Small Business - October 2006

I am wanting to basically open a store on ebay selling computers. I would be building the computers myself using brand name parts. Everything would be there, Operating System and the whole nine yards, ready for the buyer to use when they got it. Just like buying one in Best Buy or something. I've never done anything like this though and ran into several complications. One is if you are successful, how would you keep up? Say, if you move 25 or more of them a day. How can you measure the postage costs or know how much each one will cost without taking it all the way to the post office? How does one buy anything like this in bulk or whatever? You certainly wouldn't want to buy each part retail would you? Then again, starting out I don't see how you could buy bulk. Too much money. I don't want to take out more than a couple thousand for a loan, even that's way too much. Anybody who actively sells on ebay would help

Thanks.
