Dealing in Notebooks is Like a Dream Come True

The huge advantages of starting a business dealing in laptops
are not always appreciated but consider the following points
. . .
Laptops/Notebooks are easy to store. It is possible to operate
the business from a single room. In fact we know a guy who
stores a number of them under his bed. He says he can store
up to twenty laptops with hardly any loss of room space.
Laptops/Notebooks are always available from liquidation merchants
and other specialist trade sources at prices which allow good
reseller profit margins. It is a cash-doubler business for
those we know who are quietly operating this business from
a home base.
For a completely free list of notebook wholesalers and liquidation
merchants go to http://www.liquidations-uk.net
for Europe. In USA go to http://www.liquidations-uk.net/usa
Laptops/Notebooks are easy to pack to sell by Mail Order.
Take up to four under your arm to your local Post Office and
using standard parcel rates and insurance the cost to fulfil
orders will be a pittance compared to the profit potential.
However, unless working from a cramped room, be professional
and send the order by Courier Service, after all, the profit
margin is HUGE enough to allow for a "Free Delivery Service".
Recently sourced laptops/notebooks from a repo-liquidation
reseller allowed for a mark-up ratio of 150 percent and it
doesn’t stretch the imagination to calculate how much
could be made each week from just a couple of re-sales that
allows you to double your investment on each transaction.
There are of course warranties to be considered and how to
deal with any faulty returns.
Those were concerns I had myself in the beginning. However,
I found an easy way to resolve those issues to everyone’s
satisfaction. It was so simple, just make a complete replacement
and send the faulty one back to the supplier. Within the past
year I have only needed to do that three times which equates
to a very small percentage of total sales volume.
Here’s hoping you’ll give it a try and if so I
would love to get some feedback from you – please let
me know what you think of the business anyway, your thoughts
are always welcome.
