The Adult Movie Industry!!

misterjover said: "Has anyone heard of PRVT? It's one of the only adult video stocks in the market, but I'm on the verge of creating a test-company that retails adult dvds online and throughout the Los Angeles area since I live in the San Fernando Valley, the western world's porno capital. Does anyone else find this industry fascinating? Since I can acquire brand new 2 to 4-hour movies for an amazing price, I'm thinking of selling them for about $3 a piece online and shipping them out of my garage via FedEx or DHL. Does anyone else have any ideas regarding this industry or is anyone familiar with this type of venture?"

Companies that benefit the most from porn are companies like Adelphia or SBC, who do the backhaul. Broadband would have never grown if it weren't for the adult industry."

Heather said: "I was watching a special about the Adult Industry a while back,(I can't remember the source) and they were interviewing some gentlemen that produce films. They said that there are no shortage of young women that want to be a "star" in films. They also showed a "clip" of an Adult trade show. It was sold out! There were people of all ages and walks of life. And of course, it is held in Las Vegas, Sin City. Money is always spent on the sins."

HappyHarry said: "There's no question it's big business. I mean, let's face it. There's plenty of publicly traded casino companies, and that business is about morally equivalent. There's huge cash sales in the porn biz."

ToastMonger said: "How do you have the ability to pick the vids up so cheap? Are you just buying in bulk or do you know the right people? The only other option would be that you are the star....and the reception of that would be weak."

HappyHarry said: "Does he really have the "star quality" necessary for that? :D"

scottigee said: "The demand in this industry is awesome...people will always be looking for porn. And by getting on the retail side of it you can determine whose you sell and switch it up based on what sells best. (get ready for some disturbing conclusions there....) If I were you and interested in retailing porn I would definitely use the internet distribution channel and sell both hard goods and downloads. If you controlled both channels you could incentivize with pricing and have more control over supply and demand. I don't know if I'd buy a publically traded adult industry company though...I'd have to see what their business model is. A lot of these are run by sleezballs who don't know dick about business (they just know the business of dick :D )"
