Why couldn’t Larry Pieniazek, Lindsay Frederick Braun, Kevin Salm and I
form a buying conglomerate in conjuncture with Lugnet as our medium. We all
spend enough money monthly on Lego to justify the start-up costs, and the
dividends could be high. (discounts on Lego and sales profit = :p )
Sure, we’d probably not use my premises due to locational conflict.
(cross-boarder tax and stuff) But somebody near or around Endfield could
hold the merchandise while we distribute… it could work!
We have a viable market niche, and for some reason if start–up costs are too
high then others can be recruited to distribute to expenses. I'm sure if we
enter into this venture, others would inevitably want in. Also, We could
finally be the direct supplier to Australia. I always here that they don’t
receive Shop @ Home products and certain sets; well… we could fill that
market as well!
Why hasn’t this been done before?
Thinkin’ big,
