Start a Laser Store

Honestly I think the laser market is just kinda saturated right now. It's not really a growth field, and seems to be in decline lately. What is there left to offer which is original and attractive to customers? Seems like most of the laser niches have already been filled, and you'll have trouble competing with the already established sellers. People on this forum already have loads of the cheap/moderate quality lasers, and higher end products are supplied by well-established sellers like Sanwu/Jetlasers. As far as low/moderate quality products are concerned, those can already be had from literally hundreds of ebay sellers and websites. What would your niche be in the laser market?

In a sense, the trolls have been successful. Idk if the op here is a troll, but the trolls have succeeded at getting this forum highly skeptical and suspicious of new posters/ideas.

Not new ideas or posters of the ideas, but silly incompetent ideas or posters. Since when has a person or idea seemed legitimate when there is no understanding of the products, funding for the project, a customer base, or the actual products themselves?

Exactly --well said---it is all 100% outlaw scammer pathetic daydreamer hogwash/BS---if he wants or needs some money he should get a job not pretend someone else's business is his business and just take orders for drop shipment---that is one level below selling out of the trunk of your car. LOL

Am reasonably certain no real business would want the potential troubles and problems he could easily become for them--at least no company that imagines it has a future

+ rep when I can

One thing i would like to point out though: Make sure you cover liabilty issues. Make sure the product conforms to spec (i.e. never output more than the advertised level, and stick to <5 mW). Look into insurance for this was well, you could become liable for enormous amounts of money when there is a problem with your product, certainly if it causes physical injury... that would also include any batteries you sell and somehow explode or catch fire without the user being grossly negilent.

I'd like to add to that. Don't sell more items than you can actually provide, thus having a backlog and massive delivery delays. If you do have a backlog then make sure you have the assets required to compensate any customers that want compensation. Actually, just make sure you can compensate people for any issues period.

Drop Shipping a few products seems lazy to me.
All you are saving is the actual labor to ship the
product you sold and collected money for to your
customer. Where would the customer service be :thinking:

Seems he wants quick profits with low efforts
and wash his hands of the rest of the responsibilities
of running a legit business...IMO

I wouldn't buy from a No-Name drop shipper...
