If successful (and I am worried that it might not be) I would have liked to sell directly to the public. Give them direct support from fabricator to them leaving out the wholesaler. That said negotiations are slow and most fabricators are hooked on wholesaler money so it is going to be a process. Franchising is forcing my hand, one simply can no longer compare prices and the wholesalers fail to recognize this growing problem.

That said (IF) successful then selling to resellers would have been a strong possibility and (might) still be. At the moment I wish to target the less known PC component fabricators, quality being key thus research is essential. Sadly there is no substitute for CPU’s and this is where the monopoly is at the moment.

Most of us that are in the business know that we are on a very short leash at the moment, and we can barely hit a proper mark-up.

That said one needs to be careful there are fabricators out there looking to make fast money and give us the lowest worst most crappy products imaginable.

Still it is time to think outside the box or facing to close shop and do something else.

But the last thing I want is to buy into a franchise... Still if that becomes the only option who knows...
