Why would they want to buy online? There are zillions of stores in every single shopping mall in Singapore selling the same stuff at low prices, and there you can both examine the stuff in detail and hang out with your friends at the same time!

Better yet the only ones who could use it are those whose parents are well off relatively speaking as they would need credit cards and teens cannot get one in their own names.tiki wrote:How do you 'cash and carry' if you're buying online?
tiki, maybe the new online sites will have special software that will allow them to just reach into their screens like in the sci-fi movies and grab whatever they want.

Do you expect teens to surf your website, commit to buying your products for then to travel all across Singapore to your place of business and pay you in cash?
If so I would hardly call it online business. Also I am quite certain that a business like that would not be able to survive.
I suggest you make a business plan that you can have others evaluate, comment on and even improve.
Online business can be quite lucrative if carried out the “right”

On a semi-related note SMS, I came across a seller who was auctioning off a card-holder from a certain luxury brand. Although within SIngapore, this seller strictly stated no meet-ups and payment via electronic means only and the item would be posted.
Of course I realised, the luxury brand that was suppose to have manufactured that card-holder...
never had any of the kind in their collection, in the first place.
I don't understand how people can buy knock-offs when the original don't even exist

tiki,
That's what happens when you are the nuevo riche. You are brand conscious to the point of stupidity. As long as the name is there, they figure "Who cares". That's why you have the stupid penchant here for buying Toyota Harriers and putting on Lexus trim. They are wannabe's. It's actually rather funny to think that they drive them over to malaysia so they can get stolen because at first glance it looks like a lexus.
It's like my wife wanting to buy me a gold/diamond studded Rolex copywatch 20 years ago. I was making trips to manila regularly at that time. Just what I needed - to get my arm chopped off at the elbow for a $10 copy!
Research?

Had it been a $50K original watch would that have made you feel any better?sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's like my wife wanting to buy me a gold/diamond studded Rolex copywatch 20 years ago.

If I am going to lose my arm I sure don't want to lose it for a copywatch! I would like to think my arm was worth more than $10 wouldn't you?Oriental wrote:Had it been a $50K original watch would that have made you feel any better?sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's like my wife wanting to buy me a gold/diamond studded Rolex copywatch 20 years ago.
