Buy in volume for a price break. "Buy pounds, Sell ounces"
For fast capital increase.
"Play"
"The $5.00 Market"
Concept: The market is: "the wage earner", at a get by from "pay check
to pay check income", $5.00 is the amount in his pocket that is
"expendable" without having to justify it, I.E. Not "the bills money".
If you can price your Item at $5.00 The only thing that "matters"
is if the buyer wants it, Period.
It doesn't matter what it cost
you. So if you buy something in volume, Multiply the price you bought
it for by 10,
Divide that amount by $5.00
divide your volume
into that many lots
sell at $5.00
You have now made 10 times your
capital.
10 KEYSTONE
YOU CAN DO THIS WITH ALMOST ANY PRODUCT
Example: I sell rough emeralds:
I sell 1/2 lbs at $15.60 Thats $31.20/lb + shipping.
shipping will combine up to 5 lbs for $8.00.
So 5 lbs of emeralds would cost $156.00 + $8.00 =
$164.00.
Stratagy, follow these directions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buy 1/2 lb from spacetrader
and sell back on ebay
(1 oz packets for $5.00 ea. + $3.60 s&h)
1st loop:
Invest $15.60 + $4.40 s&h = $20.00
1/2 lb = 8oz sold at $5.00 + $3.60 s&h = about $7.00
return ea. x 8 = $56.00 - $20.00 = $36.00 Profit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point I would go dutch auctions ebay cost $2.30
experiment with ad copy & catagories. ask questions on the Q & A board.
2nd loop:
Reinvest in a lb, $35.60
$7.00 x 16oz = $112 - $66.80 = $45.20 to spend, Buy shipping materials
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd loop:
Reinvest in 2 lbs $62.40 + $4.40 s&h = $66.80
$7.00 x 32 = $224.00 - $164.00 = $60 to spend. Buy shipping supplies wholesale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4th loop:----------------YOU CAN START HERE--------------
Reinvest
$164.00
5lb = 80 oz x $7.00 = $560.00-$328 = $232 to spend
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5th loop:
Reinvest $328.00
10 lb = 160 oz $1,120 - $800 = $320 to spend
At this point I will sell you, A 55lb sack at $800.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6th loop:
Reinvest
$800.00 + $42.00 s&h UPS
This gives 110 1/2 lbs X $15.60 = $1'716.00/ sack,
Post office will supply priority boxes, tape, & labels free.
Or lbs = 880 oz x $7.00 = $6,160.00.00
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REPEAT 6TH LOOP!!!!
Shipping cost = postage = $0.56
Padded envelope = $0.19
Plastic bag = $0.02
postage & packaging = $0.77
Handling "This is your labor"
1. load the ad, answer emails.
2. divide items into smaller bags.
3. label padded envelope & insert the bag.
4. take the days shipments to the post office & pick up checks.
5. leave + feedback & email that item has been shipped on mm/dd/yy
Thats your total labor
