Ebay distasters!
This is a multi-platform for Impulse buys and unemployed.

Many moons ago I was "asked" to leave the Police Force, I'll say no more!

For three months I was unemployed and decided to start my own Ebay business, these were my ideas:

Adidas Y3 trainers I bought 150 pairs for £200.00 baragin! Got them they were all a size smaller than labeled in the shoe so I had 20 black Y3's size 4, mens shoes and the rest were 5 and 6's. I HAD BLOODY KIDS Y3 shoes! I sold one pair to my Brother in law for £20.00 and palmed the rest of them on to an unknowing Ebay buyer geting £100.00 back.

My next venture was kids watches 50 watches for 20 quid, bargain. This was two years ago, I still have 40 left! I'm a Sales manager now, needless to say my Ebay business wasnt on my CV!

a friend of mine
once bought a job lot of 100 sim cards on ebay, in the hope of selling them on for a fiver a go. that'll make a nice tidy profit he thought.

as you'd expect, he sold exactly none.
