hey Tim i have a suggestion, maybe you can open up a shop in some places, cause then noobies will be able to see what they are buying, and you can sell the stuff for a cheaper price(im not saying by a big difference) and more people will come to your store, and that means.....more $$$ for you.

This has been talked about a lot. We would love to go to events and have a booth! Would be a lot of fun, but at this point, time is our biggest factor. Eventually, I'm sure we will explore this option, but for now, its not a priority.

Exactly conventions are the primary way for a lot of prop vendors to get the word out there. For now just do your best to spread the word.[:D]

You're in San Diego and you don't know Comic-Con?[:0] That's the second largest nerd convention besides DragonCon.

I'm hoping to attend D*Con this year.[:)]

This store kicks butt and I hope it continues to do well. I know I am ready to do my part in a little free advertising competition and of course the Maul saberstaff conversion is like a perfect prize in my eyes. The best way to get more folks comin' here and gettin' some goods is for us to go out there and pitch the site.

Hmm... I could lookup conventions but local stuff I don't have much control on. How about people e-mail me info on the local stuff for dueling and I add it to this list?

Tim? SaberGirl?

Any thoughts of allowing others to buy wholesale and become re-sellers for you? Or would 'Distributor' be a more accurate description?

I would love to have a saber I have built and an MHS Kit to show people what they are buying. But then, I would be interested in holding home shows and utilizing local 'Jedi' to do dueling demos where participants would register for a workshop... build the saber with customsabershop componants and then learn how to duel with it.

We already sell at wholesale to certain individuals. You have buy large amounts to become a wholesaler though.
