Surplus and Discount Computers
by Bonnie Archer
Surplus computer means that manufacturer excess, overstock, and slightly
obsolete inventories in huge quantities were purchased. What that
means for you, our customer, is truly remarkable discount computer
prices! These benefits and values of surplus computers were traditionally
available to only large volume commercial buyers, dealers, and corporate
level buyers. Also, discount computers are also sold retail so you
can get all the benefits too.
The sellers of surplus computers and discount computers are committed
to offering tremendous savings to you, the retail customer. Desktop
PCs, laptops, notebooks, barebones, whole computer systems, computer
accessories, everything in computers you can find in surplus and
discount computers.
Sometimes repackaged products are sold as surplus computers or
discount computers but they are always evaluated, tested and quality
assured, fully functional and repackaged for shipment. Sometimes sold as surplus computers or discount computers are
open Box products which are retested, quality assured, fully functional
and complete. The customer can expect original manufacturer packaging. Bonnie Archer is a successful author and publisher

Surplus Merchandise, the Direct Under Wholesale Source
by DR B James Bruno
The Austin Business Journal reported about a firm that ”buys and
resells merchandise that has been closed out, overstocked or discontinued…to
a wide range of retail outlets, from mom-and-pop shops to multinational
chains such as Wal-Mart..”.
Businesses everywhere struggle with changing buying habits,
business costs and government regulations.
Fads in clothing, toys, electronics, computers, furniture styles
and eating habits change. Consequently, new unsold merchandise
takes up warehouse space and ties up capitol.
Surplus liquidators buy inventories of unwanted, obsolete or
excess merchandise, often as low at .10 on the dollar, providing
a cash injection for the seller. This merchandise is then resold
at prices substantially below wholesale. One way to source surplus
merchandise is to search the Directory of U.S. Importers and
Exporters, available in many public libraries.
Purchased in small quantities these products can be retailed
or sold at auctions for substantial profit. And for the savvy
surplus finder a substantial payday can result.

The gas mask as we know it today evolved from inventions over time that
were intended for use by deep sea divers, firefighters and mine workers. A popular
misconception about the gas mask was that it was invented by Garrett A. Morgan
in 1914. Morgan’s invention didn’t resemble anything remotely like today’s mask
and was simply a hood with a breathing tube that hung to the floor so a firefighter
could draw breath from the lower, cleaner layers of air while fighting a fire.
It was later adapted for mine rescues where the tubes could be manipulated to
avoid flooded mine tunnels or gas filled pockets. The question of who invented
the gas mask is to this day not easily answered.WW1 definitely started the mass
production of modern gas masks designed to protect soldiers from chemical attack.
Without WW1
and the use of chlorine and mustard gas as a weapon by the German
Army, gas masks would have not have taken up such a prominent
place in the history of the world.
Here is a list of some of the inventions and patents issued
to a long line of gas mask inventors throughout history. In 1848
a US Patent was issued to one Lewis P. Haslett for a device constructed
to exclude smoke and other solid particles from the breathed
air and gas mask manufacturing began in earnest in the United
States. In 1854 Scottish chemist John Stenhouse invented a simple
mask that used charcoal to filter noxious gases. In 1871 and
1874 two British inventors produced devices that removed solid
particles and noxious gases from the air using a full hood over
the head and tubes connected to a canister of slightly pressurized
oxygen. In 1914 Garrett Morgan invented a device that gained
national prominence when it was used to rescue 32 mineworkers
trapped far beneath the surface in flooded mining caverns.
All of these devices came together on that fateful day in 1915
in France when chemical weapons were used on a large scale for
the first time. From that moment on, the gas mask was no longer
a safety device just for firefighters and mine workers. From
that moment on the gas mask was a crucial element in the fight
for freedom. Who invented the gas mask? You might say it was
necessity – after all, she is the mother of all invention.
Making The Most Money At Flea Markets
Over the last several years the flea market and swap meets have
become as American as apple pie. According to a recent issue
of
Swap Meet magazine, over 600 such functions are being held on
a
regular basis. Most of these are weekend affairs, but more and
more are operating every day of the week.
The biggest flea market of them all is the monthly affair held
on the grounds of the Pasadena Rose Bowl. Over 40,000 people
attend this function, with over 2000 "dealers" selling
their
wares. Another giant of the circuit is the one held each week
in San Jose - the famous San Jose Flea Market. It isn't unusual
for 25,000-30,000 people to visit this great function each and
every day, rain or shine. It is so popular and profitable for
the "dealers" that nearly 50% of the spaces are rented
on a
permanent basis. At timeS there is a one or two year waiting
list to get a permanent space.
