@OP, i'm also interested in doing this business, starting from jan next year! The bizness is good but with your amount, you can only get phones at a higher price in lagos and re-sell and get some profit.. about ordering it online..i don't really know much as I don't trust them.

OP, good idea.. you can go into importation and order for the phones urself, if you still find it difficult; there are many peeps on NL that can help you pre-order phones from Ebay, Amazon, and Dubai stores..

Below is a thread that can guide you in importation from China.

Don't get the idea wrong, yes that is true most products of big companies including samsung, apple and a whole lot more are manufactured and imported from china, but then the companies that manufactures these products have no rights to sale, distribution, export or supply. Here is how the deal works,
A company say samsung goes ahead and does a whole lot of research
They get a model of product they want to produce,
They contact a manufacturer that can produce that product in bulk (almost unlimited quantity)
They take away all resell, import rights from the manufacturer, therefore they (samsung) are the only ones that can sell this ORIGINAL product to the resellers and customers.
They take the products to their country of distribution (in this case USA) for distribution.
Do you know that the IPhone is manufactured in Chinese by a Chinese company called Foxconn technology and is taken over to the US to be sold and marketed by an America company Apple, now will you not find it funny that the same Iphone cost 15% more in china (the country it was originally manufactured) than in the US (the country it was taken to be marketed). So tell me how do you expect to get a original IPhone in china for cheap.
The best you can do is contact a manufacturer who will create for you a look alike of the type of product that you want, that is it will have the same design as the original product but bear in mind that the look alike product will be far less in quality and functionality than the original ones

lahify:
I will

have u done dt now?

Hi pple I just graduated frm d univ and I hav 300k given to me by my
uncle
. I need ur advice on how 300k can start a u.k used phone sale biz

broda if u need to go into London used phone its a good idea but do you have the nessary things in place
like shop and location if yes then u on the right part but if not how do u intend selling your goods... even on amazon and ebay u can't get large quantity from a seller which will be a problem I guess but for a start its good cos of the capital u have. my advice is plan well before venturing into the bis cos its a long term Biz...

at op, most of the london/belgium phones are gotten from lag.most of them has stickers at the place where battery is which serve as proof for returning it back if default.just take a week to stroll to ikeja and other big market in lagos to find whole sale sellers of such phones.that is what most phone sellers with show glass do.they always go to lagos to buy the used phone.so stroll around the big market in lagos and do your research

Thanks everyone for your contribution. I appreciate it.
