There's an Anon who sells glass dildos he buys from China, I don't know how profitable that is though. Another sells some sort of sexy anine type of item to weebs on ebay with sone anime profile pic that supposedly boosts his sales.

Another sells knitted products on etsy that he gets from China.

I don't know how viable these are but if you can clear 10k a year after taxes and ecommerce fees then that's better than nothing.

This past month I inquired Chinese suppliers for Magic the Gathering cards. I found 2 suppliers that are sending me cards. My plan is to re-sell them on craigslist/ebay/trade them in the store.

Where the hell do you live? last time I checked most dual lands were worth 10 $ more or less. I mean I play MTG and own several of them myself.

But regarding the rest of the post I got to admit I considered the same thing myself when looking around for a cheap way to get a second copy of a 60$ card I found in a booster pack and then realizing a counterfeit one from china would cost only 2-3 bucks.

The answer to the question is, fake Lego minifigures. Especially the Marvel/DC ones and some of the rare Star Wars ones.

Real fans obsess about the differences between real and fake ones (look at some of the threads on Lego fansites) but some of the fakes are so good that normal people wouldn't be able to spot them if they just want them for their kids to play with.

However, doing this would make you a bad person and you would probably get a horse's head in your bed from the Lego company.

Started fucking around on Ali-baba, I'm starting to form ideas about selling small, cute looking items that wealthy college girls are happy to overpay for. I'm thinking about small items that have a use, like usb sticks shaped like animals, wristbands, stickers, key chains, factory made "crafts", phone cases, and various items with my college's logo on it. (I know I won't have a license to sell items with the universities logo, but I'll be small enough so that they won't notice).

I'm thinking about selling around campus but I don't know how I can set up a spot because I definitely won't be allowed. I could also sell on my college's craigslist group on facebook and outside of college sporting events.

I'm thinking out loud here obviously. I guess I have two questions:

1. How can I sell stuff to my fellow college students in person as close to campus as possible without getting told to stop by my university? I'd like to just set up a folding table with all my crap on it. Maybe just off of campus, I'm not sure what the law is on selling on sidewalks or parking lots and if so, they're actually enforced.

2. Cheapest shipping methods from mainland china for small items that don't take up much space or weigh a lot.

I KNOW there's a market for this stuff, I always see these girls throwing daddy's money around. And I've noticed how much they'll pay for "cute" items when they're with their friends, they all fawn over an owl shaped phone case and then all four friends will drop $10 on one without a second thought. I just need to figure out how to sell stuff in areas near campus with heavy foot traffic without being shut down.

>> No.748298

>>748194
Use a facebook account to sell.
A friend used to do that. He would offer his stuff through facebook, contact as many people as possible and then deliver the items throughout the week around campus.

Give some samples to people you know and tell them to show them every occasion they have so that when people ask them where they got them they can point them in your direction

I have a friend that tried to get into selling cheap, Chinese shit on eBay, amazon, and other market places.

Getting off the ground was a nonstarter since his competition would constantly report the shit out of his accounts. The established accounts that also sold knockoff junk had too much feedback and or positive puppets to counter.

Heres a protip: When purchasing chinese stuff to sell, specially for amazon.. You create your own brand & purchase a UPC code.. Quick example: microfiber towels (big seller on amazon) but you couldnt get into it by selling the same exact product unless you want tiny margins.. Instead you buy bulk microfiber towels all different colors, next, come up with a brand name, and then go to fiverrr and pick 5+ different artists to make you a logo for $5 [you can also go to 99design and buy a $99 logo] buy a upc code (this will let you post your towels independently from others)

now you come up with a package, (this can be outsourced on alibaba as well) package those suckers up, and post.. You can go higher price then others and use words like "premium" "luxury" etc.. Now getting some reviews, have friends/family/pay people to review it, get a good amount then you should start getting organic sales..
BONUS: set up a website for your new company and expand, if it was microfiber towels for cars, now you can sell squeegees, soap, wax, polish under your logo and brand name.) set up a shop on your website and sell there using ads on facebook/google... Send freebies to people with exposure in the industry..i chose microfiber towels because of the markup, you could double your money every sale AFTER your branding/packaging and shippinng would be cheap..

