Usually, one needs a tax license, a business plan, state reseller licenses, etc.

Visit this site and read how business works, before you decide the $$ is easy to come by.

You’ll need to round up MANY MANY thousand of dollars to get up and running. How much money do you have?

You’ll be competing against thousands of very established & reliable competitors. So your best method of getting peoples attention is to have better prices. Until you get established, you’ll have to purchase things like mobo’s in bulk in order to get your cost down. Keep in mind if you buy a couple hundred mobo’s that they’ll probably be old news before you sell them all. Then there’s the problem of all the nit wits that burn em up and want a replacement from YOU. You’ll then have to wait for credit from the people you got them from.

Doesn't sound like a fun endeavor to get into. Very tough, very tough to do.

I kinda have a stoe but its not all that large just local stuff for now.. looking into getting something going on the net. thats way I'm looking into ideas and things I can do.

are you talking about setting up an actual store with stock/inventory or a website store front. The store front is easy to do your basically a partnership with a company they hold all the stock and you are kind of like a middle man, but the actuall store takes alot of experience and know-how. And lots of money because you have to purchae your own inventory and have a place to store it all.

on another note...bumping your own thread after only 40mins is a lil much normally your supposed to wait a day just to let ya know
