Well, dry goods are a solid investment. fish are a little more risky due to the fact that they could die on you.
There is no way to make money selling live fish on line. When the wholesalers & importers start selling direct to the public, it makes it difficult. The buyer are soo spoiled with the low-ball prices. The wholesalers make little profit, then they price war with themselve, its not worth it. As for dry good, thats very challenging. The sellers sell stuff soo ceap, almost next to cost. Its like they just like to sell stuff for the heck of it. I saw on E=bay, fluval FX-5 for $175(new), thats less then cost for most retailer. My LPS sells it for $299.99. When I first started selling fish on line, there were a few good sellers, Wes, Jon Rare, Anthony, Toyin, thats it. The fish were good and there was really no low-balling. Today , fish come in on a sunday, there up for sale that night & these guys are selling asap, fish good, bad, eating or not. Its very different these days
let me give you a few examples
Jardini arowana...$17.50

mystus wyckii..small ..$5
mogunda goby..$2.50

Im really not trying to be a prick. But you must make some money. There's no way you'd be a vendor if you were losing money right? And yea TFD is real close to the line, I cant argue with that, but they dont get every type of fish, and he aint selling real rare stuff there.....
