Drupal: Creating a Group Buying Website

I have a brilliant idea worth millions$$$    Group Buying Website!

 In the near future, and that future has already arrived in our major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg  - there will be no physical stores as we know them!  

  Of course, grocery Hyper Supermarkets will remain... but retail clothing stores, home appliances, children's toys, building materials, and auto parts shops will significantly decrease. 

  Only Giants - Hypermarkets will survive! The rest will simply go bankrupt. This is already being observed in large cities.  

  And the reason for this crisis will be the widespread emergence of - Group Buying Websites!

Here are my arguments and facts:

1. Hypermarkets have already greatly squeezed out small entrepreneurs. 
2. Rent for retail spaces is skyrocketing. Hypermarkets build their own commercial buildings, while small entrepreneurs have to pay outrageous rent prices. 
3. There are more and more manufacturers, and naturally, there is also more product. More shelves are needed for goods, and every square meter costs money.
4. The high rent for retail spaces forces entrepreneurs to raise prices drastically, while profits do not increase
5. Taxes! Starting January 1, 2013, taxes on entrepreneurs doubled!!!The foot traffic of a small store is limited to a dozen - a hundred customers a day...
6. One could go on endlessly..  
7.  

   Now think about it - where's the exit?

The solution presents itself - Group Buying Websites!!!

1.  Rent!   

    100 rub/year for a Domain Name and 100 rub/month  for Hosting Rent 

2.  Retail Space

     Unlimited space for placing products - you can showcase millions of items on your website3. Millions of buyers and visitors daily from all over the world      Basically, you can trade with the whole world! 

4. The manufacturer gets closer to the consumer You buy products directly from the manufacturer or from a wholesale base.  You can even purchase goods directly from China and Taiwan.5. Product selection.

       Only on a Group Buying Website can you choose the Best product available.  It’s online where you can carefully read all the Technical specifications of the product and compare your chosen item with other alternatives.

6. You won't be sold poor-quality goods  

      The internet connects buyers from all over the world.

       Only on the internet and on a Group Buying Website can you read reviews about products.  I assure you, if a product turns out to be defective - negative reviews will flood in.  

7. No need to go to work or hire salespeople

      You can work from home at your computer. You can handle thousands of applications by yourself. Representatives of your business can be all over the world.   

8. Taxes 

       If you want, you can avoid paying taxes altogether!!! For a store, taxes are charged per square meter of retail space, and you don’t occupy a single centimeter in reality!.  By learning to manage accounting - you can report in such a way that expenses exceed income, resulting in minimal tax obligations. 

9  Prices Of course, you can mark up prices two or three times... but why?  If you can just mark up by 5%-10%-20%!  After all, you don’t need to buy products with your own money, pay rent, or salaries to salespeople!  You order the product - pay the advance - you bring it - hand over the product - receive your commission.  If you’re not spending anything, not paying anyone, why take a big markup? 

10. Minimal risks

        By engaging in Group Buying - you personally do not invest your own funds!  So what are you risking if you’re not spending your money?  Essentially, a Group Buying Website is a way to make money out of thin air!

11 . "Launch"  A Group Buying Website can be started on pure Enthusiasm!  

Investing only 200 rub (100 rub for the Domain name and 100 rub for the first month of Hosting)    

But all of this is just details...

   The main idea of the business is - By creating a Group Buying Website - YOU HELP PEOPLE.  

You help them spend their money wisely, make their optimal choices.

Now to the point:
