Hi, I have some fur farm questions if you don't mind answering.

I've seen you mention that Sapphire is questionable. Why is that? Is it bc of the bleeding and CHS? If so, is Mansfield's Pearl also questionable to breed? And can CHS or bleeding issues be bred out or are they inherently part of the color?

On that note, do you have information on other color mutations that are linked to health issues?

Lastly, how does one get into fur farming? It seems really expensive to set up and buy all the foxes, and I struggle to find fur farms to follow online bc of how taboo it is let alone finding farms to buy live stock from, especially of rare mutations. Is finding farms to buy from more of a word of mouth + trust thing? And is mentorship of new farmers a thing or is fur farming too competitive for established farmers to want to do that?

Bonus: feel free to talk about your favorite mutations or anything else you wanna share.

Hi!

Yes Sapphires seem to all carry genetic illnesses. Some look to be only mildly affected, I’ve been following a few foxes friends of me carefully bred after they discovered some of their Pearls are Mansfield Pearls. So far the animals look to be doing ok, so it’s surely not a death sentence.

However I fear not all farms will be so careful about their breeding or using unhealthy animals because they want to get that special color. You’ve probably seen or heard about Mouse, the Sapphire fox Save a Fox bought from Northern Fox and Fur (a fur farm) several years ago.

Sadly Mouse did have severe CHS and had to be euthanised. There are very strong suspicions the farm bred “special needs” animals so the rescue could profit from the sob stories. Eventually Save a Fox bought out the whole farm. As of today it’s still about half filled with foxes because they can’t place the animals anywhere. Every rescue is full.

Mansfield Pearl alters the way in which blood behaves, foxes of this color seem very prone to excessive bleeding. I acquired this female Pearl Cross (suspected Mansfield Pearl Cross) “secondhand” a few years ago from the US. From what I see in the picture, it’s not a place I want to support. However this girl had already been culled for killing her whole litter of pups. When my tanner skinned the fox, they found that the bones were super weak and easy to snap. The skin had an unusual amount of bloodvessels and also the gums and teeth were quite funky. I’m still waiting for the cleaned skull.

In red foxes there’s not that many bad mutations luckily. Pale eyed foxes do experience sensitivity to the sun, we’ve seen them squint in direct sunlight. Mixing Whitemark/Ringneck/Platinum/Georgian (Snow) creates a lethal effect in homozygous form. Platinums can be anemic but it does seem to be worse in certain breeding lines than others. There’s probably others I’m forgetting but sadly there’s not much research being done anymore.

Finding a farm to work with is very hard nowadays. I somehow got myself a contact 5-6 years ago and it’s snowballed from there. The number of farms is very low now though, many of my own contacts have decided to stop farming because it’s essentially two full time jobs for the pay of half a job.

At least here in Europe it’s pretty much impossible to start up your own farm unless you have serious cash. No bank will want to provide you a loan because there’s little money to be made in the industry. Mutation foxes are very rare, most of what is produced is mink fur, arctic fox fur (‘bluefox’) and some raccoondog fur. You’ll find some Silver and Gold fox, but even those pelts are currently being sold in bulk at rock bottom prices to overseas buyers.

A picture of a Smokey Platinum pup for those who read this whole thing lol. This is a newer mutation for us, last year we had one male and this pup is one of his. Can you see the differences between this cage vs the one the female Pearl Cross lived in (she could barely turn around)? The cage in the background gives a better view of the size. There is also a nest box attached.

Bún sườn nướng chay (Vietnamese rice noodle salad)

This is a vegetarian ("chay") version of bún gà nướng, a Vietnamese rice noodle ("bún") salad with grilled chicken ("gà nướng"). Chewy rice noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs, and a tangy, slightly spicy sauce combine with grilled or pan-seared 'chicken' to create a rich, flavorful, well-rounded dish. A marinade of lemongrass, sugar, garlic, and vegetarian fish sauce caramelizes around the 'chicken' as it sears, creating a sweet-and-savory crispy coating that perfectly complements the bright, herbacious salad. This dish can be made with Vietnamese sườn non chay, or with any meat substitute you have on hand.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

For the nước chấm (dipping sauce):

