Guitar picks, skateboards, lighters cheap online

[Giggan]

I'm trying out some ideas to see what's worth my time buying in bulk and selling in smaller portions on eBay. I've started out with guitar picks, and posted my first listing today. Play guitar? These are the best prices you'll find for the quantity (I'm selling packs of five) online.

Also, anyone want a 1st/1st of Hannibal by Thomas Harris?

Skateboard decks are looking quite profitable, and I used to skate and know how to spot junk, so I'll be getting into those soon. Lighters I'm playing with the numbers on right now to see if they can turn a profit. Once I get additional items online for sale, I'll post them in this thread.

If anyone has any ideas for potentially profitable items that are much more economical to buy in bulk than individually, I'd be interested to hear about it (unless you'd like to have the monopoly in that area ).

Most players I know are picky about their picks. 

I only use Dunlop Tortex, in about 3 different weights depending on which guitar or style I'm playing. I know others who only use the tiny little Fender Jazz, or the huge honkin' Gibson triangles (which are like playing with a deck of cards, IMHO).

At the low price point, you might not make a lot on the picks. But good luck with it!

Picks used to be a give away item.
