I bought them myself.

I’ve screwed up and missed one gold plated business decision recently and I can’t screw up another.

So 50k for £50k with £6k moving costs and a deal with a warehouse / fulfilment / FBA feed company.
Currently selling for £20 to £99 each and I’m tempted to sell them all for £20 until I get my investment back then raise the price gradually.

Watch this space!

So they cost £1.12 each after moving, what does the warehouse, fulfilment and shipping cost you, and Amazon’s cut of a £20 sale, if you don’t mind me asking? Just interested in the numbers.

£1.12 yes after moving, 40% goes to storage / shipping / CS partner after platform costs which varies depending on Shopify, TT, Amazon or eBay.
Currently they are discounted at £20/£25/£30 and £99 ish and I did 30 over the weekend from home.
