Online/Offline eBay Hybrid

I got my start many years ago with this model of eBay selling... I would be buying pallets of returns from various liquidators and flip them on eBay.

It eventually got big enough to start hiring, move into a large warehouse, and keep pushing the volume.

My question is... How many of you are doing this? Are you seeing the same level of profitability these days compared to when you started?

I used to source from all sorts of places, but the biggest profits came from Best Buy electronics. I would cherry pick the top 25% of the pallet or bulk lot, then flip the remaining lot on another liquidation marketplace.

Offline friend of mine is still doing this. Selling Amazon FBA. You need size-able volumes to compete. He managed to get a warehouse, two vans and two employees within 2 years (or rather: two times Black Friday and Christmas haha).

On the FBA side of things yes you need volume to become a profitable player. eBay on the other hand, I found a specific recipe for being successful no matter what I'm selling. I'm glad to not be in that game anymore though (shipping 200-300 packages a day by myself was quite the grind).

I don’t know how it work
