I Need A Product Source
As I sell off “junk” from the warehouse, I find things to sell every day. The problem is it is such a variety and labor intensive to test electronic equipment. I need a product source of items that are smaller, consistently profitable and easier to pack. I think as our sales increase and we have extra money I will start looking for sources.
Companies have excess stock, close outs, seconds and many other things that a phone call might discover. To sell competitively on Ebay you need to buy below wholesale. You need the competitive edge. It will probably take me a month or so to get “investment capital” but I am patient.
A large part of my inventory is one of a kind items or obsolete computer related. Some old computers and peripherals are worth enough to make them worth while testing, but I have so much it is hard to figure out what is worth it and what is not.
This is why I really like the idea of internet marketing. It is not a matter of searching out inventory. It is simply creating it or having someone create it for you. A lot easier process. I just need to figure out how to make more profitable more quickly.
