Has anyone here ever heard of Dave Espino? Has anyone bought his product (info-mercial) Auctions to Income? If you have what do you think please.
Kind Regards for your response
"I'm sure that plenty of folks have been scammed by some of those late night TV Infomercials. Particularly those of the get rich quick variety selling packages of supposed Business Opportunity training materials or promising turn key business startups I fell for one of these a little over a month ago spending my money on a package
Only to discover later that all the information contained in the package was allready available free on the Ebay website Selling tips and such. Fortunately I didn't go for the coaching program that was offered as an option with this package. Those who did ended up being bilked out of between $3200.00 and $6000.00 in training fees which were for taking a few online lessons on the companies website. I did lose money as a result of dealing with the companies recommended dropshipper. I chalk that one up to not researching my market and pricing restraints due to overpricing from the distributer. Basically what happened to me is that I had to shell out money for listing items that didn't sell. Anyway the information contained in the package was so generalized as to be useless, and a waste of money.
A couple years ago my wife ordered a business opportunity package from a TV infomercial. Another case of the materials being so generalized as to be useless. Never giving enough specific information as to provide a doable business opportunity. Funny thing is that the package she ordered from Don Lapre two years ago and the package I ordered from Dave Espino a month ago both looked to have been put together by the same printing company, and the infomercials both looked to have been made by the same production company or at least in the same style."
Ralphie sniffs a RAT...
I'm guessing that all these programs invole "drop-shipping?"
From very expensive experience, I can tell you that virtually all these companies stock the same cr#p from the same cr#ppy Chinese catalogs, and you end up with thousands of suckered folks selling the same cr#ppy Chinese "Frogs a'humping Bedroom Lamps" -- tis mathematically impossible to sell any of this cr#pola!

He's a scuzzbucket. You would be better off spending your money on new inventory. Even lottery tickets would be a better choice.

You would be better off to go to www.wholesale.com and find someone to buy inventory off of.

Thanks for your responses. I am known as a MOST careful shy person about spending my hard earned cash. My best friend and partner calls me smart,but shy or just plain cheap. Well for me just plain cheap is a by product of, I don't like to waste anything ... and money is to hard to make to waste it. Yesterday morning I turned on the tv in my office to catch the morning news. It was on the Red Sox's channel from the night before. Up pops Dave Espino. I had never seen this "mercial" ....the first word I hear is ebay so I am hooked into watching. Your response's about inventory were exactly my thoughts while I watched. China, Drop Ship & Crap. Suspicions confirmed. I knew someone here would have heard of or about this guy. Thanks
Tom for those web links. Very interesting conversations. Your the BOMB! in the help and information world.
