I presume it counted as it hasnt told me otherwise, but i voted for both 'Wholesale' and 'Other methods' - The majority of games i sell via the internet are via the normal channels but as single items where as locally i sell in bulk for all gaming items and computing goods.

I prefer dropshipping as no risk involved.

I prefer dropshipping from a dropshipper, who dropships from another dropshipper. Much easier.

Bulk buying!!!! I've never dropshipped an item before and I have no interest in it what so ever...Rather have the product on hand because this is the only way to know what is being shipped.

Not really. There are many risks with dropshipping. I prefer wholesale.

As I posted in another thread similar to this -

That is not necessarily true.

If I can sit at home and sell $ 10,000 per month at a 20% profit and make $ 2,000 and you are stocking your goods and making $ 3,000 per month on the same amount of sales who is better off?

I have nothing invested.

In order to maintain $ 10,000 sales at 30% gross you will need to have $ 7000 at cost each month, with an average inventory of 4 turns a year that is $ 21,000 tied up, plus rent and shelving, etc. So who is better off?

Out of your $ 3,000 you have to pay shipping, storage, customs fees, etc. And you have $ 20 or so constantly tied up. Where I have $2,000 free and clear and all of my cash in my pocket.

You also have to deal with slow moving goods, or items you bought that just don't sell at all. I have no dead or slow inventory to worry about.

Meooww :P
We shouldn't criticise GM, he obviously values myself and hardwareheroes services being his dropshipper, dropshipping for his dropshipping service for his customer dropshippers
