Spy Gadgets Super Seller Says Tougher Economic Times Boost Spy Gadget Sales
Consumers have always been a paranoid bunch but
, in times of recession, they tend to co surveillance and counter-surveillance crazy.
The technology exists to allow you to do anything from listen to conversations through walls and nanny cams that let you spy on the babysitter to make sure she is not doing anything to little Johnny that is going to require therapy in later years. People can now be surveillant on their own without having to hire a private investigator and, according to one eBay powerseller, people are taking advantage of that as much as they can.
The selling of surveillance equipment to the public sector has become a $100 million business over the last few years
What this equates to for eBay resellers and online vendors is a hugely untapped market that is only getting larger.
So what is the downside to this growing market?
The downside is that sometimes your customers' actions might fall on the grayer side of the law and you might end up getting the blame for it.
When creating your product descriptions be sure to list the intended, legal uses for the product.
For instance, when describing some type of covert listening device be sure to mention it's applications such as:
* Recording business meetings
* Law enforcement
* Journalism
* Secret Shoppers
* Private investigators, etc.
These things will help to reiterate the fact that your products are sold for "legal purposes only", which is another good point to bring out.
The spy gadget market is a multi million dollar business.
With a little imagination in your advertising you could easily have a share of the burgeoning security field.
There are a wide variety of outlets to choose from that can get you started with anything from personal security devices such as pepper spray and tasers to the most elaborate surveillance set ups.
