You spent six hours last week doing prep work.
Polybags. Bubble wrap. FNSKU labels. The whole routine.
72 units prepped = $1,080 profit.
Not bad… until you realize those same six hours could’ve found you $2,000–$4,000 in profitable inventory.

Would you pay someone making $47/hour to label products?
