How would one go about starting their own videogame retail business, like GameStop?
Hey Thranax (Thran),
Thanks for following and being my first follower! Now to answer your question. This is actually tough for me because no one has asked me this so I'll try to answer as best as I can. First, you have to know how retailing works. It's best to work at a Gamestop or another game store to observe the procedures. It is an oversaturated market so you'll need a specific edge over Gamestop, EB Games, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. Starting off online like on Amazon eStore is a good start so you will be able to build off that eventually leading to you getting inventory. Start off with a 100 games in your inventory and see quickly you sell them. Then if you think if your sales were efficient enough, do it again to keep consistency. If the sales are efficient and consistent and you think you can make enough in time to hold a retail space, then there you go! The most important key to remember is that your actually profiting from your sales. Hopefully that answers your question! Thanks again for being my first follower.
