Anyone tried brokering and importing/exporting through alibaba.com.
Basically, I just learned about a seemingly great business model. You find some distressed goods from manufacturer/seller, you find a buyer for it on ecommerce site like alibaba.com or even in offline world. You set up a meet for them if needed and help set up shipping. You get your comission.
One can have big margins on that.
Or even a smaller margin like one guy sells wallpaper for 70 cents/unt which costs 50ct/unt at manufaturer's. He makes 5k average comission on a deal.
If one works on this full time, you can have multiple deals every week.
Personally, I'm gonna try this out. Select a niche and then start brokering.. Even if I pulled off only a deal a month I could make dull time income from it prolly.
Anyone tried this or wants to try?
