website or not

[ashraja]

hello well i have just purchased 50 ralph lauren jumpers from a wholesaler and was wondering do you think it would be better for me to advertise them on ebay or have a website
because i do know that ebay will charge be about £120 for all 50 jumpers to be listed
thank you

To get a decent looking website, it will set you back about £200.

It depends - Are you going to be selling all the time, or is this a one of situation.

Why don't you flog them in the Pub you say you own (in this thread)? "Nice warm jumper guvvnor? Hot off an 'Holesaler, dontcha kno."

 

[downsouth]

think u'd of been better thinking how you gonna sell em before buying them, authentic stuff will sell, dodgy stuff wont!

Unfort you bought into some of the most copied and fake stuff going, yours maybe authentic but you try shifting them on ebay and you'll fall into the 'copied n fakes' category

 

[Tessgoes]

are all the jumpers the same or are they different, surely you could advertise one type on ebay and say there are other sizes etc available?
I do this with my splashbacks on ebay and works well....

 

[Tessgoes]

why are you assuming there fake??

 

[Dawg]

why are you assuming there fake??

Because it's unlikely that a premium international brand like RL has a distribution strategy that encompasses wholesalers distributing to pub landlords who are considering flogging them on ebay.
Could be wrong I suppose, times are tough and maybe Ralph needs every penny. Unlikely though.

 

[Tessgoes]

fair point!

 

It is possible they could be an old style, etc, so may not be fakes.... if bought from one of the wholesalers who specialise in such stuff.

50 of them...... why would you buy 50 RL garments without a route to market?

Surely if it is a one-off, a local selling method would be best, coupled with a few on ebay.

Hi,
I agree, but if you decide you want to go down the website route, I'll set you up with an ecommerce store for £75. Sounds too cheap, but it's ideal for something like this. It's an old store sitting on an unused website - I'm just looking to recoup some monthly hosting fees. Let me know if this is any use to you.

Hi,

It depends if you want to sell stuff (stuff may vary at times) regularly you may go for a CMS based website on which you can edit content as per your need, but in case its just a one time flair you may opt for e-bay which would be a better option for you.

If you need help in getting a website, please PM me. I'll be glad to help you.

hey,
you'd better check they website.
you can use alexa.com

Without being an authorised distributor you may have problems selling these items on ebay anyway due to their vero policy.

I would make sure you can list them first before establishing your plan.

Also if they are fakes you are actually breaking the law. When I was studying A level law we used to go to the courts to watch the cases. I once watched a man get a 6 year custodial sentence for 12 accounts of selling fake Nike socks on the Blackpool Promenade. (6 months for each).

I would re look at your business plan before spending anything more to make sure all of your ducks are in a row, as I am sure you don't want to make a mistake that could affect your freedom.

Good Luck
