It's going to be tough Angel but you will have to face the facts. You're not going to be able to buy retail quantities at wholesale prices. It just doesn't work like that in the real world. It's also the reason many businesses just don't get off the ground. You have to invest a lot of time and money for very little return (or even a loss) just to get established and hope that eventually you will be busy enough to start showing a profit. Effectively you will be buying for X and selling for X just to be able to put your name on it. When you're busy enough to be able to buy at wholesale quantities and wholesale prices, you may start to make money. Even then it's not alway plain sailing. I would always spend over a grand when i went to market but there where always times when some things where just too many for what i wanted and i knew i'd either throw them out or struggle to get rid of them. It's a case of 'win some, lose some' but you can only cope with that if you've got a consistent turnover. But don't let that put you off Angel, you can achieve anything if you really want it bad enough.
