I'm not sure if it's really appropriate to post here, but I do know that there are some vendors who hang out here, so I figured I'd post my questions and see what happens.
I'm selling some roasted coffee to friends and family, and since I personally own a variety of brewing equipment, I often get asked how I make my coffee and would like to be able to offer things like the clever dripper, aeropress, filters, and hario dripper products. For grinders, I figure I'd work directly with baratza.
I've looked into reselling these, but the quantities I would need to purchase wouldn't be feasible when I'm only selling maybe two items per month.
I know there have been group buys on things like these, but should I even consider purchasing for resale or just buy the items and sell them at my cost? I'm really wanting to provide some of these services, but maybe I'm not ready for that yet.
Just looking for some advice from someone who has dealt with this before.
Thanks.
