Are there websites that sells used Bicycles? I have tried a few US sites and they look expensive for someone to make profit.

Please share if you know.

Go to Agege and talk to a seller there. They will show you the way. It boils down to your manner of approach and thanking them with a monetary value. All the very best.

Lol. They won't show you how to import it but show you where they buy it and also the rudiments of the business. See, If you want to be importing on your own, you might just ended up importing at high costs compared to buying here. There are very large importers already that there is no way you can meet the quantity they import which makes them sell at cheap prices. Is it not better buying from them and sell quick and make your profit quick than importing and waiting for days and the stress of been on the computer talking to seller, talking to shipping agents, exchange rate wahala and all that. You can save yourself that stress
Come to think of it again, bicycle that you import sef wey be say, na you go come dey fix some parts for here when they land naija and that's what those agege people do, they buy a bike skeleton at a very cheap price and fix the remaining parts themselves and they buy at a very cheaper rate and you buy at an expensive rate and you are still going through same stress with them.

See, I learnt an expensive lesson during the dollar crisis. There is a product I normally buy from Alibaba. Each cost 1250 down to Nigeria including shipping cost. I was surprised when I got to idumota and bought same product for just 200 per piece. Same quality! Look at that huge balance. What happened? I bought from a market that import in containers and not the meagre quantity I do buy from Alibaba hence that great difference. Since then, I have learnt that, if the quality won't supercede what is nearby as that is a selling point and it's cheaper nearby, it's better to buy nearby.

I don't think, there is a different quality you are looking for in those bikes. Even if there is, look within first.

Wish you all the very best.

okay thanks a lot. well we are buying 200 pcs of the bicycle and that is why I need main source. I am checking 1688.com as Alibaba.com looks expensive and i have seen some going equivalent of $30-$35 per one. what do you think at that price?

I once priced used bicycle last year in my area and they were saying 30k per one. So you see?
