Looking for help for my business, or maybe a partner
Hey, i have been setting up a website in Australia, and i would like the opinions of a few members on it, or somebody to partner with me.

We are currently entering a Niche market of selling furniture online, operating via drop shipping.

I currently am doing this alone, i have set the site up and have been negotiating with manufacturers but atm am at a stand still with them saying they will not support us. Tried about 5-10 Australian manufactures but they all say no. The reasons are all unclear, which i dont understand! a few have issues with logistics and others because they dont believe in the internet!!

The reason i choose furniture is because it HASN'T been done in Australia.

I see two options, do something better, or do something new. This is something new. I have looking for many website opportunities but this is the only i have come up with which hasn't been done well.

I wish to see if any members would like to contact me via MSN, or visit my site at www.sevenrooms.com.au

Being 18, and doing uni i find it hard to do all this, but I wish to find a person who will bring ideas to my team, (of me) and to make this idea a success. Please contact me for any other info!

Thanks.

PS i did enter this idea waaaaay to quick! i was feeling low at the time and i was like YEAH lets do it! go the domain and then made the website. I dont usually jump right into it, but this is how its worked out. Any opinions or help would be really good!

Yeah, it has been done in America and GB.

Also, yeah they dont believe that the internet is good because its against their morals or some shit,

various excuses because they are old grumpy men who don't want my business :-(

The problem that arises is the majority of people like looking and getting the feel of their furniture before purchasing. Thus locating a furniture store locally.

yeah, Thats what i have done!

Problem is, do people think this can work? Why should it work or why shouldn't it work in Australia!

the main biggest issue atm is the logistics of getting the stuff delivered.
