It was December of last year I was on Vacation through out Mexico. I visited Mexico City, Guanajuato, Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara and some other small towns and cities. I realized one thing. I noticed how much people were selling on the streets for so cheap! I was buying all sorts of neat things ranging from cheap gold chains worth 7 bucks a piece and leather hats. While I was on a tour bus a man came in selling leather hats. Of course I asked him how much he wanted for a hat which was leather, Had a well made Adidas logo on it. It zipped off at the top to make a visor. This is what struck me the most, The zipper part. The man reluctantly said 10 pesos, Which is about a little more than 1 dollar. Like $1.07. It seemed way to cheap, It was well crafted. Made of good grade leather. I then asked him how much he wanted for all of his hats and he looked at me kind of weird. He had about 15 hats on him at the time and said If I bought all of the hats he would sell them to me for $100 pesos which is about $10. That's how much landscapers make in one day believe it or not. I then proceeded to ask him where he bought the hats and gave me an address of a man who had boxes of these hats. Of course we left that same day but I plan on returning next year. Now, when I got home with my 15 hats I went on ebay and put 1 up for sale. Sold at a buy it now price of $7 not including shipping. I went to sell all of them and raised the price a little ultimately making about $135. This goes to show all the young people that you don't have to know much about importing/exporting. You can do Business while your on vacation! Also what caught my eye was all the cheap leather jackets they have for sale. I bought me a nice high quality leather jacket for $40! In Leon Guanajuato which is said to be the clothes and merchandise capital of Mexico. Those jackets can sell easy for about $130 on ebay.
