Tool Manufacturers

Bonjakob

Hi..
I would like to start selling bonsai tools,pots and trees here in Finland, but I have no idea where to buy them.

I've alreday asked a person, but he didn't say where he gets all his stuff, just that he's the only one who is allowed to import it.. He offered to sell me whatever I needed but everything he has is SO expensive. If i'd buy from him I'd have to sell the stuff even more expensive and then people would continue ordering from other countries.

So.. where can I find those mass-producers?

You can check the prices HERE It seems that they are an importer and their prices are pretty darn good. I would assume that shipping is pretty expensive, but it may be worth it if you are getting enough stuff.

Hope this helps

If you contact companies directly thats probably your best bet, this guy sounds like he wants a bit of a monoply on the bonsai tool industry in finland, so id google for companies like Joshua Roth.

Cheers

I thought that old Joshua Roth wanted a monopoly in the US ;o)

rowan57

yeah i suppose but i would think he would like sellers everywhere and maybe able to provide things at more reasonable prices than this other guy.

Not necessarily true.
But then that is life in the business world. The only way to do it is to get tools fairly cheap and import them in large quantities. Allow for a reasonable mark up. Then beat out the competition. This is true for any import. The last guy standing is the winner.
Problem is that most people don't have the capitol to do this. Doing things like this on a small scale is not cost effective.

thanks for the site.. everything was much cheaper there than in other places..

But I didn't find out if it was quality tools.. hmm..

and yeah,,

''Problem is that most people don't have the capitol to do this''

heh, I buy 5 tongs, ~150€, I sell them for 250€.
then i buy 5 tongs and 5 pots, ~250€, I sell them for 400€
then i buy 5 scissors, 5x20 litre akadama and 5 pots, 400€, i sell them for 650€..
then I find a Gorgeous Ficus in town only 639.99€.. I say ''YaHOOO'' and buy it...

hmm..

then i buy 15 figurines for those 10€ that is still have.. i sell them for 11€..

then I go to google and type: E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N....

When you go to Google don't forget to look up things like shipping and duty charges. Not to mention losses and breakage in transit. After that factor in storage and some sort of retail area. The list goes on and on .

Ouch.. then i can't afford the gorgeous ficus. =/..
i'll just have to wait a couple of years (how about 20?)
and maybe then my economy is good enough to start a bonsaishop, in a land which hasn't even got it's own bonsai society
