The thing is, there is no argument here. We are simply providing criticism and then defending our criticisms when they get called baseless. The guy keeps saying one thing and then changes their mind after getting called out. That’s all that’s happened. No real argument here.
soooo thats the scientific word of argument?
 
I don't think people here are giving you criticism because they hate new small business or something. Consider that the two big US cubing stores were setup by speedsolving forum members (@camcuber and @a small kitten). It's just that it's hard to do and there is so much that goes into it, including customer service and liability and shipping and taxes etc
 
tl;dr of thread:

OP: "Look at this awesome idea I have, please give me feedback on it so I can get it started as best as I can!"
Others: "Here's some constructive criticism, maybe you really shouldn't do this idea, it doesn't seem feasible."
OP: "How presumptuous of you to assume I wanted to start this idea!"
Others: "You literally said that you wanted to start this up in several places, why are you denying it?"
OP: "No denial here, you're right I had major ambitions for this idea."
Others: "...?!?!"

Sure, it's a disagreement and probably an argument by definition, but it's hard to call something a true argument when it's not even a difference of opinion, but merely showing the other side their own contradictory statements.

My thoughts on this thread can only be summed-up by paraphrasing Forrest Gump, "sometimes there isn't enough popcorn".

On witnessing the steady increase of tantrums from the OP, building to the full super-saiyan of "this is why I don't post here anymore", the only puzzle left to solve (pun and OP paraphrase intended), is whether, after throwing so many toys out of his pram, will the OP have any left to actually rent out?
 
Anybody who has been cubing more than a month could do basic research to buy a cube, also there might be a reason nobody has done this yet. Not trying to be cruel but don't want to see money go down the drain for something that might not succeed.

Which is why I gave my earlier advice, don’t go out and buy $XXXX of cubes. Start with what you have, and slowly expand. Worst case scenario, some jerks steals your cubes and you don’t have his CC on file to charge. Second worse case, no one wants to rent the cubes. Sell them on eBay or something and get most of your money back.
