I want to start my own small web business... would you buy?

[RadioactiveCPU]

I wanted to start something small, that i could run out of my house. I'm thinking small items like cpu fans and all, but seriously what would you like to see and maybe even buy from me in the future? Let me knoe. Thanks. Please post serious answers. it will be most respected.

Do you really think you can make any money by selling little things like CPU fans? I'm being serious here. Would this be something on the side or would it be your actual job?

I'd imagine the profit on such small items would be very low. If you can't price competitively, people will buy elsewhere. Plus you have to think of the compeition already out there. What would you offer to convince me to buy a CPU fan at your place rather than a store like 2cooltek that has a good reputation?

yeah, theres lots of competition, and thinkin that buying cheap fans and selling high, isnt realistic, since people are looking for name brands, and those namebrands are selling at a similar price at all the cooler stores online.

WEll i didn't mean necessarily fans, but something else, like not whole cPU systems is what i mean. And no, this would be a side job.

I've thought of that myself but to be competitive and make money at the same time means you have to move an incredible amount of volume...

You would be more profitable providing services rather than goods.

I heard that most online computer stores don't make much profit at all.
