Making your first sell through your own business! It actually came last week but I've been working so hard that I havent had a great deal of time for IA. After about a year of putting things together my business finally opened last week and I actually sold two items but when that first one came in.. pure excitement. I think it assured me that I made the right decision to sell my G35 and start this business. Anyway, didnt have many people to tell so I figured I'd post it up. :goodjob:

So tony how does the logistics side work for you? Did you get a warehouse too? Cause I read in the about us section how you buy in large quantities, and im sure you don't put those in a fridge in your garage lol.

lol Large is relative, if I had a warehouse full of product it would end up going bad because I do not sell that kind of volume just yet. I had to find a happy medium because if I do not buy in large quantities then obviously I couldn't get the price I pay and could not turn a profit.

I did change my house around to accomodate everything and for now its sufficient. Once it gets to the point where I need to move to a larger office I'll be ready to quit my day job by then and move to a real warehouse.

I appreciate all of the kind words though, it means a lot.

It is my site, once things get going I'm going to incorporate discounts but I'm still trying to get the word out so if you're interested in something on the site shoot me a pm and I can possibly work something out.

wow I appreciate all of the kind words, since I'm just starting out there isn't a great deal I can offer but if anyone wants any help and/or advice on starting their own business (especially web based) always feel free to contact me on aim @ tio tonio.. at the least I will try and shoot you in the right direction.

i don't know you, but congrats on the new business. it's always scary to open your first one, but i am sure you'll do fine. I am in the same boat, trying to get my business open, a lot of stress and a lot of work but it'll be all worth it. Congrats again.
