my brother & I were thinking about opening a DVD rental store ourselves. I did the business plan & feasibility study. We have a good location & demopraphics. the main problem was finding a cheap source. As my brother was asking me how much it will cost to have it up & running. for now i put the idea off till i find a dirstributor
BTW I live in Beirut (lebanon thats in Asia)

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?

Good to see humor on DVD Talk still alive and well!
OP check your countries laws on Parallel Importing and you will see that you cannot legally do what you intend as will be in breach of those laws.
Extremley foolish if you have in fact leased a storefront without doing some basic research on this business.

zzz... zzz... zzz...
Guys I too would like to start a DVD business. I have no money, no store, an in college full time so I couldn't be there at all. I think I'll start by renting out my own collection of DVDs and Xbox games to see if I can turn a profit. I think my late fees will be imposed four hours after you rent my shit if you haven't brought it back yet, unless of course it's a lord of the ring extended cut then you've got five hours. I'll totally skip the DVD movie rental cases and give my renters the real case the DVD came in oh and I'm not going to buy rental copies for my store no way I'm going to Amazon and Best Buy damn I'm going to get myself hooked up.
zzz... zzz... zzz... zzz...
Oh wait I just woke up and remembered I'm not a complete fucking retard I guess you're on your own buddy, but if you need DVDs try Best Buy or Amazon hell maybe even your local blockbuster for the used rental for sale rack, oh and there's always NetFlix.

TOBEN, you have a very good library - my library only stocks American movies and a couple German movies on DVD.
When I open up this Adult video store, i'm also thinking of donating all my beastiality and necrophilia DVDs to the store. But do you think that the customers will now that they are used? I want my customers to have the best DVD quality possible. I'm torn between getting used or brand new dvds for the store...I haven't found any beastiality/necrophilia DVDs priced at wholesale, so I may have spend the extra cash for these movies so that my customers get the best...I don't want to be like Blockbuster, renting out scratched DVDs...
Can anyone recommend a good carpenter for carving out the glory holes in the masterbatorium booths? I want a well sanded and a good finish around the edges. I don't want a half-assed job, because I hate when I get splinters that way...

TOBEN, who said anyone was kidding? Im talking serious business here...so does anyone have any advise about the carving of the glory hole? I need a trustworthy carptenter - with splinters and a rough finish, it's gonna be a gory hole instead of a glory hole and that wouldn't be good for business...
how about wipeable glass over the tv? I need something that wipes cleanly off without leaving stains? Can anyone recommend a good place to buy window protection covering tv screen?
I only have a couple days till my store opens, so the sooner, the better...
