    jimmy, I think justpaper is pointing out that indierocker has no chance of buying and selling games from his shop at anywhere near the price of his would be competitors.

    i think that you could sell christmas hampers , you could buy the stuff in bulk and make them up and get ready to sell loads, then you could do valentines day gifts then easter all variations on one idea ..

    Nice idea but he'll need a licence to supply any form of alchohol in the hampers, or were you just thinking food? in which case what about all the periods in between these occasions, he'll just end up with a shop full of groceries and in competition with the local corner shop. Before you know it he'll have a lottery machine, DVD rental rack & load of stale sandwiches he can't get rid of:rotfl:

    I couldn't make any sense of "29£ for cod5 trade price". I guessed "cod" was cash on delivery but couldn't work out the 5 - or why the pound sign was after the 29. And had the same problem with the second half of the sentance.
    But I now see that it is "Call of Duty 5" and I presume "gow2" is another game.

    all prices are wholesale, for 25units, sorry i should of pointed out these are xbox 360 titles, i dont give out suppliers details, but games-asia.com is cheapest retailer,

    just telling indierocker85 he would have to put out alot of money to hold all the different game titles in stock,

    your idea about - Ebay seller, would be a great long term idea even if he advertises it as a sub service and the main trade/service being something else,

    jimmy,.

    cod5 = call of duty 5
    gow2 = gears of war 2

    anyways , good luck indierocker8, business is a long term learning curve that branches off to many different sections,just do something you have inside knowledge about, dont rush into it, always another xmas,

    The market stalls that do well near us sell things like discontinued lines such as Next towels and bedding and M&S clothes and underwear at knock down prices. We want to buy quality at low prices.

    Old fashioned sweet stalls also do well too.

    Stalls that are struggling sell Cards, Cheese, Roller blinds, non designer clothes and tat.
