Worth trying Facebook for 20p vendors.

Post by glennborthwick »

You've possibly got a facebook page called "items for sale in...................."

If you sell 20p items they seem to fly. I tested it and sold 400 bouncy balls to various people in batches of 50 (£6) and the same for trolls in batches of 20 (£3)

Mainly people buying for party bags. Easiest £50 profit. Might be worth looking about on facebook to see if there is a group for your town.

Hi Glen,
I Dont know that much about Facebook. Do you have a seperate business account, or can you use a personal one.
Did they pay you direct as any business transaction, or do they have to collect. How do they get your bank details if items are to be posted. Is that given via e-mail.

Thanks,

Paul

cash on delivery. Facebook is just a networking site. Basically some bright spark has set up a group called "items for sale in Ilfracombe". You post something like "27mm trolls in capsules - perfect party bag toy 50 for £7", and people contact you . Sold 600 this month. Not massive money but £45 profit for an hours delivering whilst im driving around filling up vending machines.
