I am currently in the works to start my business up. I am working on the website right now and hope to have everything up and running in the next 2-3 weeks. I wanted to offer a place for us mustang guys to get good detailing supplies from someone you know who is not going to screw you over.

I am curious who would be interested in Poorboys detailing supplies and possibly DDM slim ballast HID kits. I will expand my product line as I can. I am in talks with a few other suppliers as well right now like chemical guys for those who know Adams detailing products, chemical guys makes all their stuff with a different name on it, or so I heard.

This has been a little dream of mine for many many years and I figure I should just do it and see if it works out or not.

MB.com members will get a nice little discount of course on everything.

Hardest part for me is coming up with a name for my business.

 

Gonna get the license and resale cert and all that jazz? Retail is a lot of stuff to keep up with. I could help you with the name

 

Because its an online business that will be run from my home all I have to get is a Florida business lisence. Problem is that I need a name before I can do that. I kinda want it to have something to do with my screen name since alot of people know me from that. And I would like to think I have a good reputation with most people.

 

Being that Im in the biz, I might become a customer of yours... that is, if you could give me a bulk discount.

 

I would damn sure buy from you. I've been wanting to try Poorboy's products, anyway, but didn't know who to buy them from or how Poorboy's customer service was. I also have HID lights on my list. One of the few things I have left to do with the exterior of the car.

I'm going to call one of my uncle's about the name of your business. He's a really creative person and I know he could think of something awesome for you.

 

I think you know that Mustang guys/girls support their own, so that is pretty much a no-brainer. I love PB products, so I'd definitely be interested in that, still can't decide on HID's for the 'Stang yet, but I may be interested in that too.

Are you looking to get into all kinds of detailing stuff, or just a retailer for a few companies?

 

I'd definitely do it. I'd choose a name that isn't mustang-related just incase you want to expand your business to serve a greater amount of enthusiasts, you won't have to deal with the name change later on.


I'd definitely buy from you. I've never used poorboys products but i'd give them a go.


As much as the over-the-counter **** sucks, you should stock it. You can beat the stores prices by at least 10% if not better. Most people do their shopping online nowadays, and they won't know what "Nattys Paste Wax" is, but they'll sure as hell know what turtlewax is, or other common product.

 

You're going to need to apply for a resale certificate and the appropriate tax form, you can do it online once you have your license and tax ID number( get that at IRS.gov)

You need a sales and use tax form and probably one more since you have inventory. Remember you do have to charge sales tax to fl residents and need to fill out the form quarterly. I have almost all of the same legal stuff that you'll need since selling a service is basically a product. So I can help you with that if you need any.

 

would definetely buy from you!
. that 50% discount you mentioned sounds appealing!

 

As far as customers, I'm pretty sure you've already got all of us as customers for those who would be interested in your products. I know when it comes time for HID's and some detailing products I will definitely come to you Spike. I wish you the best of luck with it and taking this on by yourself truly shows your character of a strong willed person which we all know you are.

 

Considering you're a friend and neighbor I would buy from you in a heartbeat. If there's anything I can do for you let me know.

 

i would buy!!!!!

 

I would buy from you Dustin. Do you have any idea of what pricing would be like for the Hid's?

 

id buy detailing supplies from ya

lets see....names.....

how bout "spike's specialty shoppe"
"spike africa automotive"
"spike's spot"

idk

 

^^^ LMAO!!!

I would buy the heck out of some PB products, as well as a set of HIDs. The slim-ballast was exactly what I was looking at.

 

I would buy. I want to try some Poorboys products and I am getting HIDs for the car someday, just don't know when.

 

I would definitely support a fellow member on here.

 

alright Ryan heres your chance to shut down your first
spammer.

Im in for some detailing stuff.

 

I'd buy from you, Spike...

 

I would definitely buy some HIDs from you if you were selling them.

 

I'm down for the HID kit for sure. After seeing your foglight HID kit I realized how bad I want some hid's fog lights and head lights...just waiting to get the car back first!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys and gals.

I have always wanted to open up a small online business and well hope that it would grow to something larger.

I do want to keep the name kind of non mustang specific so I could sell more products, but really I want it to grow enough to be able to carry mustang parts aswell. But for now it will just be detailing supplies and Slim ballast HID kits.

For pricing on the HID kits, I think I am going to be able to do them for $83-85 shipped for all non dual beam kits (still working on pricing for dual beam) with my support and tech included of course. I plan to make a few install tech guides to help people out.

And I will carry more then PB products, but for now since they make good stuff and I have been buying from them for awhile. I am going to start out with their line, and then add more as time goes on. Its very expensive to stock product so I need more capital before I can carry more.

I actually like spikes spot a lot lol.

And Pcola like I said I called the state of FL and told them my planes and they said I did not need any of those. But I when I go in to register my business name and get my business lisence I will ask if this truly is all I need to have. So thanks for the heads up.

Hopefully this works out as its going to drain my entire savings down to almost nothing to get this up and going, but you gotta take a chance once in awhile and see what happens.

I still need a name though.

 

Sounds like a good idea. Pricing is important. Im in the works with something as well but only in the dreaming phase.

 

I really like Spikes spot too. Good luck to ya and keep us posted on your progress.

 

SpikeSite

 

Spikes spot sounds like a pet store.

 

Thanks for the idea's guys, but I finally got a name and the site is currently being put together right now. I hope to have it done asap. I am going to register my business name and get my business lisence tomorrow and whatever other forums I might need. So look forward for a place to buy from real soon.

I plan to have a little something special for my opening for the MB.com members who purchase once we open the doors up. Aka a nice sale for you all!

 

You'll have to bring some products to the meets so we can save some money on shipping

 

dustin ftw plus i can come pick it up from ya lol

gl man

 

Well i need some wheel sealant so get on it.
