Idea

[ACtournyguy]

The local pro shop buy me will sell things at wholse prices to other paintball shops, you have to get a wholesa;e accoutn with them, you mush verify your busness lisence and tax id, so i had an idea. What if i where to get a busness lisence and tax id and start a online sotre that would sell paintball products at wholesale prices, basicly so i can get all my stuff at wholesale pricing, but i could also share benifits to you, all you have to do is pay shipping and a small 10 dollar fee for my handeling.

Do you think it would work?

So basically you're starting an online paintball store in which you sell products for virtually no profit... uh yea, sounds great.:D

sounds good to me.

But every third day of the week you should have a 100% off sale, just to be safe.

lol, me and my dad where talking we are going to look into it, i am online goign to charge like 10 bucks + shipping, you see my dad has a small business and we are goign to see if on the bussness lisence is sys what they do because if it doesnt i can just use his tax id because they have wholsale accounts with people who sell parts for computers, y not paintball?

The reson i thought of this is a say the wholesale thign on there site and thought of how rediculas some prices for stuff are, like if i can get paint for 30 dollars a case instead of 50 or 60 y not?

But if the opertion grows into a store i will ahve to raise prices because i dont want to put everyone else out of busness prices will still be low but not that low. who nos if it will happen i might just get lazy and not do it, but it would be cool to get stuff at whole sale prices, i already have a site im starting to make, hehe.

have fun writing all the cgi scripts for your shopping cart...

tell us when you finish,

it isnt possible to sell things like that and beat bigger competitors prices without buying high quantities...for example...wholesale for the least quantity for a c98 is about 119...you can get them retail for 121 or 122 because the big companies buy 100's or 1000's at a time and pay well below 119...

another problem with the idea, alot of distributors are starting to tell retailers that you cant charge less than a certain amount for a specific product...

and yet another thing...if these distributors find out you're giving out wholesale prices to just anyone, they will cancel your account with them...

Dont forget the fact that if you sell stuff for the price you pay plus shipping your going to loose money fast.

1. Mainly because A. it costs a bit of money to get a buisness license whole sale license etc..

2. If you setup a website your going to have to pay for stuff like bandwidth, buy a domain name etc... Then it gets even more expensive if you want to do online shoping cart and accept credit card payments.

THat doesnt even cover you costs in gas to go get all these products. It might get expensive if you getr 300 people ordering stuff from you ever week and most of them are buying a case of paint. Unless you have a huge van or truck that takes alot of trips to move everything. Plus your basically doing all the grunt work for zero return.

I think that alone would get old really quick.

Sorry to burst your little bubble it isn't realy worth the trouble. Just start your illegal dummy company (that's what it really is, Enron did it) and just get in it for yourself. Don't worry about us our friends and family that have their own business can do it themselves.

I have an idea. You order 10 Angel IR3s, and give 9 of them to me . Then I can sell them on ebay for 600 dollars each and make a profit.


Oh, and if you want I'll give ya a quick 20 bucks for your trouble.
