Bought a whole load of music stuff from a supplier in Toronto – to re-sell at the store. People always asked for picks and we only have guitar strings for starters, so this time, I ordered a few more things to see if it would sell. Hopefully, it does – so that we have another [...]
The store is overloaded with games that I’ve bought of late, loads of sellers these days – trying to paying their income tax or recovering from Christmas shopping. To keep them off the floor, I had to make some room for them at the store, so the kid’s play area had to be used as [...]
We have several used guitar pedals for sale but a customer who came in for pedals asked to test the ones we’ve got but didn’t like it so much. He wanted the fulltone gt 500 – and we didn’t have it. So I checked around for him and found a fulltone gt 500 at music123 [...]
So everyone had been talking about the PS4 and the new Xbox 720 that will be released this Christmas 2013 and how both Sony and Microsoft are thinking of phasing out the disc. Therefore used game stores like ours would be impacted – but how impacted will we be? Firstly, I don’t think both Sony [...]
I’ve never really been into watches but of late, people had been bringing in watches to sell at the store, some are even branded watches from raymond weil and we all know about this swiss watch right? So I had to read up a bit more about it. To find out what they are worth [...]
When you are a small business owner, you try to save in any way you can but there are just some things you cannot save money on – because the partner insisted on professional envelopes for the store. Lucky for him, I’m so internet savvy and found a cheap envelope printing place where we [...]
We owned a video game store and some people who comes into our store and see the rock band set thinks that it’s a real music set and we had to explain quite a number of times that this Rock Band is for a console game. Luckily, we do sell some cheap guitar at our [...]
Unique but very expensive for my liking and they don’t sell the cases alone – you will have to buy the entire system with the case – it seems. Starting at $1500 – I think one can get a better computer somewhere else but if you must have the case – you will have to [...]
There are many smart people that I’ve come across in this town of ours and many are very creative and some had branch out to open their own store selling wholesale beads and teaching children how to do creative things as well. Today, my kid attended such a class and she wants to buy some [...]
You will be surprised at how many computers I come across at our small store for repair because of viruses and spyware. These days people download stuff so much, they don’t even know that some sites are not reliable and without a good anti spyware or a anti-virus protection, one can easily infect your computer [...]
We’ve done custom t-shirts for the Magic The Gathering players who went up to Halifax for their card games – it’s like an investment – and a walking advertising and even though it wasn’t cheap, I thought that it was alright. Since winter is coming and the games are still on all year round, maybe [...]
We have a very small store and not enough space but our location is so good we don’t want to move anytime soon and since I do repair computers regularly, I think I might just take a page from the doctor’s office and buy some cpu cart so that I can repair more than one [...]
The local bank is offering some financial training on how to run our business more efficiently for free. They invited some speakers to talk about financial issues and of course payment options to use for running your business. I wonder if they have the AAP Training as I’m quite interested in it and have been [...]
So anyone buying facebook shares yet? can Canadian get a piece of the action I was asked the other day? I guess if you have the money – I figured anyone can buy some shares but I was told not to buy them now – because they will be going at $35 – $38 USD [...]
