Questions regarding starting a Storefront [OOC]

Hello all,

I am new to this great game, but from what I've seen so far, I enjoy it a great deal.

I am interested in starting a storefront. I have read as many of the stickies as I can, but can't seem to get a definitive idea on how to get a Storefront up and going. Are there any guidelines or rules regarding the creation of such, or can I just start a store with whatever items at whatever prices I determine? (I say this as a curiousity, I intend to post realistic devices, prices, and specifications).

Obviously, I cannot duplicate Player created designs, but what about Real Life designs that are offered by other stores?

My country is a starting nation, with a correspondingly small GDP, are there any limitations to what I can produce at this level, or can I start dumping CVN's on the market right away?

Is there any RP requirements for the starting of a storefront? Should I flash news stories of construction of armanent and munitions plants, or just make the page?

Any creative input you have would be welcome,

Thank you,

Rowesuela

Feel free to make the thread, there's really no restrictions on what you can sell (as long as it obeys the board rules, which is pretty much just no obscene content), or at what prices (although you'll most likely get ignored if you're selling Abrams for a buck). You can sell any RL stuff you want, although since others can just manufacture it themselves without getting bitched at, making your own designs help a lot. If you need help making feasible designs, I'd suggest checking out the NS Draftroom, located here. (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php)

Technically, you could post up as many stuff as you want when you make a store front.

You could also sell RL stuff as well.

However, to be realistic I'd suggest to keep the stuff you sell to a minimum.
You just started out after all.
