Thanks for that info. I was just curious as to what it goes for in bulk...
I'm pretty sure that you didn't even read the ad.
I pretty sure I don't go to FB at all. Or twitter. Even with English as my second language, I think you'll agree that your post could have been interpreted as if you wished to buy the FB item.

I still visit craigslist...I guess I'm old.

Of course, at $1320/$33/gal = 40 gal drums ... I assume fiber drums from that size

If able to get samples from the drum or drums to test (sampling free) then the offer price of $13/gal might be something to be worth the risk ... free samples , only needing $$ to test initially.

Repackage into 1 Gal. containers, slap a label on it, and price @ $50/gal, that's $2900 gross for 2 drums, take all 40 drums 1600 gal = 59,200 gross. Sale price - cost of product = gross.

Need to consider shipping costs + testing cost + 1 gal jug cost + labeling+drum pump cost , est. $5000 costs

Leads to profit of about $50,000. Seems like a do-able thing.

For what they want, $33/gal to sell for $50/gal .. thats $17/gal gross...$27K gross profit, not that enticing but still making $$. For a weekend of packaging work.

Form a S-corp to protect yourself .. and off you go !
