It's probably a bit different from the usual HN side-projects, but I sell stickers on the internet. A bunch of print shops went belly up during this spring and I accidentally won an auction for the machinery for a song.

So far I've been selling by word-of-mouth, and in September I started an Etsy store. I'm also building https://egnastickers.se, but that landing page alone made me €100 in sales.

I'm close to €1k in sales for October on Etsy and I'm racing to sell as much as possible before the end of the year when Brexit wipes out more than half my current customer base.

Probably you should start focusing your marketing efforts away from UK.

Why does Brexit wipe out your customers?

When Britain no longer is a part of EU I’d have to get an export permit and my British customers would have to pay import tariffs. It doesn’t make financial sense any more.
