Many years ago, a local chain of electronic stores was being bought by TigerDirect. TigerDirect is now closed and has been since 2019. I'm not sure what the agreement was between the chain and TigerDirect, but I was able to get in on purchasing the chain's inventory at a huge discount, at 10ยข on the $1. I made several trips to their warehouse, buying $1000 worth of inventory for $100 USD.

I was able to buy several business network printers and copy machines. Each $1100 or more for $110 USD. eBay was fairly new and very popular at the time. So, I listed all my machines online. I listed all my inventory for auctions and sold everything within days. It all went well, and I sold everything at just about retail price, it was easy. Shipping was expensive since these machines were the size of small refrigerators.

A ping pong table on a Dutch kind of ebay and Nerf pistols. Weekend long oh I'm interested in the ping pong table. Great. Oh no it's too small. Saw another one. On and on. For what? 75 euro and they wanted it cheaper. I thought: You know what? Bye. I just keep it. Now I'm glad I didn't sell it cause they like to play it again. And the Nerf pistols. One boy said 10 euro. Yes hello. Also just kept them and now 2 years later they play with em again with their friends. I like to buy stuff there. I just offer what they ask and they're always happy with that and it goes quick. I hate trying to pay a cent less. Just give me the price. But selling no way too much fuzz. Oh tickets I sold once for some park. That was easy. Just via internet.
