JustpassedCBT Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi everyone I'm curious as to what is the most common bike accessories that bikers are always looking to buy. Apart from the usual things such as helmet, jackets, trousers. For both male and female riders. I'm thinking about starting a eBay business so just thought I'd do some research. Any help would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynax Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The market is flooded with all sorts of accessories, and unless you can compete with prices from China, you will struggle, as a viable business, if you run it as a hobby, you might make it work, but don't expect to get rich, or have a stable income, it just won't happen, i buy quite regularly from China, and most items arrive within 2 weeks, but i'm in no hurry, and i buy well in advance of when i need it,but with all that said, there are niches, and if you find the right one, you could do well, do your research, look at what is currently selling, and for how much, it won't be easy, but wish you well, but don't go into blind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
