I think there is a Canadian company that was licensed by Hostess to make Twinkies and they were not impacted by the strike. Might be able to get hooked up that way.

i buy packs of 3-4 or 5 items for a quid

split then and sell them for a 99p and 99p s and h

good for getting feedback up high too

Yeah but...... what if the person scams you out of your money? Or you can't find someone to rely on out there? + shipping and even maybe + duty tax at customs. Not to mention the time and research + Western Union payment? After those fees I would say $200+ still k .20 cents but... like I said scams are out there. I don't think any of them would deal with you just for $10 either.

This is for people who have no money just $2 to start.

China I really don't trust that much at all.

If word gets out they will be made in bulk again the bottom will drop out like a rock.

Remember one of the main rules of marketing.

Get and have a product that people dont think they can get again, the gotta have it idea.

I have seen people fighting over boxes at the 7-11.

Once and if they do make them again, it will be a forgotten matter and no money would be made.

Ever tried deep fried twinkies?

Jump on the bandwagon, make your money and jump off.

Timing is everything.

quid = a buck ...so to speak.

I do some thing similar.

I buy items for $1 from china and sell them for $5.

I've been doing it for years.

Yes, it's called Scarcity tactic. Works very well and youu can charge Premium prices.

Special Cars such as Corvette Special Edition, etc... command more Buyers than cars available. You will also pay the dealer higher than sticker price. You may also be on a waiting list.

You can re-release a Limited product again but normally the supply is smaller and a very limited time to buy.

I spent most of the afternoon at Big Lots. I bought a pallet of discontinued items from a company.

People, items are out there you just have to be out and about.

Like I was told as a young kid learning the antiques business if you learn something, you should never forget it, all you need to do is know where to buy it and where to sell it.

I bought an item at a Goodwill store on my way back today is probably one of the best antique items I have had in my hands in a long time.

Early 1900s item for 4.99 that should return 300-500 if not more. Researching right now because I have that pit in my stomach about it.

I usually sell the cd's, dvd's and psp movies from the dollar store as long as they're in ebay's product catalog, not to make a profit though I use them to start my account off or cover up a neg.

[GhostWhoWalks]

I like to sell stuff I can fit a lot in a plastic mailers I sell. And that don't weight much either like 2 to 3 oz. I do free S&H on top of it. And my source is unlimited and these items have been hot for over 10 years and will always be HOT for the next 10 years. Once I set up my account again. I'll get a 2nd one working and start doing websites, and see if anyone comes to buy without doing ads online or anything like that really. My friend can do my SEO for my websites he said. I plan on having over 150 websites.

I've seen sellers doing very good on ebay one seller made a good $80k in one month on his one account. Back in 2003 I noticed one seller had websites and they all registered to him as I did a check on it. The guy had 5 accounts and 6 websites and earning $20k a month this is why I got into this ebay thing and the same product but it took me a year to figure out how to get it. And I spent countless hours.

RESEARCH IS THE KEY! Time is the key, being smart helps play a roll. Having a bit of money also helps!

I started playing this game on facebook and earning $20 to $110 a PER DAY! Selling the items I won in a game to other players. I used up that money to start with products from the UK. I worked in a hotel at night so I invested my time into service = $$$$ So I used that money to buy stuff out of the UK to try it out to see if it works whats 200 British pounds? NOTHING! So after a few months of seeing sales doing good I invested $2.5k (I could of waited to save up this money but I said screw it time is money so to speed up the process I invested my own money, got it back within 2 months) into the states and I have so many friends there who do my shipping if needed but I always got one person doing it.

Each person has it's own thing and sees the money. I use to want to sell laptops but to find laptop and keep up with doing newer auctions and so on takes time and sure you sell it for $1k and you get 10 to 20% profits and you need to buy a lot like $10k worth of laptops to get a good deal but this was in 2003 when I use to be into this but not anymore. If one buyer claims that he didn't get it and wants to scam you, you just lost the next 10 sales cause of them.

Sell stuff that's very cheap, high profits, low on shipping costs, I do the buy 2 get 3rd one free, deals. People buy it for them, and gifts for others it's the best thing to do.

Do post an update! And you are welcome!

I just told one of my friends in the states and showed him this link to here so he can start also.

We always laugh cause I can sell anything and make it look worth that amount!

[Bunneh]

Awesome advice OP!!
I see you can buy online from the dollar tree

AND

They accept paypal!!!!
(although i wont be using paypal lol...)

[GhostWhoWalks]

Also something I didn't mention is, you get easy fast feedback out of the deal also.

You welcome Bunneh.

So it's really a win win for sellers, earn money + fb. )

[GhostWhoWalks]

TRIPLE??? Man I use to sell that stuff no less then $5 to $7! You can get more but who knows!

[Sandy D]

I have sold many things from the dollar stores for more then triple.

I have done fantastic making money and building new accounts from the dollar stores.

[Bunneh]
