[AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.
GOLD! SOURCINGI just spent 4 days talking to wholesalers in just about any niche you can think of and the average minimum order... under $500.

GOLD! SOURCINGThis is just the pamphlets/business cards from suppliers who we are interested in ordering their products sometime in the next year. If we weren't going to set up a website in that niche in the next 12 months we didn't get any info. We collected all of this over the 4 days in Vegas. It wasn't...- Ecom man

[AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.
GOLD! SOURCINGYou can really do it either way. My personal opinion is to do a niche per site. Say for example I want to sell pool toys on a website. I wouldn't also sell women's clothing on that site but I might sell beach toys as well or other pool/beach related items.- Ecom man

Idea to Break into snow removal or increase market share.
IDEAI have a VERY hard time believing that no snow removal company in your area salts. I lived in the Midwest all my life. Every single snow removal company also offers to salt after they shovel the snow or salt if there is an ice storm. Not every customer chooses to pay for salting because it...- Ecom man

Own a Business? Answer Your Damn Phone
NOTABLE! PEOPLEI've experienced small business owners not calling back a lot when trying to do remodels. What it has come down to is they really don't want your business.

Where to Park the Little Money that I have?
