Interesting thread, loved it.

I'm gonna start using Ebay for market testing before making a funnel.

The completed listings and sold listings is a gold-mine, tbh.

[Already got some wholesale stock coming] :p

Your mention of wholesale stock already on its way rang alarm bells. I have seen too many people jump in the deep end when it comes to locating and placing orders for stock without being aware of the risks. I suggest you go back a couple of pages to Post #2190 October 28 2021 where you will find a link to my AMA Sharing My Lifetime Experience, in which I have helped many people.

Thanks man, you seem to be the de facto wholesale expert here :D

It was liquidation wholesale stock.

UK Based, so it arrived 2 days later.

Goal is to sell it on ebay and a sales funnel, since I see it sells by checking completed listing.

Yeah I probably jumped in to quick but hey at the very least it only cost me £50 for 1000 pieces. 0.04p/1unit vat added a bit extra tho

Still figuring out the COGS all that good stuff.

You seized a good opportunity and I wish you success. My specialty is product sourcing (even the impossible) and safe shipping and importing.
