I like the idea but the low barrier to entry could be a problem. I'd imagine this space is flooded already.

Forgot the bit where you have to deal with the Chinese. Good luck with that.

I think it would definitely be flooded in the us but I am in Switzerland, there is much less competition here and people are just starting to get into hypebeast culture because of supreme paris, I plan on trying to make sales mainly by spamming people that follow instafamous french/german hypebeasts... I'm wondering if instagram would immediately ban bots? And I don't know shit about programming, how hard would it be? could I pay a university student in computer science a couple hundred to do it for me or is it more complicated? Also I have tons of cash so that is not a problem, I'm planning on buying a thousands worth to test the waters...


Also a big question is on selling fakes or not? anybody know the risks? cause these would fly off the fucking shelves if a clean looking site in english sells them... but people are too worried/can't be bothered ordering off taobao from china..

get poo in loos or slavs to do anything for like 100usd
Pro tip: if the Chinese think you have a viable business (legit web presence, branding etc,) you can ask for samples usually you will only pay shipping.

Wouldn't fuck with fakes. easier to get items that look similar to supreme and rebrand/relable under your own name "NAZIGOLD HIDERS" because youre swiss get it ?

go with one with good reviews and pay in stages 50 now 50 when you like it
>What's your experience buying from chinese suppliers?
you should pay 30/70 - release the 70 when you have all the product and you like it
>the chinese will cut every corner unless you tell them that you will not pay if they do : x, y, z, and it must be do your standards 1,2,3 - once they know you will not pay until it is to your standards you will get quality product

>basic gestalt on the 135k
gave 30% deposit, they sent a shit product out of spec, i said i will not pay the 70%. they sent product in spec, then i paid the 70%.

50k was pretty lucky to get back, i had another chinese supplier threaten them with lawsuit because as american you have no leverage in china

>>1870377
wanted to outsource a long time ago but backed out for these reasons. never had to deal with them to this day and am glad. for some people it goes smoothe somehow.

>>1870377
Damn, what kind of product are you selling that you buy for 135k, if you dont mind sharing? And any other tips for dealing with chinese sellers?

>>1870414
its all about risk mitigation anyone who has half a brain can do this

>>1870415
it was part of a larger 1m order. w/o too much detail, metal industrial parts

I see this style of clothing online all the time. Why is it so god damned fucking ugly? It screams, "Punch me, I'm a faggot." Fucking chinks man. We need to nuke china next time.

I think they're pretty cool if you know how to wear, but too expensive, they're obviously not supposed to be worn in real like they are styled in those photos though...

market is saturated my friend. Do something else. Not to mention quality assurance.
