Local business
Hello I have a question for you all. I live in a part of Texas that is very close to a huge military base, with that said I am thinking of opening a computer store primarily catering to people that want high performance pc and gaming rigs. The rent on a retail store from is very cheap with a 1500 sq space on main road renting for about 1200 a month. I also understand that as technology progresses very quickly and building computers on your own is a very rewarding experience. I have always built my oun machines and when you put it all together and you turn it on for the first time I get a feeling of accomplishment. I was also thinking of starting a online store but soon came to the conclusion that i don't have the money for the tech support side of the business model, and knowing that un-happy customers don't make for long term business have since decided against it. My main question is would you guys who put your onw rigs together pay a little more to buy from the local guy. If NewEgg sell the EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB for 219.99 would you pay 250.00 for the card at my retail location. Thanks for any and all input.
