There are very few things that are low ticket and high yield in dollars. There are heaps of things that are low ticket high yield percentages, it costs $2 and sold it for $10, 400% margin but still only 8 bucks gross. If one cares to get into lower ticket high dollar yield one has to get into the product delisting channel. That generally requires a history therein, that means a reason to let you in the door and eBay ain't it, never has been as anyone can vend here. They either are already in the channel and come here or they've point of sale assets that are B2C be that brick and mortar, online stores, contracts with B2C venues. These also come with risk as they don't sell 10 sets of Klipsch delisted speaker pairs or last gen PC Motherboards. They sell 250, 500, 1000+ so the cash outlay is significant and thats risk. If dealing with "Middle men" who are in the delisting channels you're chunk is being at least halved to three quarters as they'll suck the lions share of profit in resale to you. A good portion of Walmarts success is embracing both the delist direct and middle men channels in their third parties.
For example, back in the day when PC Software was the in thing I was in the delisting as well as liquidations etc channels. That included even getting into Media Play, EB Games, Fry's, Circuit City back rooms and warehousing as they all went under. Now when The Learning Company was bought by Mattel, well after the stock holders fiasco (TLC fibbed about what stood in warehousing unsold) to Mattel. When that acquisition was taking place we'd order from TLC/Mindscape and often got twice what we'd ordered and were just told "Keep it." Nice.
Anyways, we offered into Mattels delist channel for toys and had no interest but you'd be astonished at the counts available, items, pricing but gotsta pay in. They're not wanting sell me 500 or 1000 Hotwheels, they want sell me 5000, 10,000 etc. but that last place they want that stuff appearing is in P2P venues such as say Amazon 3 P's, no, they want sell (consign) new product to Amazon. When we were with Onsale, uBid, iDeal on and on, "Oh by all means!" The prices on Hot Wheels for example were quantity based and as I recalls as low as .15 cents a unit albeit I cant recall minimal quantity for that cost.
