Oddments on EBAY

What to Do with Odd Items Left Over

Running an E-commerce business can be labour intensive. In our kind of business, we often buy in huge job lots of clothing from all kinds of sources. Sometimes we find ourselves left with all sorts of oddments. They could be samples or sometimes when we buy from liquidation or surplus from shops, we can find ourselves with products which are left over in just single items. It this case, it isn't cost effective for time in the studio, photographing on models and then editing the picture size, colour and background on the computer. All to sell just one item.

We had been at a bit of a loss what to do with the oddments that we collect like this, and so we decided to give Ebay a try. We have put 20 of our left over items together on EBAY as a wholesale job lot. I'm sure that these will be of interest to Ebayers, market traders, or shop owners. In our first wholesale auction we've placed a job lot of 20 items of ladies clothing. Brands such as French Connection, Sonetti, Great Plains, O'Neil, Claire DK, Inwear and White Stuff should help the lot to sell. We started the auction at 1p, and the lot has over £800 in RRP value.

You can see how our auction is doing / has done TopBrandsDirect Wholelsale Auction.
