Re: good investment?

Sell each of them for about £200 each and youve made your money back plus all the spares you could sell could easily make your money back plus some on top

Re: good investment?

Looked at this yesterday -

At 230 per bike sale price (average between 190 for the small bikts and 250 for the bigger bikes etc)

That would be: 7590quid

+ 1500 for all the spares =

approx 9000 quid

- 65000 = 2500 profit

- 500 for 5 months container rental (need to store 33 bikes and parts)

-7% ebay and paypal fees per bike = -500

=1500 profit

say it takes you 2hrs to prepare/sell/collect/deliver/clean/store each bike then thats 66 hrs + another 50hrs to sell all the parts so thats approx 120hrs work. (over 6 months maybe).

1500 profit / 120hrs

= 12.50 per hr.

Which isnt too bad is it?

Depending how you want to do it you might also need product liability insurance, storage insurance, some tools, a van etc - which would eat into the profit.

But youd still make 1000quid +