Oh yeah don't bother with electronics.. Theyre usually junk/scammers.. Wooden sunglasses would have been a huge niche 2-3 years ago.. Too bad i was too busy at the time.. Was going to buy just the frames and then custom stain/paint/lenses myself on a customer by customer basis.. Plus i was going to do special "limited edition" runs of them.. Too late now, schwood and a bunch of other companies have wood sunglasses on lockdown.. Unless you had a killer idea and $$$ to break into the niche i wouldn't bother..

If you can't figure out that by yourself just don't bother. We both know you won't be doing anything unless they hand it to you all chewed.

Fucking hell, stop going to /biz/ expecting for people to tell you every single step to make money. You have the idea: import and resell. You know it fucking works for many. Do you think we just sit and ask what fucking color and size should we order our products for people to like it? Do your research and take action. Do you think someone's gonna say 'here anon, just buy this exact item at this amount to this supplier and sell it at this price through this account right here. Here's all the details for your listing and what to do on the way. Oh, and here, some money to buy the supplies. You didn't really think you'd risk any of your own money, did you?'

I got a product right now that sells like hot cakes. Thing is, I don't even have to buy this item from china. I get 10 for $50 and then I sell each one individually for $15 on eBay. 10 usually sell out within a week or so. Lightweight so shipping and fees are usually no more than $4.

I also buy gunparts on gunbroker and resell them on eBay. You can get certain parts cheaper on gunbroker and mark them up for a premium on eBay. Lots of people do this so I don't feel bad talking about it, but you need to know about that shit so you don't get burned.

If there are any brazilfags here (like me), try buying basic gym equipment like dumbbells, water bottles, training gloves and that kind of stuff.

You are almost guaranteed to sell them, and for a good price too, sweetspot for me is at rubber dumbbells, you get them cheaper and for some reason fitfags like them better than the iron ones, aluminium bottles sell great too, people like shiny stuff and they are cheap as fuck.

There is one piece of equipment that gives the best profit though, but you'll have to figure that out for yourselves.

alright, this is about to get really gross

the rectum doesn't have an actual "end," unlike the vagina.

vaginas typically are 4-6 inches deep, and the cervix blocks off the other end.

there's an opening in the cervix, yes, but it's an exit. it only opens to push stuff out, like eggs, the uterine lining, and babies. don't let your chinese cartoons fool you- nobody actually likes stuff ramming into the cervix at mach 9. that sucks.

the vagina can widen or "loosen" dramatically and go back to it's original size, but that once again is for making and pushing out babies, so everything going in and out needs to be very smooth or it risks tearing the flesh. furthermore, the vagina can only expand slowly- go to fast, and it rips. that's actually why a hymen "pops." it's just a little flap that gets all ripped up when people rush. there are ways to have sex without doing that, fyi.

>>770788
don't fall for the /r9k/ meme, anon. roasties aren't caused by that, it's unrelated.
bad dragon dildoes tend to have bad textures, like the tentacle one, that catch on the vagina and tear it. other ones have a knot or flare that's to sudden and mess up the vagina when they're pushed it. the designs also are geared more towards the prostate than g-spot, and come in sizes that are simply too big to fit.

since anuses can stretch a lot more with training, and don't have an end (they just lead to the intestines/colon), bad dragon dildoes work in them.

I mean I know it's a competitor/troll that kept calling eBay till they got an Indian rep who didn't understand what the hell they were looking at to take them down.

Anyways, going about the Rsims...
I was the only one selling the Sim cards with 100% feedback. Used it as a marketing advantage to say that my version worked 100%.

Now mind you I get 11-15 negative feedbacks for this item a month. But the way I talk to eBay/the way I describe it makes it impossible for someone to leave a negative feedback and for it to remain.

The only revised feedback I have on my account is for when I sold something I thought I would be getting, turned out the two sellers I bought from didn't have it.

Seems to me the only actual issue is that you labeled them as "iPhone" or what ever, which since it's not an Ishit, it's then counterfeit as it never in it's life was an Iphone. Remove any brand name and logos and you would be good to go. Report the other seller as they are in violation as well. I don't see ebay allowing it just because the other guy does it, rather they will just ban both. Losing the keywords though will definetly kill your positioning, just have to think of more creative ways to market it. Maybe in the description you could say "this product is often used as a display for popular phones like iPhone or Samsung S3 etc."

