i was talking to the guy that im gonna be buying my equipment from and basically my order is

1 combo press
1 a3 desktop vinyl cutter
180 mugs
300 mousemats
20 rolls of vinyl

and i did abit of negotiating and was able to knock about $500 off his online price, it made me think, he's obviously still gonna be making money on the deal, probably atleast $100-200 or its not really worth him doing it at discount, i was thinking that it must be a pretty good business to get into, what do you guys reckon?

if it was all that good...more would be in it....curious...what are you going to do with the mugs...you can't put vinyl on mugs...at least that will not peel off shortly after...what kind of vinyl..heat press or sign?

the vinyl is the 1 for t-shirts and i wont be putting it on the mugs and mousemats, i plan to use heat transfers for these that i saw on the new milford site

(by the way how did u get ur t-shirt black on ur avatar)

thanks

Like any other business, there is a good deal of competition. I also imagine it would take a good deal of capital to be able to buy equipment and supplies in the quantities that would allow you to turn a profit.

I would guess that the reason this vendor can give you that discount is because you're buying several items from him.
