I think my time table for getting a business rolling has to be moved up. Yesterday, the boss calls me over and introduces me to a customer who's been shopping in my store for years. The clincher is: HE'S STARTING HIS OWN STORE! He's in negotiations to buy my boss's storage unit's worth of comic book backstock.

My problem is the fact that I wanted them. Now I think I need to tell my intentions to the boss, and if I'm going to move quickly, I think I need to see if he'll partner up with me or stake me for a storefront.

This is quite the pickle I'm in.

Well, mention it to him and see if he won't just hold his stuff in storage for you....Do you think he'd do it? I guess it wouldn't hurt to partner up with him or whatever, but would you be able to get out of it if you wanted to? Good luck, Bill!

BTW~ Dinner Monday night...what time works for you?

Look this is simple: You wait for him to make the purchase, then you kill him and make it look like an accident, then you come up with a good story as to how you came across such a large and familiar pile of comics and collectable crap. See you dont have to pay for the stash, you eliminate a future competitor and you get to keep your time table. Foolproof.
