You guys are taking what Drew is saying way too specifically. Stop being dumb.

[FirstBlood]

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that selling dumb shit at the front of your store is a good way to make money.

We're all just saying that his idea specifically is fucking retarded.

[Drewbacca]

Bit of a contradictory statement. Considering that was exactly what I was saying.

Which is exactly what I just told you to stop doing.

Hey Josh, you should sell Avon! GAAAA !!! EPIPHANY! (8O)

Well he keeps defending it specifically, what the fuck do you expect?

oh also:

[dave is ok]

Yeah, he wasn't defending the practice of selling candy and chapstick to make money when no one is buying TVs specifically. He was defending the practice of selling lighters and flasks to people in line at a rock concert at a small to medium sized venue. Pretty specific.

[Drewbacca]

I've never met a bigger bunch of faggoty crybabies.

P.s. I am right. We are in agreement selling smaller things to cover short term cost is the way to go.

I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that selling dumb shit at the front of your store is a good way to make money. So what Drew said was spot on, even if the items suggested are probably not correct.

Apology accepted.

[FirstBlood]

You're still dumb for thinking that selling lighters would ever cover the increased cost/limited accessibility that comes with opening near a venue.

[Fe 26]

Unrealistic crybaby babble.

If you want to sell rare things with a niche market you still have to find a way to keep business going. Lighters, flasks, stickers, etc. would sell great to people waiting in line for a show. You're in business to make money, and there is a strategy to both carrying costs long term vs. short term that have to be addressed. This is why people think it's hard to start businesses - they have some honeymoon picture of their dream job and not having to do shit they don't want to do. Then they don't do the dirty work (like selling cheaper items to carry overhead in the short term) and close down. Business isn't that hard. Like I said on the last page - just make money.

If selling a few flasks and lighters means he can produce nice amps, and sell instruments at a good profit (that probably move slower) then so be it. Swallow your pride. Once he is established around town to musicians as the place to go he can drop that shit. But you know what? If he's making revenue off of flasks and lighters I doubt he'd want to at that point, anyway. And at that point he can probably have his pick of guitars / instruments at cost. You can work in a boring field or be poor (mostly both) or do something about it.

You're just going to keep making yourself sound like a completely out of touch ass, aren't you?

I didn't say you were wrong for saying that you have to sale other things to own a guitar/amp shop. Its common knowledge that you do. Why do you think guitar strings, straps, picks, and any other gear accessories have such a crazy mark up?

I'd bet money that just about everyone on TNL that plays knows that.

But you sound like a stupid tool. You're telling people shit they already know and you're using a pretty retarded way of communicating it.

trickets?

Whats next, Magical stringed plucking instruments? Learn the correct terminology for shit before you give people advice if you want to be taken seriously.