1/2 cup water

Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1/4 cup vegan fish sauce

3 Tbsp sugar

1 red chili (de-seeded and sliced)

3 cloves garlic, minced

Fish sauce doesn’t take “like” fish, merely fermented and intensely salty. You can buy a bottle of ready-made vegan fish sauce from a Southeast Asian brand such as Au Lac, or you can make your own by combining the following ingredients:

For the vegan fish sauce (nước mắm):

3 Tbsp liquid from a jar of fermented bean curd

1 Tbsp white miso paste

1 Tbsp light soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

For the chicken (gà):

300g vegan chicken substitute (I used Gardein), or 100g sườn non chay

2 cloves garlic

1 stalk lemongrass (or substitute lemon zest or a bit of preserved lemon pulp)

Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)

1 Tbsp vegan fish sauce

1 Tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce

1 Tbsp Vietnamese soy sauce

2 tsp vegetarian 'chicken' broth concentrate, or bột nêm chay (optional)

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp neutral oil

Sườn non chay may be found in bags online or at your local Asian grocery–the bags will be labelled “sườn non chay” as well as “vegan meat slice,” “textured soy bean protein,” “vegetarian food,” or “vegan food.”

Bột nêm is a Vietnamese seasoning sold in powder or granule form. Vegetarian (“chay”) versions of the seasoning may contain shiitake mushroom, lotus seeds, carrots, tomatoes, and kohlrabi, as well as salt and MSG. It can be purchased in pouches or boxes from an Asian grocery store, or you can use any other vegetable stock powder.

For the salad:

300g vermicelli rice noodles

2 cups bean sprouts

1 large carrot (julienned)

1 seedless cucumber (julienned)

6 leaves romaine lettuce (julienned)

1 bunch fresh cilantro

1 bunch fresh rau răm (Vietnamese mint), or mint

2 stalks green onion, sliced

Handful of peanuts

Fresh Vietnamese herbs can be found in the refrigerator section of an Asian grocery store, particularly one that specializes in southeast Asian food. You can also experiment with whatever leafy herbs you have on hand.

Instructions:

For the chicken:

1. (If using sườn non chay:) soak meat slices in cool water until rehydrated. Squeeze out excess water and cut each slice in half along its shortest dimension, to get two blocks of the original height and width.

2. Slice lemongrass. Peel away any tough, dry outer leaves to reveal the yellow-green leaves within. Remove the root end of each stalk, as well as the tough green portion at the top of each stalk (reserve this latter to boil in stocks). Thinly slice the tender yellow portion of each stalk.

3. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Marinate chicken for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the nước chấm and vegetables.

4. Remove the chicken from the bowl, leaving any excess marinade behind. Heat a couple teaspoons of oil on medium in a large pan then sear the chicken, turning once, until deeply golden brown on both sides (or use a charcoal grill). (If using a pan) filter marinade to remove lemongrass slices, then pour extra marinade over the chicken and cook, stirring often, until coated.

5. Cut chicken into strips, or as desired.

For the nước chấm:

1. Mix vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Remove from heat and add minced garlic and chili. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.

For the salad:

1. Boil the vermicelli according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water to halt cooking. Toss with a little bit of neutral oil to avoid sticking.

2. Roast peanuts in a dry pan on medium-low, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant.

3. Julienne carrot, cucumber, and lettuce. Roughly chop herbs.

4. Plate vermicelli followed by vegetables, herbs, chicken, and peanuts. Spoon some nước chấm over the salad and set remainder to the side to serve.

imagine the family all play neopets or club penguin or some other mid-2000s online game site. do they all use the same one? different ones? what ones appeal to them? what do each character do when its time for them to use the Family Computer? bonus: what default windows xp icon is their account labeled

NEOPETS LET'S PUT THEM ON NEOPETS!!!!

odile is rich as fuck because she plays the stock markets, plus she manages her item shop quite well (she has premium). she uses her excessive neopoints to buy paintbrushes for bonnie! she likes aishas and ixis the best.

bonnie has many side accounts bc they're on a quest to collect all the coolest paint colors. they love to fight in the arena too, and play the flash games! their fave neopets are hissi, eyrie, and lupe, and their fave paint colors are chocolate, darigan, and fire.

