From Trash to Cash: the £100 to 10K Dribble thread

moneymabel

Thanks for all of the advice-dont really want to say what the items are just in case !! but they are second hand and are OH's specialist subject! The £10 example I gave had already had listing fees/final value etc accounted for so you were right Cally!
Luckily I have 5 days to consider it-I will email and ask aboiut the reserve I think-thanks all

Wayne - I'd done an image to illustrate better how light and dark t-shirt transfers work. It shows what the same design would look like with each transfer, done on a medium coloured t-shirt. Hope it helps.

Cheers, so basically if where the designs going is light, even if the t shirt is a dark colour you can use the light transfer paper.:beer:

HHH hope you don't mind some more constructive criticism. I think the site looks vry good, but the main but of text on the homepage, i think would look more professional if it was paragraphed out and used bullet points, eg.

"Welcome to KMF Products.

We specialise in wholesale and joblot items for reselling on ebay, carboots and markets, aiming to give low prices so you can maintain high profits.

We sell brand new and used clothing, all of which is accurately described to help you find what you need.

But all the same size, i don't know why it's all over the shop here. LOL

Anything which makes it easier for customers to see the important info quickly is a boon.

Thanks for doing this demo thats something i could put (but for my own needs!) in my sales page. Well worded and presented, however when you put free postage do you really make that back in making the product price slightly higher, has that is something that usually tempts me 'free postage'.:beer:

Lurker checking in! I'm still Ebaying stuff from around the house, I have quite a bit of stock from a failed venture a few years ago and it's so good to be clearing it all out and getting some money back from it all.
I'm also trying to decide on my next step, I've been looking at Etsy / Folksy as I knit, sew and generally craft but I'm trying to find something a little different that will stand out.

Ive got a Lapis Grey called Fonzie! coz someone at work said it looked like a Happy Days car!! If you really want to be jealous check out Grahams car Ting-tong on that site, it is stunning, he has all the rare accessories.

Have even been through the forums on Ebay to check the items I want to list but cannot find anything relevent, so have just emailed them. Hoping it wasn't somewhere really obvious as they are gonna think I am a thicko lol. If I get the answer I want though Gonna buy today If not back to the drawing board

Mabel - curiousity got the better of me! what can I say, I am a nosey parker!
found the item and had a little nosey at singles and pairs and looks like a good investment to me, will say this tho, they seems tho be a lot of competition for the lot, judging by the questions at the bottom, might mean there are quite a few waiting for last minute, would def work out a max price and stick to it.

Don't worry tho, lips are sealed and not something I would buy, but if he knows his stuff, go for it, just be carefull he doesn't pilfer all the good ones!

Test the water with the reserve, put a small increase on the bid, reserves are usually in £25 increments, price shouldn't jump up unless you hit the reserve or someone elses high bid.
