Trouble finding profitable items | Selling

I'm looking for some input from the pros. I have been a casual ebayer, mostly just selling things around the house, since 2006. I recently decided to make a business out of it. I've been doing the math and am struggling to find things that will be profitable to sell. I'm not too picky about what specific items I sell. I'm leaning towards small light weight things that are easy and cheap to ship, and items with a higher price tag, maybe $50-$100. Obviously, I want things that sell well and that aren't too saturated. I'm taking the estimated selling price and subtracting cost of goods, estimated ebay fees (that include shipping,) and taxes (including self employment tax.) I'm aiming for a 15% net profit margin. My issue is finding things that will meet this goal. Your input is appreciated.
