What's next?

Having realised that he had wasted his time in multilevel marketing, our 17 year old broadens his horizons and begins to search for opportunity in every nook and cranny.

His search takes him to an IT harsware hub in the capital. There are so many computer shops there that prices are dangerously low, due to all the undercutting going on between businesses.
So then our 17 year - old thinks to himself.... 'what if i sell off these items at a higher price for a good profit to the folks back where i come from...'

So an entire day is spent searching for the best prices and deterimining which is the most profitable product to sell.

The 17 year old then decides that, selling notebooks (computer notebooks mind you) to college students could be a fair deal.

And thus his 17 year old mind starts churning into action....

'Let see... college students want a cheap notebook. Why notebook? Because its portable... If i can find a notebook for under 2000 bucks, i should be able to make a decent profit of maybe 100 to 200 bucks if i can sell it.... not bad..... or maybe.. i should scout around, and i can create like a proce listing... yeha... and maybe make them into packages... like..like... erh.. round-number packages... i've always been irritated by those irregular number prices. So i should be able to sell differing prices of the notebooks depending on their specs... i can range it from 2000 to 2500 to 3000.....'

Obviously his thoughts aren't well organised, but there is however a rather vague structure to them..

Now he has found a different calling, he discards the old broom of Multilevel Marketing and goes nuts over the new broom of mark-up marketing.

to be continued....
