Default Is there profit to be made?

A simple YES or NO followed by how much profit you think per unit will do just fine.

Right do you think there is a profit to be made on eBay, with Brand New PSP GIGA PACKS that can be bought for £125/unit for 45 units (RRP is £215)? The units are UK Spec. In the UK. No import duties or VAT to be added.

Payment is by cash on collection so no delivery charges either

So if you think a profit could be made please answer yes or no and state how much you think per unit!

I see then sell on ebay for £180+ and that is for Jap. version and open to import duties as shipped from Asia. So theres at least £45 for my shout per unit.

Thanks

Sorry, forgot YES

A quick ebay throws up:

Buy it nows ranging from £174.99 to £214.99(!) for brand new UK Giga Packs (different firmware versions)..

Search on the last 100 auctions to finish, prices ranged from £144.99 to £192.56 (UK Spec ones)

So realistically the prices range you can hope to fall between is £145 to £190..

Therefore my prediction would be around the £165 mark, giving £40 clear per unit = £1800 profit.

I would definitely go for it since it is cash and carry. That is as safe as it gets. Now if you plan to

ship to buyers outside the uk, make it clear the buyer pays for shipping charges along with any

customs duties that might arrise. I have no doubt you would easily sell the items and quickly too

to people locally.

Furthermore the sets are uk specs so i think it is a great deal.
