It's dropshippers. Not a big fan of thoose but they dont hyrt My biz
Try sell the cables locally if they are to hard to get rid of through ebay, personally i would sell them for a price that made me Some profit if the biz gets slow i just lower the price, sometimes i only earn a buck but get a valuable feedback instead

Not everbody but many sellers sell with +-0 profit just to get feedback, then they sell highrisk items with $$$ profit. Thoose who go the other way around often ends up with a ban

[rsot]

High risk items take a certain prowess with practice and experience

[albertldee]

hope one day I can make it with you big Guys selling big stuff but if I can sell 50 item a day at a buck profit i'm happy well comfortable

[rsot]

Never scoff at any profit - whatever brings you some joy and allows you to build/live...it counts

Get rich or die crying (lol)

But for real, each dollar is a good dollar

the higher you climb the more it will hurt when you fall, I never argue over a nickel to loose a dollar
