    there was a thread yesterday, out of interest I did look at some ebay sellers who obviously buy in bulk.. its a competitive market .. one lady had good prices, free P+P, no quibble returns ( even paid for return postage!)

    I bought bulk equestrian equipment from the wholesaler and sold individualyy and in small bulk. I made quite as lot in the first 2 weeks, then people caught on and suddenly lots of other people were doing the same thing.
    I think this will probably apply to most categories. If you are on to a good thing, people notice!

    Sell what you have most knowledge in and can source without too much work. If you start randomly wandering into any market and selling products you have no knowledge of you will quickly lose money.

    An expert seller can offer a better service than an ignorant one, can source the best quality product in their field and know what sells.
