I have actually imported headphones from China to resell. That was when I was in campus. I started the business because I was in an environment where there were many young people and it is natural for them to be enthusiasts if tech stuffs. And to say the very truth, the business really boomed. I used Ali Express to place orders for those headsets on a cheap from China and sold it at double the price. There is always a gap to exploit and start a reselling business if you look around well.
