sure it'll be alot of work shipping out 20 units, but think of it like this ...

buy at $3 each x 3% tax = $3.09 per unit.
$3.09 X 20 units = $61.80 invested
1 ebay auction with 20 available for purchase @ $9.99 each, $6 shipping, $3 for every additional.

That's $200 from eBay - 3% (paypal fee) = $194
$194 - $3 (ebay fee) = $191

$191 - $61.80 = $129.20 profit.


you gotta assume that shipping will be close to $6 per unit, it's also good to add a tracking number to protect yourself. If would be best to use Priority mail too ... you get free boxes.




if we all tried hard enough, I bet we could do an extra $50 a week ... that's $2,600 at the end of the year. It's all about staying motivated. We're all pretty much experts in TFs, so there's little or no risk to choosing an item.
