I'm considering selling cheap scooter parts (not good ones like sr forks or bars) in an online store far a small profit. Could some of you guys answer these questions for me?

1. Which of these wheels would you be most likely to buy, and in what color?
Low Profile 100 ($2.50)
Low Profile 110 ($2.80)
Yak 100 ($3.10)
Yak 110 ($3.35)
Low Profile 125 ($5.00)
Yak 125 ($5.75)

2. How much would you pay for a stock-like 125mm fork?

3. What headset would you buy (right combination of quality/price for you)?

4. What part (no metalcores) do you most need for your scooter?

5. Would you pay a $1 premium for pre-glued wheels?

I'm doing my best if I take off with this idea to not intrude on 24Seven or the SR store's turf here, but I thought paying twice as much for wheels as the wholesale price (at discountwheel) wasn't very fair.

1.110 or 100 low pros
2. 7-8 dollars just sell reg forks
3. Unsealed FSA pig, unsealed bmx headsets is pretty much all your gonna wanna sell because that's what most people wanna buy and it's cheaper
4. T-tubes, foam grips, i'm sure some one is gonna want axles, DECKS preferably b or pro model
5. no i can do it myself

Thanks a lot guys (keep answering), it looks like there's a bit of a demand for a general-purpose scooter store. My idea was to start a retail business at low profit to sell scooter parts I can get wholesale (yak wheels/the good fork they sell, razor parts) that's mostly online (Wisconsin riders can pick up stuff from me in theory too). Keep answering, and I'm looking into getting wholesale Pro decks and selling most of them and selling parts from the rest (since Razor doesn't sell many Pro replacement parts... boo razor).

MORE QUESTIONS:
6. How much would you pay for...
a. a reinforced Pro fork?
b. a B/Pro deck? (like the deck)
c. a ttube/stock bar with doubleclamp?
d. a whole Pro in-box?
7. What grips do you prefer?
