Dear Friends from the Minidisc Community,
A few months ago, I decided to sell MiniDisc and accessories with a friend
of mine on the Internet. For me, it was a �on the side business�. I decided
to do that because I am a music fan and I�ve found that the Mini-Disc was a
good media to record and listen to my favorite music. It is recordable, can
contain as much information as a CD, and is quite affordable to everybody.
I decided to get involve in selling this type of media because I liked it,
and to serve as much as I could the Minidisc community, period. To make
money was not my first intention. I have also learn how complicated it was
to build a business with a good service on the net. If anybody tried that
already you probably know what I am talking about. All that is involved was
in enormous amount of work for me. Building the web page, following up
orders, organizing the shipping, purchasing and maintaining a minimum
inventory, finding not expensive carrier for shipping, trying to have
tracking capabilities for the service, etc�
On the top of that, the follow up on those who were not satisfied and were
complaining about every detail and were trying to get the most for their
money�that was not an easy task, and I had to admit that I also have my own
life and I started to feel the influence of this pressure that was just
growing and growing. But, I remember my first goal. It was to help the
MiniDisc community get good products at an interesting price.
So, today, I am about to close my store on the Internet and I will do a
Big Liquidation Sale for all the products I have in stock!
I want to leave a message to those who have supported me during those few
months. Thank you very much. Thank you very much also to those I tried to
serve but I didn�t meet your expectation. I feel sorry about that�but I
learn something. The Internet is not an easy way to make business and build
relationship, not more than in the real world.
Maybe some of you will think I give up too fast, but it is too demanding
right now for my personal life and for the real work I really do for living.
This work is more related to the giftware wholesale market for the company
Kheops International. I thank you all for your understanding and if you have
any comments you can drop a word in my email, I will be more than happy to
share your thoughts.
I encourage you also to visit my competitors (especially Les lee from Music
Mixers for his friendly and reliable service� (www.musicmixers.com) and
those who give a good service to the Mini-Disc community and to see them as
human beings who just want do their best to live in this business.
Never forget that behind a Web page or a computer there is a human being
with feelings and thoughts just like you, who only use this technology as a
media to promote an idea or a product. Technology is neutral. The way we use
it, depends if it�s for good or bad.
Thanks to all of you.
