Just Curious $$$$

I was wondering what most people are making going stealth? Im sure alot of you wont reply...but I know a guy who is making 30k plus per month with stealth accounts ..... thats awesome hoping to be his buddy

I doubt youll get any answers.
I find that what one will make is directly proportional to the amount of time theyll put into it. Time is money - especially when it comes to this type of business.

Slokor is right. Some people probably make a couple of hundred a month and others may pull in thousands, or even tens of thousands. It all depends on how much time and effort you put into it, how good your decisions are regarding purchasing merchandise for resale and even a little bit of luck, fate or whatever you want to call it, thrown in for good measure.

So trying to figure out how much you can make by basing that on others is not really going to work out too well. Some of us work 7 days a week and are always thinking about business 24/7. Some of us only want to work a couple of hours a day for a little extra cash. Everybody is different.

Stealth is not a get-rich-quick scheme where there is some secret formula to making lots of money fast. It IS a way to make money, but as with anything else, what you put into is is what you will pull out of it. If you think you are going to work 1 hour a day on your listings and spend the rest of the day planning which Ferrari you are going to buy, then you will most likely fail. But if you are willing to work hard and smart, you CAN make some decent money.

got it thanks

It depends on what you're selling, if you find hot selling products then you can make some serious money, especially counterfeits(not that I recommend this), I recall a guy who bought an account off me and generated £10000 sale within 2 months and made about £4000 easily, just it home account but he did receive a lot of negatives so he bought a few more.

I average over six figures a year. I'd do better if I didn't have things non-work related in my way.

Tell me about it! Between the kids and the cats, it is a miracle I am not on public assistance!

Some of us are NETing hundreds of thousands a month and some of us are hardly selling anything. I say NET because I would have no idea what someone else profit margin is.

If you run stealth like a BUSINESS that is should be and you are resourceful you can do really well. Same as any other ebay/amazon business.

Yankee makes hundreds of thousands I'm pretty sure...hehe

You don't have to act like a real business but if you conduct yourself as such, you are already miles ahead of majority of sellers on eBay.

MOST buyers are extremely impressed when you act like a real "business". Once you add a EIN on your paypal you are anyways but alot of sellers act very casual in messages and just in general while selling on eBay.

If you take this 100% serious you can easily separate yourself from the competition.

You really think you are going to interrogate someone asking them how much money they make? You're starting to sound like the IRS lol

Im not going to disclose how much I make but I do exceptionally well.

The amount of money someone will make selling on Ebay will come down to their dexterity, ambition, relentlessness, capital, dedication, devotion, sourcing goods, expertise running stealth accounts, coping stress, mitigating risk, and luck.

You can get out of Ebay what you put into it.

I've had pretty good luck with casual. When you are a real business, they don't give you as much slack. You go from being their buddy, to being " the man". And no one likes " the man".

Yup!

Best to be both and that is where multiple small stealths rock! A LOT of people dont want to buy from big business or anything that seems like that.

I can say fro experience that Family Business can be a great line to the top or bottom of a description, but you certainly better act and operate like one
