Now the next requirement is availability of component so you need to know that you're going to be able
to get the components for the bundle and you're going to be able to get in on a regular basis.
Now one thing to point out here is you can switch out components of a bundle.
So for example if you had a bundle like this and then you weren't able to get any more of these exact
same tote bags or you weren't able to get these exact same gloves anymore.
You can switch out for a different tote bag a different pair of gloves a different set of hand gardening
tools here so you can switch out components.
Now the only time you can't switch out components and change anything at all is if somebody else has
actually listed on your listing.
Now when you create a name brand bundles it's actually quite easy for somebody else to copy you and
create the same bundle and list it on your listing.
So with the name brand bundles if it starts selling really well.
So after a few months what might happen is somebody copies you.
That doesn't mean to say you can't do really really well in the meantime and it doesn't mean to say
that you you start making sales if somebody lists on your listing.
I've had people do that before and I still continue to get sales and they may have gone down a little
bit but it hasn't really bothered me too much saying that if you create a generic bundle like this one
is actually going to be much much more difficult for somebody to copy you.
All right so where do you get components well off line retail stores so you can go to offline retail
stores if it is something that is convenient for you if you don't live in a city or close to a city.
It may not be convenient for you.
Online retail stores of course we can all do that wholesale.
So you can buy components wholesale from domestic wholesalers.
And of course you can buy from places like Ali Expressen Ali Baba.
Also local stores.
You may have local stores that actually have local products.
So products are manufactured locally or products are quite unique and individual.
So local stores is another place you can also get some great bargains at local stores local markets
as well another place and local fairs deal sites.
So online deal size.
Now you must obviously buy new stuff.
You can't put used components into a bundle but in the UK for example you've got Gumtree in United States
you got Craigslist.
It is a big win for canada.
Can't remember the name of it just off the top of my head in Ireland here.
We have done deal.
So these are the big deal sites so in your country you will probably have something similar where you
can often buy items new items cheaply and even sometimes job loss or wholesale items that people are
selling off.
So deal sites is another good place to actually take a look.
And as I say you can't change you can swap out components.
You wouldn't want to make a different bundle but you can swap out the components for a substitute for
an alternative.
If you cannot actually get that exact same one again that's perfectly OK to do that as long as nobody
else has copied you copy your whole bundle made their own unlisted gave you a listing.
When we look at packaging a little later on I'm going to actually show you how to make that pretty much
really almost impossible for anybody to do.
And of course you can even look at Amazon and eBay for your individual items.
Now just a word of caution here if you are purchasing from Amazon so if you're purchasing individual
items components for your bundle from Amazon if you are a prime member you cannot use your account to
do this and that is because it is against the Amazon terms or conditions you are not allowed to use
a prime customer account to make business transactions.
All right so to all the things that are for reselling.
All right now I got a bit of a head of myself here we've already spoken about this so you can change
out the components if you cannot find the exact same item again except if someone has copied you and
listed on your listing and generic bundles.
As I said these are more difficult to copy the name brand bundles.
So sorry about that folks.
I did get a little bit ahead of myself but I'll see you in the next lecture.
