Title: Do you own a store?
Post by: TheGr33k on November 21, 2015, 04:15:51 PM
If so, what do you sell? Also, do you like your job at all?

I just started this new business dedicated to buying all kinds of merchandise in bulk to help out any seller that is in need of immediate liquidation. If you don't know what liquidation services provide to merchants, check out this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257815.msg13032327#msg13032327) where I explain it, and will soon demonstrate it! I wanted to have a lively discussion on the matter, and reach out to other people who do this type of work! Sometimes, you just can't sell items because you either:

A. Don't have a large audience to sell to.
B. Don't know how to target the right demographic.
Or C. Simply just don't know how to make your items appeal to others. That's why friendly liquidators are available to you!


Also, sometimes you cannot afford to wait patiently for sales to be made, and you need money immediately.

I used to own a second hand store.  I would buy and sell things all day.  Then I got tired of the customers who were welfare bums coming in all the time with these nice expensive things and have no money to buy anything. Then I would get those who had no life who would come and sell me something and when they would see me out at a store or mall, they would come up to me like they were friends with me or something. I got sick or it so I quit.

Tell me more about the part where you use to buy items for resale.

For example, what did you buy?

Me personally i always wanted to open store that sells strange funny things like you find on http://www.firebox.com (http://www.firebox.com) but with my original stuff. Also i would target the demography in my country and maybe few otherts (that uses my language). Basicly start would be humble and i like that :)

A brick and motar store or an online store?
I think it is easier to own an online one for you don't have any overhanging costs.

What will you be selling in that store?

I reviewed those items, and they seem very normal to me.

Maybe I'm so strange to the point that I couldn't classify anything strange on that site.

I do own a store.  I own a pawnshop in which I buy and sell anything of value.  Want to sell something, hit me up on here, I will pay BTC for it!!  As long as there is a way for me to make money, and it is legal, I am in.

Well yea they are prtty normal but those are the items you doint run on most times when you are at a small market store ( again im in serbia so those things are rare )

Not completely. It only costs 4,000 dollars at least.

At most, I have seen stores as expensive as 100,000 to almost a million, depending on the location or what they sell.

Depends on what you believe has value. What are you looking to buy? Do you have a thread in regards to your business?

Post by: bojan92 on November 24, 2015, 02:23:49 AM
i have an online store and i mostly sell products i buy on ebay or aliexpress. The worst thing i am facing is the time i waste waiting to receive the products. The trends change too quickly so i can invest my money and buy more items. In the period of time i am waiting for my products their price on the market may drop below the price i am buying them.
I like the liquidation job you do, i have watched many shows on discovery channel about that, it sounds very interesting but you have to have a lot of money to start a business like that, right?
Wish you the best of luck :)))

Yes, I do own a storefront. It is however 100% online and I have no physical storefront.

It's incredibly easy to set up a web store actually. in this day and age basically all of the hard work is done by others and its just a matter of you designing it how you would like it and offering what you want to sell in a presentable format.
You can dropship items and make a fair profit as well.

If you want some help setting up a site I ask you to look into the web design page in my store. We can likely sort something out.
I can do normal web stores, ponzi sites, dice sites.. anything really.

That is quite a lot of money, and you have to invest some to time so people will come to you to buy stuff they need. maybe if i move to USA i will start something like that. In my country that is not possible the market is just too small. And what kind of stuff you buy and sell? Furniture, computers, what? :)))
