So if there a few on ebay... if they are popular, wont alot of people be bidding on them? and the price should be about £50-£60? If not, do you have buyers? Is the guy in the shopping centre just ripping people off?

Just start of with say 10 items and see how it goes don't worry to much that there's not many on ebay thats a good think , if you don't have a go you'll wish you had , everyone wants something thats niche , so go and get some bought & sold.

hey nalibz whats your eBay id?

The reason I ask I sold something that weighed 16kg and cost £8.81 to courier, now if I have to have it collected for replacement it cost another £8.81 plus the cost of sending a replacement at another £8.81 so your £25 can soon be gone if you are not careful.

The other thing is impoerting heavy items to the UK can very very expensive.

When you get a weight have a look here US Postal Service Int

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I see

So there's only one seller of these things on ebay in the UK. Well, if his/her stuff is selling well, I would go for it. Just work out exactly how much it'll cost you to buy a pallet with shipping, customs and all the other boring stuff that's added on. If you can afford to wait for sales (I only say that in case your sales take a while to pick up) then what are you waiting for? :T :T :T

I'm not sure if thats a serious question but firstly i can't be giving out my details because i don't want to give my idea away!

and secondly it might be seen as advertising!!

I don't have buyers no, but its quite a desirable product and i cant imagine having much problem selling at least 100 of them!:)

Other thing to remember is the UK seller is not going to like it. If it was me and demand was not huge I would cut prices until I squeezed you out again or you squeezed me out. So be prepared for a fight.
