Suggestions for starting a cube shop?

Why would you admit that the first look people got of your product was with a sucky cube? You should have waited to do the vid and then cleaned your cube, because first impressions are everything
 
So I bought this cube from you today, but it's not for me, but for my friend (she has a really sucky rubik's knockoff).
I like how it's super smooth and how quiet it is when turning.
However, I must say that the corner cutting isn't all that amazing (most dayan cubes can do it).
Another thing is that the turn speed isn't that fast. However, this is good for my purposes because my friend needs a controllable cube right now. I think that as the lube wears down a little the cube will get faster.
Overall, the feel of the cube is awesome, but performance wise it's not that fast.
 
That is interesting... I would start with a big.cartel and only have two or three of each cube in stock. Make a video and see how well it does. Most people's cubes can turn already like that. Or can watch a video on YouTube of how to lube it really well. I don't know how well it will do

As I said before, that cube was my suckish one, still some gunk in the hardware. That is why I sold it to you for a substantially lower price than I say in this thread. If it were the new one, It would have been better. I have a DIY 55mm Zhanchi on the way, that I will make the video from. That's also why I made those videos private, since the reaction. If I am able to bribe my friend on tuesday to let me borrow it, you will have a better video. The white face for some reason on that cube is a little wierd, just so you know. I am also working on a youtuber opinion, I have gotten some offers for reviewing so that will be set up. For god of rubic 2 and iluvleelee, same thing I just said.

Heres the new turning Q vid:

I can get my Zhanchi to cut that far, easily. It is all to do with the tensions. It is better to tension it so it can cut evenly both forward and back which I can get it to almost 45 without modding anything. You are never going to cut that far in an actual solve after all.

(honestly if you do you need to relearn proper alignment ;) lol)
 
This cube is not modded, just lubed. I get that the corner cutting isn't as important, and I focused more on the turning quality. It has a very crispy feel:D

The shop is now open for orders. The special opening sale(read thread starter) will end in 10 days.
Also, good news, I have sent a test cube to a youtuber for an opinion!
