My cousin's side of the family has owned a small business since 1951.
It's a retail shop of sorts. It's very low tech. I was over there today
with my brother and we started thinking about what it would take
to make the store work online as well as the Brick & Morter.

There is no database file of inventory, etc...

Other than a domain and a hosting company, what would it
take for them to sell their wares online?

thanks!

They might want to consider just starting out on Ebay.
Sell everything as "buy it now".
Low startup cost, but the transaction fees may add up.

it's seems like a lot easier than the other route. especially if you are not sure if thats something you want to get in to.
