Post by: paul ette on October 06, 2014, 05:20:31 pm

can buy a small round some compact some a bit scattered, price is x3. im worried about how to go about it as ive never done it, do you lose many customers when swapping?? worried they will say we dont want you sort of thing

Bought and sold a few over the years.you can loose the odd one because you are new /someone else.but have found this works in reverse as well you can pick up some that did not like the other guy

When I bought my round, I trusted the guy.
Perhaps naively. But it didn't do me any harm at all.
Didn't meet any customers at all.
Just got the list and did a drive by.

I think a lot can be said for following your gut.

I know the guy who's selling is trustworthy not worried bout him, just a little worried how the people will react to someone else doing it, is x3 about right?

I've bought 3 in the 4 years of trading...never had a problem you will lose a few but will gain a few too.
