Welcome To E-Catcity.Com, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

I have done business studies and IT while at college and while studying, i’ve been investigating my own business venture.

I’ve found the perfect thing while talking to manufacturers and suppliers in China of Electronic goods and the problem is, I cannot get work where I live, nor can I get EMA or any other funding due to my parents income, nor can I get any funding off my parents as we can barely pay the mortgage.

The Chinese factories of Guangdong I’ve spoken to can supply me with the said goods for £6 a piece and these are sold in high street stores for £60+ each, ebay sellers sell these at a cheapest price of £24.99 so I believe I’ve stuck gold : D

Problem is, to get these at that price I need to buy a minimum quantity of 100 but I’d also like to visit these factories in China to make sure I don’t run the risk of being scammed (as a lot of so called "chinese suppliers" turn out to be someone in a flat running scams all over the net)

They have a verification seal on their factories’ website from 3rd parties that have checked their business out to make sure all’s legit, But I still can’t run any risk especially if it’s such an amount of money which I don’t have straight forward access to.

Is there any business bursary or Scheme available from the government for students like myself?

You can get info about such college scholarships and grants online here – universities.atwebpages.com

hi all
need help on how far causeway bay to ocean park. if by taxi how much? also are all taxi prices must be agreed before trip in HK? thank you.
and what is the most happening shopping centre/maket at the moment, for clothes shopping and electronic goods?

Hong Kong taxi fares are set by the meter, not negotiation. You pay what the meter says or your driver calls the police and you get arrested.

Causeway Bay and Ocean Park are relatively close to each other (4 miles?), but traffic can be very congested and travel slow. Your taxi fare will be around HK$100, depending on how slow the traffic is.

There are numerous shopping centers and "night markets" across Hong Kong. Wan Chai and Mong Kok are great for browsing little stores and open air stalls. Upscale shopping is available at malls like Pacific Place

I want sell / buy goods / things / electronic / computer items / Links for sell

Fender Squier Strat

I love mine.

my friend has a website and wont tell me.

he is selling beats by dr dre for 130, on the apple store there 230. where does he buy the stock from and so cheap?

He doesn’t buy it cheap, Apple marks it up more then he does.

I have my friend in us now and I want him to bring me some electronic goods when he comes back. I want to pay online for the goods and give his address as shipping address. If I pay with my credit card, my bank is charging 3% transaction charges. I want to avoid this. How to do that? how to pay in us dollars with current day’s exchange rate without any extra charges?

You can send the money via regular mail.

There is no way to escape a charge inasmuch as at some point, some institution is guaranteeing responsibility for the money in transit. This is the case even with a wire transfer. Too, you are asking for special treatment for services rendered by financial institutions. I find that peculiar as we all have to endure the costs of doing business.

I have been playing around on the drums 4 about a year and I wanted a nice kit for my birthday or christmas that is small and affordable. I was thinking about the "Roland HD-1 V Drum Lite Electronic Drum Set" but I dont know if this is a good idea or not. Have any suggestions of a good kit or set that is cheap?

You could get a Alesis DM6 Electronic Drum Set. You can get it off of musiciansfriend for 400-500 dollars. Roland is also a good choice though the Roland HD-1 V’s pedals dont get you used to the feel of a real bass drum pedal.

You should search musiciansfriend.com because it has lots of great prices

Is it cheaper? back when they existed as a store they used to sell electronics but their prices where higher than what they were actually worth.

The Circuit City of today is not the same one that went out of business. This company purchased the site and now they sell cheaper electronics along with name brand stuff.
It has been doing well and they are looking into opening actual stores. So they must be doing well. Let us hope that they don’t follow the same path that the first one did.

Would electronic goods be cheaper in Singapore?

As a rule of thumb, electronics > $500 would be cheaper in Singapore.

i have a project in which i need to make a store and name it etc.. but i dunno what i should name it what do you think about supersonic electronics? any other store name ideas will be greatly appreciated!!
