I have the experience etc.

My advice to you right now thow is don't do it. Unless you know in your heart that you are willing and able to offer something that the others can't you will be on to a loosing idea.

If you speak to a lot of these companies they will tell you that all is not rosy in the vinyle business.

My advice to you would to be to not specialise in just vinyl, you would have to do something more. Why not sell both vinyl and mp3 along side some gear.

The problem is that you have to have good business contacts to make yourself competitive out there because it really is a jungle. You must be able to offer the things people can get anywhere cheaper or the same. If you are going to be more expensive then you must have things that people can just not get anywhere else.

I would definately encourage you to go for it, but at the same time advise caution if you are just thinking vinyl.

I can give you a list of wholesalers but the problem is that they are based in the UK and may be too expensive if you are based in Canada. I can give you a whole list of do's and don'ts but will have to do that later... gotta rush off.

Cheers
Nem
