<P>Do any of you commercially-minded entrepreneurial types have any suggestions about how to sell 40 litres of freshly milled, organic, virgin olive oil for the best possible price here in London this Christmas?</P>
<P>It can be packaged in 1-litre or 250ml bottles, attractively labelled.</P>
<P>I am looking into how much it's going to cost to transport it (from the Italian mountains) to London, the import tax and so on. It may be just much too expensive to consider. The main problem is that I've never done commerce or sales of any kind so I've no idea how to set about trying to make a return on it. Would it have to have some kind of proof of origin? How do I set the price? Should I go round all the Italian delis or restaurants in the area to see if they're interested? A stall at Camden market? Try flogging it on the Internet? Any suggestions?</P>
<P>Actually,this feels a bit like a task for The Apprentice. I'm Fired!</P>
