Topic: Invest in a profitable and established eBay store - page 2. (Read 2693 times)

That's just my current stock. I made about 200 dollars in the last two weeks. This isn't my primary method of income at the moment, for one I don't have sufficient capital to make the necessary purchases for selling on a mass scale, this is where you guys come in. I've sold in spurts over the years as money has come in and I've had time. I want to make this my full-time job and I need you guys to help me do that.


Good luck! I'm glad I could inspire you!

If anyone has any other questions, I'll be happy to help.

Here's been my profit record over the last 12 months, I've spent about 850 dollars between cost of acquiring merchandise and shipping.

yeah, I dont really understand where you are going with this either. Dont get me wrong, most of what I buy online is vintage stuff (clothing and books) and I have messed around with ebay to very little success. Most clothing I get from either etsy or private retailers like rustyzipper.com, ebay isnt that great really. books i get from abebooks usually, or i go to a vendor aggregator like alibris for rare stuff.

I would first gather more stuff to sell. Then I would divide my stuff up - old video games and tech stuff like the projector I would for sure leave on ebay, the briq-a-brak and decorative stuff I would get onto etsy (keep in mind, etsy has an aesthetic standard and your collection should look like you put some effort there, not a church jumble sale.)

Anyway, it is interesting to see the first public attempt to sell vintage for BTC, as I have looked at the notion of selling collectibles for btc, but unfortunately, for the majority of the btc hodlers, vintage means sofubi from the 1990s and maybe old commodore 64 game cartridges.

EDIT- actually, now that I think about it, you have inspired me to get off my butt and photograph the thousands of dollars worth of 50s-60s vintage clothing and accessories I have laying around and put them up on etsy. Etsy allows vendors to accept btc. you just mention it in your item description and the buyer sends you a pm to set the deal up.

Sounds good, I might be interested BUT you are a reseller with 11 items listed for total of what, $100?

About BitThrift
Bit-Thrift is the culmination of 2 years of internet reselling focused on creating the best possible return looking for quality vintage merchandise, providing my customers with the best possible customer service experience, and learning the intricacies of reselling products online avoiding the high costs of shipping and extortionate fees that you can only learn by getting stuck in it. I have been unable to accumulate the volume I'm looking for because of the required capital but I believe that now is the perfect opportunity to expand my business with investment from this subforum.

What we hope to achieve
My goal is to expand the business with investors and provide them with a physical real world investment based around reselling products on popular marketplace sites. I have spent the last 2 years learning the ins and out of internet reselling on marketplaces like eBay, Etsy, and locally via Craigslist. We've been able to source merchandise in an effective, and efficient manner, have focused with good success on several types of merchandise such as retro videogames, vintage office equipment, high end cutlery, and glassware which are typically ignored items in thrift shopping. There's a huge marketplace for vintage items as people grow older, have nostalgia for items from their childhood, and realize that products from yesteryear have a unique style and robustness not found now.

Dividends & Shares
My focus is on protecting shareholder value. Biggest part of the profits will go to the shareholders, while remaining profits will be invested into sourcing new merchandise, covering the multitude of fees associated with reselling, and ensuring that remains profitable. I place a lot of effort into protecting the value of our shares and will only dilute share value under strict vote of the shareholders. Shareholders will determine how many shares will be issued and when. Not before.

This is how shares will be distributed:
Total Shares: 25,000
25,000 Shares at 0.001 BTC

Dividends: Paid bi-weekly.
70% to shareholders
20% for management
10% reselling fees

BTC Address:1H8xrQFKWdjJsrH7vgtri4w6RRpk3q7hDE

First Dividend: October 31st
Dividend Amount: (Tentative on price from USD to BTC) 0.209205024 BTC

I'll be happy to answer any and all questions. I am more than happy to provide proof of ID and a track record of my sales.
