How to Become a Dealer of Mini Helmets

Steps To Becoming a Mini Helmet Dealer

• 1

  Acquire your stock. Buy mini helmets at reduced prices. Look for helmets that are bargains, selling at well below market price. Look for helmets that are listed incorrectly, with names spelled incorrectly. Focus on acquiring entire collections of one team. Only when you have a large collection of helmets and can sell on a regular basis, should you think about setting prices and opening your mini helmet business.

• 2

  Determine prices by analyzing your competitors. Determine what they are selling their helmets for, on average. Compare your helmets to their helmets. If they are the same, set your prices just below their prices. Or price your shipping costs slightly lower than the competitors. This will give you an advantage.

• 3

  Set up an online store. Almost all buying and selling of mini helmets is done online. Set up an online store for your mini helmets. Sell them on websites that specialize in trading of collectibles.

• 4

  Put into place an organized shipping system. Buy boxes that fit the helmets securely without a lot of extra packaging materials. This will speed up the handling process and make the transaction more efficient.

• 5

  Keep an accurate record of payments both to and from your business. Determine your profits and adjust your payments accordingly. Keep written records for all of your business payments. This will ensure a good tax return as well as provide valuable data on the success of your mini helmet business.
