Bearotti, maybe take that $50k and multiply by 4 then find dealers you wish to carry that dont already have a market presence in your area then figure out what sort of inventory or product minimum representation they demand you carry, multiply that by several makers of gear your likely going to need then factor in not making money for atleast 1 yr........add marketing expense, subtract what it will do to your relationship if you have one then divide that by the rooms in your home you will give up to the business and finally subtract thr enjoyment you will loose by turning a hobby into a business. The answer is always 42 correct?

Certainly not fair to the dealer network, but it seems to move additional product, especially at these soft purchasing times. Your opinion?
