I am wondering and could use your input - I could use some of my studio for a minis/dh store, too. It is an official retail space, so no problem with the town or landlord. But, I dont want to keep regular store hours 5 days a week but would consider something like 10:00 am to 2:00pm a couple of days a week or something like that. I would sell extra kits I have, great finds I rehab, and some furniture and accessories (OOAK and standard). Does this make sense? I would just let word of mouth bring in traffic. Since I already pay rent anyway and have store insurance (liability), the cost is almost nothing except for some product (I can buy wholesale, craigslist, freecycle whatever). Although I might not make much money, I could probably make more than my costs for what I might sell.
