If you started your own shop what would you sell?

[dustybiker2]

Triumph and Suzuki motorcycles, for me. My two favorite brands (though I love them all) are missing local.

[stark04]

I'll start my industry. I'm not gonna say what I'll be selling but I'll definitely be the one to manufacture it. 😀

[dustybiker2]

This is interesting. 💪🏻

[stark04]

And who knows we might work together too. With your vehicle industry and mine secret industry we can make hybrid vehicles which can run efficiently on new improved fuel, a fuel created by us not extracted from the earth. 🤗

[dustybiker2]

I'm in. 😎

[stark04]

We have a verbal confirmation. I'll contact you when I'm successful 😊

[dustybiker2]

Haha Sounds good.

[WhiteSteve]

I’d probably open a hockey shop, sell equipment, sharpen skates, etc. That’s a gold mine around these parts.

[dustybiker2]

Oh nice. Love the ice too.

We almost lost our skate rink due to covid. The city decided to take it on. Now it's kept up much nicer. It would have been a shame to loose it.

[WhiteSteve]

Local government to the rescue, haha. Glad they kept it going!

[dustybiker2]

Haha So true. I was shocked too. And concerned. Then happily pleased.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I was thinking about a strip club for demisexuals and sapiosexuals. So we only hire really smart and charismatic exotic dancers.

And before each one dances on stage, we have a 15 minute lecture they can present on a variety of interesting topics like history, literature, biology, physics, philosophy, etc. Then an additional 15 minutes sharing things about themselves and what they enjoy and so forth.

Then they dance on stage.

And we sell like autographed cards with their pictures as well as drinks, lap dances, table dances, buffalo wings.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Also some talent shows sometimes (tasteful ones), and for the dancers that are creative and create artistic works, we have a gallery showcasing their art and even selling it. Also we print books written by the dancers and sell them at the miniature bookstore/bar.

[dustybiker2]

lmao Your mind works in mysterious ways. Love it.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

It might be a bit of a niche market. Yet that's always been a complaint from me with pornography and strip clubs. It's exciting to the caveman but also the nudity tends to kind of blend into the background. It ceases to become so interesting to me if we know barely anything about the woman.

With pornography there's no character development or drama so that we can grow attached to the characters first. It's always so rushed like a woman answers door and has sex with pizza delivery man or something like that.

Who is this woman? Does she have any interesting talents, expertise over any subjects? What are her passions, her dreams, hopes, fears? They don't establish anything so it's just random woman gets naked and has sex. That's not nearly as interesting as it could be to me.

[dustybiker2]

Hey, there is always an audience. Create a safe space and keep the drinks coming.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Yay! 🙌🤝

[dustybiker2]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 🙌🏻

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'd go to this if instead of a lap dance or stripping, I could just pick their brains for whatever scientific information I wanted.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

@TheSpaceGnome Conversations with the customers would definitely be a bonus!

[KrakenAttackin]

Good luck finding "smart strippers"...

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

@KrakenAttackin Might be a bit tough. 😅

[dustybiker2]

@KrakenAttackin I knew a couple who were paying off college tuition.

[KrakenAttackin]

@dustybiker2. Not healthy. If there degrees were worth anything they would not have to strip.

[dustybiker2]

@KrakenAttackin It's not really that. They were both dancers to begin with and neither were self conscious. They enjoyed it. It was a higher end club though. Clean and staff was great.

[KrakenAttackin]

@dustybiker2 it's still trading sex for money.

[dustybiker2]

Prostitution is legal in a lot of places. That is sex for money. Stripping if consensual display.. it's not a big deal.

[KrakenAttackin]

@dustybiker2. I hear you, but it still bothers me.

[dustybiker2]

It bothers me too. Which is why I never participated. Just wanted to share that I know two people who actually enjoyed it.

[IslaTheWitch]

I could offer a safe space to talk about everything and anything... to make them feel understood and heard... maybe also crocheting in group or crochet lessons?

I could sell some potions...

[dustybiker2]

Homeopathics are hot.

[sirderpsalot123]

Stuff for lazy people. We probably wouldn't be open much because I am lazy.

[sirderpsalot123]

Can you check in the back for something.”

“Look ma'am, I don’t think you get what we’re about here.”

[dustybiker2]

lmfao

Comic shop.

[dustybiker2]

I was actually told to leave one once 😏I was actually told to leave one once "Go away. We don't sell xfiles stuff anymore."

[sirderpsalot123]

The derpiest comic shop. I was actually thinking about saying that first lol

[dustybiker2]

Why does audio text do this to me? It doubled at send

[dustybiker2]

And they had lots of xfiles memorabilia. Monkey butts.

