There's a good chance that your home owners policy wouldn't cover your business inventory. That's another 25-50 transfers a year, at least.

You need 3 a year just to cover the FFL fees for the first 6 years. ($200 first 3, $90 second 3).

I suspect you'd be looking at at least $2-300 in fees just to form your business, that's if you hunt down all the requirements yourself. That's 10-15 transfers to cover those costs and many (if not most) states will have annual expenses to renew licenses.

You're looking at 175 transfers a year, for the first couple years at least, just to cover expenses. You might be able to cut back your advertising after that and reduce costs.
