Thanks and hoping to get your sincere opinions.

The prices seem pretty ok for dual core systems.

Are they brand new or used?

@ lovethis
they are brand new systems with one year warranty from their respective manufacturers, no used system.

@Seun
is the pricing competitive? if not what do you think will be aan "attractive" price for them?

They are very competitive and you will sell them off very quickly with those prices. i also send laptops to naija for sale and i wish i could sell mine that cheap. I believe you will sell them off very fast.

thanks lovethis, I just thought to give it a shot.if it works out as I am hoping over time it will become cheaper with more options.

lovethis did u get my email?

Mazia, Yes, I just replied it and by the way, I am in georgia.

u wrote that the gateway is refurbished- but it still a very competitive price
the others too are quite okay for the prices especially with the bonuses.
anyway, u can contact me if u need someone to help u sell in Lagos

@Shot

I called you couple of days ago prior to posting this request but you hung up on me, probably cos of network [not sure just guessing].

what marketing strategy do you have in mind? If you have a good proposal we certainly can do some business.

Hi lovethis,
pls i need to buy the new dell inspiron 1520 laptop, i don't know how this is possible by you, i mean , u said you send laptops to nigeria for sale and presently this laptop is not available in nigeria, how can you help me in purchasing it and sending it down, i'll cover for all the bills? pls what do you think?

Bimbor, I'll send you email soon.

am sorry, guess probably the network was bad.
what i have in mind is probably a bulk supply to companies, retailers and wholesalers. since i building as much contacts as possible. then i will be launching a full flegde computer e-commerce site soon ,strictly for nigeria.
wat do u think

sounds very interesting, can you send me more details please, I just sent the specs i posted on here to PH and I already have buyers for them, send me a detailed plan and i will call you this weekend to discuss it.

I don't understand why laptops seem to be getting more expensive.

Seun what do you mean by that statement?

Well mazia

Your prices are relatively ok but they are not all that superb as lovethis and a few others want us to believe.

I agree with Seun's last mail about laptops being expensive. See, una wey dey abroad there need to dey consider us here small cos e no easy for naija. Economy dey bite. The laptop wey we dey buy sef no electricity to use am unless we buy generator. Try and see if u can bring the price down a bit. I actually want to buy a good laptop this week and good for me, I reside in Port Harcourt.

Am serious about buying so pls call me on 08066574226 and lets see if we can arrive at a price I believe is good for me. You can also mail me with the add. below.

It always pays to be good

I will call you today about an hour from now. I am actually sending two laptops and a couple of other items[ USB flash drives with finger print authentication,blackberry phones,external hard drives car mp3 player etc ] to portharcourt by friday because my partners are in PH. Hopefully we can work something out before I ship them out.

i am tired of typing now, got to get some sleep, getting late.
I will be updating this thread to let y'all know what I was able to sell so that when the website is launched, you will get it ofr even cheaper that what I am selling them for now. good night all.

@mazia am about building an ecommerce site where Nigerians can purchase products usig credit cards, atm cards, egold, paypal you name it, but its still in the pipeline.
Also just an advise why not send laptops with Nvidia instead of ATi graphic card

@adewaleafolabi
Thanks for the opinion, I will make the adjustment in the graphics card type, did not think it made much difference. when is your site scheduled to launch, cos mine is scheduled to launch on the 29th of september.
Actually it will be ready on the 15th of september but we will have to test it nad fix any bugs that may arise before going public.

What kind of site would it be? I am interested in your next shipment

@Apmis
It is going to be an ecommerce site, where you can order consumer electronics at what i would consider an affordable price and it will be sent from the US to your destination within 10days or less. I am working out some integration issues with interswitch and my database.
what piques your interest in my next shipment as I am getting ready to place orders.A nairalander just placed an order with me yesterday for a laptop,once I deliver,he will be a testimonial to others .

Okay, I am working on something slightly different though. Looking forward to when you have it on. My interest is based on the voice of your writeup and your marketing appeal. 10 days is quite short.

hello laptop sellers:
laptop selling is pretty good and you get tomake a lot of profit depending on your specifications and unit price and how many and how fast you are willing to sell andlet your stock go.
i was online some mins ago on a U.S site and i saw wonderful prices and willing to let you guys know about it and see if you guys and to know if its different from what you guys buy so you guys will be able to make profit. ill get the price down to you guys and the spec.

@teeluv

Do you mean you have websites that we can purchase laptops at good prices? if that what are the prices for the configs?

FYI: there are different ways to purchase stuff in the US, besides some of and a good majority of them are not what they say they are , trust me been there .
Good luck in your quest.

Just looking at it, that configuration is either a Dell or an HP? I dare you to prove me wrong. that source of yours is not where to get the best price as i can almost tell where that is coming from.

well its actually a compaq v6000tx series and its off the stores sites itsself

i hope i didnt prove you wrong
Regards

nope compaq is the lower end of HP. and it is not off their site either.
