    Money Plan on losing money for at least a year.  If you break even in
    a year, you are doing better than most. The most candid appraisal of
    your chances can be obtained by submitting a business plan to an
    expert - try the local SCORE office at the Small Business
    Administration. I would keep merchandise to a bare minimum and focus
    on repairs and custom. The less you have tied up in inventory, the
    better (to an extent) Create merchandise that shows off the best of
    your skills and use it to sell off of. Carl
