I'm trying to start a small business. I hoping to find out what airgunners think about having to go to the swap and a home location to get hard to find pellets, as in .25, .20 and some .22 and ,177s that are hand to get. I'm from Bakersfield, California, and no one that I know of, carries .25 pellets in town. So, I'm thinking of starting business at home mostly and at the local swap where I can my name out there. What do you airgunner think _________________ totalairpower   Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 8:58 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Depends on your local airgunners- there are plenty of pellets available online- but if you're talking local swapmeets then it's really only your local crowd that matters. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

You can't possibly compete with Walmart on price and you don't have the money to stock all the brands of pels you'd need to keep on hand. I'm not being disrespectful, just honest. _________________ Rws 350 Rws 48 Walther Talon all .22 Gamo Whisper .177 Several Co2 replicas About 35 powder handguns 25 powder rifles. 5 muzzle loaders.   Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2015 7:46 pm Bob La Londe Veteran Member Joined: 05 Nov 2014 Posts: 146 Location: Yuma, Az rws48 wrote: Sounds like a great way to waste your time and not make a penny.

That was my first thought on the subject. On the other hand you might start a buyers group, so you can order as a group, and buy pellets without paying shipping from PA/AGD. First you need to find out if there are enough people who would be interested to start a local buyers group. _________________ Bob La Londe http://www.CNCMOLDS.com http://www.YumaBassMan.com   Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 5:19 pm totalairpower New Member Joined: 22 Jan 2015 Posts: 5 That's why I'll carry mostly just .25 Cal. Local Wal-Marts doesn't carry .25 Cal I plan on carrying other airgun items. Items that wouldn't compete with other large change stores. I shoot with others, so I know what they want, and I'm retired, so no plans on making it my only income. _________________ totalairpower   Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 9:15 pm rws48 Member Joined: 26 Jan 2015 Posts: 65 Location: Ohio Well now your talking. Finding a niche market might bring in some bucks.

I'm a disabled police officer with a fixed income and disability in Oh. means I can't earn a dime or loose benefits. Wish I could. My g-friend owns her own business, 30 years, built it into 100K a year now. It takes time and patience. Do not stock items you like. Stock items others like/need/want. If you are not making at least 15% clear profit you are failing. There's a lot more but this will do for now. _________________ Rws 350 Rws 48 Walther Talon all .22 Gamo Whisper .177 Several Co2 replicas About 35 powder handguns 25 powder rifles. 5 muzzle loaders.
