Re: Problem

Hi guys,

I am still desperately looking for supplier of mp3 player products and accessories. I am mainly looking for Apple and Creative. I am thinking of setting up an online shop in Ireland but this difficulty this hangs over me.

I have checked many out foreign but have found fake after fake.

If anyone knows a supplier Within Europe, UK, Us or out foreign that sell these products and that you have dealt with before and know that are 100% Gebuine I would appreciate it it greatly if you coukd share it with me.

I will advertise a website for you on some of my other websites in return for this advice. Thanks in advance.

Crackah is right I'm afraid, it's such a popular product to sell even if you find a genuine supplier the profit margins are very small indeed.

What stock budget do you have available for this? You will need a fairly large sum in order to achieve a reasonable volume discount assuming you track down a supplier.

Sent some emails but it is very hard to get respones at times. This business is now a second priority at the moment as I am about to launch a new E-Commerce Website and start a fairly large marketing campaing and affiliate program.

If I was going ahead with this idea in following months I would have to buy a large amount of stock as profit margins are tight and the more I buy the better the price. Still, I would have to have a full business plan created before I could actually think of going ahead-More market Research mainly with marketing campaign etc.

I will still keep trying to get contacts within Creative and Apple in the hope that I may continue this as a future online and retail business.

Thanks all for your contributions and more are appreciated as always
