Twiglet, Hi

Wholesale companies are hard, and we've had this question quite a few times and agreed that there isn't a real answer. What kind of thing do you like? It'll help to have an interest in what you want to sell. Then watch it on Ebay, Amazon etc for a while and see if sales are consistent, and at what price, and then look to see if you can find it for a price that means you'd make a profit. Remember to factor in fees.

Hope that helps a little?

Edit: Your right, Mambury. Its just hard coming to terms with it...what if I can never do anything with my life? I feel like I'm sitting and waiting for something that isn't ever going to come...Anyway, OH has run me a bath now, so I'm going to relax for half an hour (or try too!) and then I shall be back to annoy you all some more.

Thanks Saucysecrets and elly, I think my main problem is having the confidence to think that I can do it and to spend out the money in the first place. Have had a look on the first page and got a few ideas so will keep thinking some more and also see how you are all doing as well, need the motivation, lol

Twiglet - spend only a little bit to begin with until you get into the way of it, and get a feel for what you want to deal in. Wooden toys can be expensive to source and there may not be a good mark up - do you intend reselling on ebay or do you have an other idea? check out completed listings in ebay for the selling prices.

Right,

Had a bit of a self destructive weekend helpingother people out.... Spent all of yesterday helping a mate make his car safe - ratehr than working on my project which is needed back on the road at the end of hte month.

I managed to steel 30 minutes to test hte basic systems on the car - which now all work - but it still needs 2 days work to complete it and 4 tyres...

Thank you for the nice welcome.

Skintbint thannk you for your advice, I have a feeling wooden toys are probably going to be heavy to post as well so not looking such a good idea. I am planning to resell on ebay, so I know I have to be pretty careful with the fees.
