Nice point, I am in the buisness to make money so that would make sense thank you

Kingston JAPAN micro cards

I work in a video game store and I see clearnce deals sell better then just the console so put some packedge like : wii+extra wii mote ,DS+ X flash cart etc.

Also it wouldn't hurt to have something to motivate bueyrs to buy from you ( a small prize given once a month is a good idea { its great because you can give away some cheap product that some people want but don't want to waste money on .we give away 2 in 1 PSP cable with a Premod PSP pack.})

Promotions are a good idea I can do that, And yes Kingston cards seem to be the rave.

Good more good ideas.

Slot1 and slot2 combo deals would be great. For me, it's all about how many games I can squeeze into the 2 cards on my DS. I look to have the ultimate in gaming selection in one system. That's what I was shooting for.

Currently my SCminiSD is the weak link in the chain. Good suggestions for a replacement in the combo would be great.

I would like to see a person dedicated to responding to emails and claims.

Instead of a 24 hour response time, shoot for an 8 hour response time.

Also, be sure to ship out products 1 - 2 times a day. Maybe once in the morning and once in the evening.

Offer different kinds of shipping. ie: USPS (not sure what they have in Canada), FedEx or UPS (whichever is cheaper). Maybe make snail mail free shipping (this to compete with dealextreme.com).

Other than that, everyone has submitted great ideas. Good luck with the store.

 

[Friction Baby]

Point taken nothing wrong with competing and I like the ideas

An option to pay by Paypal may help. Also overseas postage and packaging charges to actually cover postage and packaging.

Would love some retro stuff as well.

 

[Friction Baby]

I will be doing paypal that is a must, what kind of retro items are we talking about? What do you think about custom painted DS Shells?

 

[Raisingod]

Costum painted DS is nice.

Also look into westren union as a payment option ( Its great for sellers since you get cash and theres no paypal fee )

 

[Friction Baby]

Interesting I have never heard of them I will look into it thanx

 

[TLSpartan]

Post the packaging. You dont need to have it assembled but just have it in the parcel.(Bamboogaming doesnt do this and it is a little annoying)

666th post

 

[Friction Baby]

I was planning on doing that I could see how it would be annoying

regular NDS support should be a must, don't stock too heavily however.
try small batches and see how they sell.
I have a dsphat and i really hate the fact that the only reliable place that i can buy new cases from are gameyeeeah(hinge broke lol). its always give and take with all these sites, since they only have SOME NDS products.
styluses, slot 2 "phat cards", case replacements etc. Theres never a single site which has everything i need.

I don't know, it could be cause the dsphat accessories dont sell but just try it 'mkay?

have a large selection of slot 2 cards since slot 1 are usually the same(rly, just a few differences, not like EZ4--M3minisd--SCminisd)

and just like mentioned before, use a clear table. dont use lists, people get tired from them quickly. the table could give you a chance to actually explain what everything is for.

for the site, use a simple black font thats not too small but instead of using a white background, use a background color thats easy on the eyes, like creamish yellow etc. but make sure to have a good contrast between the text and background.

Also, if you're gonna sell parts, have a few tutorials on your sites and link from the parts. this would be ABSOLUTELY GREAT!
no more worries or headaches from looking stuff up on the internet.

last but not least, make sure that you have a very clear FAQ and information about policies and shipping, offers etc.
its frustrating to have only a few lines of text and then have to go on the forum or send an email because you dont get it.

 

[Friction Baby]

Awesome points you are very informative I am thinking of doing comparison tables between cards to help people decide which is best for them. And you are right I will have as much detailed information as possible to take the guess work out for my customers

 

[Friction Baby]

I guess my next question will be how I can become affiliated with GBATemp when it is go time for my store?

 

[Friction Baby]

Anyone?

 

[KINGOFNOOBS]
