That's what happens when you listen someone's advise to commit a felony crime.

The funny thing (or sad?) to me is that I can imagine the OP coming here, seeing that this thread has 50+ replies, and getting his hopes up about a goldmine of information and help.

You will need a niche.

Perhaps left-handed dvds.

Well, he did find out that he had better get a license or he'll be financially ruined and will be spending the holidays in the stony lonesome.

Attempt to operate a business without a license, and see how far you'll go. Your business will be closed so fast, it'll make your head spin. You can't beat the system, no matter how hard you try, because eventually, your liable to get caught. Whenever you do, be prepared to pay extensive monetary damages, implemented serious consequences, and repercussions.

So if having a legal license to operate a business is referred by you as being a "loser" then i'll rather be a loser to honor, and follow procedures of the law. Everybody is NOT dishonest because crime doesn't pay.
Hahahaha. I've never seen somebody who so desperately needed to take their sarcasmeter in for a tune-up.

Wow. I didn't know so many people had Australian Business Law degrees. This should be the DVD Talk OZ Forum.

No no, the subsequent step should be:

Step 3: Post angry reply in response to other responses posted in jest, then delete original post and thread completely, never to return

I've seen this happen twice in the last week Maybe DVD Talk should restructure the forums so that there would be two main forums: 1) Serious Talk and 2) Not-So-Serious Talk

So, the more people who place orders for a DVD, the lower the price becomes. Not sure how well it has been working out.
Indiebuyer has basically been a total flop. Only a handful of extremely niche indie titles that would never amount to any significant sales volume. good concept, but I guess none of the studios cared enough to participate.

I didn't mean to sound sarcastic, just stating a fact.

I opened my video store with inventory close to a blockbuster and made sure to have a drop box outside.

Within weeks I had a pretty sizeable inventory from people to lazy to return their blockbuster rented movies back to them and instead dropped them off for me.

I just wanted to say, thanks guys and I hope you enjoy your late fees cause I'm keeping your donations!!!

No one accused you of sounding sarcastic. It's your ability to tell when other people are being sarcastic that is greatly lacking.

HELP!!!! I'm opening up an Adult Video Shop next week! I already payed for a year's rent and I also just got a great deal for a case of mops and buckets from Home Depot. But i'm confused with the levels of adultness - Besides the X-rated videos, should I include R-rated movies? Because when someone turns 17, they become an adult,they can see an R-Rated movie. Therefore, doesn't that make an R-rated film an adult Film? I know that a lot of adults watch Disney films as well. So since adults watch Disney films, does that mean I have to put Disney videos on the shelves of my Adult Video Shop???? Please help, i'm sort of confused....And can some X-Rated movies be only for 21 year olds, but not for 17 year olds?
