Business Idea: Sell Brand New Videogames (Xbox 360/PS3) For $49.99!!

[darkxshade]

Don't discourage the OP... I got some used games in great condition that I'll let you have for $15 a pop

 

[Krazy4Real]

Let me know when you start this company. I will buy all my games from you.

What a bunch of pessimistic muppets we have here!

You punks will be salivating once I open "Baasha's Videogames".

MWA HA HA..:awe:

Thanks for the informative post.

Well, the way I see it, we are at least bouncing ideas to make the business idea watertight so to speak.

First and foremost, what is your source for the $52/game (wholesale price)? I have done some research on this and it is actually just south of $50/game.

This would only work through word of mouth; aka customers going gaga for games and buying like crazy while telling everyone and their mother about it. I mean, if stores are selling games for $59.99 and I'm selling them for $10 off, the inner jew in all of us will be awakened and everyone will buy at "Baasha's Videogames". :awe:

"Baasha's Videgames love me long time!"

Of course, the retailers must have some sort of distribution contracts with certain game companies (EA etc.) but if one were to start small, say Bay Area , and then grow, it could be plausible. I am not planning on shipping games to Antartica until I get a minimum number of orders from there.

Shipping & handling costs will be pushed to the customer and making the buyback policy really good, people will keep coming back for more.

The concern is the fulfillment of orders from customer -> Baasha's Videogames -> Game company (as I'm not planning to store the games in a warehouse at this point) -> shipped to customer.

Maybe I should start the business as "Videogames cum Burritos" (don't get any funny ideas! ) and deliver the games with a mega burrito for $8 each; of course, with special sauce. LOL... j/k about the burritos.

Seriously, if the wholesale price is what I believe it is (and my research supports this), there is a really good chance of making this a success.

And, to those who think retailers are "hurting" by selling the games for $59.99 are on crack. Pharmas make pills for <$1 with child slavery from China/Pakistan and sell them here for $80 each. I guess it's a hard knock life for the big-pharma execs.

Profit is the motive, yet I'm not avaricious. If I can make money by helping others (save $$ in this case), that makes me satisfied. My site will have videogame reviews, picture galleries, videos, and discussion of the latest and greatest games. It'll be a "store" like you've never seen before.

Get your wallets ready gentlemen.

Wow, your business acumen is spot fucking on. You really should open this store since you've obviously considered all fixed and variable costs associated with your genius idea.

This thread shows much promise.

Good luck Baasha!

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm pretty sure I like this Baasha character.

lol. posted this just before that ^ post appeared.

Now I know I like him.

Well, let's see. your sarcasm has no subtlety nor do you have an iota of sense. I have NOT considered all the pros and cons of this venture so I thought I'd make a satire of it on the forum.

Of course, for most you worthless losers who can't even afford a proper computer, starting a business is merely a fantasy.

So, pull up your skirts as your micron-sized dicks are an aberration of male anatomy.

Soooo, Baasha. What is your opinion of diesel jeans?

:hmm:

 

[waggy]

meh it won't fail. why? not because its a damn good idea (its not) but because NOBODY will invest or loan him money.

 

[Inferno0032]

I can get games from one of my distributors for ~$52, it will not work unless less money means more money somehow. Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo and the Software companies themselves are the ones making the money, not the retailers.

 

[D1gger]

OK, so you buy them for $47, then sell them for $50 + Shipping (~$15) so by the time the poor sucker gets the game it has cost them $65 and they had to wait a few days.

Not going to fly.

 

[geno]

This idea cannot fail.

 

[WraithETC]

The margin on new games is like a dollar for the retailer.

Whaaa? $15?

I sell games regularly and they cost under $3 to ship. If in state, its delivered next day. Out of state, 2-3 days.

Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.
Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.
Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]
Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Ted: That - good point.
Hitchhiker: 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
Ted: Why?
Hitchhiker: 'Cause you're fuckin' fired!

 

[RedRooster]

Seven. Minute. Abs.

Hahahaha, big laughs over here man, big laughs! Awesome. :thumbsup:
