PostSubject: good /bad news   good /bad news EmptyMon Oct 08, 2012 12:04 am

so i came up with the money to get a new mold and buy a new disc sander. i really like the whole making the decks and the whole business side of making fingerboards. im not going to lie fingerboarding itself is gone, i do it every once and a while, but not like i did along time ago. i like making the fingerboards rather then actual making them, i see this as a good thing in a way i have more time to focus on quality. but ill talk about that part more later. the whole strting the business isnt a problem its with i make money , i know money is not what isnt about. but i would like people to actual buy my product. it pointless to spend all of this money and have no one buy my fingerboards.

Design . i plan to make the new redwolfs to look more like real skateboards. and in shape. so long nose short tail . ect. kingpin holes or not , all of my trucks have kingpin holes

So my question is would you buy my fingerboards?

I think it's a little weird you're trying to get people committed to buying your product before even having a picture to show what it would look like. If you're only worried about money then this is not for you.

It's called an investment dude. You take the risk but you really don't have anything to worry about if you can make a good quality deck. This really applies to anything in life. Plus you are always going to have people not buy even after they say they will buy. Imagine how BRR felt when developing their trucks. Don't forget that some basic marketing makes the biggest difference. An update once a day with a picture of the work you've been doing can go a long way. I honestly think that if you're so concerned about money that you should work on perfecting your decks more because if you had them at the best you can then you wouldn't be worried about people buying.

im pretty sure Someone would buy your decks cause they look decent in the review. Like ryan said you take a risk when starting a buisness. I feel what you mean when you said why make decks if no one would buy thembut, in order to start a buisness you take risk. It. is up to you if you wanna sell decks not potential customers.

It seems like you only want money and your only doing it for the money.

This kinda information should not be discussed with potential buyers. Buyers like me dont care if your looking to make money. i am looking for a sick deck and a great company to buy them from. Please dont discuss business with buyers. its like telling people who much you spend making the decks and selling them at a stupid higher price. come on dude. general business.

I think you guys are missing the point here, Keelan didn't say he's doing it to make money, he said he's doing it because he enjoys making decks. He said that he's worries that he's spending a load of money on a new mold, and a new disc sander, but he doesn't want to if people aren't going to buy his decks, because it would he a waste of money.
Seems like people just assume that he's in it for the money just because he doesn't fingerboard, and I'm not sure if I'm the only one that noticed, but he just bought a brand new Homewood M5.

Im pretty sure if you make decks like in the video, you have what you need to do down and all you need is to be more active on the forum and you would atleast sell some. Start out with a few and you can work your way up. I am telling you your decks look nice someone would buy from you or you will atleast find a distributor. Go for it man

Everything involves taking a risk, spending money.
But if your products are amazing, then people will notice and you will start to sell, it does take time to get buyers though

Most hobbies has a cost. If you truly enjoy making decks, it's no problem to spend the money for the equipment on it.
