Well if I manage to get around to it. I will make it worth my while. I,ll prob bring in atleast 2 containers of running gear. not interested in panels. Then I will list prob on Ebay.


Easier said than done. At those prices you will almost certainly make a loss.

By the time you've sold your 5th or even 6th gearbox things will start to slow, and then you'll be forced to sell for cheap to try and recoup your costs. If you can afford to sell slowly, keeping the market value nice and high (and worthwhile for your sake) then you'll have to be prepared to sit on how many thousands of dollars before you see any of that money return within reasonable and worthwhile time-scales. Not to mention paying to store and hire 2 shipping containers over an extended period of time isn't as cheap as some might think.

A lot of people have tried this before, only a very very small handful were successful but even they had spells of being unable to sell stuff. Small scale is the only way to do it and even then it's poxy money.
