We also sell other electronics and such. Many 2old2players have bought products from us, as a matter of fact, most of our clients are people from here (thanks so much for helping us get it off the ground). Anyway...
Our company, over the last week and a half, has had their first "strangers" order from us! Wohoo! As much as we love 2old2play people ordering we know you're doing it to support us, not as a random buyer. A random buyer means we're starting to invoke some level of trust, showing up in search engine results and froogle.google.com.
I really have no idea why "all of a sudden" we're getting orders, granted most are Wii related products and we're trying hard to push them (regardless of crappy margins) we did have someone buy a couple portable DVD players the other day.
We're not nearly out of the red, but it's exciting to see sales pickup and people trust us a bit. Although most are using paypal, probably for the obscurity and anonyminity of it all - but hell who cares!
Anyway, just wanted to boast some excitement - Falelorn's blog reminded me to post something, although I've never had anyone ask if I was a white person before ordering (that's just sad).
