Speedcubing store IN THE USA

[Ranzha]

I think we should go to http://tinychat.com/cubingweekly to discuss things further.
Also, what about ES 2x2?

EDIT: Or not.... Skype anyone?

Do you realize how a store works? You don't buy cubes from the competition, you buy wholesale, or in my case a store that sells almost every cube really cheap. As a matter of fact, that store has all the cube you just named and more.

Do you really think that popbuying.com isn't your competition? You will be buying it at retail and selling it for slightly above retail prices. Your not a dealer, popbuying.com isn't your distributor. You are a customer like everyone else. Your no better equipt to get these cubes then anyone else. The entire business model is flawed. and It's funny that you question his understanding of how a retail store works, when it's obvious you yourself don't have a clue. At very best you will be making pennies off this.

If you figure in your time and effort, then all the cost associated with shipping them you will have no margin left for profit. Your business is more like a for non profit company that prevents cubers from waiting an extra week.

Just look at the guy on these forums with the Edsions. They are in the USA no one cares, is he able to mark them up and make profit off of them? of course not.

How much start up capital do you even have?

oh wait, Never mind :fp

Uhm, Blackberry, Caedus is getting stock from dealers such as YJ as a vendor for vendor prices. Because of this, the Cubing Weekly store has a stronger foundation than you think. Also, it is being discussed in real time by the three of us (Caedus, iSpinz, and me) on what features we should add and whatnot for the very reason that we want people to buy.
For the record, we already have potential buyers.

Even so, you are completely correct about buying from other dealers, but if you're getting a stock from a website as a vendor, you are no longer in normal customer status. Do remember it costs money to make money.

Ok it's obvious you've all done your home work. I'm amazed no one else has tried this before. Oh yeah thats right.

It's sarcasm, iSpinz. We don't talk with UNMENTIONABLES.

@Blackberry: Do you have suggestions? Those sure beat insults.

Cool, I'm a YongJun Plastics products dealer now too. Holy crap they are fast to get back in touch with people that have questions. Amazing customer service so far and the wholesale prices are fair.

I' m looking at the costs right now, and it might actually work. I will consider doing what you guys are doing now. But I will prolly just put them on ebay. With all the other stuff I sell.

Thanks for the source!

See what I mean?
Buying from manufacturers and competition isn't bad. It produces CASH FLOW. Woot.

Good to see you're doing well nao, so any suggestions for us at the store here?

This is a real person or its a very good machine. each of my questions have been answered. I have the vendors list, I like the helicopters as well as the cubes.

It should be 06:00 there, so I bet people work multiple shifts.
I myself am not a vendor since I will hold no stock for this store. Because of this, please don't come to me for store item answers.

I stand corrected guys, I figured you were just going to resale what popbuying had. But now that I see whats avalible and the prices for them I see this has potential.

Ranzha, I never forgot that it takes money to make money, That's the first rule of business. Second rule: Don't reveal your supplier, unless you want competition.

I'm gonna give it a go see what I can make of it.

Thanks again.

 

[iSpinz]

6 more days.

The name of the company in question (YJ) isn't exactly a secret. We didn't hand you their contact information, you apparently found that yourself.
