SC Airsoft Supply

An entire choir of angels could not make music sweet enough to do this day justice!

I wish you the best of luck, Dom!  It's been really good to always have a trunk full of ammo (feeding my own use of +8,000 rounds per full game day), but I have reached my limit doing this part time. 

I have found that so many people want so many different things.  It might not seem like carrying 5 bag varieties of ammo and 3 types in boxes/bottles is a very large selection, but you have to multiply each type of ammo by 12 bags or 5 bottles.  Then add my considerable amount of crap I carry at every game, and you have a VERY full Ford Taurus.

I hope that you can keep up with the varying demand of player base in South Carolina.  It won't be easy, and I know that I did not do by them as well as I wanted to (I could never find a good source for King Arms, G&G or Madbull ammo in the quantities I wanted to buy).  Hopefully, since you actually have a real investment (and not the $500 I started with), you will be able to have what everybody needs. 

Dom was not lying when he said that we have reached a very amicable agreement.  I will continue to rent guns and batteries, but I am glad to pass the torch on to somebody with real ambition.

You do realize you'll have to have a big GRAVE banner in the store whenever you open it, don't you? And you have to give 99% discounts to all GRAVE members, too.

YYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! Thank you ssoooo much! I've wanted a close airsoft store ever since I started playing!

[Dominum]

That's what I am working on

Above post meant for the list question, sorry I am on a cell...

[VoidSuicide]

I cant wait to see what you're gonna have. I'm finally about to get the m16 i wanted after the new year, but I'm gonna need to find a battery for it.

Also, judging by an earlier post, I take it I wont be able to get my brother some eyepro and ammo from smithy this weekend. are you gonna have any of the steel mesh eyepro? and ammo-wise, 20s?

So this is going to be a home-run operation right now?

[SteevoLS]

Kind of; the first batch of stock is here at the house, but at a certain point it will have to be moved to larger facilities. The website will be up before too long, and will look/function just like any other retailer.

So this is going to be a home-run operation right now?

For the time being, yes. As soon as the rest of the inventory comes in, I will be keeping most of it in a storage unit and will go there to pick up orders to fill, so I can ship them out the same day if they are ordered before a certain time.

After the thousands of dollars I have invested to start up this business, I sadly do not have enough money so that I can quit my current full time job and still pay my bills while I work for free until the store becomes profitable enough to pay me a penny. This normally takes two years for the average business, but with the low overhead I am running at I hope to be able to move to part time at my current job within a few months, and be able to pay myself enough to run SC Airsoft Supply full time within the next 12-18 months. Had I not recently spent 7K on my wife's car, I would be in a much better position to work for free .

This does not mean I can afford to stock everything that Spartan Imports and JAG Precision have right off the bat, but it does mean that I can and will gladly stock anything that they do have if you want it.

Idea: You could build custom drop-ins for people. You could have a spec and request page on your website for people to submit down payments and requests for certain builds for certain guns.

I know I'm gonna catch a bit of flak for this, but if you could manage to get a Systema Challenge Kit MAX M4 by mid May to early June,  I would prefer to buy it from you man.  Hopefully that should kick up some revenue.

[Esteban]

That's not a bad idea to buy up some Systema Challenge kits and assemble them himself and sell them back. You'd pretty much just be buying the labor of him assembling the PTW.

[Jon The Student]

I'd rather pump my hard earned money into a local retailer I believe in, in converse to send it back to Hong Kong.
