Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion Starting a new business.

Hopefully in time, I will have more time to do more things while working for myself. Last week I had 1 day that I worked 17 hours and another I worked 14.5 and by Missouri law, I got no OT or DT for either days.

Anyways, I know a guy whos dad used to own a gas station/bait shop off the lake. He wanted to sell all his stuff and lets just say, I dont have it all yet but what I did get for the price was a fucking steal.

I paid $200 for everything, only brought home 1 truck load so far. Just the unpitured molds alone are worth $30 ea brand new, I have 14 of them so far, which comes up to $420 just in the molds I have currently picked up. This does not include the 7,000 or so grub baits, thousand or so worm baits, the 5,000+ hooks, 150lbs of lead, lead melting pot, ingot casting plate and other things I have not pulled out of this guys storage yet.

HOOKS


BAITS



130 pounds of lead and finished 2 pound Ingot



Finished product of 1 of the lures I will be making, permission given to me by Colorado Bob's Buzz Baits. I also have my own design I am working on for crappie and bass which is a variation of that design. He is going to be retiring from the business soon and I might be getting all his gear and products from him. The lure below goes for $3.99 retail, about $2.50 wholesale and has about $.60-$.75 worth of material into it and maybe 5 minutes worth of time per lure.

EE master baiter.

Cool shit though. It would be much cooler if you sold them as lead paint childrens toys. Or maybe a piece of candy with a trebel hook that pedos could dangle from their vans. Think of the possibilities.

Be sure and not inhale deeply while melting lead!

Oh yah and hire Mexicans to make those lures.I bet Trance needs money for crack.

I heard Clown would be down to help with this startup company.

Nice man! Was going to ask if you got those yet. Also, did you ever go look at that boat?

Sorry, just got home from a 13.5 hour day at work lol.

I did not get a chance to look at the boat, Just had too much stuff to do last weekend and not enough time. A friend of mine is thinking about selling his river jon, comes with a 25 and 35 hp motor, trailer and trolling motor, its 16 foot long, I am going to be taking a look at that as well. I will hit you up as soon as I know more, which will most likely be next Sunday.

As for the lures, I already have 4 customers Its not much but a start. I just need to get my materials in so I can start building.... anyways, I need to get going, need to shower and get to sleep so I can be at work early in the morning. Going to be another 12-14 hour day tomorrow. That is fine though, this week looks like it could be anywhere from a $1500 to $3500 payout.

What's wrong with a little crack?

EE is proud of his R/L ingots I bet.

hahahaha

28 sets of these are the bare minimum I am coming across this week. Basically, the boxes are damaged and they cant be sold, some are so damaged that they wont work so they will be scrapped. A co worker and I are getting them for free from the company who makes/ships them. Instead of them having to dispose of it, we will do it. Retail, $600 for a set of tops and bottoms. We will be splitting them, 50-50 and selling them for $300 ea. We figure, if only 10 sets are good for each of us, we will make $3,000 ea off of them. Easy money and it will go into my getting more supplies for this new venture.

Good money to be had in this area and I am going to take advantage of it. I could, in theory, only work 2 days a week and make a better living than I currently am doing.

WTB 10 pounds of crappie fillets plz. I am addicted to that shit.
