Default Should i invest my £450 on some designer v-neck jumpers ?

So, i plan on buying 30 vintage v neck wool jumpers from a Chinese wholesaler. This will cost £450 but the brand is quite prestigious and the item looks good.

My concern is the competition, i plan on being the lowest price by a little. But, on ebay will i be able to sell 30 of these a week?



Is there anything better i can invest my £450 on?

Im guessing they are Lyle and Scott in the vintage range?

Also you are buying from China - they will 100% be fake!
Don't go there, as you could have trouble with customs, ebay, and possibly the police.
They will get removed on ebay, so don't waste your money.

my thoughts exactly... stay away, stay clear... 30 jumpers can get you in trouble with UK customs easily... they would be 99% fake...

hi friedrich,
click on womens clothing/knitwear on ebay , i just did and there are 69k items for sale , now not all of them will be designer , new with tags etc etc but a fair few will
you wont sell 30 a week starting off in fact you will struggle to get 30 views a week on your listings as even with a minute to go you will be down on page 12 out of sight of most buyers.
you will need to build it up selling a few and hope for referrals from satisfied customers or good feedback

best of luck and you could try picking some nice authentic gear up from liquidation auctions or the like
