Can I charge all my UK stuff (ipod, laptop, etc) in Brazil as I'm travelling there end of year?
Stuff like: PSP player laptop Ipod Speakers, etc Where I am going is not a tourist hotel so voltage is not 220v but just your ordinary 120v.

Answer 1 :
if you know a bit about electronics you could buy a stepup transformer that creates 220v out of 120v

Answer 1 :
Some regions have 110v and other regions have 220v (always states). There are someplaces that can provide both to you. You need check with your Hotels. Please check if your laptop and camcorder are able to run within this range.... or else, you will need to buy "transformador" there that will provide correct voltage to you

Selling laptops to Latin American consumers
Selling laptops to Latin American consumers?
I have a friend who regularly purchases a laptop in the $1,500 range, travels to Brazil with it, and sells it for double the price. The profit pays for his plane ticket. Is there a way to do this legally with refurbished laptops through advertising on ebay or other public marketplace?

Answer 1 :
You have to remember one thing. Laptops and digital camera equipment is 'cheap' in its own way here in the US compared to countries like the European East block, some African countries and South America. EBay is not going to do it since they are not trading there, even if the potential client can see it on line, the payments and delivery will be a problem. What will help [to the best of my knowledge] is to get someone on the other side to act as an agent or advertise directly with them and hope they don't answer in their native tongue! My mate from Romania is doing the exact same thing and he is making quite some good profit! They CAN get it cheaper if they search around, but if you can get it sold, why not!

Answer 1 :
I'm not sure exactly where you're sending it from, or where you're sending it to, but here's what I found by saying I'd send it from Sao Paolo, Brazil (04552-050) to Apple in Seattle, WA (98104). I chose to send it with your own packaging, and had the custom value of $1500 US Dollars and the declared value (important insurance) also of $1500 US Dollars. I said the package weighed about 5 KGs (11 lbs). At www.ups.com, the price for sending it ranged from $152 - $195, which takes from 3 - 6 days. The $160 option (UPS Express Saver) seemed the best option if you're in a hurry, as it takes 4 days. Insurance was really only about $5, so you definitely want to make sure you get that. At www.fedex.com, the price for sending a package was $140 US Dollars. However, it was requested that I specify what was in the package, and when I specified that it was a laptop, the price did jump up to $220. I'm not sure if that's a requirement or not. It took 3 days, so you could get it there by the 24th if you send it tomorrow. I wasn't able to get a price quote at www.dhl.com because I'd have to register, and I don't feel like doing that. Hopefully this gives you an idea about whether it's cost effective to do this. Aren't there Apple stores in Brazil now? I don't speak Portugese, but maybe if you go to this site you can find a distributor to return it to there. http://latam.apple.com/buy/br/ Otherwise, you could always eBay it, though you'd probably take a hit equal to or greater than the shipping. Good Luck
