Hi guys, I'm trying a new business idea in real life and here's how it goes:
1) Buy an amazon fire TV stick from bestbuy for $40.
2) Preload them with Kodi, and install a build with hundreds of addons.
3) Install Mobdro which allows you to watch live channels/live sports.
4) Sell them on local classifieds & ebay for $70.

So far in almost a month I've only sold 3 of them, 1 is my friend, 1 from going outside and selling to random people, and 1 from local classifieds.

I want to sell more, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I see other people selling them on eBay and they've sold thousands, here's my listing on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272331084878

What I've tried:
- Lowering the price on eBay to move myself higher.
- Making a facebook page.
- Flyers.
 
Post that in FB groups in your local area... I see that often in the groups I admin.

Set up a table at a local flea market; I bet you sell some there and the rent is cheap.
 
I have bought one from a friend myself, and I can tell you that it is very saturated. I want to say the peak of selling the preloaded firesticks was a couple months ago when it was new to most of the community. Now there are over a thousand tuts on getting it on the firestick, so sales have been brought down along with that. You definitely can sell a decent amount of those, just don't expect anything too high.

Thanks, trying that right now.
I went to a swap meet a few days ago but sold none, but then again there was like nobody there lmao.
They're more busy on Sundays, that's when I'll go.
Thanks for the tips.
 
If you check ebay you'll see that market is extremely saturated.
I had a guy offer me one for like $80 once, I then went on amazon, bought my firestick and did it myself in 15 minutes.
You need to target older people, but not too old that they can't work a firestick
I hacked mine to gift my parents and they love it. Maybe you could make a video and/or manual explaining how easy and awesome it is and then go around local events for older people with that video and a super easy how to manual with pictures.
