The way people are right now they are looking for bargains, and the higher the cost the less you sell. I have started several businesses and kept my costs down by not over stocking things right away. Look around your area how is the economy and will you be able to compete if there is another store like yours. If you are looking at selling on line just have to say there are many online stores to compete with. I took a business classes that really helped me learn how things work there is so much that needs to be accounted for. Learn before you lip!
