Know What You Can Sell Before You Buy Your First Pallet

This plan opens with the compliance line that has sent real operators to federal prison: ITAR export-control rules mean night vision and other controlled items can never be shipped outside the United States, regardless of age or how the item was acquired, and the same federal exposure applies to body armor law, badge and insignia statutes, and the Federal Switchblade Act. It then covers the actual skill of this trade — sourcing through auction, graded consolidators, wholesale, and a fairly priced buy counter — and a real storefront-plus-online model projecting $180,000 in revenue against a 2.2–2.5x markup target.

Built From Real Numbers

The plan lays out the written compliance rules to post on your own wall before opening — no international shipping of controlled items, no US-marked or Level 4 body armor, no badges or medals, age-gating every knife sale at 18 — because a single violation carries criminal exposure that no other mistake in this trade does.

It also covers the sourcing edge a real market check found sitting unclaimed: incumbents in a garrison-town corridor were criticized repeatedly for lowballing sellers at the buy counter, which is the exact function that determines your inventory cost and the one an honest, published buy sheet can win.
