Hi Folks,
I'm putting together a concept paper as part of starting a business, and I could use a little help with a market survey. If you have a couple of minutes to spare, please check it out below.
I am an electronics hobbyist myself and I know what I would want in a parts store, but if you could help me find out what you would want, then I can make it better for everyone.
Thank you in advance,
MrBill33
