| 279479 | 2004-10-17 05:58:00 | Well, I don't have another job, just this. My business has only been around since March, so it's not very big yet. We don't stock most of the stuff we sell, and run it from home so there aren't very many overheads. Business is just starting to pick up at the moment, it was initially very slow with about 1 new (avg. $1700) PC a month, and about 4 or 5 parts orders. For this reason I have not been taking much in drawings, and live like any other 14 year old with no money. I have allowed some to pass to me, but assets not cash (ie. new computer). I also sell on trademe, this is just to get rid of the used stuff I constantly accumulate. Username jgindustries Starting the business was a massive learning experience - registering GST, getting a bank account etc. Making the website was also very educating - in fact the reason I learnt ASP. I'm sure most of you will remember at least a few of the many threads I have posted here regarding the website (those damn ASP scripting probs) or our (old, PIII, soon to be replaced) server. When I say "our" I mean me and my friend, also 14 who has an equal share in the business. I do most of the shop stuff though. We are working up to being able to stock nearly every item in 6 months or so (with only things like $3000 30 inch LCD monitors being nonstock). Cheers |

| 279482 | 2004-10-17 06:30:00 | " Another example, their 3.0GHZ FSB800 1MB Cache cpu is on 20 CENTS above my supply price. How the hell do they do this??? " Do they have a tier system based on volume buy sh#t loads and you get a cheaper price, buy a few pay more ? Be interesting to know what price the supplier lands them in nz for. |

| 279483 | 2004-10-17 06:34:00 | By the way 14 Holy crap. I take it you are not one of those spotty, cap on back to front, boom box addicted posers type 14 year olds. If you are no offence :-) But well done . |

| 279484 | 2004-10-17 06:39:00 | > That is why I frequent Ascent, because their service > is fast and hassle free. Exactly, I started out frequenting the bargain basement places like DragonPC, OEM Computers, E-One etc and after getting screwed around with terrible service (3 out of 4 separate orders from E-One I received the wrong product) and staff who struggled with the most basic of english I quit dealing with them. I deal pretty much exclusively with Ascent due to the awesome sales and service, forward replacements in the event of failure etc. I do deal with another smaller supplier whom I get staff discount through via my employer, however they are extremely reliable (and conveniently right next door). |
