[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 1905050, member: 53"] Also, this helps get stuff that's not moving off the shelves. Every bit of shelf space is costing you money. Don't waste it on things that aren't going to sell, use it for things that don't. This doesn't mean only carry the hot things. However, be judicious about how much space you allot to things that are slower movers. Of course, this is a lot of work for very little profit. Indeed, you'll probably find you'll be sitting on a lot of this stock unless you price it extremely cheaply (such as the commons and such). I'd only recommend doing this if you are willing to put in a lot of effort to keep it moving and make sure you price things at the going rate. I [B]don't[/B] recommend this. If it's something that's available in places like Toys 'R Us, you won't be able to come close to being competitive. They are often selling it for less than you'll get it for from your distributor. In this area, stick to things that are exclusive to hobby stores or that you know you can sell for their normal selling prices. [/QUOTE]
