DodgyRog Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 As some of you may remember, my wife (Jen) used to sell Sunglasses at the local carboots, but for a few reasons that doesn't happen anymore So these are up for sale, as they are just clogging up the spareroom wardrobe They originally sold on Ebay ages ago, but the bidder messed us around, so they have just sat here ever since, click the Ebay link for some pics, I will add some on here later http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?249771-Yet-another-Ebay-Rant-they-are-a-joke&highlight=sunglasses Anyway, I am trying to raise some cash toward the Dragonball, so these are up for £200, that's about 50p a pair and we were selling them for £5 each at the carboot without any issue. These cost us about £2.50 a pair by the time they got to us from the States. It says in the Ebay ad where we bought them from if you want to check and that was back when the exchange rate was a lot better as well So if you want a nice little earner for a small outlay, here it is £200 for roughly 350-400 pairs of Sunglasses There are also loads of the fabric bags, there should be near enough one bag for each pair of glasses, but don't hold me to that..............there are loads of them though and there are also some hard cases and a couple of mirrors that can be chucked in We could possibly deliver for the cost of Diesel and a cuppa, I get about 40mpg, so would base it around that A few members on here bought a few pairs of me, so if you look at this, please post up your feedback, as it would be usefull for others to read, hopefully it will show these are not the usual cheap crap you see at the car boots Any questions, please post on the thread, not by Pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'd be interested in buying a couple set seperately. You may do better to sell them on their own Do a massive photo with like 50 sets per image, with code beneath them so people can pick. I'd be up for grabbing a few sets, my ass has destroyed so many!

DodgyRog Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Il offer £100 for the lot I really can't see Jen entertaining that at all, thats 25p a pair and to be honest I could proberbly sell a few individual pairs on here like I did before and raise close to that To put this into perspective, if you sold them for £5 each ( which we did for about 4 years) you will get back £2000, so a £1800 profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we did sell some individually a while on here, but with the posting it was a fair bit of hassle to be honest, if you fancy a couple of pairs mate pop in and have a look, I have that bonnet/bumper rubber strip here as well, you can that for the £10 it cost me this looks abit shadey I have no reply to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ah the bumper strip, yes you did say you had to have a look for it. Are you coming to the plymouth cruise? Few Supra's are going along should be good. When I get paid end of month I'll have that strip no worries. Where abouts do you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 How long did it take you to sell 10 pairs. We used to sell between 20 to 40 pairs at every Carboot, we used to do maybe 4 carboots from Easter through the summer. Best we ever turned over at one morning Carboot was just short of £400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Can't you just bubble wrap the lot, sandwich them so each one is protected and put them in a bit box. Can't be that hard to wrap them up Would do it at a cost, I'm sure they would sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
