Didnt want to jump on the post under me. But I'm after the same thing. Could really do with a break.

I have a good few years experiance mainly selling on Facebook using local selling sites and spamming my advertisement. I've sold things like kids toys, balance boards, clothing, branded clothing, fence panels. I got sent to court earlier this year and got charged a fair bit for selling counterfeit.

I also spent £1300 on a eBay site with mobile format on a business idea selling something that I've realised will only sell Christmas time, so that idea is out the window.

I'm currently selling genuine adidas trainers. Ive only had the stock a week and made £70 but now I'm stuck with sizes people don't want.

I was wondering if anyone knows any good places I can get branded clothing from? Or any new ideas I can make £50-100 a week from an 1000/2000 investment.

Thanks
 
His just giving me advice that's all :). Nothing wrong with that surely?

    What about making a business plan which would highlight the good and the bad like the ratio's of buying and selling goods

    For instance ten years ago with mens clothing you average sales at
    1 x small, 2 x medium, 2 x large and 1 x XLarge
    Now its more like 1 x Medium, 1.5 Large , 3 x XLarge , 1or 2 x 2XLarge

    Above depending on type of garment

    Do your homework before you start next time

    I haven't run out of offers yet, there are new ones for existing customers added daily. The T&C's aren't that bad if you use a service like YB (as they show you exactly what to do and which offers to focus on), although I don't think I'd want to do it all myself as I can see it would be far too much work for the reward.

    I think the main issue is getting your accounts limited (not receiving more offers) and that has happened on one of my accounts. There is info on what to do to stop that, but they say it's more an art than a science. Still going strong several months in and is actually quite a lot of fun once you get into it.

    yeah I keep reinvesting it into my exchange balance (betfair) as that's where you need the most. IO started with £200, but you could easily do it with £60 - £100, it'll just take you a little longer to complete the offers as you'll need to move money around a bit. There are loads of people that have made £1k in their first month on yesbets.. so it is doable.
