Where does eBay stock come from?

[espeed]

I always wondered...where on earth do sellers get their stuff?

They must get it cheap in order to sell below market value. Sometimes sellers only sell a line of clothing, or only sell Nike shoes, etc...

I'm really curious about this.

I can understand if RFDers were selling good deals they got, but I'm talking about sellers who can afford to sell at a lower price for long periods of time.

They buy in bulk or have tons of stolen goods

agreee,

They know wholesalers, such as me and my uncle we wholesalers Leather Goods, like gloves so my uncle sells umm made up prices 2$ a pair of gloves, then they sell it for around 10 to 20$ on ebay and make profit.. Etc.

Some of them work for that particular company. So they can get them at wholesale price (i.e. 50% of retail etc)

Some just steal..remember Fast and the Furious. The black civiccs who would rob trucks, that's what some people do.

One of my friends told me that a guy i knew would go to a certain warehouse of a certain store and literally take things, and sell or keep. >:(

[me!]

don't get any ideas, now....

i dont think thattt many items on ebay are stolen. Im sure they are there but some ppl make it seem like over half of is stolen :|

another reason why prices seem like they are stolen is b/c of how competitive Ebay is...
profits are only 10-15% which is considered successful on ebay.
