Another income stream which people shouldnt find offensive.

Ok after my last post I got a !!!! load of grief from somemembers for being morally repulsive. (The post was about e-pimping, legal yet unethical.)

The following post no one should find offensive, unless you're already raking it in with this method in which case sorry).

This method related to finding stock to sell, be it for eBay or websites.

Before I begin, all old stock / out of line stock costs business money. both in storage space and in tied up cash. In times like these this old stock can cripple a small brick and mortar business.

Now this method is going to mean you talking to business owners face to face but what’s the worst they can say, no?

The method

Its simple go into small to medium sized independent businesses and ask to talk to the manager / owner.

Tell them that you are willing to get rid of any old stock /out of line stock for a commission (that you will set with them). take a few pictures of the items and leave. Don’t be a fool and tell them where you’re selling the items.

Go home, post items on eBay, or your ecommerce site. Receive money, pay shop their cut and collect item, put it in the post. (you don’t want the shop to know your flogging it on eBay) and bobs your uncle.

This method is great as you need barely any start-up capital and the more you sell for each customer the better deals you will generally get.

There are an infinite amount of independent shops you couldwork with so it’s not going to die any time soon!
