I'm restarting a new era of generals on this pajeet scam coin ridden board.
Idk if any of you have noticed, but all decent entrepreneurship generals have been deleted from archives, there was years worth of information on business startups and legitimate information on side hustles on them, all gone...

I intend on making generals every day on reselling so different anons can share their tips and stories, and so at last, we have one general on here where we can breathe away from pajeet rajneeshes selling their shitcoins.

Go ahead and share your stories brothers, and if anyone has any of the old /entg/ content saved somehwere, please do share!

Shipping on even the lightest stuff is like $4 each now. Higher priced goods are pretty much all that works.

QRD on /entg/ threads is simple, it was during the 4chan raids that coincided with /pol/ being raided by plebbitors, this board got raided by an insane amount of discord trannies and pajeets shilling scam coins (as you can probably see, it's what the board is comprised of these days)
i can date /entg/ threads as far back as 2015, those generals were rampant with people sharing legitimate advice on their own businesses, side hustles, you name it
those threads were a breath of fresh air on this board that made poor wagie anons at least gain some hope on escaping the kike slave chains
fast forward to about 2019/2020, right around when covid hit, those generals went dark, i tried reviving them sometimes but to no avail, almost like they got shitcoin scammers on hold just spamming this board
fast forward to early this year, all those years of entgs kept on archives were simply gone, I think the last time I was able to access all that content was March of this year...
you can make your own assumptions on why scam coin threads would get priority over real ways of making money and people coming together sharing advice and their personal experiences

Thanks for the info. It is kind of stupid. There should be a way to report personal sales to be exempt. Sellers that stay in the realm of an online garage sale should be left alone.

9 times out of 10 the seller didn't keep the original receipts so they can't claim a loss.

which isn't really fair, but the government also knows nobody was paying their property taxes on the items they sold so they figure they'll take what they can get.

yeah, what you can write off depends on how much money you make as well as other factors like if you have a history of running profitable businesses.

writing off stuff like a home office for a couple thousand in ebay sales is likely to get a person in trouble. Writing off a home office for a couple hundred grand in sales is probably normal.

I run everything out of my house, so I'm kind of always involved with this one way or another. That's my personal choice though. In the end you always get to decide when you're working on it
>what are some of the perks and downsides of ebay as a job?
I make my own schedule, I've finally been able to start sleeping a consistent 8 hours and it's noticeably improved my general well-being. I don't need to deal with typical workplace gripes like incompetent supervisors, office politics, hr policies, etc.

Some cons would be that money can be inconsistent. Right now a lot of people are getting killed with how few sales are happening. I fucking hate how much ebays fees are, but for alot of the things I sell ebay is the best place to put them.

Just thinking about it. I've done tons of research though but I have yet to pull the trigger. How much capital to really get going?

I'm assuming you are buying things that turn over quickly based on ranking?

What margins are acceptable per item and what isn't worth it?

What tools do you use to make the process easier?

I do have a vehicle and live in the city so there should be options to buy things. I alright with crypto so I have some capital and free time to get something going. I need cash flow. My living expenses are insanely low.

hear this speaker, hear what he has to say
all I know on the subject is synthesizers are good to buy/resell
essentially, a lot of the people that buy them are skint and end up having to sell them in desperation, whereby they undercut themselves and sell at a loss
laptops are sometimes decent, phones too if you know what to look for but not my cup of tea
for example you can get job lot of thinkpads for cheap sometimes (ive got 3 for 50 before), tend to get snapped up quick, but resell individually for more (depends on model, those 3 i sold for 120 each)

Its not really worth it.. These days those same chink factories you order bulk from sell their own products on amazon, so you cant compete with the factory itself. Just look at amazon its basically just aliexpress with quicker shipping.
And ebay has some shadow sales cap system in place, they basically shadow ban you from getting over a certain threshhold in sales per month.

Not sure if youll still have this thread open but RA in the US is meant to be insanely easy becuase of all your stores like ROSS and shit. Basically you can start with any amount over £250 in the uk so id guess about the same for you guys. The fastest money is made selling those items with big rankings yea, sometimes youll get lucky and find a 500 sales/m item with nobody on the listing and thats the best of both worlds. The reality is though youll probably be sharing with 5-10 other sellers but on a listing that does 1000 a month thats fine. Ive noticed noobs love to buy toys that sell like 20 a month for a massive ROI, this isnt a bad strategy when youve got some capital but the fact is selling 20 scrub daddys at £2 profit is double the money and I can guarantee Ill sell all those quicker than one thomas the tank toy.
My margins are 15-30% Amazon does rinse you on fees but theres literally no other free money glitch like this so its worth it.
I use sellerampSAS and Sellertoolkit First one for profit calc and sourcing second one for profit tracking and a few other things. Best place to get started is probably youtube as always, I dont know a lot about the US but from what I've heard from UK sellers its crazy value over there.

