I have always wanted to start my own hobby shop. Like the one from the Music Man You Have To Know the Territory. First its hard to make it on just trains. 2. you have to backup what you sell. 3. you have to work on your own. 4. adjust your hours according to the times your major employers in your area. You have to offer good weekend scheduling, this means Sat and Sun. you have to be open hours that make your customers happy not what makes you happy. 5. You have to have the basics in stock paint, glues,etc. they add up at the end of the day. 6. Have a used section where your customers can sell there goods most will have no problem if you charge them 10% but then inturn if they take all the money they make on a sale and buy something you have in stock waive that 10% fee, you will be a hero in their eyes. Well thats my two cents worth. Sw Dave
