Kate,How about something along the lines of cultured food, like worms and eels? Sponge filters is another Idea I had (hmm, that be be a lfs type item)
With the exposure available thru the internet these days it opens up many possibilities.
Collection of sales tax seems to be unclear, seems if the company has a store front in the state they are required to collect tax. I think it wont be too long before all internet sales are taxed. Recently I was charged sales tax on a printer I bought from Buy.com in California.
Hang in there and you will come up with some viable income source. Paul

Tax law for small business transactions is a pain in the butt, maybe he decided to just skip reading it. :)I think I am going to start an internet based fish business as I am pretty much unemployable with my inability to lift anything over 10 pounds and my vision is impaired. Anyone got any good ideas on merchandise? Was going to go with books but they seem to be pretty well covered. Don't want to compete much with the LFS and box stores so am thinking specialty items like ph pens and other obscure paraphenilia. I think the DMV will be yanking my license soon, we are going to try some new experimental contact lenses but if they don't work I won't be working either... Friends in Portland say they will give me a job at their LFS anyways but that is a long bus ride to work. I am not out to scour the LFS customers off the LFS, just to make enough to get by and market things that are hard to find.Kate Eric Anastas wrote:No of course not.

The guy I ambuying the halide light from is located in Colorado, and he thinks I have topay local sales tax. To my knowledge, I shouldn't have to pay the tax. Idon't pay Wisconsin sales tax when I order stuff from Drs.
