Cable ties in batches of 500 and sold in 50-100 pcs. 500 telephone wire connectors cost $60 ( Most need 10-20 pcs) I sold these in small batches and undercut every single supplier on ebay. All items I sold went for cost price and were shiped with 1st class post. Even added extra items to the orders so as to keep buyers extra happy as. I change my listing format to 3 day auctions, ensuring that every day my items would be comming to an end due to auction time running out and thus my listings would appear for a brief moment a the top of the page right at the end of the auction. All listings were started at 0.99p with no reserve and free 1st class postage. - End of Sep I made 431 sales Jul 13 Aug 6 Sep 431 Oct 21 1/450 = 0.22% within 3 months
