too steep for me but good luck in your ventures. i suggest trying to find rare stuff that not a lot of people have.

Take Hogjowlz advice.....find something original to sell. Not too many are selling the boats or Rigs for example. Those are going to be hot sellers. That price for Bits will be fine. Just try to keep the shipping down for those from the U.S. that want to order from you.

Here's a list of cars you should consider.

Find out if you can get a hold of MotorWorks. I doubt it, but an on-line source would be huge. As much as I hate them, Nakamichi's are good internet sellers. Shens, Panthers and Charg'n-go's are as well. Look for the NKOK die-cast cars. Those are VERY hard to find on-line. So far only one on-line source has them and that source absolutely SUCKS! hmmmm...what else? Show that your site is diverse and offer some larger scale mini's like the Radi-cans and Palms. I prefer Epochs and Mini-Z's, but those might not be for the beginning seller. Might take too much of your capital away from the Micro's. Here's my last helpful (hopefully) tip; Sell original products from individuals. Suntzus and others make bodies. See if you can work something out with them and sell those. Find those aluminum rims from Germany and sell those too. Someone mentioned making custom chassis'. If you're talented, put together some affordable LED kits or find someone who can. The more you offer, the better. Get a game plan, then let me know what you've come up with. I'll gladly help you with search engine placement for straight up trades. One more thing....Give people another reason to visit your site other then to buy from you. Something that'll make others in our hobby talk and refer. Like Tiny has done. He's created the #1 forum out there. Others have decided to list mods and pictures. If you're really serious about this and want it to be a success, it's going to take a lot more then just posting pics and price tags. JMO!

I'm a little bit ahead of you...if I can raise the money needed for my Canadian bit site, then I could be offering Caterpillars, SuperCars Reborn, the new Pullbacks....the works!

hey stridex.
i have already tried to get though to the german site selling the rims.
but im not sure who actually produced those things.
And wots this i hear bout rigs.
my dads girlfriend lives in america and she is hopefully gonna find a source selling these nkok boats and cars.
at the moment i am on the internet non stop looking around for cheap bulk goods.
my dad has his own buisness that imports and then exports cds.
so this person hu am not alowwed to mention(trade secret)
might have contacts that do rc cars and stuff.
i am looking forward to doing this.
plus i am gonna ask my dad if he knows some good handlers for the goods. and cheap.
thanks to u all for the really good advise.

This site sells in bulk at wholesale prices. There's a link at the top that says wholesale. You have to email him so I don't know his prices. I'm sure he'll work with you.

The site also sells the Rigs. Their steering sucks, but they FLY. I got mine in yesterday. They come with dual batteries.

You could try selling Microsizers im not sure if they would let you though u probably have to be older than 18. Here the link anyways: Want to Sell Microsizers?
