Well done that guy, ok he sells some stuff that's a bit low value, but he's obviously successful, more power to his elbow I say.
I've just bought a couple of retractable USB charge leads off eBay for the total grand sum of £5.00 on Buy it Now, call them tat if you like, but I need them and the guy probably makes a decent profit.
I'm sure many sales organisations that employ thousands of people have started in this way, there's no shame in building a business that obviously fills a need. I'd bet that this bloke has a more successful business selling "tat" than 99.9% of us have.

Agreed.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostThe guy that lived opposite me sold mobile phone covers and did an phone unlocking service. Kept the stock in his garage.
He had a brand new 911 Turbo with the proceeds.
Where there's tat (and morons), there's brass.
Was this guy selling on eBay?

A.K.A - Tat."We keep focussed on popular consumables. Our biggest sellers are all items with a value of less than £15 - accessories for iPod's and mobile phones, gadgets, and electronic toys - low value goods with a high volume and decent profit margin.
There is a plan B for someone - open a shop selling tat.
Has anyone here done that?