mira roleplays!! she has the fanciest html pages for each of her beloved neopets, esp her pastel cybunny, but she also does a bunch of non-neopet-related roleplays. she's in a guild for vampire roleplay!

siffrin only has two pets, a starry kacheek and a starry acara. they have like two dozen daily tasks bookmarked, like getting the free omelette, spinning the wheel, looking at one page of random shops, etc. he doesn't do much else on the site, he just likes the routine of taking care of his pets, and collecting odd items!

isabeau is an altador cup guy! he's loyal to one medicore team, and has very specific strats to get his team the most points he can. he does some stock markets too, and plays cheat. he has a bori fursona, and likes dressing up his neopets!

odile is in charge of computer time. usually it's mira and bonnie who fight over it, but bonnie can start and stop their tasks easily while mira leaving a roleplay means leaving the roleplay. isabeau could play all day but doesn't fight to get a turn. and siffrin only really wants to play once a day for twenty minutes anyway. so usually it goes something like odile first before everyone else is up, then bonnie, isabeau, bonnie, siffrin, bonnie, isabeau, then mira for the entire afternoon.

odile also does crosswords and sudokus and is part of a couple long-running irc chats. bonnie is on club penguin, runescape, flash game websites, and meme websites. mira has accounts on a couple fan forums, and her own mutli-fandom website. siffrin doesn't really understand how websites work. isabeau wiki-crawls and helps bonnie with runescape tasks.

assuming i found the correct windows xp icons (i grew up with macs lol): odile is the green water drop thing, bonnie is the bike jumper, mira is the froggy toy, siffrin is the ducky toy, isa is the fish.

Corporations pay their CEOs extravagantly while trying to cheat on taxes.

It would be one thing if, alongside the exorbitant executive pay, the quality of American CEO-ing was going up. But these executives are making off with bigger bags of boodle despite their persistent incompetence: Media executives keep running their businesses into the ground, tech firms are laying people off because of vibes, the planes keep nearly crashing, and examples of insane eye-popping greed—like Rite-Aid’s decision to claw back severance paid out to laid-off workers on the same day they handed their CEO a $20 million bonus—keep on coming. So it may come as no surprise that there’s a robust connection between the overindulged CEOs and the firms that are most flagrantly dodging their fair share of taxes. For a report released Wednesday, the Institute for Policy Studies teamed up with Americans for Tax Fairness to spelunk into the balance sheets at some of America’s best-known tax scofflaws between 2018 and 2022. What they found was pretty consistent: The firms took home high profits and lavished their top executives with exorbitant pay, all while stiffing Uncle Sam. The excess is stunning. “For over half (35) of these corporations,” the study reports, “their payouts to top corporate brass over that entire span exceeded their net tax payments.” An additional 29 firms managed this feat for “at least two of the five years in the study period.” Eighteen firms paid a grand total of zero dollars during that five-year span, 17 of which were given tax refunds. All in all, the 64 companies in the report “posted cumulative pre-tax domestic profits of $657 billion” during the study period, but “paid an average effective federal tax rate of just 2.8 percent (the statutory rate is 21 percent) while paying their executives over $15 billion.” Which firms are the worst of the worst? You can probably guess the company that tops the list because it’s the one run by The New Republic’s 2023 Scoundrel of the Year. During the five years of the study, Tesla took home $4.4 billion in profits as CEO Elon Musk carted off $2.28 billion in stock options, which, since his 2018 payday, have ballooned to nearly $56 billion—a compensation plan so outlandish that the Delaware Court of Chancery canceled it. Tesla has, during that same period of time, paid an effective tax rate of zero percent through a combination of carrying forward losses from unprofitable years and good old-fashioned offshore tax dodging.

Elon Musk is either the world's richest or second richest person. But he still wants more. Give him credit for pathological greed.

In all fairness, Musk is not alone when it comes to enriching himself while screwing workers.