[sirderpsalot123]

You weren't lying when you said people are always telling to go away hahaha

[sirderpsalot123]

I'd never kick you out of my comic shop

[dustybiker2]

Thanks buddy

He only did it to see what my reaction would be.

[sirderpsalot123]

Well that isn't as funny 😒

[dustybiker2]

It sounds a good fit for you.

[sirderpsalot123]

It does

[dustybiker2]

You wanted me legitimately kicked out?
Yeah. That would have been funny too.
Hysterical later 🔥

[jennifer_bloom]

I would love to sell perfume cause I think it's easier to manage than other things you might sell like clothes, which would require moth and insect control. Food, which would require bacteria and temperature control, or money which would require market and opportunity controls etc...

[Phoenix98]

Probably a cigar shop/lounge.

Business wise it'd be a smart move because the market is there for it and such a place does not exist where I live and I am quite knowledgeable on tobacco and cigars so I'd be in my element.

[Miah04]

A carribean history museum.

It be fun to teach the history of my ancestors

[dustybiker2]

Very nice. Couple teddy bears in there too? For @Fuentes and @sirdersalot123

[dustybiker2]

I always forget your p when forced to type it @sirderpsalot123

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 it's ok. I always forget your 2 lol

[Miah04]

Yes big cuddly ones

[dustybiker2]

@sirderpsalot123 Easy slip lol

@Miah04 Those jumbo 🧸🧸

[sirderpsalot123]

Dusty can hold onto mine for me

[dustybiker2]

@sirderpsalot123 Strappin' it to my bike now. Keep it smelling fresh fresh.

[ChicoFromThe305]

I actually plan on doing so but I don't know what the product will be yet 🤔

[dustybiker2]

Best of luck to you, sir.

Apple products perhaps? 😁

[ChicoFromThe305]

Never apple products but that you lol

[dustybiker2]

I'm teasing lol I knew that would strike a nerve. I'd gladly be in the apple chain.

[Charliefretz329]

I've always been interested in a bicycle or hardware shop.

[Charliefretz329]

Although I’m already a handyman, and general residential contractor. I’m also an aircraft mechanic so that would be a good gig.

Actually I really love carpentry!

Although being able to run my own profitable farm has always been a dream.

Many options here lol

[Charliefretz329]

Charlie’s repair shop. You break we fix. 🙂

[dustybiker2]

I love this, Charlie. A man of many talents. 🫶

[Charliefretz329]

I've always been a tinkerer. It’s like real life puzzles

[dustybiker2]

I was always afraid to. Raised knowing to take care of things as I would only get one.

[Charliefretz329]

Well, when I broke things it was fix it or go without. When I wanted things we couldn’t afford i could revive someone else’s castoffs.

And I have an insatiable desire to know how things work to boot

[dustybiker2]

Thats excellent and a good point.
In my house the person my mother was married to claimed to be as good as you, but only half/arsed everything making repair attempts ten times worse rather than researching first.
Took me hanging around friends fathers to learn the better way.

[Charliefretz329]

A person can always learn to be better. I don’t claim to be the best but I can make almost anything functional

[dustybiker2]

Open mind. It's priceless.

[Charliefretz329]

It’s essential

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for my shop I would sell shells down by the beach.

[exitseven]

Guns and ammo.

[dustybiker2]

Maybe you should get in with @krakenattakin

[dustybiker2]

I knew I would mess that up, dang app. @KrakenAttackin

[KrakenAttackin]

Guns N Ammo 😉

[KrakenAttackin]

With a side business of linear and conical charges.

[dustybiker2]

I might be a customer.

[KrakenAttackin]

@dustybiker2. Sweet! I have talked with a few guys about stating a small, small arms ammunition facility. Start by making 9mm, 45ACP, and.556.

[dustybiker2]

Great. Going in with people you trust would be less intimidating than starting something solo.

[KrakenAttackin]

@dustybiker2. Without a doubt. Plus there are more hands for the labor.

[dustybiker2]

Truth. 😎

[OtterMan68]

Military antiques

[dustybiker2]

I like this. Nice. Get some war planes, trucks and bikes out front to draw people in? (I imagine a big lot lol)

[Staximus]

Hot sauce or hot rods

[dustybiker2]

Both together would work lol

[Wiredone]

I already have my own business

[dustybiker2]

Solid man right here.

[Wiredone]

I just do my best to provide for my family

[laly520]

personalized handmade clothes

[TheSpaceGnome]

Everything I like.

[Sameone]

I don't know i never think about it

[dustybiker2]

This is a good opportunity to. No?

[Sameone]

Yeah problem is i still thinking and i didn't find it 😅

[Sameone]

Because, my work specialty has nothing to do with selling in a shop

[dustybiker2]

Ah okay.
