Drop Shipping - Scam or Cash Cow?

Has anybody done any mainstream drop shipping? Give me the good, bad and ugly on it. And if you have links to good programs post 'em! I'm looking for urban clothing like drjays.com.

Define "no cash". I know some pornsters are clocking 10s of thousands so "no cash" might mean only one or two thousand a month.

not much in it because you have so many idiots wanting to work from home without actually having to work, leading to a lot of competition and saturation for the few programs that allow drop shipping...

IMO it's just like the porn business, you just need to find an underpromoted niche and run with it.

that is about as far from mainstream as you can get

well, maybe selling 4 foot black dildos would be further, but lube is up there in the "NOT" mainstream list...LOL

You are usually paying about retail for the products. So you've got to find some real suckers to pay your markup. Plus the products are usually pure garbage. Pleather jackets... cheap home decorations...
