Electronics sourcing — specs before price

In electronics, the wrong “almost” costs more than waiting for the right unit. Storage, RAM, generation, sealed vs open-box — small words, big money.

BigAboki sources like-for-like. Price comes after the spec is locked.

Write the SKU, not the dream

  • Model name and number
  • Storage / RAM / colour
  • Network type if it matters (e.g. dual SIM)
  • Condition: new, sealed, or acceptable alternatives

“Latest iPhone, good camera” is not a procurement line. “iPhone 13, 128GB, midnight, new sealed” is.

Attach the listing you want

A screenshot from a trusted reference beats memory. We’ll hunt that configuration — or tell you what’s actually on the ground.

Why we won’t “just get a cheaper one”

Unless you ask for alternatives, swapping specs to hit a lower price isn’t a favour. It’s a different product. Your quote should reflect the item you’d accept at the door.

Markets still help

Computer Village and related hubs often beat lazy online markups — if someone verifies the unit. That’s the procurement job: show up, check, price, then fulfil after you approve.
