You might be not sure what to do with all those lists of categories of products and merchants – even once you explore the detailed dropship list program comparison (and they charge some fee for their high quality lists – that is the difference from free dropshipper lists where any kind of company can add its listing and nobody verifies that data). When you have read success stories of other online entrepreneurs similar to you then an idea and vision of your future dropship business shape in your mind:

- what kind of products sell with dropship business concept
- where to test products and how
- what to look for in dropshipping merchants
- where to sell those products
- when it is the time to invest into own website and its web promotion
- when it is reasonable to grow and start more e-commerce stores

eBagTrends.com + eBagTrends Message Board

I am considering selling my E-commerce Website. Merchandise can be dropshipped or stocked yourself. I will be providing the new owner of the site with valuable suppliers and resources, and everything is easy to manage.

I did my research for a profitable ecommerce category and decided to start eBagTrends.com. “bag” and “handbag” has consistently been in the top 10 search results for site such as Shopping.com, Amazon.com and Ebay.com. Initially, I was just selling handbags, then I placed some jewelry categories in. Finally, I incorporated my Amazon associates program and a few others that I have so I could expand my product range into higher end designer bags, shoes, jewelry and other accesories.

eBagTrends.com is very much like ebags.com. eBags.com sells a wide variety of bags and their entire business is dropshipped.

I have always stocked all items myself, but the new owner can completely dropship with the suppliers or do both.

The site currently sells merchandise from:
Kooba
Jessica Simpson
Melie Bianco
Koi
Perlina
and many designer inspired items from hobo bags totes, satchels, duffel bags and many more styles. Many of the designer inspired items are the hottest sellers.

What Comes with Sale of Site:
Free transfer and ownership of eBagTrends.com
Full functioning and easy shopping cart script
eBagTrebnds message Board for traffic purposes
List of all suppliers will go to the new owner only.
All file and photos that are on the site already.
*Site also comes with eBagTrends message board at http://www.ebagtrends.com/forum – Great way to increase repeat and new business*

*I will be supplying the new owner with 5 reliable and reccomended suppliers*

Conclusion: added to the answers of numerous questions you might have about dropshipping business you can use these case studies to develop similar projects selling the same products just to get feeling of the entire process. Once you are in you can test things.

Real dropshippers REVEALED

Today I am going to show you that you can make money online with dropshipping replica watches: dropshippers are a must for this product as well.

As you know it is a sort of product that gets high earnings margin for their image of half-prohibited product. I have posted about other dropship businesses in the past (just check that post on dropshipping replica watches to see if it is legal to sell replica watches, say, in the USA and other countries and what you should remember not to cross the border if you make up your mind to deal with this sort of dropship product).

Description:

I have ran similar sites in the past and they have all been profitable. The average profit margin on a watch is $100-150 NET profit and about $200-800 on a swiss watch.

I currently get my watches in new york however I will provide a dropshipper for the winning bidder if he is not in the NY area.

I currently have about 5 watches in stock. If you like I can supply those watches for an additional $200 on top of what the auction stops at.

From what I have seen before, I get an average of 1 order for every 100 uniques on the site.

Also I will tell new owner where and how to advertise to get the most out of his investment and what he can do to increase sales.

Please ask all questions and I will be happy to answer

Conclusion: is it ethical to do replica watch dropshipping or not – it is you who should decide. But one can be sure of one thing – there is no doubt it is a profitable product to dropship

But once you browse categories of real dropshippers directories (they offer free previews and free trials) you will get the feeling of dropship business potential.

Today I list another quite specific dropship business:

ATV Online Dealership – Profitable, No inventory – all dropshipped.

• Minimum bid: $2,000
• Buy It Now: $10,000
• URL: westernatvs.com

What the site does

The site sells ATVS with an emphasis on kids ATV’s, which are very popular in many parts of the country. The ATV’s are purchased wholesale from a dealer, which dropships them to the customer. They can ship anywhere in the continental U.S. The wholesaler is itself just reselling some of the main brands. We have been carrying the Kazuma, a popular low price brand, the dealer’s own in-house branded units, and Jetmoto, a higher cost line.

How it works

Site runs on standard OS Commerce installation. I submitted to Froogle once, but have not had time to keep up with it. Froogle listings last 30 days, but can be renewed forever. On ATV forums I saw a large percentage of sales from Froogle. I also saw other dealers selling a lot via basic viral marketing on ATV blogs etc. Nice thing is each sale is more of a profit margin than selling stereos; downside is you will not sell 100 a week like you might sell stereos.

All the sales so far have been from search traffic, pretty good for big ticket items.

The site has been submitted for SEO for a year by a professional SEO service. The current contract runs until May 2008.

Parts are available from the dealer. I have never listed parts or the other items the dealer has, all of which I could sell (motor bikes, etc). If a customer calls I sell them a part. The parts business is supposed to be big, but I cannot speak from experience.

I have an 800 number for the site. About 50% of the sales called in before they bought and I called them back; they wanted to make sure there was somebody there before they bought.

There is a very slow period Jan-March. Seasonal cities buy in the summer, places like California tend to buy November-December.

History

The site started April/May 2006 under the former owner, who is still available and from whom I occasionally seek advice. He has other big ticket sites, and did not have time to spend an hour a day returning calls, checking on orders, etc. I purchased the site from him with the intention of doing bigger promotion than he did. However, I have a software company which has zoomed and is keeping me traveling on the road several days a week, and I cannot keep up with the site.

Current status (dropship toys)

I get about 3-5 incoming leads a week, but I have not had time to respond to any of them. Former owner says he got only 1-2 a week, so the search stuff is improving. As an example, last week on Monday I got a call from a customer wanting 2 Jetmoto units. I got the message Tuesday morning, and called him Tuesday evening. He had already bought elsewhere. He said he had waited several hours for a callback. That would have been about $900 profit alone.

Both the old owner and I agree the site could easily do triple the current sales if somebody had the time to put an hour or so a day into it. You could also add other items, parts, etc. You could also advertise on ATV blogs, etc., which I never did.

What You Get

You get the site, the domain, the SEO provider account, the dealer info and contacts, all customer history. I will provide any assistance needed via email.

The site easily made $10K profit in a year. Despite the fact that the site could be doing triple that easily, we are not selling based on potential, just on history. The BIN is set to one year’s profit.

It is frustrating us enormously that there is “money laying around” here, and we cannot invest the time to get it. We are open to all offers.

Please be sure you understand everything before bidding. I have purchased 6 sites in the ast 3 months alone at sitepoint, but I have never sold. Other sellers tell me of non-paying bidders; please, only bid if you are serious.

I have a spreadsheet detailing all the sales and expenses for the site over the last year. I actually list each sale in detail, although I only give the customers’ last name (all their info will be provided to the winner, of course.) Post a reply here and I will send you a link to the spreadsheet for your review. Ask questions publicly if appropriate so others can see the answers.

Conclusion: if you are a beginner I will definitely start considering this sort of offers (not those that take much investment), but if you are an experienced dropship entrepreneur I think you will consider this sort of offers (dropshipping toys) as an excellent chance to increase your portfolio of dropship projects to promote them using similar online marketing techniques.
