I'm thinking of getting into selling posters on ebay, good idea or no?
I'm a graphic designer and have some good niches with some bands and I think I can make some money.
I'm going to buy a good printer (about $200) some paper ($25) and some shipping tubes (about $75)
Should I do it? Any tips from anyone selling similar stuff on ebay?

>not realizing printer ink is fucking insane in price
Maybe you can design posters but printing and selling them is a terrible idea
>not knowing about injectable refillable ink
The cartridge prices are insane, but you only need to replace those once a month if it jams.
>$200
>Good printer
*Good printer for the price of $200
Why not order prints of your art and resell? Might work out better quality and cheaper
Because I'm assuming some products will sell more than others and I don't want to have shitloads of unsold posters laying around when I could just print them right then and there.
Alright, I'll just do what said and try my luck on ebay for a month. And if it goes well I'll buy the printer.
Good luck fellas.
Are you shilling mate?
You can get 11x17 prints at the fucking UPS store for 70 cents
>UPS store at 70 cents
So why are you talking about buying a printer then?
Also, no, you can not print 11x17 posters in 80# weight paper for 70 cents.
Also, UPS store charge you way more for shipping. Any known print-on-demand operator beat them on price.
I thought I'd help you out, but instead you wanna sperg out. Stay poor!
make a website maybe?
I buy posters from art posters and pay $10 per poster and $10 for shipping.
>Also, no, you can not print 11x17 posters in 80# weight paper for 70 cents
>Also, UPS store charge you way more for shipping
You can buy them for 70-90 cents each. No shipping charge.

lmao
final bump
...
I had the same idea, but I wanted to make old sheets, shirts, and other fabric into tapestries, what is the cheapest way to get started?
Find a place that does it cheap, try your luck on ebay for a while with some small inventory.
Then If it goes well then invest in a printer
>t. going off the advice from this thread
>not knowing how selling on stock image, freelance jobs sites work
Why spending capital at all when you can start it at $0? You deserve to be poor user
>it's a "poster that only gives you a sentence to go off of without any additional information then calls you an idiot episode"
I always skip these
What are the cheapest kind of places/printers that take people's sheets and fabrics and print their own designs?
You're gonna have to make your own thread on /wsr or Veeky Forums, or look up places in your area that offer that stuff.
Also I'm going to take a guess and you should ask your city's subreddit
...
If Veeky Forums isn't helpful in this thread, why would it be helpful in another, and request people will just tell me to gtfo to Veeky Forums.
>reddit
You have to go back.
nigger I'm trying to be helpful
Its not really that helpful to just say go ask someone else.
If you gave the name of your city then I would be able to help
Middle of nowhere between KC and St. Louis.
Why not design t shirts on tee spring and similar websites and shill on Facebook etc?
>got original post removed cause I was giving you a "rec"
>still a graphic designer that can't understand paper qualities
>still can't find a print-on-demand co that are cheaper than bloody UPS
Stay more poor
Are you gonna provide any links?
What do you think?
Also. Go to bed. It is 5AM in flyover-state-land.
