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.
