Sell dart supplies at leagues and tournaments

League and tournament players who need replacements right away, bar and club owners who want boards and spares, and casual players who try your gear.

Retail sales at your table, plus special orders for boards and cabinets. Venues may also buy supplies from you for their own dart areas.

• Knowing darts and giving good advice
• Friendly selling to players
• Organizing stock and travel
• Basic bookkeeping

• Check your state's sales tax registration and whether you need a temporary or seasonal seller permit at events
• Check with your city or county for any vendor or business license requirements
• Get general liability insurance with product liability cover, as some events or venues may ask for proof
• Agree terms with the venue or organizers, since some charge a table fee or take a share of sales
• Event income can be uneven, so don't count on a fixed number of sales

Monthly revenue is typically around $400 to $3,000, depending on how many league nights and tournaments you attend and what players buy. Event income can be uneven, so don't count on a fixed number of sales.

Check your state's sales tax registration and whether events need a temporary or seasonal seller permit. Also check city or county vendor or business license rules, general and product liability insurance that venues may ask for, and agreed terms with organizers.
