Starting an online company selling stuff.

[Cattlegod]

So I'm thinking about starting an online biz. Not sure what I'm going to sell yet, still a while down the lane but it has me thinking of a few things.

1 - Where do you put all the stuff you sell? Do you rent out one of those shed lockers for 80 bucks a month? or do you have some warehouse company do it for you? or do you have the stuff shipped directly from the manufacturer?

2 - Are there any good online resources for this type of thing?

Is this one of those turnkey things?

P.O.D.S. = Portable On Demand Storage.

It's the big garage like thing that they toss into your front yard. It really helps w/ the curb appeal.

Good luck... eBay is a good place to start but very competative. People who don't want to keep inventory will usually drop ship. If you don't know what that is, you have a long way to go before starting your business.
If you have a talent or hobby that you could potentiall sell, for example, case modding, that would give you a BIG head start.

Well I like stuff.

I regularly purchase stuff.

Let me know when you get the stuff.

I've got some stuff.

I'd like to have some more stuff.

But first I need a bigger place to put my stuff.

Went on a trip last weekend and took a little of my stuff with me.

Ended up leaving some stuff there.

So now I have stuff scattered about the country.

I like stuff.
