Default New business Idea .. Yay or Nay?

Hey guys,

I just saved up some savings over the summer as a university student and i wanted to start my own little dropping shipping business. I did some research and i realized that the hottest items in the market nowadays are ipods/ iphones or apple related products. Since i can't really afford these items, i have decided to drop ship "unique" and affordable household products that are fun and efficient to use.. like the advertisements you see on TV.. products like housewares electronics, vacuums, clothing accessories, washroom accessories etc.. based on your experiences, do you think this idea will work out?

My idea was to start up a sports online store selling sport Jerseys/sports equip/collections etc..

Also since i am longer an Ebay seller, I'm left off with my own online site , advertising locally with flyers etc.

Hope i get good inputs ! Thanks guys in advance

Hi,
Yes! i believe this could work. you have a niche you are interested in, that's a good start!
as you said, although ipods,psp,ect are hot selling items, theres very little profit to be made.

i would also suggest re-starting on ebay as theres probably alot of collectors for your sport niche. you would also get your products to a wider audience,

Good Luck!
Dale
