You already have quite profound effect on the market place , why not find a way to cash on it? You don't even have to prostitute yourself into revieving whore just make a separate " commercial " part of your web site like your exotic leftowers with short recommedations of worthy equipment for which you could charge accordingly interested parties. Is this not what all of the emailing morons ask for ? , well give it to them for free and earn some money. You can even satisfy your dark side recommending total crap and watch the prices go up

Actually, sometimes I had an idea to have a commercial version of the site. In past I thought to have it as a completely different site (I own domain SiteAboutSound.com or something like this), not associated with my own personal site and in there to run purely e-commerce operation, discovering the new “things” and to sell them in there under special “garnish”. I have a very clear vision what kind “things” need to be sold in there. Unfortunately to discover, test and to develop those “things” takes a lot of time and I am not looking to devote myself to this type of operation. For the same amount of time that I would spend to deal with my e-commerce site to sell for instance porn gives much higher cost-benefit ratio. The point is that to sell the audio toys would give me identical satisfaction as to sell sex games, stolen pharmaceuticals, “demilitarized” vacuum cleaners, or imported exotic fruit. To sell non-audio crap brings much more money for fewer efforts. So, I think if I hit the e-commerce then it will be not audio related.

The idea that I WAS contemplated is to discover not the existing “thing” but made my own “things”, recognizing and slightly developing a need/demand and providing the supply. I do have some engendering and production recourses that I might bring into the game if I need to. I have an audio- friend who “invented” the need/demand, provide a very smart and very chip to make solution and very nicely is making ~$22k a year by doing absolutely nothing. If to have a few products like this and to create a framework that would protect the “thing” from imitation and competition then it might be something that I would contemplate. Again, it would be absolutely not associated with current my own site and I would like to be absolutely incognito in that new audio-commerce operation. I do have a few idea what the “things” might be and to a degree I do have more or less elegant solution the might be former as very interesting products. However, all these “things” are very narrow demands products and not type of the products that I feel worth to undertake for wide operation. I do not keep thinking about it but I do keep my eyes open for such ideas. Frankly I do not think that I will come up with something as my dally audio practice is too far from the dally experiences of most of prospective audio customers, and my feelings of their need might be very much screwed by my pleasure to mock them by selling to them sublimational crap and to see them to erect the crap to their pathetic pedestal…
