Selling dashcams..

[petepete]

I m finding people are more aware of them, and want to learn more when they ask about mine and see them fitted..

Mentioning I have some for sale at I m finding £30 is a sweet spot they are prepared to pay there and then and dont even bother to research them or ask what they are.

Rather than sell "the big issue" I reckon there is a living to be made cold calling door to door and knocking out the £11 ebay ones for £30

You could always sell them out of a white van?

'Psst, buddy, I work for an electronics importer and we got an extra case of fine quality dash cams I was told to get rid of.... They normally sell for $500, but I can let you have one for $200.'

You are not trying hard enough, everyone knows that you can get £50 off your car insurance by fitting one so you should be able to sell them for at least £50, after all at that price they are effectively free

Then you can do a deal with an insurance broker to hand out insurance advert leaflets as you go round offering £50 off with a dashcam which not only proves that you can actually get £50 off on the spot but also brings you commission on the insurance sales

Then you need to make sure that the terms and conditions of the insurance require professional installation of the dashcam and an annual service/check-up which is where you make your real money...

surprised that hasn't happened already

Actually a rolling 'office' in a minivan that had working dashcams installed, would probably work. Sit the people down, let them see them working, push the buttons.

Got a rattle on my exhaust after heavy rain and called to have it sorted..

They did it for free in minutes and minutes later the 3 staff bought dashcams off me (second hand G1wh as new boxed £30 but I paid £2 for them)

Sold two in minutes (other make) to a woman running a newsagents out of town I ve never met before and I really do think you would struggle NOT to sell 10 a day cold calling with minimal demonstration and the beauty is they are doing this without even researching or having any other knowledge about dashcams and just assume a dashcam is a dashcam... I havnt even mentioned an insurance discount.

Quite literally you could buy at under £10 on ebay for the old flip down thingy and knock them out with a £20 a piece profit all day long.



for the nay sayers...

I remember one morning in a plumb centre where all us local plumbers (16 of us ) gathered for a hot free drink before work and a gypsy walked in selling video recorders at £150 a piece. He sold one to all of us plus the staff and I was the only one without that amount of cash but was daft enough to go and get it and some even bought 2.

He took over £3000 cash in 30 minutes.

I tried mine within an hour and realised it was crap and went back to the plumb centre and managed to sell it to one of the staff for £140 !

Just shows how blinkered and gullible bargain hunters can be !

I think you better start praying they don't find this forum and read this thread...

One of my colleagues has just bought a camera for £20, as advertised atop the petrol pump at the forecourt.
I'm amazed they are allowed to store them anywhere near petrol fumes!

They're probably safe unless you apply current.

i always find it funny that people aren't even willing to pay one months of car insurance worth on a dash cam that could save them a $500 deductable.

Though one month of my car insurance premium wouldn't buy anything worth owning! One benefit of not driving a a Skyline GTR or similar
