Hello guys,
Although this section is meant to introduce yourself, I would like to ask your help.
My wife and I are thinking about starting our own company. It came to our attention that a lot of collectors in foreign countries pay good money for military items (ordnance, uniforms, ribbons, ...). Anything related to the military (especially WWII) would apply.
The goal of our company is to visit fairs across Europe and buy or sell items on demand for foreign collectors.
As always, NO LIVE ordnance AND, no complete ordnance.. For instance, we wouldn't sell hand grenades or mortars, but we would ship stuff like tail fins, inerted fuzes, parts, ...
Now, being a legit and registered company, we would require basic buyer information (which we already need to ship the item) to be in rule with the tax office.
Now we need your opinions:
- What do you think about the idea in general?
- Would you be prepared to sign and send back papers (over the internet)?
- What kind of (electronic) payment would you suggest? We realise that PayPal is not an option.
Checks would be ok, but we know that a lot of buyers don't want to use them.
Any feedback/suggestions on this idea is welcome. Of course, we are in it for the money, yet we realise that unreal or overpriced prices will work against us and will eventually ruin our business.
Thank you for your time.