What sort of innovations have these CEOs wrought from this well-remunerated period? T-Mobile’s Mike Sievert presided over the Sprint merger that led to $23.6 million in stock buybacks and 5,000 layoffs. Netflix’s Reed Hastings poured $15 billion in profit into jacking up subscription rates. Nextera Energy has devoted $10 million in dark money in a “ghost candidate scheme” to thwart climate change candidates. Darden Restaurants has been fighting efforts to raise the minimum wage. Metlife has been diverting government money meant to fund low-cost housing into other, unrelated buckraking ventures. And some First Energy executives from the study period are embroiled in a corruption scandal that’s so massive that even Musk might find it to be beyond the pale.

These oligarchs are going to spend lavishly to elect Republicans who would give them even bigger tax breaks.

Fortunately, they can't literally buy votes. If we return to old school grassroots precinct work then we can thwart the MAGA Republican puppets of billionaire oligarchs.

One to one contact is a more important factor than TV or online ads in convincing people to vote your way. It takes more effort, but democracy was not built by slacktivism in the first place.

Investing 101

Part 5 of ?

How to select a Broker/Advisor

Beth's brother works in the Investment Advisor industry, he's not a broker himself, but he recommended a local broker from his national firm. I liked his recommendation because we wanted the security of using a broker from a large firm. Large firms have sophisticated compliance organizations which monitor the trades of their brokers to ensure they aren't churning (buying and selling excessively to earn fees). The firms also ensure that the brokers are licensed, etc. and the firms have secure, convenient online and mobile tools. If you don't have a relative in the business, ask your friends, your parents, your boss. You might want to ask the firm that manages your company's 401K.

Twenty years ago we met/interviewed the broker who was recommended by Beth's brother and we liked him. More importantly, we felt like we could trust him. He asked about our life goals, tolerance for risk, etc. and we felt like his style could match our style. He was a bit older than us, old enough to have experienced several economic cycles. We weren't looking for a guy who was going to call us once a week with a hot tip. We wanted rational, long term investing of a diversified portfolio which would grow to fund our children's college education and our retirement.

Selecting an investment advisor is a little like choosing a psychic (though I don't believe in psychics). You're looking for an advisor who is smart and successful, but let's face it, if he was really an investing savant, he'd be early-retired, relaxing on a beach or golf course instead of slogging out a 9-5 office job managing other people's money. Likewise, someone who was really psychic would have bought the winning lottery ticket years ago.

As much as anything else, an investment advisor helps keep his/her clients from doing something stupid. Beth and I are a perfect example of a couple who has invested broadly in the market and done well, mostly because we haven't done anything stupid. That's not to say every investment has been a winner, but we've cut those losses when we necessary.

Beth and I also have a very conservative view of what it means to do well with our investments. Frankly we have low expectations. We want to earn a few % points more than inflation over the long term. Ideally our portfolio (after paying the investment advisor's fees) will at least match or even slightly exceed the performance of the broader market, but probably not by much. If we see that the performance of our portfolio is beating the overall market by a lot, we assume there's probably something wrong we should fix - we are probably invested in something which the rest of the market thinks is too risky. Likewise, if our performance is lagging the market, we're probably invested too conservatively. We don't trade options, we don't buy meme stocks and a 'guaranteed return' like Bernie Maddoff would instantly make us suspicious.

Whether you invest through a broker/advisor or you do it yourself, the key, in my opinion, is to have a broad portfolio and never stop saving and investing. Don't try to time the market - i.e. pause your investing because you think the market is weak and instead decide to wait until the market starts to recover. I have no idea what the market is going to do next week or next month or next year. But I'm pretty confident that in 5 years it will be higher than today and 5 years from now I will wish that I'd invested today.

This concludes my prepared remarks - what questions do you have?

[literaticat]

Is there a way to find out online if a publisher (i.e. a small press) has bookstore distribution or is just POD/available online? I know you can email the publisher and ask or look in local bookshops, but I was wondering if there's a way to check ourselves? I know most POD books are available on various online sites to order (and I think most can be ordered in from bookstores?) but can we check to see if they're on the shelves of any bookstores (especially in a country we're not in).

Woof a lot to unpack here.

So for those who don't know, POD means "Print On Demand." Sometimes a publisher will produce their books POD rather than regular offset printing. Regular printing (ie, large quantities) is quite costly, and you end up with A LOT of books -- obviously a very small publisher will not need 20,000 copies (or whatever) of a given book, or have a place to PUT that many copies, so though POD is technically more expensive per unit, you only get the number of books you actually need, and you can get more at any time, and you don't have to figure out how to warehouse a bunch of excess stock. So for a bigger publisher that has warehouse space and distribution and will move a fair number of copies, offset printing is the logical, much more cost-effective answer -- for a tiny publisher, or for a very small print run, POD may be the answer.

