90 days.  That was after I "upgraded" to a merchant account and
the API's for use in shopping carts.

Before that I would have the money instantly.  I am also charged
$30 for the 'service'.

Yep, I had the same thought.  If I can build a rolling reserve of
cash large enough.  The good news is I get the interest on the
funds.

ADI is the only one I was thinking of dealing with on the
Honeywell-alarms.com site.  I was just going to sell wireless kits
and provide support for them.

I've had a run of bad luck with my shoulder first, now my back.
Its hard for me to do much physical labor anymore. As such, my
credit has taken a huge hit in the last 3 years being uninsured. I
make a little bit fixing computers, and I dumped the alarm company
because I didn't set it up right to begin with.  If I get another
gig as an IT contractor with HP here in Houston, I'm headed that
way.

If not, I may just build the store (using different software this
time) and see what happens.  I can go to ADI 2-3x a week to get
the product and ship it.  The drop-shipping may be nice for
larger, heavy, items.  I'd rather pack & ship my own, so I can
pre-program the panels and the wireless devices and include my own
notes for them.

I don't know if Honeywell will dislike the name or not, after all
I am selling their stuff. I'll make sure to notify people they are
not dealing with Honeywell, but a re-seller.
