About 3 and a half years ago, Danny decided to start an online store (Keebio) as an experiment to see how it would go. He had been into the mechanical keyboards hobby for about a year at that point and had already gone into doing custom builds and handwired boards.
In this last part of his rare, biannual/triannual series of posts he gives us an invaluable insight into the many aspects of running a shop.
Obligatory reading for all the wannabe store owners:
