Yes, but I do it locally. Just think of three things people constantly need in your neighborhood that isn't around often, then sell it. Easier aid than done, but there is always something people want.
Retail is dying, but you can make a killing selling stuff on Craigslist. I literally pull stuff out of the trash can and sell it for $25-50 on a weekly basis. Last week it was a nice cd tower, this week it is a nice huge bookshelf.
Of course it is possible, do you care to elaborate on your question so we may know how to properly attempt to help you. Asking a yes or no when the obvious is yes isn't very helpful to you is it?
Of course its possible - every shop in the world does it! What you talking about exactly here - dropshipping, ebay?
Of course! I am selling jewelery now, working just fine ^^ (buying leather bracelets for 0,99$, selling for over 6$, I love it!)
I know a guy selling pet XXX's ... opps can't give it out. Anyhow he had to have his spouse quit her job then recently took on a part time helper to field support calls. So yes it is very possible. I suggest as one other person did sell goods that are in demand that can't be found at a local retailer. If you want to sell goods that can be found at a brick and mortar you will need an advantage like cheaper prices/free shipping. Why not take on affiliate marketing? You have a world of products at your finger tips!
Yes, I know a guy down the street who sells bread, milk, eggs, beer and other similar things... (Sorry, couldn't help it ^___^ )
definitely, I have a friend who make a killing selling physical stuff from amazon. it really open my eyes as usually the commission from amazon is small but with volumes, you really can make a great income..
