Gold/Gemstone Prospectors Store

CONCEPT: A specialized store for amateur/semiprofessional gold or gem prospectors. Many individuals enjoy this pastime as an outdoor hobby and are willing to spend considerable sums on getting the right equipment – dredges, metal detectors, sluices etc. One variation is to set up the business as an online store, possibly within eBay, even as a stepping stone to a ‘real world’ store.

Strengths:

• Quite cheap
• Can buy it on Internet
• Fun

Weaknesses:

• Not a lot of customers. Only people who inerested in this kind of hobby
