Answer 1

good question and i will be happy to give good advice.First its about convenience then its quality and getting that in the hand of the consumer for a easy fast and convenient and comfortable price NOT CHEAP if you start to sell cheap your going to be trated like a cheap your going to make your business look uncofident and cheap.I think the prices are good i wouldnt not really know i dont deal in electronics and i dont know if the BRANDS which is very important are good.These days stupid people wants brands its brands this and brand that.And owners get freaked and start to try and compete with wholesaling and lose there vision.I wouldnt deal in electronics but for you better know what your doing.The market is rigged all the name brand companys give the same roster of wholesale pricing to everyone and they you guys compete against the same crap.So there for you better be marketing and building a brand to beat competition.

Answer 2

You better do a lot of analysis up-front for this for your actual costs, because there are too many companies out there claiming to be wholesale sellers and their prices are actually HIGHER than you would find on amazon.com as a consumer. So make sure you have real costs for real items you know the public will buy. Used eBay as an indication to see what has sold, not what has been placed in there without any bids, but the history of the items which have sold. Factor in all your costs, including your time.

Answer 3

I have heard from Ebay sellers that electronics is so competitive, it's hard to make a profit.



If running your own site your prices might not account for customer acquisition cost, which can be substantial, typically eCommerce sites make 1 sale per 50 - 150 visitors, which makes paid advertising a real challenge to make profitable.