If you mean literal jews and glowniggers than yes you would be right. Various organizations have outright admitted to campaigns to target users on 4Chan because of "radicalism" and wrong think so they do actively patrol these forums in order to demoralize. The last thing these groups want are people who engage in "wrong-think" to succeed financially.

I'm not kidding whatsoever. Its imperative people actually pick a strategy and implement it with persistence. A business, sales, consulting, agency etc or simply anything where your time involved doesn't cap your earnings like a normal wage or salary. Financial freedom allows users here to spread their ideas and influence.

That being said, their efforts do actually demoralize some frequent users, who in turn spread the sentiment, so its hard to differentiate between organic or inorganic posting.

Excellent, I really do appreciate the reply I've been keeping this tab open all day so your effort wasn't wasted.

I do live in the US and have stores like that in my area. TJ Maxx and Gabes. Those are both clothes generally though but I bet shoes would be a great niche.

How difficult is it to get ungated on a certain product? How does one go about that process? That was the main factor that kept deterring me from starting.

>>52946020
>I use sellerampSAS and Sellertoolkit First one for profit calc and sourcing second one for profit tracking and a few other things.

These are good tips I'll check them out. I could easily start with $1000 and scale to $5000 of inventory no problem once I understand what I'm doing. I have the capital just not the experience.

Are there certain rankings numbers that you are looking for specifically. I'm not really sure what is worth it and what isn't in that regard. I want fast turn over ideally with lower profit margins I'm thinking in my case.

Any videos you watched would be great if you could share them or any other resources I should read that you found crucial in your learning process.

Thanks again

Between my Citi Double Cash (2% back) and My Coinbase Debit Card(1-4% back rotating each month) I routinely get anywhere from 3-6% cash back on all my purchases each month since I can pay off the Citi Double Cash with my Coinbase Debit card and the rewards stack. Its awesome.

That would help my bottom line a lot when buying inventory. It would also increase my credit limit quickly as well I'd imagine with extra spending.

I see people talking about Rollo printers and other items to make it more efficient. I happen to live right next a post office as well. Literally 1 block away.

I have a real nice PC but my phone isn't the greatest just a Samsung Galaxy 9 +. If I wanted to be serious about this would it be worth my time to get a higher performing phone to make everything more streamlined?

Ungating is a bit weird, sometimes a third party will have the main listing (even for a big brand) and so you can get ungated instantly. Sometimes youll have to ungate manually but once youve got decent sales youll get ungated on a lot of things just from having a decent account history. The way to get ungated in the UK is to just order 10 products from a wholesaler and send in the invoice. For example I sell a lot of groceries so i ordered a case of gummy sweets for like £30 and thats the whole grocery section ungated.

SAS has you covered on sales ranks, their default filter is 25% ROI and smth like 150sales/mo and thats what id go for minimum starting out. I like household and beauty products, people always need cleaning products etc and Stacey cant go without make up, grocery is good too. Avoid electronics unless its a great deal because returns can kill you.

Its a good job youre thinking about cashback because thats what set me and my friend (he started 12 months ago now doing about £200 a day) figured out was the secret sauce. Use honey and whatever other online cashback you've got over there too.

IMO the absolute best thing you can do is just start. Buy a udemy course or youtube it (my friend showed me everything so dont have any good resources sry). AVOID PRIVATE LABEL, for some reason every video i would click on before would be some chimp talking about selling kitchen utensils or some shit, ignore that go all in on RA/OA because fuck china.

I went for a shit and half typed this out so im giving a tldr because i forgot what I typed : 1) Most important thing is to just start, worry about literally everything else later but get yourself rolling and get the confidence that its working.

2) Go wide on product listings instead of trying to niche, i for some reason see loads of people trying to do niches but theres literally no reason to.

3) Be patient, lots of noobs undercut prices by like 5 pennies constantly, dont. Just share buy box price.

