I have openly criticised dropshipping. I actually view it as a form of pyramid selling whereby the bottom of the food chain usually earns the scraps.

If, however, as you say, you are not too bothered about making a BIG profit, the right product might bring you rewards if somewhat limited.

Hear hear! With a grand you want to get something you can get in and out with quickly while you build your site/look to the future.

Try 1,000 lotto tickets or if your not insane then try finding some genuine lacoste/ralph lauren products and selling them on ebay most people don't bother because all the fakes but when i listed authentic polos with proof they were genuine and offering double your back if not i got £35-£45 for the shirts i didnt make a huge profit but it shows people will pay more for the real thing if its there.

Nope! Typical Blackbushe, over priced and full of the public running prices up! Bid on a few Berlingos but they were fetching silly money. Looks like a trip to Measham on Tuesday if I have the time or can be arsed.

I've looked on there, and viewed some. Decent ones are around 3.5K for a 05/55. I should be able to get a year newer for less than that at Measham
