Well you don't have to get too fancy... just get a warehouse and
hire one or two people to handle sales. It might cost less than
all the time you'll spend putting stuff online. I'd definitely
prefer to go and browse in person, because I'd be more likely to
find things I didn't even think I needed and come out with a
truckload (oh dear, just what I need, another truckload of junk).
Provided it's cheap enough, anyway. If it's the slightest bit overpriced,
or is only on the web, then it gets relegated in my mind to being a place
where I search when I need to find something specific which I expect to
be hard to find or that I can't afford to buy new. (And then, having
a web search capability would be nice, actually.) Sortof like Apache
Surplus... I like the way they do business, and you can find really
weird stuff there, but it's all overpriced. It's either gold plated
or ready for meltdown, with nothing in between.
Whatever doesn't sell, you can always put on ebay. If you sell it for
one penny and get the buyer to pay s&h, at least you don't have to
throw it out.
