Guest Mark P Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Look at that net profit. No wonder they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Hang in there Joseph. If you were closer, I would be shopping at OMC. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest One More Cast Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 You can make a small fortune in a Fly Shop. 1) First, start with a large fortune. 2) Give up most of your fishing time in exchange for 70+ hour weeks. 3) Network, teach pro bono, work the phones, drive 100 miles round trip to give a talk on fly fishing (they give you one of the Club's hats as payment) teach some more (also pro bono) wait on a customer for an hour, give them your rod to go test-fish and then the customer comes back, "No, thanks" and you find out he bought the same one on EBay, smile, teach some more..... If I had the capital, there's another Shop in Minneapolis that I have my eye on. I could manage the commute ( I would have to cross 6 Trout Streams to get there) and I could placate my banker but not The Big, Old Brunette. I still love coming to work. If I didn't love this, I would have listened to my banker long ago.

Of course, you have to ask yourself, why would a guy sell an investment that is making him a 20% net profit (full time trained staff...hmmm). You would have to be nuts to let it go. On the other hand, maybe a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shop is being built just a couple miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
