Sounds like a great idea, Jerry. It would be even nicer if you cut to 20%,
which would match any sale anywhere (excluding clearance of course). It would
give a strong incentive for retail buyers to simply come to you first without
having to wait to find a particular item on sale. Ten percent justs sounds a
little thin.
As for buying LEGO, that might get tricky. I could see if you had locals walk
in and sell you their stuff, but buying on the net and reselling might be a
headache. There are a lot of people selling their stuff on line now. Since you
are getting sets at 40% off (I assume), what might be even more lucerative would
be to start up some sort of bulk operation for parts. *That* would be
exciting! You could prolly hire one full time person to run the operation and
still make a nice little profit AND provide a valuable service to AFOLers:-)
IAE, Good Luck in your LEGO endeavor!

| A bit simplistic, in my case anyway. Let's suppose that discounts range more like 38% to 30% (the lesser is on the newest stuff and things like Star Wars where presumably they are paying Lucas some sort of fee). Add in about 5% shipping charge and (...) (27 years ago, 21-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