I have actually been looking into doing this for a bit, now kind of discouraged. Trademark laws are really something stupid in this country.

I mean yes but then again no one would be able to find the item if I didn't put it as iPhone. I was thinking of putting EyePhone the 3rd time, then I realized that wouldn't be very smart.

>What is rsim
They are unlock cards, sell pretty well. Used to sell them on my other account and my feedbacks grew fast, so I moved them to this acc.

Only problem with selling these is that some buyer's are very..very stupid, they don't know what they are buying and expect you to sit there and help them out. I put in my listing I won't be helping anyone, this is mostly why I win every case about this item.

There really is not point selling them now since I came back to selling them, I've taken the price all the way to the lowest possible. I'm only making cents, but it's worth it knowing my competitors aren't selling as much and I'm going back up to the 3 digit in "sold".

My Chinese guy sends them to me and I pay him Western when it's sold (crazy right). I'm paying less than everyone else, so I still profit.

Some of the transparent ones go for 50cent a piece on alibaba so even if I sell them for 2$ on eBay, I'll still make a profit.
So is this a good idea or is the market oversaturated with phone cases anyway? How hard is it to start on a fresh account without any ratings?

Another idea of mine is buying more premium cases such as golden or aluminium ones for 5$ on alibaba and selling them for 10+$, marketing them as premium and high quality and shit. I mean apple consumers love expensive shit...

Your shipping is already reduced with Commercial Price + with USPS

You plan on shipping without tracking (bad) "I didn't get it, can you send another?" -Buyer + You'd never be Top Rated because your seller performance needs tracking on every item, every case about the item would be won in the buyer's favor.

You are selling a new version of iPhone/Android/Etc cases (like when the i6 came out, there were only 10-30 case sellers).

This isn't an eBay thread so I don't really want to go into it

Just look at pic related and tell me how you would profit after eBay Fees (10%)/Paypal Fees(2.9%+ .30c)/Tax/Shipping

My guy started trusting me after 2-3 purchases ($1500+), after that I just randomly asked "Hey, lol why don't you just continue sending to me and I'll pay Western when it sells?" Sent him a link of an urban news report some news channel did of me back in high school sophomore year three years ago, where I talked about how I wanted to be "an entrepreneur" or some shit. lol I didn't think it would work, but after that he's been sending over and over.

Only annoying thing now is Western Union, he's the only guy I send money to, yet they keep messing up his name after I say it 10 times over the phone.

Visa is basically just buying from his store directly, wouldn't benefit him in anyway so we use WU. The site his store is on charges like 10% in fees, so he's avoiding it doing it this way. I don't mind the fees, it's taken care of in the sales.

So, why can't you just reinvest the profit you get from selling the stuff back into getting even more stuff to increase your inventory? Like, start small, then slowly increase the amount you sell over time so you eventually end up with decent profits.

I would like to try this, and that's what I was thinking of doing, but I don't want to have to take out a loan for it. Plus, I think that's how the guy in this >>741469 article did it.

Been reinvesting, it's just that I have living expenses as well. Taking a loan out for something you don't know (say a new product you made) doesn't make sense, but taking out a loan for something you know sells and is already made but just needs to be mailed to you is something else.

My list goes on and on, yet I can only pick out the small things...it will take some time. This is why a loan would help me skip all that time.

I only started all of this with like $150 I won from a school competition.

Exactly, think you've also heard that eBay started featuring their items in front of every search result while everyone is set to "Best Offer".

How can the Best Offer be the guy that mails to you a whole month later and doesn't even understand 1/2 your language?

Amazon hasn't failed us yet, Amazon really is the only place to be right now, it has everything you need..everything.

>Mfw I just found out Amazon tried buying USPS to save it from losing 1B a year, but the Govt. denied the 70B+ pay because they didn't want a private company owning USPS (seeing Amazon would profit so much/being able to deliver your packages sooner/get rid of the slobs at the post office by offering giant drop off boxes/delivering your latte with your mail).

