Don’t even think about loans or anything like that yet. You need a definite plan first. Where are you going to get your product? Are you going to hold inventory? Drop-ship? How much are you willing to risk?

Collectibles are a very competitive market. But it’s fairly easy to test it out with ebay. Just buy a few things and put them up as listings at first to test the waters. Study and practice writing descriptions as it makes all the difference in the world. I actually just put my own store up, a yahoo store, and I don’t hold any inventory at all.

You just have to plan.
