I have been in contact with a german company about their products, They have a well known name in the VAG scene
Looking at other retail outlets I could supply their parts for around £15 - £20 cheaper INC delivery
Most of the parts are between 70-100
For example LMF sell @ £95 inc delivered
I could do it for about £75 inc delivered
Is it worth doing ?

If you could make £15-20 per item, it would be worth your while getting an online shop.

i know, just giving advice, i used to work in a set profit of x to make it worth it for me, not a %
you would have to buy in bulk, and have to pay out then wait for the profit...
