I am going to open a store soon, an online store.
The type of items I want to sell are:
Video Games, includes imports.
Music from around the world.
Anime and manga, stuff related to that
like wall scrolls, etc.
And movies.
Do you think I will to get a good base of
costumers with the things I will be selling? Also im going to trying to sell things cheaper compared to other stores.
Thanks for listening.
If you're planing to open a store like that, you can't just have mainstream stuff. In other words, you have to have more than Street Fighter and Rurouni Kenshin items. You also need rare items. By rare, I mean items like stuff of Psychic Force (I don't know if anyone has heard of this series) and since you're trying to target for October, that new Akamatsu anime, Rikujo-bouei-tai Mao-chan. This way, you'll attract more customers.
Other than that and a few issues like profits and such, there's not much else for me to say. Gambatte! ^_^

Thanks everyone for your help, when I get this going more I will gladly take the help.
My friend opened a store (not on-line) about a year ago. He first delt in comic books and trading cards, with little anime and games (although he was into both big-time), but the store grew in size, as demand grew.
Now the store moved to a larger location, with 9 rooms, consisting of game room, trading card room, RPG room, anime rental room, comic book rooms, etc.
From what I saw, demands on comics and cards stayed steady, while the anime demand boomed.
I think you after you open the store, you will find healty input of demands on what people would like to see, and grow from there. (given the finance is steady enough to allow time for growth)
Personally, I'd like to see some good j-pop CDs, and import games. Especially if you can do special orders on import games.
Good luck on your store! And I'll be sure to check it out when it opens.
