You have to select items that work best for you. Some people work with back-catalog titles whilst others with latest releases, and some just with consoles.

It's all about knowing and how to sell your products. There is a reason for us having our own website and not using an eBay shop.
fair enough but you have to appreciate the fact that if a buyer is looking online more often than not they will compare prices through a number of sites and they will more than likely be game hmv and ebay.

for example your'e looking for gta 4 and you want it new and sealed and you find it on ebay at £12 then find it on someones elses site for £28 you are definetly going to buy it from ebay! ebay not be the most profitable selling platform but it is certainly the most popular shopping place on the internet!

on a second look i would agree that there are the odd one or two items that could prove profitable for example the xbox elite with halo 3. i seen asda selling an xbox elite at £180 on it's own.

how long until the service is up and running?? i will have a better look into this at the time you get it running.

I think he just posted all his stock but will obviously will only deal with latest stock. I doubt people would wanna pay £28 on games like Devil May Cry 4, Ninja Gaiden 2 etc, but thats whats dropshipping is about, mainstreaming to latest products and accessories and consoles

Well it's going to cost us quite a bit to start it all up, so we just wanted to see of poeple are genuinely interested, and will more than likely sign up once it's active. It's no use investing so much and getting one or two of you...