I don't know much on Amazon bro, lol imo I think it's for new/used, not vintage (if I'm getting you correctly). But if you do have alot of stuff, you can just send it all to them to sell for you. eBay tried copying with their shitty wannabe FBA "Valet" thing that still fails till today (pic related).

All I know is that if you mention your "eBay Store" on a site talking about something you sell, most people will turn away knowing how horrible eBay is setup for both buyers/mostly sellers.

But when you say Amazon, everyone knows it's simply click/buy/ship and even CANCEL WHEN THE SELLER HASN'T SHIPPED YET (or return the item and not have to hurt the seller's account doing so, making the seller more happy to accept any return).

I haven't used Amazon to sell in years because it's too easy to get buried in the "other sellers" section. The vast majority of people look at the price on the item page and either buy or don't instead of viewing the other offers. The default offer is typically sold by amazon itself and they are tough to beat on price and shipping., and generally have their shit together. On top of that, Amazon operates at a loss and doesn't give a fuck. It's probably better for someone selling their own unique product to use them as a storefront than for me to make a few dollars here and there on some dumb chinese shit everyone sells.


Ebay is an absolute shitshow getting by on name recognition. I build and modify guitars and I have considered quitting because of the sheer amount of human scum trying to scam sellers. It's hilarious how much "protection" the buyers are offered where sellers get basically none. It's like the principal's office in elementary school, he said-she said bullshit. Buyers are constantly taken at their word with no proof that item was not as described or damaged or whatever bullshit they want to claim to get their money back and keep the item so they can sell it themselves. I had a guy try to claim that the vintage guitar he bought from me was damaged (he never could explain what was wrong with it) because it wasn't "packaged correctly". I gave him multiple opportunities to send me a photo or contact UPS and he did absolutely nothing but complain. "I'm taking it to my guitar guy, hopefully it will not cost much to fix." He implied he would be in contact with me to demand some sort of refund and as soon as the money cleared in Paypal I closed the ebay and paypal accounts.

>but isn't anything worth selling branded?

Depends on the product. If you're selling something where brand matters to the extent that an unbranded item won't get purchased, china won't be much help unless you're counterfeiting the brand. I doubt, though I may be wrong, that trying to sell an unbranded iPhone ripoff/alternative would be worth it. Electronics is very brand/model driven. BUT there is a huge market of phone accessories of varying quality that people will gladly buy without a second though. Convenience stores realized this and put chinese-made smartphone cables and chargers at cash registers.

With things like instruments which is where I specialize, many many people are looking for usefulness instead of collectible value. So i have made many custom/modified gibson/fender models that are based on the branded ones, Only much more worth the money because i have improved/altered the standard models. In many cases there are no actual original parts, It's the shape that decides what type of guitar it's considered. Very few people are doing custom high quality mid-priced guitars which is why I got into it as a business. I can make a Telecaster look and sound pretty much however I want, and for musicians that's the most important thing. The high-end market is for collectors, period. It's all about resale value. Unless I make something truly unique it will probably not resale for a profit without further modifications/improvements, so I don't make or market anything towards collectors.

>> No.781604

>>781590

I know this is already tldr but I forgot to mention that LOTS of people try the "buy counterfeit guitar from china and sell as legit on ebay" model and it's just impractical for legal reasons and because the profit margin is only there if you are counterfeiting it, and like I mentioned before, the guitar factories are simply bypassing the middlemen and selling on legit marketplaces themselves. So basically the "chinese guys doing all the work for you" model isn't really a viable option unless you are the manufacturer and seller. I honestly can't think of anything the chinese manufacturers are making that they aren't also selling for cheaper than you ever could online.

It's not about branded vs unbranded as much as it's about counterfeit vs legitimate. You can sell branded items all day as long as they aren't fake. The problem you run into is that the name brand stuff will typically be unavailable or more expensive on Alibaba than just buying it domestically, and the Chinese guys will be selling it here too, so obviously you should buy the unbranded ones and sell them here for a lower price than the branded version, right? Nope, because the Chinese guys are already doing that too, usually at a price that wouldn't be profitable for you.

And yes, storage/shipping is a pain in the ass if you are selling a ton of little shitty items which is the main reason I don't fuck with any of that nowadays.
