I don't entirely agree. I get all my board games from local stores in Missouri and Florida. I live in California - they have both stores in MO/FL and their own stores on the web. They are consistently MUCH cheaper than Amazon, don't charge tax, and neither charges me shipping as long as I order over $100 at a time, which is 2-3 games. I could probably save money with ebay, but the amount of effort I'd have to put into it would negate any savings. I'm not saying it's a great idea, but "internet services and retailers have destroyed the local nerd store" is a bit premature. These two stores I buy from are probably leveraging long term existing relationships with distributors and their ability to move lots of product fast.

FSMC posted:Electronic sports device. I've made a proof of concept, which works. I'm working on the prototype. I'm based in London... These days the path for consumer hardware begins and ends with kickstarter. Nano wristbands, e-paper watches, steel ipod docks, etc. If it's hardware, make a prototype, the flashiest and most professional video introduction you can think of, some really great marketing copy, and kickstart the hell out of it.
