so i tried shopster yesterday to see what their prices are like...

ipod touch 32 Gig

350 or something like that....nice price! cool!
but wait....

50 dollar transaction fee
plus 2.50 drop ship fee
and then 11 dollars shipping/handeling

and it costs 49.00 a month pluss a 100 dollar set up fee...

Ha Ha Ha, i can get a cheaper ipod touch at best buy

that's how everything was w/shopster... the initial price was cool...but when you factor in all the fees, you are basically paying retail for their shit

My experience was unpleasant as well. 90% of the stuff is really bad and not profitable but there are some things that you can make some profit on. But the reason I stopped using them was their poor tracking system. I simply couldn't take it and just quit it

Yah, I think it has been mentioned a few times on BHW that most of these "middleman" drop shippers like Shopster are all shit cans!

What about doba? Has anyone tried them out?

Doba Shopster are basically the same thing, you really cant make any decent profit from it, the best way will always be buying bulk.

thanks for the info.. i was about to try them out.. but do you have any reliable sources for buying in bulk...?

You really need to go deep down, also forget about brand name items (already over saturated market and small profits) Try going through Chinese directories e.g. Tradekey, Global Sources (they send me a magazine for free every year with all the latest chinese electronics, etc)
