Is buying a dropshipping store a good idea?
Buying an established dropshipping business, Yay or Nay? And what to look for.
Shopify Jewelry Dropshipping store made by 15 year old, please review
I am a Jeweler, I have worked in high end stores, as well as repairs in the back end, and own my own shop now.
you should order some of the jewelry you are selling for yourself. At the prices that you are getting them, they are not what the pictures are. I dare you to buy them and take the exact same photos as you are supplying and compare them.
the metals will not be precious metals, they can't be at those prices, the rings and earrings will likely turn your customers fingers and ears green.
If you want some advice, Dropshipping looks like easy money, but it takes lots of work to, in your case peddle crap jewelry.
You are young, if you are selling jewelry because you are interested in it, you should learn how to make it! Right now more folks are retiring out of the jewelry industry than coming in, our wages are nothing but going up. Even now, you could make more money making your own jewelry.
Check this out, You can buy silver wire, add a texture to it, or an interesting twist, then solder them into rings, polish and , walla, stacker rings, sell them for around 10-15 bucks a piece (they will be about a dollar in materials) . How about some earrings? do the same thing, make little rings, solder on an earring post, sell the pair for 26 bucks.
Its more money for you, real craftsmanship, and if you keep it up, its a potential great paying career. Its also way more marketable, a 15 year old kid, hand making fine jewelry, I would buy it for that alone.
you do have some good stuff going for you, your site looks great, you can clearly navigate the online space. keep that up, keep learning, but stop trying to make an easy buck off crap. its counterintuitive but you can make an easier buck by making the jewelry yourself.

I found a dropshipping store for sale that I'm interested in and wanted to check if anyone has experience with this and have any tips on that to look at?
I will have a call with the owner to confirm the stats like costs and revenue of the store, anything specific I should check for to know if this could be a good store to buy?
Or is buying an established store just not a good idea at all?
Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Hey guys I'm still a newbie to this so I was wondering if any of you more experienced people could give some insight. Is it worth it to buy an existing dropshipping business and what are some telltale signs to look for when considering a purchase. I've come across a couple websites that seem decent (to me). So far I've considered marketing costs and CPC and where they source product and how fast deliveries are. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
