/biz/ how do I find out what a certain country is in desperate need for, what is extremely expensive in said country because there is such a great need for it and sell it to those people?
I have a great deal of need for money, I will be visiting that country and that is how I intend to survive while I am over there.
What is the right questions I should be asking? What should I research. I know it could be really obvious but I don't quite know how to go about this step.

As someone who makes a living from importing and reselling foreign goods I do not think you will be able to find an opportunity for straight arbitrage in a European country (but I could be wrong)
Any commodity product that is not contraband will be so competitive you can't make a profit. It's very unlikely there will be a shortage of anything.
What you need to do is find a problem and import a product that can solve it. You don't want people phoning you to buy 100 widgets, you want them phoning you because they have a problem and your website popped up when they googled the problem.
So it doesn't really matter what the product is, what you need to do is identify a problem in Latvia that needs solving
Hope that makes sense

That makes perfect sense. You have definitly given me the starting point I am looking for.
I believe I am smart enough and capable enough to pull this off, I also have a reasonable grasp on finance and business but for some reason when it came to this, I think I overwhelmed myself with question and possibility.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?
(Also thank you very much for your reply)
>>2101147
Try asking boards with flags.
>>2101295
Did that, they were to interested in porn I am thinking.
>>2101273
Sorry, I re-read. I know what you do. Can I ask how long you have been doing it?
>>2101286
>If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?
I intentionally omitted that because it is an extremely good niche for me and I want to keep it that way. I am consistently making 60-70% profit on the products I am selling which is phenomenal and ripe for competition. Obscurity is protecting my margins.
But it's not because there is a shortage of these products, anyone can buy them on alibaba for cheap just like me, they just don't know what products they need while I do.
Suffice to say I am importing some extremely obscure commercial equipment
>>2101313
I have been running my business for 5 years now
>>2101318
What country are you in, if you dont mind me asking?
Perhaps we could be of use to each other in one way or another?
>>2101326
I am in Australia
>>2101328
Me too, for the minute.
>>2101342
well good luck friend
you could even start just by poking around alibaba and looking for something unusual but useful. something you've never heard of before.

Thank you sir. I will. You have made my entire month.
