Sign of the times ?

[bigj2552]

i am seeing more and more "set up for sale" on here.
Is it a sign of the times ?
or are people to lazy to work at it ?
or do people expect to make mega bucks within the first 6-12mths ?

or is it just sheer coincidence ?

you tell me friends - why so many sell ups ?

worrying indeed :rolleyes:

Some people expect to sell mugs at £3 per mug and make a small fortune overnight - after the novelty wears off, and they actually work out exact costs to make said mugs, they soon realise that they've been the mug, and were working for pennies - and then call it a day.

I'm not saying the above applies to the guys/girls selling the systems on this forum, things happen in business and it sometimes doesn't work out - but ebay has been littered with these set ups for months and months now!

i also was not implying about the folks selling on her either bud, just seems to be a general trend appearing..

i agree with JG, the space is also a factor especially at this time of the year, and it might just be the straw that breaks the partners back (the inlaws being invited etc) as what was a spare room is often needed for other things

I am sure there will be others appearing ready to make their fortune, and others will continue to plod along making their rent

Johns absolutly right see it time n time again its the get rich quick brigade but it dont work like that as some find out its not as easy as it looks i wonder how many have put justin beibers face on a mug or man utd badge thinking they gonna earn loads then the copyright lawyers start getting in touch and then theres those that buy cheap tackle n cheap mugs etc and start making loads until said equiptment breaks or complaints start rolling in and refunds paid out, nope its bloody hard graft and not that easy at all

I agree with John, Laura & Brett all the way.

One thing to think Johnny is when someone gives up that's one less competitor to worry about.

when someone gives up that's one less competitor to worry about.

Well, if they are giving up then probably they were never a real competitor in the first place. The time to worry (or rejoice for some) is when a real competitor gives up.

I wish all those struggling the best and all those doing well the same.

I'm not seeing it as a new trend, have certainly seen bits and bobs through to full set-ups on Ebay being sold off cheap, and advertised as only being a few weeks/months old, or has only printed x amount of times. Which can be great in terms of picking up bargains.
