I owned a local computer store in Florida (it was destroyed by Hurricane
Charley). The only place in town to buy media was the usual suspects
(Circuit City, Wal-mart, Staples, etc.) and none of them carries
printable media.
I started selling media out of my store since I bought so much in bulk
and could sell it cheaper and still make a profit. After I got my Epson
R300, I started offering custom printed media for people who didn't have
a printer.
If you own a computer store, you might consider doing the same. I was
able to sell custom printed media at slightly higher prices than what
the local stores sold regular media for and still make a very good
profit. The only downside is the time you spend sitting at your
computer doing the printing.
Once it gets profitable enough, you can get one of the automatic
printers for $1000 that you can just load up 100 disks into.
Just tossing the idea out.
