video_game_master,
I would recommend being more specific about what you want. Starting a business even on ebay isn't just a thing you should think about. It is something you should know if it is worth it or not. Before you make the decision you have to find a wholesaler. Then you need to make sure they are legit. After this you need to ask yourself is the deals you are getting going to be worth it. Making tiny profits isn't a way to go. I would suggest going into something you like, instead of what you think will sell.
The reason I say this is because usually things you like, whether it's a hobby or whatever is a lot of times sucessful for a business.
I'm not going to lie to you. Video games especially are hard to make much profit off of. Too much competition, especially if you do so on ebay. It's hard to find legit deals for video game systems especially. Do not trust anyone that says they can get you hundreds or even thousands of video game systems (Xbox 360, PS3 especially).
Reason is you got to think to yourself. How do these suppliers get hundreds or even thousands of new systems when only Walmart, Target, Bestbuy at each store had a maximum (of what I have seen) of 100 in stock. They are sold out, and the only people that get the most are major companies like so. Only ones who kept some were Bestbuy which they sold approx. 20 systems on Dec 17-21st depending on your town. It's too good to be true, no other individual wholesaler will have hundreds or thousands of new systems especially when demand is so high leaving a shortage.
I would recommend more of the 'electronic stuff' or 'computer stuff' that you said. Depending on what they are. Computer parts will give you good business, since they always update, and so do electronics (depending on what it is). You should more into this idea.
I am not telling you what path to go, but more of something to think about. Goodluck to you on your decision.
