Answer 2

I'm sorry but that is not such a great idea.

Firstly you are sharing your idea with everyone on here. That is definately not a good start. What's going to stop someone else using your idea and starting up their own business (assuming the idea was good in the first place).

Secondly, what makes you think that you will have the edge over the likes of the Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U, etc.

You say that you will promise and guarantee to always have the phone in stock that people want. What happens when there is a problem with your suppliers and you can't get the phone in stock? It happens in business. You'll have to let down all of your customers and you've promised them you can get them the mobile phone that they want.

The only way that you could have a limitless supply of phones and offer such guarantees would be if you were dealing with the manufacturers directly.

Places like the Carphone Warehouse are always going out of stuck, plus, what happens when a phone comes to the end of its range. Surely you can't offer people that phone if it isn't made anymore.

I'd like a brand new Nokia 6310i. Not a 2nd hand or refurbished. I want it from the factory. Can you get me one? They don't make them anymore.



I'm sorry but I don't think the idea will work out. You should put your efforts into something else. If you are going to try then good luck.

Geothermal heating and cooling. The earth can be used to heat and cool any home to a preset temp no matter how hot or cold it is outside. From there the air can be heated or cooled to the desired temp with a lot less fuel used. Solar is not practical for most people or in most areas. Truly useful house hold size solar is decades away.

Answer 6

Good Luck - personally I don't think it is such a great idea - you will have a lot of competition and by the time you have paid for overheads you won't be making much profit if any.

My advice is forget that one and think of something that may be more profitable.

Thanks for the idea you berk!
