Oster A5 pet clipping shears and 17 sets of blades, $25.

Oster has been making pet clippers for many years, during which time their original pet clipper model has expanded to include numerous models. But the one important thing that hasn't changed about them is the round, 'flashlight' look that sets Oster clippers apart from the cheaper brands you're likely to run across. Sure, you can buy a new set of Oster clippers at Walmart for under $20, but they're not the ones you want if you're looking to resell for a profit!

Today, in addition to these older black, single-speed models, you're just as likely to run across Oster's newer models, like the "Golden" series, the cordless models and the two-speed versions. And they come in colors like blue and even chrome. One thing you can be sure of, though, is that round-body Oster clippers spell money, and even an old black single speed clipper like the ones in this entry can easily sell for well over $50 on eBay.

These Oster pet clippers represent such a great opportunity for you because few people out there can tell them apart from the cheap $19.95 Wahl and Oster clippers, which is why you can still find these beauties languishing at yard sales on Saturday afternoon. But confusion is what makes us money in this business, isn't it? After all, if all makes and models of electric clippers performed on eBay like the Oster, you can bet we'd be seeing fewer of them at yard sales!

Like so many of the other profiles I cover here at Auctionbandits, you'll now start seeing more and more of these Oster clippers at yard sales, flea markets and thrift shops, and wonder where they've all been hiding. They've been there the whole time, you just had no reason to notice them before.

Now, of you really want to do yourself a favor, take a few minutes to learn a bit about the blades that fit these clippers! Blades for the Oster A5 clippers can sell on eBay for over $20 apiece, which means that so you should aleays keep an eye out for them even if no clippers are in sight!
