Starting out…
I have about 4 other investors interested in opening an Amiga dealership in
North Carolina. One of the other guys tried to get in touch with someone
at Commodore but they wouldn't return his calls. Can you answer a few
questions for me?
How much of an initial investment was required/recommended to open a
dealership? How many Amiga's to you sell per month, model breakdown if
possible (ie, how many 500's, 3000's, etc)? What is the approximate Gross
Margin on sales of the Amiga's if sold at full retail price (if you can
devulge that info)? What type of quantity-purchase discounts does Commodore
offer? Who should I get in touch with and how? How much was required to set
up a authorized service center also?
We have a location in mind and would really like to get things going. We
figured an initial investment of approximately $120,000
.. is that enough or should we look into a larger number? Any quick
responce would be greatly appreciated. Our goal isn't one of large profit,
but moreso to get more and more Amiga's into the hands of small and large
businesses and families. We ssee the great potential in the Amiga and the
dealers in NC just don't push the machines at all… period. Please
respond in EMAIL if you dont mind. It allows for more of a private
discussion, and anything said will me kept in upmost confidence. Thank you.
