    Well having focused on being a full time Amazon seller this year, everybody is buying stuff online except sledges (which luckily I dont have)

    Just as the pandemic kicked off, Amazon stopped taking non-essentials into their warehouse which meant I got stuck with loads and loads of toys at home and in the lockup. I immediately got a courier up and running and have been shipping out of the house for the past 5/6 weeks until Amazon opened up again.

    A week before lockdown I sourced 1500 Boxes of Latex gloves which made a nice profit and then last week I realised that people on facebook groups were asking for chalk as there was none in the shops. So I looked at my suppliers and on one website they had an advert for chalk with no pictures, so no-body had bought it.

    I bought the entire lot, three pallets, 1.5 tonnes of prime A grade childrens chalk for £3k which is now in the top 10 on Amazon & selling like hotcakes and will return me a £7k profit. £500 so far this morning and it's only 9.30

    Now I wonder what's going to replace the chalk?
    I have a fleet of Jaguar motor cars (£1.75 million the lot) and 2 Embraer jets (£10 million each) amongst other things (consignments of bicycles, treadmills and more) available on behalf of clients.

        And if you found you couldn't sell it, would you -chalk- it up to experience?

          No but it is possible I either know someone who does or can find you one

              I reckon I’ve got a few weeks to shift it all. Once lockdown ends and the kids are back to school no chalk rainbows or hopscotch in the street :-)
