I don't like paying shipping and handling any more than the next guy, BUT, having tried my hand in several small business ventures, I can tell you, it is EXTREMELY tuff to make a decent living running any small business. Until you try it you have no Idea of the overhead involved, including wages for employees, insurance, fees, satisfying govt regulations, rent, leases, equipment, liscensing, fuel, the list is endless, and lastly, hopefully, a small wage for yourself. Why do you think most small businesses fail? Just being real. My first venture failed, with a huge sum of money lost. The second is struggling, but after a year looks like it may work, but not even close to paying the bills yet. And it is not an 8 hour day like it is when you work for someone else, more like 16 hours, 8 days a week!!!
