Well for me to start a computer repair business I had to get a federal tax id number and a business permit. I'm not sure how it works in ohio but the best way to find out about it is talk to other small business owners...or do what I did and talk to an accountant. For prices it probably all depends on if you get them directly from the company or a supplier and how much you buy in volume. One lady I do computer work for runs a car peformance parts company. The way it works is she gets all her stuff (every brand of parts) through this one place and then since she had to restart her company (now she is on her own) she has to buy about $10,000 worth of parts to get lower prices. Yeah my friend works at best buy too (he works at the headquarters though) and I know what you mean by stuff being marked up. Who knows if you started to sell it if you got it that low of a cost starting out until you sell lots and lots of stuff. And alot of suppliers will sometime only allow stuff to sell for retail price or higher. And remember to get a business rolling you have to work your ass off.....which is what I am doing now lol
