447, Your opinion please
Posted by Karren, Wed Nov-29-06 09:22 AM
I have been sent information about opening a dollar store
called MyDollarShop.com.  Does anyone have any information
that might sway me one way or another in making my decision. 
I would greatly appreciate your comments.

Thank you,

Karren

Hi Karren,
I think that if you wanted to start your own dollar store you can do it on your own without going through any type of opportunity.
You can go to www.wholesalecentral.com and there are some dollar store suppliers there that can offer items to sell.
The opportunity from my dollar shop seemed a little fishy to me. There prices for retail were high. It showed a 4 piece utlity knife set for a retail of 5.99 I think. Look at the packaging you can tell that they are dollar store type items. They inflate the retail to make your profit seem better. SMC does the same thing. Over inflate retail so your profit seems better.
Open a dollar store on your own. Look around your local stores and see what they carry and notice where it's at in the store.


Doesn't really help but may spark some idea.

hi!

In my opinion why not ask around and check if the site is popular and has lots of visitors or customers. ;) if it's not that active site, then i believe your investment gonna be gone.. if its active go for it..:-)
