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.

I called you couple of days ago prior to posting this request but you hung up on me, probably because 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.

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. what do u think |

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

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 because 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 please 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

Update for nairalanders I successfully to my utter amazement sold 2 laptops, 10 biometric flash drives, portable external hdd, blackberry phones and car mp3 players within 4 days of it arriving at PH. I am sending more stuffs next week. when I work out a few kinks i am experiencing with logistics and build a reputation, there should be an ecommerce site where Nigerians can purchase products with either cash or credit/debit cards. The laptops were sold for N100,000 configuration was Gateway MT6458 Processor:-AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-50(1.60GHz) Screen size:15.4" Wide XGA Memory Size: 1GB HDD: 160GB 5400rpm Optical Drive:Dual layer DVD Burner Graphics Card:ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 IGP Operating system: windows Vista WLAN :802.11n Wireless LAN Card Slot :1 x Type I/II PC Card Slot with CardBus support USB = 4 IEEE 1394 = 1 Video Port = 1 x VGA, 1 x S-Video TV-out Audio Ports = 1 x Microphone jack; 1 x Headphone jack Battery :8-cell lithium ion The biometric flash drives (uses finger print authentication) 1GB sold for N5,000 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, , 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, because 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.

@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.
