, for shipping articles. Essentially, all you do is set up your EBay ads, and transfer orders to your supplier. You can charge whatever you want. A good example is the X box last year. The retail was 500 dollars.Many vendors on E bay were selling at 700-900 dollars. If they were drop shipping, they may have even gotten the units at wholesale and resold with a 60% profit margin easily. There's one item, that you can make yourself, that seems to do ok on Ebay. Write a book. It can be about anything. I can even just be an article on "How to crochet standing on your head and backhanding your Hubby". Strange stuff sells.
