Nice brilliant share. Thanks
Personally to save some time and trips I would put something within the eBay description that you only ship out once a week say Friday because of the overload of products that you sell weekly. Then when they purchase they know when it will be shipped and then you initially would only have to make a trip to the dollar store once a week and then once there buy everything you can. Figure out how much of each product you sell weekly with statistics etc like a real company and then you car start stocking up so then you can only need to go to the dollar store once a month.
Solid method
Here is an example... I took a look at my local dollar store online ad, found some toilet tissue for $6.50 (9 rolls). Jumped on eBay people are selling 4 rolls for $5.** and 20 rolls for $36.** which is a decent mark up. So within 2 minutes I have already found a product that I can purchase 27 rolls for $19.50, then if I sold a pack of 20 and 2 packs of 4 (give or take) then my total earnings would be $47 with a $20 investment so $27 profit. Not bad for 2 minutes worth of work.
200% return on $1 is $2.
Its all relative.
Now if this was 200% of $100 or $1000 then you have something good.
As I said. No reason to hustle for peanuts.
Stupid question: Is the description of the method inside images to prevent search spiders from archiving it? Or just to look pretty, and it is pretty.
Anyways... SAVED BEFORE VIP!
All the dollar stores I've been to, they make you buy in bulk. There's no just buying one item for $0.99, ya gotta buy a whole box with 50 of 'em. But this is awesome idea.
cool method...i am using a similar method but in fashion niche....
it works!
Nice brilliant share. Thanks
I thought im in BST sectionnice
Unique method, good amount of work, but money is money![]()
Just out of curiosity, are you really working this method? Or just re-posting WSO content for the thanks?

How can you automate going to the store, buying this stuff, posting it, packing it, shipping it.
I've done LOTS of eBay and amazon selling. It's not worth my time to nickel and dime 1000 products.
Buying low, selling high the oldest "trick" in the book.Always love when people think outside of the box. Well done!

This.
making a $2 on each item is great but then you have to drive to the store to buy it (gas), pack it (buying tape, buying boxes, buying bubble wrap, etc), and you have to drive to the PO (gas again).
With most of these low dollar items people won't want to pay for shipping ether. People will want free shipping or they will move on to the same plunger that's from Hong Kong offering free shipping.
After all these things being considered you are probably losing money in the end.
OMG ....
some people are just..urgh...
Op posted a great way for any struggling American to make some money..easy money . probably THE easiest money..and here come some GURUs that are all like: "Uhm..che..not worth my time " and BS like that...
Who the heck cares of it is not worth your time? Dont like it - dont read it!
How many threads are started where newbies ask how to make 5-10$/day? A LOT! So this is aimed at those people in the first place!
But some self-involved persons think that everything here is posted for their own eyes and take it all personally!
I really think those are also struggling but make themselves look like successful guys - let me tell you something: successful people dont act like kids!
Unclemike - nice method...too bad some dont see further than their own noses!
Always love when people think outside of the box. Well done!
What about the shipping ? Especially if you are shipping from outside US.
So i am buying products from $1 shops and resell them on ebay. Sure i can invest $1000 and package, ship and package,ship and package,ship.... Not worth the time dealing with $1 products. You have to sell large amount of products, which will consume your time, which can be spent in conductinging more profitable business, instead of packaging all day...

A lot of people asked how you would automate this and of course you can't get a VPS to walk down to Poundland for you but you could easily pay a human, that is of course once you're getting a lot of orders.
Great
