Your prices are not terrible but I fear you will have a hard time finding things at a price in quantities enough to make the 40% - %50 markup that is required to support a business. Had you thought to do this 15 years ago the market was allot looser back then and you could find those deals. I use to make more flipping Oakley some weeks than my 9-5 job. I am afraid you will have to work pretty hard to do that these days though. I see you are doing other brands as well and that is smart to be diverse. Good luck with your overall goals here!

Do you stock any Errolson Hugh era Burton Analog?

15 years ago I was seven so it was quite difficult haha. Nevertheless you'll be surprised of the deals I find almost every day, but I see everyday it's more difficult to find them that's why I asked the first question. Thanks for all!

I sometimes come across some good old Burton Analog but it's not my main brand

They are still out there (the deals) you just have to work a whole lot harder to find them... Making this your business though will give you some of that time that will be needed...

My two cents (or euros if you will)…and I know ya did not ask .

I’d get a couple (or one to try) Oakley customs in your store. An easy (and not terribly expensive) model base like a Gascan or maybe a Scar…but with an interesting paint job by any of our talented customs artists on here…and see how it goes with your customer base. I mean one of a kind limited edition hand painted is a cool thing to put on a price card.

For example…and no these ain’t for sale

I have a contact. and he is selling majority of his collection. Minimum buy in though is $2k. so basically make a pile for $2k.
