I would like to do a test auction on ebay to see if there is a market for mushroom soil. I have seen several sites that sell it online, but I believe they sell it at wholesale, and not pacakaged for the regular consumer.
Mushroom Soil Business Details:
- Supply of mushroom soil- this may not be a problem, scarcity means the cost of the soil should be higher, but how much will a gardener pay for mushroom soil?
- Cost of shipping- this will be very costly, and could add drastically to the price. Could just sell locally and require pick up.
- Packaging- trash bags and a scale the easiest, but least professional. Buckets would be great, but the cost of packaging is very high. Sealed bags require the investing of a bag sealer. Could outsource this part of the process, along with shipping(find someone to drop ship it-the supplier)
Networking- related sites that would be able to network with include but not limited to:
- http://farmerjohn.wordpress.com/
- http://firstman2006.wordpress.com/
- Free directories
- gardening blogs
- ehousehub.com
Next step:
Run an Ebay auction.
