Warren,

You asked some very good questions. I don't know if I have answers for all of them...LOL

One of the things that you mentioned was that we have "....few components...". I'm trying to add to the site everyday. We are picking up so many manufacturers that it's hard for me to list everything all at once. The stuff that sells the most gets added to the site first. I am trying to be very competitive on prices, so hopefully that will catch some attention.

I thought monitor resolution could be a problem. I may ditch the pictures altogether as they're probably not really doing any good.

I've been debating on whether to start building engines, but I'm leaning towards the "not" side of that. I've built a few and have a few scattered (the engines didn't scatter, but the customers are scattered around....LOL) in different states. However, seeing how much junk some of the other engine builders have been getting lately, I don't want any part of it at this point. There would be no way I could compete with Keith, Barry, George, etc. on pricing or reputation....so there's probably no use in starting.

I have a full time job during the day being a Mechanical Engineer and my business partner owns his own HVAC business. We really don't need this, but it's fun and we've been selling some stuff, so we figured we'd see where it goes.

I would like to talk to your nephew.....just an intro email would work for now. I'm good with computers, but I dont have website building experience.

Thank you very much for your comments....constructive criticism is very beneficial.

Oh, strictly, your comments were very welcomed as well.
