No problem, ive got a masters in administration but my business model for this stuff is pretty rough around the edges!! i picked out a couple of ones that looked like they will be fairly steady (which is what its about, right??):
purchase 1 cost: 257.00
total sales: 400.00
profit: 143.00 about every 6 weeks
purchase 2 cost: 186.00
total sales: 550.00
profit: 364.00 about every 2-3 months
purchase 3 cost: 40, 50, 20 total: 110.00
just got this stuff in to try out but im looking at making about 225.00 (115 profit) but im not sure how long it will take me yet.
purchase 4 cost: 53.00
also another just in to try out and im looking at making about 120.00 (67 profit) but im not sure how long it will take me yet.
purchase 5 cost: 197.00
total sales: 350.00
profit: 153.00 that may wind up being seasonal. the first order sold in about 5 weeks but the second isnt leaving out so fast.
purchase 6 cost: 190.00
total sales: about 180.00 and I got one of them!
my buying process is 1: drink a rockstar and shop and surf the import sites like a mad, rabid raccoon. 2: if I am not familiar with the product, run everything past a couple of days of ebay auctions (cause as bad as we might hate too, it is still the great equalizer) 3: ask seller at least 1 question, every time, no exception. how and when they respond before you buy is a good indication of service through the sale. ESPECIALLY if it looks like a really hot selling item. If it looks like there is should be some reason you cant figure out why you could get it so cheap, there is probably a reason you cant figure out why you would get it so cheap. 4: buy it and wait for delivery, take a pic and get it out to every auction site im hitting these days.
