Business Ideas Needed - 04-04-2005, 12:55 PM

I know this may be a little strange as if people had good business ideas they would prefer to do it themselves and not share their ideas, but im gonna try anyway!

Ive been thinking of building pc systems at home, but the competition is so big and difficult to compete with it may not be the best idea. might be good for local sales only.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

It's a highly competitive market with very slim margins. The big box shifters buy the components in bulk and make a very small percentage return on sales as they sell at such low prices and this is the sort of market that you may have to compete with.

There are a couple of specialist shops in the town in which I live who assemble and sell PC's. Their prices aren't as cheap as the big box shifters but are cheaper than PC World and they score with local people and businesses who appreciate the service aspect that they offer.
