    Help me monetize my auction find from today. 3,100 1GB new flash drives with MP3

    I scored today. 3,100 of these.





    I'm already an established ebayer, so I will probably go that route with some of them. But want to consider my options for selling one big bulk shipment and taking a quick cash score. I have my numbers in mind for 1/3100/any qty in between. What would you price them at?

    It seems like a small box for 3100 flash drives of that size. I've never seen that kind either, with an audio jack instead of USB.

    I have 31 cases of 100 each. They have an audio jack on end that plugs into the female port on a car or docking station. The USB portion is under a cap on the other end.

    Nope, that's how they came. It was a big electronics company foreclosure sale. I just had a gut hunch about a pallet that was labeled "Lot of Assorted Items Including Assorted Metal hardware, Assorted Wire Harness, and more. ~ BANK SEIZED ~"

    I bid completely blind, figuring what I could get if it was all steel, and came up with a big win.

    They are flash drives, you plug them into the USB port on your computer, and you can store stuff on them, no cables needed. These also have the built in MP3 with LED screen.

    I'd say the main thing you need is info on em, in order to know how to list it. I'd also try in a lot of 100, ten day auction format, preset starting on friday afternoon about 1 or 130 eastern time. After 10 days you'll know what they'll bring, then just begin listing the other cases in a buy it now

    You could even try selling them to a discount store such as Big Lots, or even overstock.com.

    I think I'm gonna stick with eBay. I'm very close to Powerseller status as it is, this should push me over the edge. I found a guy selling 1GB USB dongles in lots of 50 for $130 + shipping. He's moved 4 lots in the last 3 weeks. At that rate, I'll clear, after fees, about $6,500 bucks, and it will take me 16 months to do it. Now I'm working on trying to figure out what my buyout number is if someone wants to take 3,000 at one time. I'm thinking right around $4,000, as I'm already an established eBayer (my wife makes us a cool $1k+ monthly on there from our normal auction finds).

    Make me an offer. Just sold 200 of them for $440+shipping . Found the buyer VIA eBay, and then managed to seal the deal outside of the site to save a few bucks.

    Silk screen your name and number on them. Give them away in the freebie bag at your local electronics conference.
