i have internet cafe in BAQ and wondering what you guys think if i starting selling Mp3 players a a fraction of the cost from los exitos and carrefour.....are colombians in your opion high on name brand items......i can can get mp3 players 1 gb for 15 bucks and i think i can sell for 40 bucks brand is china OEM. not sure how this would fly in my store.....the idea is sell the Mp3 players and of course the customer would have to use my computer to download their music if they do not have a computer in their own house. i will also be selling any and all comsumer electronics........ideas welcomed for expansion

Peter (Moderator) says on Jan 24, 2008, 06:45: Sounds like a good idea - don't know until you try. Why don't you get say 20 or something and just try it, see what the demand is like. Poor but snappy 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

juli says on Jan 24, 2008, 19:36: Colombians love electronics gadgets as much as the next guy and are less brand conscious than the next guy. Anyone who can afford the 40USD can afford to download songs in your place. I hope you have a fast connection. In Medellín you don't see that may people with headphones because they are afraid of theft. I'm sure BAQ is less of a worry. You checked out the competition - good job.

Robert Jorge says on Jan 24, 2008, 20:35: I didn't see to many people in Villavicencio with earphones either - same reason - theft. But I am sure Ipod types of media players 'cheap' would be very popular in Colombia. You might be on to something. BEWARE of gold diggers. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
