Romulation Shop Update

RemnocaMy friend was like ":O Cyclo DS for 3 quid 49p?!"
So he bought it, he only got the box.

I thought it was illegal to Sell/Buy Flashcarts on Ebay.

It's still done.

Well that's probably why he got an empty box. :P

Some still do it.It's not illegal, it's just not a good practice.Remember.

hYpNoSIt depends, as I said, it's legal in australia as long as NO software is included.If it's legal in Denmark, and further research is carried out, prehaps they could be sold...or just micro sd cards which I'm sure are legal if sold without flash carts :)But any one of use can bs our way, I do advise selling face to face rather than over the mail.

Australia ftw :)

We tried the forum section, there wasn't enough interest so we removed it again. As for expanding the shop, we will, but it's not something one just does as buying products to sell requires quite a big initial investment.

Understandable mate. We wouldn't want you to buy Flashcarts for just say $20 each, and then sell them to us for $30 each.

So what you're trying to say is that we need quite a high number of certain sellers before we start the program?

sexywogboy · #26Understandable mate. We wouldn't want you to buy Flashcarts for just say $20 each, and then sell them to us for $30 each.

And that is cheaper than the shop I go to, which sells them for $40 :)

Raysie, it is impossible to make profit from 2nd hand products.. It has to be cheaper than the original market price for it to be sold.

This whole idea is about MEMBERS selling 2nd hand products, not Seph purchasing brand new products and selling them.

bobafett1136 · #27So what you're trying to say is that we need quite a high number of certain sellers before we start the program?

No. What he's saying is that he needs to have money in the first place to get the items to sell and then find a place where he can probably buy in bulk so the items are cheap enough for Romulation to compete with other online shops.

mds64 · #28And that is cheaper than the shop I go to, which sells them for $40 :)

That was just an example price. You know what I meant. :P

Replying to #29

Seph isn't talking about 2nd hand products.

Replying to #30

Your not getting the point though, go to the first post, this is ALL 2nd hand products.

Replying to #31

I know what you're talking about, but clearly you can see that the subject has changed and that Seph was talking about selling *Brand New* Flashcarts.

Replying to #32

I understand now, sorry, excuse my ignorance. What would be smarter though is instead of buying brand new products, Seph could get them from us at a much cheaper price than a store.

I do not want to sell 2nd hand products, I'd have to test each one to make sure it was still working and such, and that's not how I want to spend my time.

Replying to #34

Would you be able to make profit selling brand new products?

Let's try brand new flash carts/micro sd card then.If it's legal to sell from where you are of course sir.

Replying to #35

Of course!

Care to elaborate?

sexywogboy · #26Understandable mate. We wouldn't want you to buy Flashcarts for just say $20 each, and then sell them to us for $30 each.

Exactly.

mds64 · #36Of course!

Only if Seph is able to buy the Flashcarts cheap enough to actually compete with other online Flashcarts shops. The positive of buying Flashcarts from Romulation is that if a member has any problems with working with their Flashcart, they can easily ask for help from a place they bought it from. So that could give Seph a little more incentive to make Flashcart prices a "little" more expensive.

mds64 · #38...Exactly.

Fine, there will be a slight profit, but it would be slim, only if Seph could find a site with cheap flashcarts would this plan be very successful.
