Re: ebay business/course

It appears to me that it would not be "kosher" to go and name any other ebooks/courses about ebay selling seeing how this is how Maw makes money to put food on the table. Sorry.

I never bought tens or hundreds of thousands of name brand products. I'm not rich enough. But I do know that you have to buy this much (and on a regular basis) to get a somewhat decent wholesale "price" on name brand products. To me, buying and selling hard goods is not the way to go to make money unless you are good at finding niche markets that will pay a little more than they could pay at walmart or like stores. The vast majority of people (especially on ebay are looking for the lowest price. This won't make you any money. They also happen to be the ones that need a higher level of customer service and support as well. IOW, they want everything for nothing or practically nothing. They just are not the people to deal with if you need to make any money. They just don't understand (or care) that the less you pay for an item the less customer service/support you get with that purchase. The price just does not afford the seller to include such things. This is why I just stopped selling hard goods altogether. It's just a pain in the butt, to be honest with you. I don't know about you but making only a couple bux on an item you paid hundreds of dollars for at wholesale is not what I call "making money". That's why now I am looking into making money with affiliate programs and services like adsense. Can't say I will make a dime with it, but then I didn't make anything worth mentioning when I was retiling physical goods. I sold a lot of items, but made very little net profit, if any.

And like I said before, the best wholesale prices come with no-name products produced in China, but you have to watch that. Many such products are very poorly built, and that is why they are so cheap to buy at wholesale. You can contract with the manufacturers to build the product with better quality but then it will also cost you more per unit and you have to buy by the container load.

I have wasted many years trying to make money on physical goods. It just never worked out for me. Not my thing I guess.
