Dear Friends from the Mini disc 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.
