    More than enough to get started with. Less than I had when starting up. Work hard. Work really hard. Work harder than everyone else. You just have to. Travel the entire country buying stock as cheap as you can, selling quickly and efficiently. Get cars, back prepped and on sale as fast as possible. Spend the time I had making video, good pics, good descriptions and recording everything accurately. Re invest and pay nothing to myself at all.

    I don't mind these calls so long as they follow the sentence with "hello, i bought a car from you" breath and a think "ooh over six months ago...."

    Hahahaha BEST heading I've seen on here for months, well said! Yes, things are tough out there but yes if you keep a positive attitude you will succeed We started as a man and wife team ONLY back in Feb 2003 with 12 cars, 14+ years later, we now have 13 employees, Turnover £7M per year and have a real life successful 'family business' . In 2009 when the Financial Market collapsed we moved into brand new purpose built premises, when the Oil & Gas Bubble ( we are based in Aberdeen(shire) Oil Capital of Europe) burst in 2014 ( to current day) we changed our business model to suit and have grown year on year. Meet Challenge's head on , but if you feel you need help them Join The IMDA , launching on 5th of November! I'm living the dream! Jim

    Welcome Little Spender, Great subject..... Started back in May selling from home and finding it challenging due to the endless dynamics involved in trading cars... I avidly log onto this forum daily and think it is brilliant. All I will say you can leave it feeling really positive due to the excellent posts or it can sometimes leave you feeling a little bit negative as we all vent our frustrations openly. For me it is a lifeline as I am used to working as a team and I do miss the opportunity to bounce ideas around with people that understand the highs and the lows. This forum has certainly gone a little way to giving me this. It seems strange as I have never met anybody on the forum but the same names post daily and I feel I know them already, it is great to see how the more experienced guys get on on a daily basis. There is defiantly money to be made in this business and being positive plays a major part in helping you to achieve..... BUT as I said above it is mainly about taking calculated risks on the cars you buy to sell. For me this isn't easy as I have never gamboled in my life ha ha. I wish you all the best, Regards Dean.
