Teddy's bold claim in his stream that he makes more than Warski and PPP
combined spurred me to do a little more digging into his ugly children's shoes empire.
Before jumping into the meat of it, it's worth noting that his eBay storefront is still online under the new name
banjos-bizarre-bazaar, on which he continues to peddle presumably unopened underwear and assorted pop culture trinkets.
As humorous as it is to believe that Teddy was plundering his poor mother's abode for clothes, toys, and even home and kitchen appliances to flip online, I think it's more likely that he's running a retail arbitrage operation using a handful of discount stores in his areas, as well as loading up on pins, "magic bands", and other cheap-to-ship plastic junk at Disney World a few times a year (very based and redpilled tourist attraction for a 35-year-old single man to frequent). The vast majority of his inventory, which I can't imagine he stores in his current place, probably comes from a Crocs outlet in Ellenton, FL, 20 minutes from his residence. I find the site hard to navigate in my browser, but one can view some of the stock at the outlet
here.
The Crocs store is situated in a shopping center that also features Under Armour and Calvin Klein, two other brands the Fease used to carry in more abundance.
I doubt that Teddy is paying the online prices listed for all of of these shoes at the local store, and he's probably been flipping them for long enough that he has some sixth sense for the life cycle of branded Crocs or which characters' shoes go OOS more often. Even so, his margins look alarmingly slim; note the $33 gap between his Stitch shoes and those listed on the Crocs website, $10 of which gets eaten by shipping and another $7.5-11 (depending on the platform) in fees. Generously, if he's making "smart" buys and timing his sales correctly, we might grant that he's making $20-25 profit a piece on this hideous consoomer footwear.
So what kind of volume is Ted moving that makes him so confident he's trouncing the Casino's sub trains (of which Kick takes 5%, and which cost them nothing to source, store, and ship)? Mercati shows that he's sold 434 items since creating the seller account in 2023. That's less than one pair of Crocs a day. On eBay, he's been faring slightly better, with 85 sales over the last three months, but those are still sub-McDonald's earnings.
And Amazon? I'm sure he's having fun processing return after return from customers who don't know their size beforehand, and feasing out at ones who leave negative feedback.
My verdict: Feaser is as lousy of a businessman as he is a gamer and dispenser of red pills, and he should seek professional consultation from Gabe Hoffman or Joey Beiser immediately.
