eBay that is.

I'll sell low cost items (usb thumb drives, data cables, phone covers etc) and I'll buy them wholesale from China.

Basically anything that fits in an enveloppe so I dont have to go post office after work and low cost items so I dont lose all profit if I have to refund cause package going missing etc.

I did it before succesfully but that was 8 years ago and I stopped cause going to post office everyday at 5pm and waiting in line fking sucks and not worth the time and headaches.

The goal is a side hustle making an extra 100-200 euro a month next to my full time job.

Thoughts? Still profitable in 2019? Or the chinese seller becoming too mainstream and too much competition?


You can make more money from green/blue glass insulators.

Assuming you have access to a them.

Small sets can go for several hundred $USD

-e2

The older the glass the better, also if you have the skills you can make trinkets or sculptures and stuff out of them, that can sell for thousands.

Wrong, lasagna is for eating. Not selling. Not sharing. Eating only.

I helped someone who owned several pawn shops handle a large portion of easy2sell items for high profit online. Insulators were #1.

Naw that requires a paper trail.
