What can I do?

I recently ventured into the distributing sector of region 1 adult content dvd's, my supplier (the manufacture) Has a stable and reputable history. I have been doing this for about a year and since I started, I have grossed 190k... Not too bad considering Im 22, and the people who buy from me still stand to make HUGE profits at the retail level or sub-distributing. but I feel their is plenty more to be made. Right now I sell a minimum of 25 per order with a "no cap" order limit, and can sell anywhere between 1k and 10k any givin week, $1.30 per dvd (gross average)... I understand the internet is over saturated with Adult content and people claiming to have "wholesale" priced items... My fear is that if I was to develope a site, I would be overlooked due to category saturation passiveness. Should I attempt to develope an affiliate program, proceed with a web-site, or just settle with the "brick and morter" concept of sales? I really would like to expand my business thus generate more revenue, but fear the revenue/time consumption might not return as great a profit as current. As of late, all my sales are paid for via phone, person to person, or E-mail. I am licensed to distribute adult content, and do impliment a "no sale" list of regions in the US which do not authorize Adult content sales. Not looking for any legal advice in the matter, just advise as to starting a web-site or not. Should category saturation passiveness be a reason to not start a site?

ResellerRatings is a site for consumers to read and write reviews of online retailers, and to compare prices of products at different stores. I don't think this is the best venue to ask a business/retail/affiliate sales question.

Im sorry if my questions direction wasn't implied clearly or I still may be asking the wrong audiance, but I was directing my question to consumers... would you as a consumer pass a website or advertisement if it was flasing ADULT DVDS AS LOW AS 1.00 EACH!!, my assumption would be you would since a million other sites say this... But response from a consumer audiance would be the only way of knowing if the site should be a go or a nogo.

Hey, I just figured it out.

Back on topic.
I would also say no as at $1.00 each you could not possibly be covering your overhead costs. Even at bulk rates dvd's cost ~20 cents. Add in royalties and copyrights. Well, you get the idea.

chefbuckeye is infamous around these parts
To be honest, I would probably skip right by an ad stating they have Adult DVD's as low as $1. Assuming it was either a bait and switch, scam, one of those pay "$1 for the item and backend the real cost on shipping", or non-legit site looking to install some unwanted material on my computer. I usually live by the old "ya get what ya pay for" rule. Good luck to you though.
