    She didn’t want you to sell them because she wanted to keep them all for herself.:p

    You know how ladies like a good rabbit.;)

    Hi,

    Funny enough, I used to do this myself!

    What brought me into the 'adult' market was the mark-up was incredible, often 1000% profit on some items!! :j

    I had a set of catalogues and I literaly sold to freinds and family - I was in the army at the time, so this was easier to do than it sounds!

    Shortly after the birth of our first child, the wife opened a cupboard and a load of very 'dubious' objects fell out - and that was it.

    She said there was no way the father of her children was going to make money selling such items - and so I was closed down :(

    Ho hum - never mind, it left time for me to get on with the arms dealing and drug running.

    All the best

    I used to do this, as said here the markup can be quite huge, even though I was buying retail at the time, lord if my teachers knew I was doing this instead of revising - well that was then.

    I lost quite a few of the links to the sites I used to use, I even had the login details to a directory of wholesalers which allowed you to buy one item at a time (I'm very dubious about buying anything in bulk for resale in case it doesn't), but moving computers, etc now I can't find them again.

    If anyone does have recommendations I'd be grateful. The whole adult market has a stigma about it, but then again I think that's what makes it so profitable - not to mention enjoyable - and no, I've never succomed to the temptation to test the products, just to ensure their high quality and that they're free of defect, you understand :D

  • Not that I have any firsthand experience you understand, but I do happen to know that women's soiled underwear sells particularly well (dunno why :confused: ) and if you can accompany said item with pics of a female wearing them or even better, a video, you will make an absolute mint.

    In fact, the profits are that attractive that it had crossed my mind to buy some ladies lingerie myself, wear it for a couple of days to get the "soiled effect" :p , nick some pics off the net of some chick wearing similar and then sell the lot! :D I'm just too worried that I might actually enjoy wearing them :eek: and turn into some bizarre panty fetish freak!

    Maybe one of you guys could try it out and let me know if it's a winner! :rotfl:

    Why not?! You might be missing the point though. A lot of people are very reserved about things sex/sexual related hence why they prefer to buy online or mail order as they're not having to deal face to face.

    Not the best mental picture for first thing Saturday morning is it! :DBut, if there's money to be made, why not! :rotfl:

    Being a Yorkshireman through and through, whenever there's money up for grabs it's not usually too difficult to talk me into stuff I'd don't particularly want to do in order to get it! :D
