I own the Cobra class 14, and I am very happy with it. It is the most useful machine in my shop. You won't have to buy different thicknesses of leather.

If you decide for the website, this book can help you a lot. I helped me out a lot. The book name is " WordPress To Go: How To Build A WordPress Website On Your Own Domain, From Scratch, Even If You Are A Complete Beginner" by Sarah McHarry

I think, you should consider this opportunity as an investment then. This store will be a good outlet for your products and name recognition in the long run. I would suggest you to create a brand name for your belts, easy to remember and with a specific idea, focus what makes your belts special, what makes them different or better than the competition, Also, very important have a website where you become known, as well as your belts. That way everything with your name on it will serve you as advertisement. All these element together will create a synergy that will help you in the long run. I hope it helps. Good luck with that!

I sell belts online, and I believe 18 units or so is too low of an inventory. The problem with belts is the different sizes. You have to have a big inventory in order to sell many belts. and I believe, that is a lot of money to be tie down in an experiment. However, selling on consigment thru a big or known retailer is just another tool whitin your marketing strategy; and as a tool it depends how you use it. For example, it may give your brand name recognition, website recognition that can lead you to specific orders. so you do not have to invest in a lot of inventory. Maybe what you can have is some samples in the store and take custom orders thru the store, that may work better for you. I hope it helps. Good luck with that. Let us know how it work out for you.

I use it, I am very happy with it. It is very heavy though, as any other machine of its class. You will need two people to move it around.
