I've noticed that many laser forums have their own stores, so I thought it would be cool if LPF got one of its own as well.
There are many benefits of having our own store:
1. Group buys can be organized more easily.
2. LPF users could sell their things through the store and Avery could perhaps get a small commission. I think sellers of DIY lasers (such as IgorT and jayrob) may be interested in something like this.
3. LPF could get what they want without having to order from many different companies.
4. LPF users could secure their purchases with the store acting as a "middleman."
5. An online store could drive more traffic towards LPF.
Things that could be sold include:
1. Diodes, sleds and DIY kits.
2. Laser accessories (such as optics safety labels)
3. DIY lasers
4. Lasers and parts acquired through group buys
5. A "bargain" area where users could sell their lasers
6. LPF merchandise (such as T-shirts)
What do you all think?
