Also stock some of the more unusual, low demand, items. People who buy those
will also tend to buy the other stuff along with it.
Also, and this is something that has anoyed me in the past, be prepared to
sell the *pure* product. Too often the chemicals I wanted have been
adulterated with other crap and made into tablets or other 'value added'
junk. When I buy stuff, be it vitamin E or caffeine, I want it in grams and
99%+ pure. That's very difficult to find here from a normal supplier and I
have had to get it from chemical supply houses in the past.
