    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Appreciate the tip. I'll have to start digging. I'd honestly rather have a professional handle it for me until I get some experience because it looks like there are so many ins and outs and things I can mess up in the meantime haha.

    New Venture: Selling a Digital Product

    EXECUTION 
    Subscribed to the thread. SJVC is on to something I think, he's been a wealth of knowledge for me when it comes to my new ventures importing and selling on Amazon. Looking forward to seeing his progress here.

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    So I'm looking into Alibaba for the first time and I notice 1) a lot of much, much better prices, and 2) everything is FOB pricing. I've never dealt with any kind of large scale shipping before, since all I've had to deal with thus far is DHL, FedEx etc. Can anyone recommend a good resource to...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    ^^^ This, exactly. If they don't attempt to answer my basic questions, or they quote me something ridiculous (for instance, got a quote for 10 sample units today from a vendor that sells 1 unit MOQ, and he wanted more than the price listed in the shop per unit) I just don't respond. There's a...

    You have 600K in candies, what would you do?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    This keeps getting better and better. Now it involves nameless football players who obviously need a better manager. I'm sticking to my guns on this one. I still think it's stolen. I'm imagining some elaborate heist ala the movie Snatch, but where they grabbed an armored car in a...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Yeah, don't try to break them over a barrel over the sample prices. The idea is to get them to do the samples, not to push for margin on them (unless your "sample order" is dozens or hundreds of units that you plan on trying to make a profit off of, that's different I suppose.) I never ask if...

    You have 600K in candies, what would you do?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    That gives me a new product idea. We melt them down, mix them with water and chalk, and sell them as a cure-all for general stomach ailments. Like Pepto, but more fun, because of candy. I personally see big things in our future as candy moguls.

    You have 600K in candies, what would you do?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I've had a few more ideas of how we can monetize the large sum of candy the forum has come into possession of (I assume he came to us because he wants us to take the candy off his hands, and since he hasn't said otherwise, I'm sticking with that.) 1) We can grind it up and sell it as concrete...

    You have 600K in candies, what would you do?

    Are the candies in question vaguely tablet shaped? If so, unwrap them all, put them in bottles and sell them as a magical african fruit extract guaranteed* to help you lose weight. You'll make millions. *if purchased and not used, while accompanied by diet, exercise, liposuction and/or lap...

    Hey, maybe it fell off the back of a truck and it's 100% profit. This guy might be on to a new revenue stream most of us haven't considered. You can all expect my "Making Millions Selling Stolen Candy" progress thread soon.

    If you want to get a good deal, you need to be able to negotiate hard. The key to it is to get out of your mental comfort zone and start telling people what you want and what they can do for you. Think the price they offer isn't good enough? Tell them. If they're not answering your questions it...

    EPIC Kickstarter Project - Potato Salad

    I hope he rents a big party hall and gets a lot of pizza, because he invited anyone that pledged over $10 to hang out in the kitchen while he makes it haha. He's going to have to go back on a lot of the less practical rewards but even after delivering the books, hats, shirts, livestreaming the...

    Where to Host a Comment-Free Word Press Blog

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Honestly, whenever I bothered to set up a blog I disabled comments (except in one case where they were absolutely necessary, and then I installed every spam filter and guard I could buy on the site.) Grab a domain from somewhere like Hostgator that uses Fantastico or something similar that...

    FBA and Importing Goods From China

    HOT! SOURCING 
    I didn't really explain myself well but you managed to answer my question anyway. I was asking more along the lines of how to compete selling a product that Amazon or another large retailer sells. If I understood correctly, you're saying don't use their ASIN (so it shows up as a "price option"...

    Do you find it hard to compete with products that Amazon sells themselves or with big sellers? I've found a couple items I can make a great margin on but they're either sold and fulfilled by Amazon, or sold by guys with hundreds of feedback across dozens of items. The funny part is those guys...

    I got these from a list of inspirational gym quotes, so I don't know who to attribute them to, but I think a bunch of them apply outside the gym too. "Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success." "The hardest thing about earning a title is the...

    Going to hop in and kick the dead horse too. Action leads to outcome. Do something. Even if you're not 100% sure its the right thing to do, it's better to do something than to do nothing, and it's easier to start and correct path along the way than it is to never start and succeed by osmosis. A...
