Hello,
I have been making websites for others since 3 years and now I am also working as a digital marketer.
I have been thinking of a E-commerce store to where people can buy Refurbished laptops and sell us their old laptops.
Acquiring Laptop:
1) From Original Manufacturer
2) From Local dealers
3) End Users
Selling:
Starting from NCR.
We refurbish and resale with warranty.
Give COD or online payment gateway.
After sales:
Making Contract with local vendors who provide onsite hardware support.
The part that we cannot sale:
Return to vendor at some loss.
Why I think this might work:
1) Price matters: cheap laptops, with onsite warranty.
2) Lot of institutes start and shutdown, small schools, offices- all need laptops
What I fear:
1) Rapidly changing technology: old laptops are not supported by new softwares, motherboards, rams, optical drives, processors and vice versa.
2) Buying laptop from end users even after getting it checked by a tech is risky.
3) No idea about how much stock I should maintain. Laptops are expensive and if they do not sell and if vendors do not take it back then I might end up playing Frisbee with them.
I would really appreciate inputs by TRH members. Thanks in advance.
