Work From Home?
Yes. Initially whilst you buy and sell a handful of items each month it will be very easy to work this business from home, especially if the items you are buying are small. Only once you start to see that your sales of items are increasing you may start to look at holding stock at a warehouse or storage unit. Many people run this type of business part-time to make extra monthly revenue fairly easily.

Worked Example:
Get a sole trader business account set up with your local bank for free, take your first bank statement into your local Makro and ask for a membership application. They will process your application and give you a free membership card. Subscribe to the Makro Mail, which is sent out fortnightly. Scan through the magazine picking out the offers that look the most attractive, then compare them to the prices they typically fetch on gumtree and eBay. Circle the offers that appear to give you the most profit and head to your nearest Makro making sure you arrive there early – the best offers are gone by 10am normally. Stock up as much as you wish with the chosen items and get them listed for sale via eBay and Gumtree, plus wherever else you feel they would prove popular with potential customers. Aim to sell at a price of 30-50% more than you have paid at Makro wherever permitting competition-wise. Choose commercially popular products that are already in demand, and try to avoid the more niche areas that will not have as many people searching. It is better to sell lots of products at a lower profit, than just a small handful at a slightly higher profit.
