The problem is that many of the items mentioned in this thread require minimum orders to make the venture worthwhile. The bigger clubs can more or less guarantee that if they order a couple of hundred of something then they will sell them without question. Don't think Stanley can do that. Even if they sell enough to cover the costs, the rest are stuck in a stockroom and the venture is a waste of time.
I bet Lew's job is really frustrating. There are thousands of items out there that he probably thinks, 'they would be great'. The problem is getting them at the right price and more importantly the right quantity. Minimum orders are a pain in the backside
