I actually love buying stuff which is not easily available, this has given me many ideas of starting new business of which a few are successful now.

Sometimes it's hard for someone within a system to conceive an idea which is obvious to the outsider and yes there will be many naysayers but if you know your idea can create value, you'll profit.

Could you give an example? I understand if you don't want to though.

construction comes to mind, equipment, materials, things usually sold only to companies. that would be interesting...a small crane shipped to your cottage.