The thing is -- POD books can look exactly like regular books. Yes, sometimes self-published or small press POD books DO look like shit -- but they don't actually HAVE to look like shit, that shit-look is because of the choices the publisher made. Here's a fun fact: Major publishers sometimes use POD technology and you would literally NEVER know the difference! Like let's say you have a major-major-major bestseller -- the new Michelle Obama book just dropped, and they published a half a million copies, but it just wasn't enough, bookstores are clamoring for it, customers are clamoring, and the next boat full from Malaysia isn't coming for three more weeks. You need this book NOW! Well -- you can have Ingram or a similar country do a quick print run to fill the gap. It will be pricey - but it CAN be done quite quickly in the US, and look identical to the Hardcover version coming from Malaysia, and be in bookstores by early next week to cover this demand.

SORRY TO GO OFF, I know that in no way answered your question, it just felt like important info to have - POD is just a technology / tool, it is not inherently "bad" or anything. More relevant:

I think it depends on the country. I can only answer this for the US, I really don't know what tools other country may have (but I'd assume that they would be in the language of that country, anyway) -- for the US, you have a couple options:

-- look on the publisher's website. They should indicate if they have 'distribution partners' or 'distrubuted by xyz'. (They might not always! But that's where I'd probably start!) - also just like, EYEBALL the books. Do they look attractive? Are there buy-links to more than just Amazon? Are they available as hardcover, paperback, or only ebook, or what? Do they seem to be high quality, and of a normal price-point?

-- look up the publisher on Edelweiss. (you will need to sign up for an account). This is the online database of publisher catalogues that bookstores in the US use to order from. Basically -- if the publisher doesn't have a catalogue on edelweiss, they are unlikely to be getting into bookstores, and are not even trying.

-- unfortunately, looking a book up on Amazon or Bookshop.Org or even an indie bookstore's website isn't particularly helpful -- because pretty much ANY book that has an ISBN can be ordered from Amazon, Bookshop.Org, or special ordered from B&N or an indie bookstore. So you can't tell what book is actually on what bookstore shelves without looking up the stores. If you want to do that, though, you can -- bigger bookstores will probably have their in-store inventory available online. So let's say you look up a book on BN.com -- set it to "pick up in store" and then put in a zip code and it will tell you which stores within a hundred miles of that zip code have the book actually in stock. (This data is sort of meaningless though, because LOTS of books might not be on a given bookstores shelves right now - that doesn't mean they can't be, or they weren't before, or they might not be in the future!)

Hope that helps!

[naritaren]

I know I should hit up another craft show next weekend, but I've been doing them every weekend for the last month and I'm tired. Here is a run down of what goes into it. Yesterday: I spent 3 hours sorting items, checking my point of sale system versus my online store, counting stock, and checking for any imperfections. Then, we had to haul shit to the car and drive 30 minutes away to set up. When we got there, we realized that they gave us a large booth by mistake and we could bring more shit that we didn't bring the first time. Today: I was up at 6am and had to hustle to pack up what was left and then haul that to the car. We had to wrangle the dog and shove her in her kennel so we could be there for set up. Set up was from 7am to 9am. We left around 7am. We didn't stop for food or coffee because the roads aren't great so we wanted to just make it safely. We get there at 7:45 and we have to haul shit out of the car and into the venue and to the booth. While my partner is parking the car in the back, I'm starting to set things up and make an attempt at making things look good. He finally shows up and redos the whole table because I'm *bad* at this. While he's fixing my mess, I'm setting up displays, making sure the point of sale system is working, and putting up my signs. At 9am, everything starts. This is where I have to start hawking my shit. I have to put on my "normal person" mask the whole day and do my best to be a retailer. This is a good time to note that I worked retail once, while in college, and I took the food service route for my minimum wage job in high school. So selling shit? Not easy for me and my tism. I *finally* got to eat something at noon. I'm sitting there chugging energy drinks and crocheting, stopping to explain my process and show off things. This goes until 3pm. We then have to tear everything down, fetch the car, haul shit to the car, and head home. Once we're home, we have to haul some of the shit inside (the tote with the money box and the technology bag) and then I have to sit down on my computer and cross reference my sales report with my online shop to take out anything that sold during the day. I also have to look over what I earned and figure out what supplies I need to buy to prepare for the next show. I also have to count my cash box and take out the excess and take it to the bank on Monday. It's 6pm and I just finished everything related to the show that I'm going to do today (still need to order some stuff) and I haven't eaten since noon. I squeezed a shower in between hauling shit in and doing the numbers shit. I'm tired and I don't currently have a show booked for next weekend. I know reasonably I should get one so that I can make bank on the holiday rush, but I have a show on the 17th and I would like one fucking weekend to celebrate my birthday. Next weekend is the weekend before my birthday so I think I'm taking it off to relax.

