it's so strange that they can sell clothes for $2.where can they get such a cheap supplier?Can they still earn

Question

Like the belt they sold for $ 5 and earings for $2 and yet there are so many people selling the same type of things at the same place. can they really earn?

Answer 1

I will answer your question in 2 way.

1. Maybe old stock with not much colour balance, rejected goods or cannot pass QC.

2. I had been to Thailand and China to look for goods to bring back and sell few month ago.
I saw T-shirt selling at S$0.80, real leather belt at S$2.35 and earrings at S$0.26. I converted the rate using my pocket PC, cannot be wrong.

Imagine if they buy in one 20ft container, the price can be lower some more.

I think they may not make a lot but for sure will not loss $.

Answer 2

Of course they can still earn in fact u can earn a lot by re-selling it in Indonesia though..*Like Me >.<*

Err..gg a..Where's the place that u say sell clothes for $2? I'm looking for that kind of store acctually..Do they sell Accessory such as necklaces, hairpin n other girls bling2 for that kind of price too? It's in Singapore right?

Answer 3

ok im not denying the sweatshop angle and im also not denying the foriegn countrys but the more logical answer is that the buyer made a mistake and its a greater possibility the store wants to move slow moving or non selling stock at a loss...i work in retail and it happens all the time.

two dollars doesnt leave lots for light, heat phone, etc.

Answer 4

yes, the raw materials for these things literally cost pennies. If they have children in sweatshops make these things, the cost comes down even more. Nike trainers cost less than 2 bucks to make and sell for sometimes more than 100.

Answer 5

of coz...haven't you heard of child labor in some countries? bad practises, but we are all guilty of it.
furthermore, the mass production in china/ india/ thailand factories will definately decrease overall costs ...

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yes
