I love this. Hoping to retire early from my tech career someday and I have dreams of finding my own weird semi-profitable niche that I can run by just myself and my family for a few hours a day.

I currently have an incredibly small ebay business doing fairly specific motorsports vinyl emblems. The profit margin per order is great but I'm lucky to get a handful of orders a month and have no idea how to scale it. There are thousands of other people doing vinyl stuff on ebay for absolutely peanuts and I don't know how to compete with that.

Are you selling only online or are you setting up vendor booths at events?

Not wanting to pry, but are those motorsports decals paintable? There's definitely a niche there if you can do paintable graphics, I have at least 2 motorcycle tanks that I'd love graphics for. HMU @ my username at Google mail if that's a sub field you can serve.

yes, this indeed feels like a retirement! just online, because we don't actually have a booth. we have separate machines, and most of the process is manual actually.
