Are you looking for a lucrative, fast-growing start-up? Resale or consignment shops are one of your best options when it comes to making a lot of profit with minimal investment. Because you sell consignment at no cost to yourself, after your initial overhead expenses, everything becomes profit. Customers bring you their unwanted merchandise, which you agree to sell in your shop for a percentage of the sale price. You pay nothing up front for your stock, and don't even need to go out and secure it yourself. You customers literally carry it through your front door. If you do choose to supply some of your own items, you'll find that you can buy antiques, quality furniture, and other name brand designer items for mere pennies on the dollar, then resell them at a substantial profit. Best of all, you can depend on a resale shop in a difficult economy. When consumers are strapped for cash, major retailers will suffer, but the thrift store won't. Customers still want and need certain items, and when money is tight, they'll spend it on quality used products from your business. What's more, when they see your selection (a resale shop almost always has a superior variety of items than a department store), they'll continue to come back, even when after the economy improves. People looking for antiques and hard-to-find items will make a resale shop their first stop. You'll find your repeat customers range from avid collectors, to interior designers; from compulsive upgraders, to the average family simply looking to save a few dollars every time they shop. Your business will appeal to people from all demographics and walks of life. It's as close to fail-safe as any business can get.
