You need to start with consumables like: - Toner and Ink cartridges and refill kits. - Recordable and Rewritable CDs and DVDs. You should also stock PC parts that often need replacement: - Hard disks. - CD-ROM and DVD Drives. - Keyboards. - Mice (or is it mouses?  ) Finally, you should get PC accessories used to upgrade systems: - SDRAM and DDRAM memory modules. - PC Speakers and headsets. That's what I think you need for a small scale computer accessory business.

You should contact all the business centers, schools, etc in your area that use computers. Tell them that you can supply them with consumables and such at a moment's notice. Drop your card with them so they can call you instantly when they need a new ink cartridge, writable CD, etc. Then buy these items and keep them at home!
The idea is that instead of sending somene to Computer Village they'll call you and you'll deliver instantly. I've seen someone running this kind of business profitably in Abeokuta, and he sells even motherboards.

My brother, you need to be careful with this business. As lucrative as the business is. There are some pitfalls. The unstable exchange rate and the speed at which the prices of computer components fall makes it a business that requires careful studies and right connection to good suppliers.
Else, you might end up buying components that you cannot even sell at the original cost price. Getting educated by a genuine businessman who is already doing well in this business might be a better way to start than asking question in this forum. Of course you might meet someone online too. I wish you well.

globalaid, you say you're based in china. i've been trying to get contacts in china for enquiries relating to trading from china mainland. i trade at the moment from dubai - nigeria, ghana, ivory coast and benin republic. At the moment i'm trying to get conacts for manufacturers of hair accessories in china. I got some information at the chinese embassy here and i've just found out that most of the manufacturers are in china mainland. the products price starts from $7 per piece for human hair products. can you give me some advice on where to get the same items of the same quality, but at cheaper rates.
i sent you an email too
