So... what if I go to the United States and get 5 wiis to resell them for 330 dollars in Mexico? The price for a Wii here is 400 dollars, I would be giving them for less money than they are worth in my country and i would be getting a healthy profit? would that make me a douchebag too?

Considering how great the US dollar is performing you may be better off just having them pay you in pesos. 

 Also keep in mind that taking items across the border will result in you having to pay import taxes on them too which will minimize any profit that you could make as well as the hassle it would be.


I have not done it, and of course i would be paid in pesos i just used dollars for comparison purposes. Also dont worry about import taxes you can always manage to get them to the other side hehe, I bought mine in USA along with3 of my friends who got one each at launch and we didnt import them we just went through the border with our personal belongings. That also happened to include a Wii for each one of the car occupants hehe.

 

The thing is I would be giving them for a lot cheaoer than it is around here with no shortage and the trip is costlier than the profit, but since i would be doing the trip anyway and buy many other things for myself it wouldnt really matter.