Thermal printer isnt needed can just do with a home printer and pre stuck a4 sheets of labels (google 44 up labels). Everything else you know. Packing tape and a tape gun makes things much easier, I use a chinese thermal printer but regret not getting one with bluetooth. Here in the UK you can get UPS to collect your packages daily and take them to FBA centre, I imagine you have the same option.

Phone doesnt matter just have a battery bank if youre gonna be doing lots of in store product sourcing. Again i advise just starting and figuring it out, if youre worried about capital loss on inventory dont be because worst case scenario you can return stuff to the store ykno. Oh and I never pay for boxes, just find some stores near you who throw them out and just ask. I use empty med supplies boxes from a care home and it saves them bin space.

At 200 per day approximately how much value of inventory does he have listed at any given time? $20,000? More or less? Either way its encouraging for sure.

Interesting I Ironically don't buy online much just a few reoccurring items I use like supplement etc so the Online Arbitrage aspect seems foreign to me. How are the margins so much different between Walmart and say Amazon? Wouldn't it be so competitive? I will have to make a Honey account and I saw my Capital One card basically has their own version of Honey as well I can sign up to get.

What percentage of goods would you say you source from Retail vs Online?

This makes sense otherwise I'm just missing out on profit.

>I like household and beauty products, people always need cleaning products etc and Stacey cant go without make up, grocery is good too.

These all seem good I bet turn over is ridiculously fast on all of them.

I'll look into that you are probably right.

I'll check for a Udemy course. I think I have the general process down its really at this point understanding how to navigate the Seller Central website and get everything streamlined

I didn't even think of that some degree its almost full proof depending on return policies haha

Any other tips or important information you might think of please feel free to drop I'm going to leave this thread open until it archives and probably copy paste your replies into a note pad for future use.

Thanks again man I'm sure you will hit over $200 per day at this rate

Pretty much said everything I've got, friends weekly spend on inventory is about 10k now and he still does all that through OA/RA. People are willing to pay silly prices for a lot of stuff just because of the Prime ecosystem i think.

I do a lot of online for my beauty stuff I usually look for 3 for 2 deals or buy one get one free etc. For example one of my listings costs 6.66 rn and sells at about 12.49 on amazon, RRP is 9.99 so 3 for 2 + 10% cashback gives me about 2.50 profit after fees. This item sells 1200 a month and has like 10 people on the listing so in theory that alone could be 300 a month. find a bunch of these and youre gaming.

Its amazing you are able to still profit by purchasing the item, shipping it to your home address, and then shipping it to Amazon's FBA center.

Are you often getting free shipping on the Online Arbitrage purchases?

Ebay top rated seller w over 700 100% feedback here.

Ebay fucks you over with fees and shipping costs are retarted. But there really isn’t a good alternative. Id stay far away from electronics cause i run into scammers feels like more than not.

Only reason im still here is cause my mom passed away and had so much stuff she was proud of, and while my dad just wanted to get rid of it, I knew she would want us to try to get what we could out of it.

It’s a ton of items. Thousands related to arts and crafts. Even though I didn’t buy the inventory, i was still surprised by the margins on a lot of this stuff. It’s a really small niche but full of old women which I never run into issues with them trying to scam or complain about stupid stuff. Rollo printer was worth investment for me. And i look for shelf deals on slickdeals to hold the inventory. Invested in a photobox for good pics and just use iPhone.

I enjoy the work but sales are so random that I could never make ot my full time job. Some days i see 1 or 2 sales. Some days its 20.

I did see a decent uptick when using 2% advertising fee, but that’s also more money lost.

I always include tracking info which means first class so thats always at least $3.75 on every sale. I’ve been trying to encourage buying multiple items at once to cut that down.

Yep, Amazon and Walmart don’t carry sold out shoes or old collectibles from 15 years ago. The absolute state of poorfags

Personal sales are exempt, if you're selling old cell phones and handbags for less than you bought them for, there's no profit and income being made to tax.

You now have to prove this to the IRS, though, which is of course a pain in the ass that sellers didn't have to deal with before the $600 rule went into effect.

Step aside, Jack. There’s a new NFT in town.

Imagine not accumulating these for .01 ETH. Only 4600 supply, one tenth of the Trump NFTs.

This isn't something I've sold, but something I've bought that I thought was interesting. Children's coloring books. The book seemed like it was printed on demand the day we ordered it.

Also one thing my wife buys a lot of is 3d printed cookie cutters. She has trouble finding the exact sizes and shapes she wants sometimes. If you sell them be very clear about the sizes.
