| I think that you should make a store where you can actually buy stuff (with real money not spudbux)... stuff like tasers, pvc pipe in general, valves, compressors, fittings, rifled pvc pipe, chronographs, et cetera |

i like that idea also, but from business stand point, it would be tough to keep priceing low enough to be practiable, the overhead would be-shipping materials, place to do it, transportation + assocated fees, office supplies, and all the time it takes to set it all up and do it, its a bigger under takeing then you probly relized, before i forget theres all the taxes and permits, shoping cart feature on web site, did i mention the time it takes
ive been in business for myself 10 years now, it gets tough some times |

| i agree with you that you probably wouldn't make a huge profit but i expect that you could make a small p[rofit off of it... and there is really no competition... its much better than having to go to twenty different websites to get all ur parts... |

if your in the usa, you need a sales and use tax permit to collect sales taxes from customers in your state, as for licenses, internet based businesses arent mandated yet,(far as i know), you need to check with your countys circet court clerk, thats were i get my licenses, cost me about 25 a year for what i do
TECH TIP----ALL WAYS CHECK WITH COURT CLERK 1st TO KEEP OUT OF TROUBLE---IN CASE OF USA SALES ACROSS STATE LINES TURNS IT INTO A FEDRAL THING,(BIG FINES, NO BREAKS) |

Selling anything on here woulden't turn enough profit to even care about. The only way I would sell something is if I was able to make it all myself for a low price and resell it here for a large profit (that's how all businesses work  ).
Since I don't plan on custom building anything here soon, you shoudlen't expect a *real* store. However if anyone is so inclinded to start providing custom pieces that are needed (like a store, not something you'd post in Classifieds), they are welcome to contact me about it and maybe we can work something out. |
