Possible store in USA

[puzzlemaster]

Hey guys. I've been looking into this for a while. I've been considering opening an online store. (I know people are probably getting sick of this by now...) However, I feel that I'll be able to have some pretty good prices. This is still tentative. However I have started to look into it and I was wondering if there were any products that you would like to see. Any suggestions are welcome.

My wholesaler is getting them in stock very soon. I also might be able to get clocks to sell...only problem is that they're not rubik's brand. Is that ok or is this against the knockoff policy?

 

[InfernoTowel]

GuHongs seem like a good idea, yeah. I think Maru 4x4s would be popular too.

Void cubes maybe?

 

[koreancuber]

I'M NOT KIDDING. I want banana cubes. the banana cube is probably the most famous speedcube in Korea. Banana cube = yellow Edison cube. It's said to have the highest quality plastic, and it lasts longer. ME WANTS BANANA CUBES

 

[puzzlemaster]

Ah the Marus. I will definitely do my best to get them. I am unsure however as to whether or not you will like the prices. Probably around 23 dollars. Void's I could definitely get for around 7.50.

Knockoff policy?


I would fo sho buy a clock yo. It would be the only place besides ebay where I wouldn't have to buy them from the UK, or somewhere even farther away.

Yea. That's precisely why I want to get them. They'll sell. However I'll only be able to get about 10 max. They'll be knockoffs however. If i do get them, they'll probably be around 15 bucks. Is that acceptable?

Wow, that's a big startup list. Hope you don't overwhelm yourself. But $15 for a clock is a little steep, but I'd probably still save up and get it

I'd probably just get a small number of the less popular or not hot items right now, just to scale popularity depending on your bulk discount.

Haha it's just a list of items i'm lookiing into getting. And I think that I will have a pretty decent amount of popularity as the prices should be pretty nice. For example, the F-II is expected to be around 9 bucks. And as far as the clock goes, I might lower it a little depending upon demand. However I feel as if it'll be something that people want.

...Is that ok or is this against the knockoff policy?

If you're concerned with KO's, then you shouldn't offer the following you listed:
yj 4x4
maru 4x4
yj 5x5
floppy cube
cheap void cube

The YJ 4x4, Maru 4x4, & YJ 5x5 all infringe the V-Cube patent:
http://www.v-cubes.com/pdf/European_patent.pdf
(See pages 27 & 30)
The cheap Void Cubes makers stole Katsuhiko Okamoto's design. The only legitimate place to order them is from cube2you.com:
http://cube2you.com/index.php?page=...d=575&vmcchk=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2
As for the Floppy cube, the original version was sold on Meffert's, but was discontinued. So any floppy cube you see now is a KO.

 

[Chapuunka]

I thought the Maru was modified somewhat so it wasn't actually a KO.

The Maru 4x4 uses a basic V-Cube mech, but they modified it so that there is a very faint clicking, and it goes away with breaking in.
