Guest kamil234 Posted April 11, 2007 CID Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey, me and my friend would like to try to open up a little business of ours. There's alot of people out here that paintball and a field is only like 5 minutes away. We found a site online that sells paintballs for $20 a case, free shipping. We would look to resell it locally for $35 a case. Cheapest paint around here is $40 per case, better paint runs up to $80 a case. We don't know the quality of the paint we're going to get. We're gonna oreder 1 case tommorow to try it out and compare to the $40 case of paint i got at the local store. What do you guys think of this? We don't have a store or anything we're just trying to sell it to people we know and at school and stuff. you think it'll work out? FEEDBACK IS APPREACIATED.

Roco Posted April 11, 2007 CID Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi Kamil 234 , sounds like a good low cost start up biz , if it don't sell you can use the stock anyway , but given the proximity of the field and local players , you should do ok , the downside, you may upset the local stockists , so watch the legal/tax side of things , watch very carefully the legall responsibility , try and get some good advice on that , Good luck Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/18461-business-question/#findComment-217372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted April 11, 2007 CID Share Posted April 11, 2007 what you mean by that. is it not legal to buy stuff from a place and resell it? as for taxes and stuff. you don't have to put it down unless it exceeds like $2000 dollars or something?

Hi Kamil , I was thinking on the lines of you sell a product , the buyer gets injured using it , you get sued as the supplier for 1/2 Mil. $ USD , I cant be more specific than that as UK law is very different to the USA, I still sounds s viable scheme though , Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/18461-business-question/#findComment-217375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted April 11, 2007 CID Share Posted April 11, 2007 kamil234 I don't know about your states laws but in Florida you have to be 18 to sell any kind of ammunition for any weapon. You should check and see if your state will allow a minor to sell it.
