Yes, if you have the capital to invest in making things yourself and selling your inventory at a standard markup, the opportunity is there.
why is this post in key caps? Didn't you start another thread on this?That was on fleecing GHers, this is more legitimate :))

Well that wasn't serious, it was more of a joke. This thread is serious, I put it in keycaps because I'm considering having some GMK sets made and paying for them and selling them just didn't know if it is really feasible to attempt.

Should maybe pm those who have invested time and money into GMK GB's and do some research into cost/demand for GMK caps etc??
I'd love to share my experience if you don't mind
For me cooking is my passion, food is my life and I'd love to cook just to see the happy face of the people who eat my food
I've been offered a job and scholarship to be a chef when I studied abroad to get my accounting degree (believe me my love in food really shows on the food I cook)
I rejected it
Because I know for a fact that cooking is my getaway and stress reliever, but when I put my passion at risk of being pressured due to the commitment I put for the profession
I would have to find a new way to relax or enjoy out from cooking
And I don't think Ive the gut to risk it
So as long as you are ready to commit and anticipate the worst, you might as well succeed
If you have a spare $35-40K or so to get started with 1 GMK set MOQ you can certainly go for it. Might be better to start off with something cheaper though... maybe you could import some of those nice Leopold PBT sets or something. I don't think there are any US sellers for those currently.

I also included some overhead costs like mailing supplies, printer toner, bank transfer fees, buffer for potential loss on paypal fees, other payment processing fees, exchange rate to EUR, import customs fees... etc... lots of these 'little things' really add up increasing the real costs. You really can't forget all that kind of **** or you can end up in the negative pretty fast.
Ask GON. I'll bet he's doing pretty well.
Build switch openers and sell them.
Make a shop with all DIY parts : Stabs, spring, lubes, switches .... (currently you have to source those from multiples sources and it's very expensive when not con-US).
Yeah that too.Build switch openers and sell them.

I would actually really like this; having to get things from multiple sources is very annoying.
(Don't forget about switch stickers as well :thumb:)
I think there is a good place for a store, or person, to run GMK a sets, like originate, only accountable... Personally I wish I had the money to pay for X number of GMK Miami sets and then sell them through GH like a vendor would and use that to maybe do something more. But I can't front that kind of cash and don't have the time either.
Despite my skepticism this thread has turned out to be very interesting, sorry for being a bit of a **** before :P

I kept thinking while I was on my lunch break, and there are two sets that are pretty coverted, the dolch set and the grey/beige cherry set, having a reliable place to buy those sets would be pretty awesome. Not personally for me, but I've had a lot of people who arnt into the hobby so much be interested in getting a set and having no where to really go (as it's difficult to sell people on the idea of GB's when they don't know much about site/community).

You just gotta get there before GMK a set up a store front of there own ;)

One thing to note, though. It is wonderful to be able to support yourself off a labor of love, however skill is still important. Liking what you do makes the work enjoyable, but you need skill, good taste, and hard work (and maybe some luck) to make it lucrative. Therefore it is not always best to just choose the thing you enjoy the most.
