so i've been part time selling for a while now just making some extra $$ for some bills, each month i've slowly been giving it more and more time.
I tested a new product in another section and had success, so i tested a little more and more each week till I realized i might be onto something now... well its got to the point were its going good and I can't stop, IM HOOKED!
the big fish in the pond are all BINs with a handful of auctions to feed some action, they are all moving 800+ items a month.
the smaller fish are moving 400 with a mixed of new and used.
im moving around 100 just getting started.
Im all auction 100%, i have better prices then the big fish, and my shipping charges are better.
My BINs suck, i can't get any traction with BINs untill i have 100+ .
These items aren't exactly cheap enough to be purchasing 100++ listing, then hoping it works.
The big guys seems to be able to slap whatever mostly sane price on their stuff, with an over priced shipping charge and boom, good to go.
so my game is fast turnover with smaller profits.
I make a some on the item, i make some on the shipping, and move move move.
my problem is I start ramping up more and more items, and it seems my bids will dilute across my items......and i'll have a soft to sucky sales day well i should say profit day.
This confuses me as, there can't be anyway little old me can dilute myself in a bowl so big... right?
i've also found some days of the week are totally sucking... Friday / Sat / Sun... again
Im either ramping up and hitting total random acts, or something is up... cause i'll hit some bumps, scale back a little, and it evens out.
I DON'T WANT TO SCALE BACK, I feel like im right around the edge of running a 24/7 operation of awesome. I understand playing the auction game you'll have some wins and draws but this is werid.
AGH!
