    Well, I’m an atheist so, for me, its either lights out or hell, if the other side is in any way correct.

    I jumped right unto importing. Small scale, mostly consumables at the moment: thumb drives, SSDs, cables, mice, the likes.

    I test before I sell; if it fails me, it’s not worthy to market to customers: better a returning customer giving me hell to get the best deal out of me than an one time sale and a lasting bad reputation.

    Only thing I have to buy localy it’s keyboards; we’re a small market and it’s hard to get our layout in small quantities.

      Just out of curiosity, who is your supplier? Is there some middle-market wholesaler for this kind of stuff or do you just order it online from a bulk retailer?

        Online.

        For my market, during the pandemic, prices were simply leveled. Importing or buying on local wholeselers was the same.

        Currently I can get up to 50% lower prices if I import. And if I go bulk, on some items it gets ridiculous.
