Without taking into account the time spent on looking for the best suppliers in terms of quality, brand names and price, without taking into account the time spent on packing and shipping, I now still have to calculate the total cost per piece inclusive of shipping and taxes, take at least 3 - 5 pictures of each item, crop 'em images, upload them to the WebStore (top priority), resize 'em images in the Store, list them with description, price and images, inform all who are in my customer database, list them on eBay Malaysia (2nd priority), list them on Lelong (3rd priority) after resizing 'em images (AGAIN!) and then list them on eight other market places. And then there's more paperwork to be done.
Did I forget to breathe?
Is the little profit worth all these trouble? If I were to calculate profits only, I'd say no. But it gives me a sense of achievement when I actually have buyers for the items. That's why I'm still in this line after two years. Haha!
This time, I am not going to give a stock overview in this blog. From experience, many people were confused when they do not see the pricing. They also want more information like size and such, without realising that they have to go over to my WebStore for all these. So I found myself explaining over and over again.
There's only six days to Christmas, I guess I can't have them online before Christmas. Oh well! I guess I'll just list the new stocks in my WebStore as soon as possible.
So, see you there!

New Stocks Have Arrived!
Unfortunately, I am so busy that I haven't even open it for 8 hours now already. Oh my, the amount of work!
