This week I opened an account with a wholesaler who sells model cars as I keep getting asked by customers if I have any contacts for model cars.
One customer was wanting a particular model car that is to be released by a French company next month & the retail price is £98 each. My customer was looking for 10 of these models & I was jumping up & down with joy as the wholesale price is £64 each. I thought a nice profit there with not much work involved. To my horror my customer has come back to me to cancel the order because the manufacturer has now set up a club where anyone can join & buy the model for just £60 each delivered.
I've yet to approach the wholesaler about what has happend as I think they will not be very happy about this. Still tempted to buy some though & then sit on them for a few months as they are only producing 1750 & then list them on Ebay & watch people fight over them & as the price they are willing to pay goes up & up.