As a bonus, here is what my booth looked like once my partner got done organizing things. I made a decent amount today and was able to get a big yarn order ordered and a proper display rack that spins with what I earned. Plus a little extra for whatever. I'm going to have an edible, watch opening night of lacrosse, and eat some pork fried rice that my partner is cooking up. Maybe nooj afterwards.

Are nicotine pouches safe to use? Nicotine pouches eliminate many harmful chemicals found in cigarettes since they do not involve combustion or tobacco. However, nicotine itself is still addictive and can have negative health effects.

What can nicotine pouches do to your mouth? Nicotine pouches can cause oral irritation, gum recession, and other dental issues when used excessively.

Are nicotine pouches more harmful than cigarettes? Generally, nicotine pouches are considered less harmful than cigarettes because they lack tar and other toxic chemicals produced by burning tobacco. However, the long-term effects of regular nicotine use are still a concern.

However, users should remain aware of the health risks associated with nicotine consumption and ensure they comply with local regulations.

Exploring the World of Designer Brand Drop shipping: A Lucrative Opportunity

In today’s digital age, e-commerce is not just a trend but a thriving industry. Among the various business models emerging, designer brand drop shipping stands out as a lucrative and compelling opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to break into the fashion world without the hefty overhead costs. But what exactly is designer brand drop shipping, and how can it benefit you? Let’s dive into this exciting avenue and uncover its potential.

What is Designer Brand Drop shipping?

Retailers can utilize drop shipping as a retail fulfilment approach to avoid keeping inventory for the products they sell. Rather, everything a store sells is something it buys directly from a third party and delivers to the customer. Designer brand drop shipping follows this same model, but with a focus on high-end, luxury fashion brands.

Why Consider Designer Brand Drop shipping?

Low Initial Investment:

   One of the biggest advantages of designer brand drop shipping is the minimal upfront investment. Unlike traditional retail models that require you to buy inventory in bulk, drop shipping allows you to sell high-end designer items without investing a large sum of money upfront. This significantly lowers your financial risk and makes starting a designer brand drop shipping business more accessible.

Wide Range of Products:

   Partnering with designer brands offers an extensive range of high-quality products. Whether its luxury handbags, couture clothing, or exclusive footwear, you can offer your customers a diverse selection of sought-after items. This variety not only enhances your store’s appeal but also caters to different tastes and preferences.

No Inventory Management:

   Managing inventory can be a complex and costly aspect of retail. With drop shipping, you avoid the headaches of inventory management and warehousing. Your suppliers handle stock levels and order fulfilment, allowing you to focus on marketing and customer service.

Flexibility and Scalability:

   Designer brand drop shipping offers flexibility in terms of location and operation. You can run your business from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Additionally, scaling your business is easier since you don’t have to worry about expanding your physical inventory or dealing with excess stock.

