Post by: mr_roll on January 04, 2007, 20:00:07 PM
I bought 50 USB 2 cables from ebay in a bulk auction at 64p each I think it was a good buy :D.

They got delivered today, this is why I was after vacuum forming :D

yup, but there are still enough left over he could flog those on at Ã,£2 a time and people would snap them up. Fleece Me World will charge you an awful lot more than that.

I had a feeling it was something like that but didnt want to commit myself lest I be proved wrong. Even having had them try to charge me that much I still cant believe it!

What really sucks is when you need one NOW and end up having to pay them their Ã,£15 because you dont have time to order one from the net for pennys.

thanks for the offer good sir, I was referring to a previous incident some time ago when your phone number would have come in most handy (except of course at that point you hadnt just taken delivery of 50 USB cables, so Id still have been stuck! lol)

to re-sell I dont think you need to have them vacuum formed, especially if you are selling on ebay.

One of these clear plastic bags with a sealed top in a jiffy bag would be sufficient imo.

Are you really going to sell them or will you just end up never needing to buy another one ever again? (Thats what happened to my when I bought *LOTS* of great value decks of casino grade playing cards. )

A lot of Ã,£1 shops sell them too. The cheap ones arent worth Ã,£2 but if you can get it ;)

Ive reconsidered getting them vacuum formed, I think Ill just sell them on ebay, on my website store and maybe at a computer fair if I get there any time in the future.

Get a thermal Sealer and just a shedload of plastic bags. Seal the cable in a bag. Sorted.

lol then your sorted :D lol just sell them like that. You could get creative and find a cardboard thing to attach to the top of them advertising them and your business I guess.
