How to Import and Sell Used Cloths & Shoes and Make Money from it


Some Nigerians would rather buy shoes from the fairly used shoe dealers than buy the Aba made, China made or Idumota Oshodi made shoes in Nigeria markets. because they like quality. It's better you get Gucci from imported fairly used dealer that you are sure is the genuine quality even though it has been used than get brand new in Idumota that is actually fake and made in Aba.

There are so many people like me who goes for fairly used tokunbo shoes whenever they don't have enough money to buy pure designers than buy the inferior new ones. That's the power of quality products - they last longer than fake new ones.

Importing fairly used cloths and shoe into Nigeria has been a big business over the years and the trend doesn't seem to vanish soon. This is another very good business opportunity that is fitting for those outside the country where this things are gotten very cheap, sometimes free.

A used cloth in USA cost about 50cent that is $0.5 dollars in Bale of 25kg grade A. If the bale contains like 200, the price will be $0.5 x 200 = N15,500. If you brings it into Nigeria, the same bale will be sold for up to N70,000 and make N45,000 pure profit! You can sell at cheaper price to help your country people and still make good profit.

how start this business?

1. You need to get a shop or a warehouse where you will be stocking your goods when it arrives. The same shop will be used for displaying so that passerby who would like to bend down and select could do that conveniently.

2. Source your products online at eBay or Alibaba and select the preferred supplier. Or you go round and look for suppliers. You will have to arrange for trusted business partners back home who will be in charge of the home front.

3. Set your logistic in place and begin to import. As soon as it arrives, you will start distributing it to reseller take over from there and handle the sale, distribution and disbursement.
