Hey foundooors, need some advice. I have an opportunity to be in a consignment store near me. Rent is $200/mo at a 3mo contract. The problem with other retailers is that candles are so saturated, so unless I’m first in the shop, most consignment stores will not accept me. It is in a semi popular mall but I’m uncertain of the food traffic and if it’s the right demographic because it’s mostly upper/middle class/young professionals/families. I do feel the urge to physically get in front of customers though to work on my messaging, but the alternative is that I just booth at craft markets (each craft market is around $150-200 a day anyways). What questions should I ask the owner to make sure it’s the right fit?

I know you've probably considered this but I've bought countless candles from friends I've met here online. Is it possible to spin up a frame and pay in degen tips? I'm sure many of us would buy in support around these holidays etc. This wouldn't be in place of your consignment deal here but a supplement. Please let me know how to purchase regardless. I'm a candle buyer 🔥

I launched a degen frame actually in May/June but it had very low traction (maybe 2-3 sales). My theory is that the people who actually want candles prefer to pay in USDC/eth and are actually bigger buyers - like 2/3/4 candles at a time, so that exceeds the daily tip. The other problem is the volatility of the token and also verifying that the tip has gone through. I have taken tips for degen but charge 250%+ because the volatility, and waiting for the airdrop isn’t good cash flow. I am happy to take a tip from you at 250% in degen since I trust you. I hope you understand my reasoning! If not, you are always welcome to pay in eth/USDC at the regular price. And thank you for asking.

Awesome! I know it’s extra steps and takes more time, but I’d love to throw my tips at some physical products!

Okay, follow up question. Would you be willing to pay the 250% surcharge if you paid with degen tips? If not, what surcharge % would you be comfortable with? Or you wouldn’t be comfortable at all? My second question is, since I trust you, I’m happy to take your degen tips anyways. Saves me a lot of headache with the frame (2 weeks of work + $500 to develop it). What is meaningful to you about tipping thru frame vs. tipping by casting?

I don’t need to use a frame at all. Happy to just do it via casting. Any surcharge is fine because I know that the price fluctuates a lot and you have to wait until claim day, so that makes extra steps and risks for you.
