"I'm starting a store" is the worst.
1. Most people know nothing about running a business - the fact they post they are "planning" to open a store to their market without any plan is proof of that.
2. There are not a lot of airsoft stores because a market of 100 people won't support a store. If the money was there - we would see airsoft stores on every corner (Starbucks? How many cups of coffee can you sell? Apparently a lot)
3. If you are starting a business and you don't know what people want, you're in trouble already.
I just can't stand the "I'm opening a store, somewhere, someday, carrying something but I am not sure where, when or what. . ." It the most useless post in the world. At least with "what's the best gun" posts - there are funny little graphics and its just a "i'm a newbie" thread.
We were all noob once! Try not to forget that. I'd rather see more people post the "what gun to get" since that would mean that the market is growing and maybe someone, some where, at some time will open an airsoft store.
