Would (or do) any of you sell items of lower value that were only making £1/2 profit per item, but selling hundreds of these items a day? Everyday, obviously a lot of your time would be spent packaging, sorting these items etc. but the hard work would result in a bigger profit.

I have never had an interest in electronics, never shipped them, imported them or sold them. Although I have done a little computer stuff in my time [chip/card/prog writing etc]
I sold hand crafted/natural/wood/bone/furniture/decorative/carved items etc..... layout was a lot lower and margins a lot higher... I even had my own line manufactured.
Some of the decorative items I sold retailed for over £400.... netting approx 300%
Some furniture items were solid teak and retailed in excess of £500.... 400% mark up on buying price
My wife says she is getting bored sitting at home and taking a holiday every 3 months and wants me to set her up doing similar things.... so who knows
