I don't disagree, i am saying i haven't given research to that point yet, however i feel the effects shouldn't be that much on what i have now. Granted i may be wrong, but i'd like to find out for myself, not be told i am wrong.

I think tis more down to you not liking the fact i've "broke a rule" and now you are trying to give me a hard time.

I didn't ask for business advice.. i asked for insights of prices and demand. So really i don't know where all this is coming from.

Read your first post again. :confused:
You said you were researching what business you could run best in Spain, then halfway through the thread you decide you are a student doing a paper on it. :confused::confused:

I was researching prices of British goods in Spain, to see what kind of prices the suppliers are charging currently, as i feel the prices are alot higher than what they should be.

I was confirming the price of goods. I didn't ask if the business is viable.


I've been thinking about business ideas for spain for a while, so i can move out and make a living, personally whenever i'm visiting, typical english food goods cost a fortune, i haven't been to mainland spain in a while, so i'm unsure to how true this is now.
This is a statement, to give background to my question, it does not say: "Is this business viable?" - It is simply asking, how much are British goods in Spain, am i correct in saying that generally they are alot more expensive than you would find in UK-based supermarkets.

Yes, i'm a student, at Coventry University. In my final year, starting in September, i will need to do a "project", in which you research an area, and produce a report - this is spread throughout the final year. I feel, the import/export of British goods would be a good topic to base this report, as it clearly requires a great depth of research, it involves the need to opinions on products and prices, however i have not decided, i do have other subjects, which i may choose instead. I also feel, if i find that a business within this market would be viable, then perhaps i would open some sort of business, as stated in the first post.

You can make money selling British Food stuffs in Spain.
I did for 2 years, good money at that.
Buy for 50p sell for a quid as you put it!!
In fact some lines that the local shops sold for 5€ I was selling for €3, in the hundreds, and still making 800% yes EIGHT HUNDRED PER CENT profit.
It's not WHAT you know...it's WHO you know. :thumbsup:

It would have been nice if you had taken the time to read our site rules before starting this thread. A lot of people have gone to the trouble of answering your questions only to discover its part of a paper for school. That's really not being fair on their time, is it?

From the site rules

10. The forums/private message, blog and email system are not to be used for the purpose of research, (questions, surveys or polls). Any such posts found will be removed without notice. From time to time university students wish to use the forums for educational research etc, in these instances prior approval must be sought from the site administrators first, if approval is not sought then the posts will be removed.
I am closing this thread.
