    Ok, well my wireless signal is a bit stronger where I'm at right now.

    So I have an idea for a business that I want to start.

    The idea is to basically find things for people who want to buy something either 1 thing or in bulk.

    Revenue would come from a commission that I add to the sale.

    Let's say someone wants 10 widgets. I then go out to the internet or local businesses and find the cheapest widgets I can find. Let's say it turns out they are $20 a piece. That comes to a total of $200. I then add a commission of let's say 50%. So that's another $100 on top of that. Total to the customer is $300.

    I would make sure when I talk to the original business that they will hold those widgets in that quantity for a certain period of time. I then give a quote to the customer. If they say they will take them, then I will get the payment and pay the business $200 while I keep $100.

    Anyone have anything to add, or more advice?

    And anyone want to be my first customer/client to help me get started?

    I prefer something that is online and low overhead as I don't want to sink alot of money in it right away. It doesn't have to be the next million dollar idea, just for something to get the ball rolling, get me some experience and a little bit of income.
