We Wanted to Go to London, So We Started a Business...

This was the very important question that started my girlfriend and I’s CRAZY Amazon FBA business and funded a week long trip across Europe for the both of us.

My name is Alex, and I had a plan when I was at Keene State College for Film Production to travel to London by myself because it is good to get out of your comfort zone every once in awhile. I met this girl named Cassie after breaking into a park for a date, and we hit it off from there. We decided we’d go on this trip together! But there was one problem...

We decided not to say, “We can’t afford it” because with that mindset... well, we wouldn’t afford it. Simple as that. Instead, we decided to change our mindsets to make ourselves think of solutions. We did this by asking, “HOW can we afford it?”. It is this little change that started our business and is taking both of us across Europe, and it really did make the difference. We began brainstorming and decided that it would cost roughly $1,000 - $1,500 just for travel, we would get the funds as a team, and we would build something together. I’ve sold on eBay when I was 10, but that is when I thought of Amazon! We began doing research and found something called Amazon FBA. “We can ship stuff to a warehouse, and Amazon takes care of the sales? Let’s do it!!” That is when we made the decision.

We were still in college and began going to Thrift Stores, Walmart, Discount Stores, Yard Sales, etc. We would buy low and ship everything in bulk to an Amazon Warehouse. We priced our items a lot higher and, to our surprise, they were selling! Once we sold a book for $125 that we bought for $0.50, we knew that we had started something good.
