    Default IMPORTING from CHINA LCDs

    I'm thinking of having a go at a small venture:

    1. Purchase im bulk about 100 4X40 blue/white LCDs from China.
    2. FOB cost ia about $18 each.
    3. Other costs would be postage and so on.
    4. Sell them via the internet.
    5. Similar LCDs are advertised for $60 upwards.

    Any experience of this sort of thing?
    Pitfalls?
    Things that you wish you had know when you started!

    Regards Bill legge

    not sure where you saw those overpricey ones, but a simple visit to digikey
    http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...-ATMI-JT%23-ND

    and those are regular parts.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Mister_e,
    Wow, that is a good price for a 4X40 blue/white. I've been digging round the Australian suppliers - I should have remembered that they are mostly over-priced, and on borrowed time.
    Thanks for that, I'll ponder-on.

    Regards Bill Legge

    Don't forget, you'll be liable for import duty and tax on the goods too. Unless you're into 100,000+ quantities then it's seldom worthwhile importing to resell.
