Man, having a good business model at a time like this with empty buildings left over from the dot com bubble has got to be sweet.

BTW, I love that guy who writes the descriptions. He's got an alltogether dry and absurdist sense of humor.

There's plenty of room for another similar business, but I think I think their buyers are simply some of the best in the industry. They must decide what to buy, how many, and what price to sell the items at, which is at the heart of what makes them successful imo.

They appear to still be a small company, but run by some brilliant people who are very experienced and excellent at what they do.

My business model doesn't require any buying, not even inventory overhead. I don't know why I haven't done it.

"Meet another one of our friendly employees, who is definitely not wanted in another state under an assumed name. "


Good PR campaign.
"Our employees are almost certainly not felons in this state."

The similarity stops at overstocks and unwanted items. And no, not drop shipments.
