I believe the outcome is yes, since I know people who will give an arm and/or a leg for some of the exotic candy/foods from Japan.

But with minimal (if any) profit because your margin will get burned during importing due to costs like shipping, taxes, etc. such to make it a full time job you have to push tremendous volume (think like crates and crates of 1 candy).

Yes, shipping costs are the major cost here. Costs are what I will cover in a future cliffhanger post. And to be more clear about my goals, I am not expecting this to be big business, I absolutely agree with that. However if I could get this to cover our rent, that would be great.

I wait to read the actual breakdown on costs shipping, because that's where the interesting parts happen.

Don't let it show you are making too much money or your market will get crowded!

The thing about this idea is that it isn't (or certainly doesn't have to be) a full-time job.

Initial set-up costs should be low, and afterwards this is probably a one- or two-days-a-month job, with an income to match.

(And yeah, that cliff-hanger is a bit unnecessary, to be honest.)
