But you have to make sure your products meet their requirements. They don't accept labeled products, any labeled products will be destroyed or returned back.

There are really a lot of them, you can google it. Most of them are based in CA.

Nice mobile setup.

you still make a decent profit off this? i would figure after handling costs you would only make 2 to 4$ profit on a item.

I make at least 100% profit on an item, usually it's 200%. You don't need the labels, if you find the right product.

Great info guys, it just goes to show how completely different some people are in how the operate their business.

It also is fascinating to read the hard work most put into keeping they're business alive and the money coming in.

Thanks for the insight.

Man, we all sound similar in certain aspects. As for myself, the following is the general time line of a business day.

1. Wake around noon or a bit after
2. Check orders
3. Pull product and pre-package
4. Accounting and process orders
5. Mail run (depends on priority size and cut-off time)
6. Every day or so, countdown inventory to ensure levels.
7. Order/ financials to see where I am at for the month
8. Check competitors/ market research (for fun)
9. Foot sales for the next day from word-of-mouth

The things that bothers me the most, is when a friend or someone on the street doesn't think that you "work" because it is online. They fail to realize you probably work more hours than them, it is just mental work hours.

I am honestly a business nerd and an Accountant. I love being extremely efficient. I tend to set goals that are obtainable, and a baseline that is obtainable. Not because I want to be an oxymoron, but because I want to always fail to succeed.

Perhaps you give that impression because you get out of bed at midday.
