Frankly, the pre made Dropbox accounts are useless IMHO. People are selling fully loaded Dropbox accounts for about the same price as yours, with around 10 fb available. Anyone could create a anonymous Dropbox account for free.

there's a variety of items for sale here, the best thing to do is look around and find things that people mention that would "be cool" to have or find a niche that nobody else has covered

see sig ;)

Guess it's time to lower the price then.Maybe around 0.4btc instead per account

Or try offering a similar service with fully loaded DB accounts but with a discount as compared to them. I'm sure you'll do better then.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, gorgo1, but by you simply asking what sells good around here, you have set yourself up to receiving zero orders regardless what you sell and at any price point. Also, why do you feel you need to pen your post in shorthand, oppose to using actually words? This, coupled with your low post costs, are red flags. But, it gets worse. Down the road when you'll be considered a full member and then present your wares for sale again, you still will have a hard time selling, for users on this board have learned to read any seller's first posts, looking for clues as to whom they may be dealing with.

That said, my advice for you is to create a new user account, heeding my suggestion. And please, please, please, don't do what the last guy did when I gave him the exact same advice--he added a 2 after his old user name. I sadly had to share with him the bad news a second time when he was complaining on this forum, again, that nobody wants to buy his stuff. Then he had the gull to blame me for his woes, when all I wanted to do was help out the lad.

Good luck with your new user name, gorgo1.

Gage I write shorthand as I grew up with using text speak and am not used to using full words all the time.On other forums I've been on,no one took notice. There's clearly a lot of differences on this forum that I'm not used to. My post counts are low as I'm a person who recently joined these forums-just give it some time. As for writing style,I'll try to write better as it helps people understand me better (as I'm not very good with non-text speak).

All feedback so far has been very helpful to me so thanks for that everyone who replied to me :)

I'll edit some of my posts to help people understand me better as people can't help me if they can't understand me.Have a nice night.

WOW! This post is a vast improvement over the previous ones of yours I was having difficulty reading. I sure hope that no offense was taken, for I truly was trying to help, hence taking the time then and now.

Good luck, gorgo1.

Means they loaded the db accounts with full affiliates, thus boosting the account to 10+gb's. That is what a couple people here have been offering. Selling a pre made db account that could be made in 30 seconds for 0.5 btc is like daylight robbery. I could make a script to auto create accounts for less then 5 sec/ account.
