[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1861812, member: 75105"]Take people who go to flea markets, they never know how much they will make. My freind is hardcore at flea markets. Some months he makes over $1,200, and some months he is lucky if he makes $200, and that's with the same amount of stuff! That's the issue with retail, you do not know if you will make money. If I have a website, I do not know how many people will visit it. I don't know if someone just inherited $15,000 worth of coins and needs 1,500 paper flips. You can't estimate volume in a retail setting. Even the place [B]I[/B] work for (Kmart), announced a couple months ago that black Friday sales were less than [I]predicted. [/I] It's really idiotic for the IRS to ask someone how much money you [I]think[/I] you will make. There's thousands and thousands of variables to expected income, you could get sick and not be open for a week, you could get snowed in for 3 days and not make it in,etc etc etc. If businesses could do a good job at predicting how much money they would make, then there would be no such thing as bankruptcy, which is usually based upon a business expecting a certain amount of sales and not getting them.[/QUOTE]
