[QUOTE="stangin99, post: 7814751, member: 20208"] I used to have a legit one when I was 16-ish. Ran an online paintball retail store for maybe a year at the most. Biggest problem was coming up with money to make an initial order from distributors. Back then there were not a lot of online stores so the paintball distributors wanted photos of the store, square footage, and a large initial order. Sometimes I swung it, sometimes I just didn't use a distributor. Because I was young and into paintball, I ended up spending most of my profits on buying gear for myself and supplied my team(we were locally sponsored as well) with gear. After I graduated I seriously looked into re-opening it, but there are a LOT more online stores now then when I did it. The market is flooded and I would think that I would need to actually purchase stock to make my prices competitive. Unless you're talking about those ads you hear on tv/radio about selling electronics, then no I have no experience with those shoddy things. [/QUOTE]
