Useful file Jaybone.

Dropshipping can be very profitable. I know of people selling some items we have very successfully.

Spypens can be purchased from DropTheGoods.com for £19.99, people are selling these for £40+ on the internet, so that's 100% profit.

The Touch screen phones are being sold for £95+, thats 33% profit.

So some great money to be made.

I'm fairly new to all this too, but I really want to start a business so, if someone could send me suppliers info and price list on any type of electrical product (mobiles/dvds/blu-rays/games/) I would be extremely grateful! I am starting a post on this too, many thanks in advance!

excepts its not is it? if it was 100% profit you would have to get it for free and have no costs associated with selling it.

It is 100% mark up (if you are not VAT registered)

It would be a 50% gross profit margin. Net profit would be minus any other costs associated with selling the product. Fees, postage, tax, overheads etc etc etc


Not trying to have a go but as a businessman and seller you should make correct statements about potential profit to potential customers and not make crazy statements of 100% profit.

hehe... I have a MASSIVELY better sheet that I use for myself to keep track on live listings, sales history etc. No seperate boxes, just one line which takes into account listing type, store type, paypal rate and powerseller status. Includes Macro's to post calculations to live listings and sales history.

Can't give that one away just yet though, I'm negotiating with a re-seller for the buy-out rights to it.

Jay