Practically any item imaginable can be - and is - sold at these
affairs. Your author has visited several, and talked to
hundreds of dealers. The overall average NET INCOME seems to
be
around $125 per day. Some of the so-called "smart" people
are
earning as much as $500 per day. Most of the people sell two
days per week, while some travel and sell four and five days
a
week.
What to Sell
As mentioned before, almost anything can be sold at flea markets
and swap meets; however, some lines seem to outpull most of the
rest. I know one guy who has set up a regular route and
collects used spark plugs from dozens of service stations and
garages. He takes them home, soaks them in a cleaning solution
and then applies a spark plug sand blasting machine. He then
sorts them according to application and packages them according
to the size of the engine. You will find him every weekend at
the San Jose flea market, offering his products for $1.50 per
set. He tells me that he is usually sold out by noon every day
- which is all he wants to work anyhow. He averages about 100
sets - or $150 per day.
One of the most popular lines to sell is clothing: jeans,
blouses, shirts, skirts, etc. - both new and used. Shop the
Goodwill and Second Hand stores for your inventory. Also keep
an eye on your local newspaper for closeouts.
Other popular items are jewelry, auto parts, tools and used
books. As always, flea market shoppers are looking for a super
deal on anything they buy. So be sure to price your merchandise
below the retail price; the lower the price, the faster you'll
sell - dealing in volume will make your NET PROFIT higher!
$25,000 per year, working just three or four days per week, is
not unusual in this business.
One guy, an electronics engineer who was without a job, started
selling unusual novelty items at the flea market. Inside of
just five weeks, once he discovered what was selling at his flea
market, he was earning $500 per week - more than he earned at
his old job.
Perhaps one of the most profitable items to sell at flea markets
is used paperback books. It isn't unusual for a serious dealer
to earn over $200 per day selling this line. People will buy
books at all times of the year - nearly everyone reads
something. One such dealer is Willie Nelson, who earns his
full-time income selling books at the flea market. He spends
two days each week locating used books, and two days per week
selling them. On average Wilie sells over $300 worth of used
books each week, and his cost is less than $50 for the
merchandise, along with about $10 per week for the rental space.
The last time I visited a flea market I counted seven different
dealers specializing in used books, and all of them were selling
something. The largest dealer, with a giant selection, was
pricing his books at 25% of the cover price - and they were
selling like hotcakes. His cost for the books was about 5 cents
each. So you can see that his profits were excellent.
To conclude this section, remember, nearly anything will sell
at
flea markets and swap meets if the discount is large enough,
but
some items will sell faster than others. The big sellers are
clothing articles, auto parts, tools, jewelry, toys and used
paperback books. Later in this presentation I'll give you some
ideas that will be helpful in locating your merchandise at the
right price.
How to Sell
If you are selling other than hand-crafted items, most people
are looking for a real bargain. If an item sells for a dollar
in a store, you must be prepared to sell it for less, no matter
how new it looks.
If you have access to a public address system or a call horn,
use it! You have the added versatility of telling people what
you are selling even if they are too far away for you to see
what you have for sale.
When you set up your table, step in front of it to see if it
catches your eye. Don't forget bold signs, especially for the
smaller items you have for sale. Remember, most of your crowd
is just walking by, therefore, you must attract their attention
in some way, make them stop and look. Display racks can be used
for making your item look more expensive - and thus a better
bargain.
You might be able to make use of a rack on top of your car.
It
can carry things to and from the flea market and hold signs to
attract customers while you are there. Also, remember how you
packed the car. If you're outdoors, and it rains, you'll want
to repack your items in a hurry!
Prices have to be clear unless you intend to haggle. If you
decide to haggle, quote a price higher than what you expect to
sell for, and come down to the level of the price you have
decided your article is worth. It is generally not a good idea
to haggle over very low-priced items unless the customer wishes
to purchase an exceptionally large quantity of the item. If
you'd rather simply sell your items for a set price, make signs
that are easy to read from far away. Be sure to bring a marker
and extra paper in case you decide to raise or lower your prices
at any time during the day.
Things to Bring
Another person. This is very important. You will not want to
leave your table unattended while you go to the restroom or to
look at something on someone else's table. You'll also be glad
for the company if things get slow.
Plenty of change. You wouldn't want to lose a sale because you
couldn't change a given dollar bill, would you?
Be sure to bring chairs or something else to sit on. It can
be
a very long day if you have to stand.
Check to see if tables are provided or if you are expected to
supply your own. Make sure in either case that you have enough
display space so that your items are not hidden.
It is also a good idea to bring a thermos or cooler with drinks
and food to last you the day. Much of your flea-market profit
can be spent at the concession stand if you don't!
Check to see how much of an admission fee there is and be sure
to bring it. Also ask if there are any items that are forbidden
for sale.
One last thing: Get there early! At some eight o'clock
openings, for example, the lines start forming at five a.m.
Have a good time!
