Another day, another dollar or the potential to earn dollar/s
in my case. I spent the majority of the
day trawling the many international eBay sites. I soon started to curse my earlier
thinking that eBay would be the answer to all my acquiring stock based prayers.
Seems like this little thing called postage costs and the other minute detail
that other people want to make money from me (fancy that) meant that my end
product would cost so much more than what anybody would actually want to pay
for it. I was pretty damn stumped but then some bright spark on yahoo answers
helped me out (indirectly though, seems that pretty much every question
imaginable asked by the lazy, dim-witted and curious has been answered by some well-meaning,
intelligent and coherent human being or more often than not a wannabe internet
comedian.) So now I’m contacting the individual manufacturers of the products hoping
they will lead me to a wholesaler that will help me out. I’ve had one promising response, well I think
its promising it’s all in broken English and a bit of Chinese but I can 梦想*
I’ve also
had word back from the folk that hopefully will be doing my packaging. My
cheeky request for a free sample has been met with a fee that would normally
get me 25 of the boxes I wanted. It is currently a choice between two boxes and
apparently if I do pay for the samples, then the money I pay will be taken from
my actual order. Very cunning Box Maker Company (not its real name), very
cunning indeed. Luckily it’s pretty damn cheap and I’m just moaning because I didn’t
get my free sample.
*it’s supposed to say “dream” but more than likely
says “This idiot copy and pasted this from a translation website.” Actually, in
hindsight I’d rather it mean the latter due to the potential for tattoos that would
make a Chinese fellow chuckle for the briefest moments.