How to Get Started with Designer Brand Drop shipping

Research and Select Your Niche:

Sainsburys shoppers rush to buy Shark vacuum slashed to 100 from 300 in clearance sale

SAINSBURY’S shoppers have rushed to buy a Shark vacuum slashed from £300 to £100 in a clearance sale. If you want to leave your home clean and fresh this summer you’ll need to be quick before shelves are empty. 1 Shoppers were quick to rush to Sainsbury’s after a bargain was foundCredit: Facebook/B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals One customer recently spotted the handy hoover in their local Sainsbury’s branch. They posted a photo of the steal on the B&M Bargains, Extreme Money Saving Deals group on Facebook. They said: “Not sure if allowed but Sainsbury’s better then half price shark hoovers.” Customers could save 66 per cent on the Shark hoover if they bought it on sale with savings of £200. The post has notched up over 460 Likes and almost 500 comments from shoppers keen to snap up the bargain item. Viewers were stunned that the £300 vacuum was going for just £100 and took to the comments section to weigh in with their opinions. One commented: “Best hoover I’ve had..far better than Dyson.” While another said: “That’s what I need!” However, other social media users were sceptical of the vacuum. A user wrote: “Don’t waste your money this one is not good.” Another agreed and called the product the “worst hoover I have ever had”. Do bear in mind that when prices are reduced by this much it’s usually in order for stores to clear excess stock, so availability will vary from store to store. It’s always best to phone ahead to your local shop to check what they have available to avoid disappointment. You can find your nearest Sainsbury’s store using the locator tool on the website. It always pays to compare prices so you know you’re getting the best deal. Prices can also vary day to day and by what deals are on at the time, plus remember you might pay for delivery if you’re ordering online. Sainsbury’s has been ramping up savings on its products this summer. Recently, shoppers were shocked after they found a posh ready meal marked down from £6 to 10p. The meal in question was bought at her local Doncaster Sainsbury’s before the best before date. Elsewhere, Argos, which is owned by Sainsbury’s has also been offering savings this summer. Shoppers went crazy for a children’s Chad Valley Easel set marked down to £34.50 from £115. How to shop for bargains When hunting for a deal it is important to shop around to make sure you are not being over charged. There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to. Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers. For example, Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy also logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Source link via The Novum Times

