    Well ive thought of something i could sell worldwide!. Been a sheffielder theres one thing thats exclusive here, and thats good old hendos relish!. Some people out of sheffield hate it, but for any expats and people who just like it, it could be a something a bit rarer to sell!, whats your views?:D

    Hi-all-someone said the other day about selling Angel Delight on ebay to ex-pats so their must be a market for it! Give it a go wayne-if it doesnt sell you can eat it!

    I've sorted out the photo issue-now I'm trying to do the wording for the back of the cards-can I have some advice please? This is what I've done so far..

    Sounds good moneymabel.

    I've spent the afternoon ringing around the competition, to pick up prices, marketing strategies, gaps in the market etc, etc.

    Was dreading doing it, but it's been a real eye opener. Lots to think about.

    I've also signed up for two, free cashback offers, so that's £4.10 in the pot.

    I'm working my way through the list Hales!

    Edit - I like Cally's version even better :p.

    Costs about £1-£1.10 in shops, so suppose could make £1 profit per bottle sold, but id need the packaging. It was a thought, im want to try it!:eek::D

    Good thinking wayne. You could start listing all kinds of things to see if they'd sell. Reducing postage for purchases of more than one item. Marmite, branston pickle, angel delight, Heinz tomato sauce and salad cream, obviously better if they had plastic containers. Very little outlay too... Worth a punt.

    I agree it is worth it, as I personally know how exspensive it is to order the things that I really miss from abroad and the websites designed for ex pats on either side of the water are really expensive. heheh I am just glad that I have a friend in the States who sends me a small care package every 3-4 months lol

    Wayne if you can get to a wholesale shop it will prob be cheaper than buying the products straight off the normal shops shelves
