Or business at all? I'm not sure you want to use me as a model.<br /><br />I told the manager how much I wanted the item to retail for, he told me how much the store pays for an item that retails at that amount (about 50-60%). Assuming I can get my printing costs down, this should still allow me to see the product. If not, I'll have to renegotiate. <br /><br />It helps I've developed a bit of a relationship with the guy. By "relationship" I don't mean we hang out and drink beer. We shoot the breeze in the store, talk about games, and I show him what I've been working on (having a product he could flip through that didn't look like crap probably helped). I understand he's running a business to make money, he understands I want to get my product out in as many venues as are feasible. I don't think either of us are trying to screw the other (hell, I may just take my money out in credit for the shop...that's practically a win-win for both of us) and I don't think either of us are getting "special favors." I might get a nice display spot (if I'm lucky), and he gets a guy who can deliver/distribute books from a couple blocks away...should they sell well, o course.<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-79790889502099599952010-07-30T13:20:08.494-07:002010-07-30T13:20:08.494-07:00Adding a Paypal "buy" button shouldn'...Adding a Paypal "buy" button shouldn't be to difficult. IIRC, it was a simple cut/paste when I did it years ago.<br /><br />What kind of deal did you make with the local stores? % over cost? I'm looking to do the same with my book and I'd appreciate some advice...Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158916950442942918noreply@blogger.com
