I guess it depends on what kind of terms you'd be able to get from suppliers as a fairly small operator - unless of course you're planning on buying in by the container load. Ebay and paypal fees could make a big dent in a small profit margin, and you could be running around like a madman making pennies on each sale.

 

I don't know how arb guys do their shopping - I know I've sold stuff in the past that has gone for a lot more than I ever expected, and sometimes for more than the same item would cost brand new from a bricks and mortar retail outlet. That strikes me as shoppers being either click happy or just plain daft - and I don't know if you'd get the same sort of shoppers in arb world. I'm guessing most of them will have the names of the big outfits engraved in their heads somewhere, and you'd need to offer a pretty good deal to lure them away - which goes back to my first point about terms - and I'm guessing the big outfits will be buying a lot more, and a lot cheaper than you'll be able to.

 

So - not trying to put you off - but do your homework before you commit to spending a lot of money. Arb world will be a lot smaller and more specialist than golf world - and it would be easy to lose out on the idea.

 

Cheers,
