What would be the average cost of opening a retail trading card shop?

Answer 1

If you have your own stock of vintage type cards ,you must count on needing another 7500.00 for start up inventory. Fixtures ,Rent ,utility's and insurance. Also licenses ,and salary's for your employees (if you can afford any) YOU BEST HAVE A GOOD 45K ,if you would be CRAZY enough to start one up in this financial environment. Good Luck to You ,I have been in the Buis. for more than 38 years /20+ in retail. It is a great living ,but you can also compair it to a Marrage ,in terms of time and effort. Not to mention (once your In ... Its hard to get OUT). Just like being Catholic (Damed if you do ,Damed if you don't ,but it only takes one shoe box per month to keep you from going under). Good Luck.....
