Opinions on starting an online business

Hi folks,
I would like your opinions or ideas on starting a small sideline business that could earn me a bit extra for the "Haushaltskasse" I think that eBay would be a good place to start but I cannot really think of anything to sell on there that someone is not already doing for way cheaper than I could do. I have heard of a system called drop shipping where the customer is sent the product via a third-party a bit like Amazon.com Does anyone know any good sites for doing this?

Drop shipping is where you are the middle man. This means that you find customers and take the orders and then you turn around and place the orders and the product never touches your hand. This game is played by many, but only won by the best salesmen in the world. Basically, you are an independent rep. This can be done via the web, but it takes work and lots of it.

Hi Eurovol you sound like a knowledgeable guy can you give any sites or tips as to where i can start doing this?

My best friend does this from his mountain hideaway on a peak in Colorado. However, he travels a lot and is damn good at this game cause he is a natural born salesman. Doesn't hurt that the fucker is also a part time model and actor. As I have recently been searching for things that would be perfect for a drop shipping business, I do know what is missing out there in the internet world. There is a niche to be filled with better than what is currently available.
For a teaser, think ACME products.

Female Road Runner Costume, Disintegrating Pistol, Atom Re-Arranger, Rocket-Powered Roller Skates, Strait-Jacket Ejecting Bazooka, and Giant Rubber Bands ???

That is it. Sell rocket powered roller skates on eBay and then send the idiots cheap ass roller skates with bottle rockets taped to them.

Hi Duscholux.

Please contact me if you have good knowledge about Internet (Google, web sites, finding customers).
I may have something for you.

Dont dare attempt to ship anything combustable. You might never be allowed on planes again.
