@legendster
Thanks for the heads-up. Had I bought one before posting here, I may have got stuck with the card or may have had to sell at below buy price, if newegg delivers to India and custom + shipping charge on the graphics card is below 5k.

I am not sure if you meant the card is priced below 5k? or you want to make 5k profit.

The way I see it you would include some surcharge for your own travel & expense in the price of the card, in a way the least someone would get a 10000 INR card from you is by paying you 15000 INR.

Then you have 2 issues, why would people buy from you cards that are that cheap and not buy from flipkart / local shop etc?
And if they can pay less than that 5k for shipment then why would they buy from you?

I have myself bought from newegg stuff worth $600 in total and didn't need to pay any customs or whatever.

What I am trying to say is, is there any significant advantage when it comes to buying from you?
Also, if you are looking to import expensive stuff that isn't available locally, say like a few dozen rare x3380 processors then why would anyone trust you? Are you offering some form of collateral for safekeeping with someone on this forum?

Was thinking of making 5k profit on a card of around 500 USD which is not easily available in India or available at an expensive price.

No customs for 600 USD from newegg. That's cool. When I bought L3+ in july, I had to pay 65000 INR customs + DHL handling charges. That was for 1 L3+ and 1 PSU!!! Have another coming in 21-30 sep batch. This I might sell on olx for 1 btc. had paid .9 btc as this batch was expensive.
