Car boot / ebay product

No idea if this is the place for this. I have a large quantity of a unique, novelty stock that I am looking to wholesale. It would be perfect for car boot sales. There is only one UK seller on ebay with this item also, so it may be another sales option. Would anyone know of a wholesale avenue I could go down with this?

  • It's a bit hard to advise you if you don't say the product, but obviously you don't want to say in case someone nicks your idea, dilemma confused.gif
  • Fair point. If you type Hand Boiler in Youtube, you will see the product in action. First link is best - steve spangler science, let me know what you think ?

    They don't seem to be a huge seller on ebay, 3 sold in completed listings. Maybe they're better sold where people can see them.
  • They are sold under the name Love Meter on Ebay. Yes, sales when they can be used and seen working are very different.

    Can you sell them at a good profit on ebay after all the fees & your tax have been paid?
    If so I'd put them on ebay individually.
  • They are up on Ebay at £4.95, I was ideally looking to wholesale them at .80p per unit.

    It's against forum policy to buy or sell in here.

    Is this ex-Tobar stock?
    I use one of my ebay ID's to sell this range of stuff from September through to January, as it doesn't seem to shift at any other time of the year, but the 3 months worth of sales is sufficient to keeping the stock in storage for the 9 months.

    If you can afford to sit on it for a few months, you should be able to retail it out for a far higher margin than wholesaling it.