Liquidation pallets can be a profitable venture for those who know how to flip them correctly. - 2. Finding reputable suppliers and understanding the costs involved is crucial for maximizing profit. - 3. Effective selling strategies, pricing techniques, and inventory management are key to successful pallet flipping. What Are Liquidation Pallets and How Do They Work? Liquidation pallets consist of collections of returned items, excess inventory, and, in some cases, defective products, which are packaged together for resale, typically through liquidation companies or auction websites. These pallets encompass a wide array of products, ranging from electronics to household goods, depending on their source and the specific terms of the sale. It is essential for potential buyers to understand the various types of liquidation pallets available. One notable category is manifest pallets, which include an inventory list that details the contents, facilitating the assessment of the items' value. Buyers should also be aware of returned items and overstock goods as part of their acquisition strategy. Buyers should also familiarize themselves with different product categories, as the condition of the items—whether new, refurbished, or damaged—significantly impacts their resale value. Liquidation pallets may be sourced from retailers aiming to clear outdated stock, manufacturers with surplus inventory, or online auction platforms. The condition of the returned items can vary greatly, and it is important for individuals to recognize that not all products may be suitable for resale, which could affect their potential profit margins. Benefits of Flipping Liquidation Pallets and Sourcing Low-Cost Inventory Flipping liquidation pallets offers several advantages for entrepreneurs seeking to enter the e-commerce sector, particularly regarding profit potential and access to cost-effective inventory. This venture is particularly appealing for those looking to buy liquidation pallets and resell them for profit on online marketplaces. By strategically sourcing liquidation stock from reputable suppliers and comprehending the resale value of various products, sellers can substantially enhance their profit margins while adhering to seller guidelines that promote a successful flipping enterprise. How to Find Reputable Liquidation Pallet Suppliers Identifying reputable liquidation pallet suppliers is essential for individuals seeking to establish a successful business in flipping liquidation pallets. By conducting comprehensive market research and exploring a range of liquidation websites, entrepreneurs can pinpoint reliable companies that provide quality merchandise and transparent sourcing options. Supplier identification is a critical step in this process, ensuring a reliable source of inventory. It is imperative for individuals to evaluate customer reviews and ratings to assess the experiences of previous buyers, as these insights can indicate the credibility of a supplier. Understanding how to effectively evaluate the offerings of potential suppliers facilitates more informed purchasing decisions. By analyzing trends and pricing within the liquidation market, aspiring business owners can discover wholesaling opportunities that align with their specific needs, thereby ensuring they select the most suitable suppliers for their operations. A well-researched approach ultimately fosters the development of beneficial relationships with trustworthy suppliers, laying the groundwork for success in leveraging liquidation pallets. Where to Buy Liquidation Pallets When considering the purchase of liquidation pallets, various platforms and websites present a wide range of options, including auction sites and specialized liquidation websites. Notable choices include Bulq.com, BStock, and Direct Liquidation, as well as consumer-to-consumer platforms like eBay and Facebook Marketplace, which allow sellers to access diverse liquidation stock at competitive prices. Each platform possesses its own set of advantages and challenges. For instance, Bulq.com is known for its user-friendly interface and a selection of high-quality pallets; however, shipping fees can be relatively high. Conversely, BStock operates on an auction model that can yield exceptional deals if buyers demonstrate patience and a strategic bidding approach, though this may also involve engaging in bidding wars that could escalate prices. While eBay and Facebook Marketplace offer a plethora of options at potentially lower prices, it is imperative for buyers to exercise caution regarding the reliability of individual sellers. Additionally, consumer-to-consumer platforms such as Facebook Marketplace provide unique resale opportunities that may align with specific business strategies. Understanding shipping costs and logistics is essential across all platforms, as buyers may inadvertently overlook these factors, resulting in unexpected expenses that could erode overall savings. Effective shipping logistics can mitigate these issues and improve profit margins. To navigate these platforms effectively, conducting thorough research on seller ratings, reading customer reviews, and frequently reaching out for clarification on shipping practices can significantly enhance the chances of securing advantageous deals. Understanding the Costs Involved in Flipping Pallets and Managing Inventory Understanding the various costs associated with flipping liquidation pallets is crucial for maximizing profit margins and ensuring the sustainability of the business. Key expenses include shipping costs, the purchase price of the pallets themselves, and any potential fees related to listing products on platforms such as eBay and Amazon Fulfillment. Proper storage space management and product tracking are also essential factors to consider. It is also important to consider storage expenses, particularly if inventory must be held for extended periods, as this can significantly impact overall profitability. Additionally, the condition of the goods within the pallets can greatly affect resale value; damaged or unsellable items may result in financial losses. To effectively navigate these costs, astute sellers often implement pricing strategies that include competitive analysis and dynamically pricing techniques. This approach allows them to adjust their rates in response to market demand while ensuring they cover their initial investments. By comprehensively understanding these elements, one can develop a more robust strategy for transforming liquidation pallets into profitable business endeavors. Leveraging tools such as ZIK Analytics and Scan Unlimited can provide valuable insights for profit evaluation and product tracking. How to Evaluate Liquidation Pallets Before Purchase Before acquiring liquidation pallets, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive evaluation to ensure a sound investment. This process includes inspecting the products, conducting thorough research, and utilizing tools for profit evaluation to ascertain the potential resale value of items within the manifest pallets. To begin, it is important to carefully assess the condition of each item included in the pallet, checking for any damage or defects that could impact its resale potential. Subsequently, engaging in product research is crucial; this entails examining comparable listings online to evaluate current market demand and pricing trends. A thorough understanding of the product's history and brand reputation can also provide valuable insights into its profitability.

Many sellers fail to consider critical elements such as thorough product inspection, efficient product tracking, and a comprehensive understanding of shipping logistics, as well as sourcing strategies and product viability, which can lead to reduced profits and increased complications. To optimize revenue, it is essential for vendors to implement rigorous inspection procedures upon receipt of pallets, especially for defective products and returned items. Establishing a detailed tracking system to monitor inventory movement and sales performance is crucial. Additionally, a misunderstanding of shipping logistics can incur unnecessary costs; therefore, becoming familiar with various carriers and their pricing structures is vital. This includes being aware of shipping costs and buying liquidation pallets from reputable sources.

Furthermore, establishing robust relationships with shipping providers is crucial for ensuring timely deliveries. Prioritizing customer service during this process not only fosters customer loyalty but also contributes to more efficient operations, as effective communication can help mitigate potential issues related to inventory discrepancies or shipping delays.
