About a year ago myself and two friends created a "Parent Company" for our sideline businesses. The name of the parent company is PJH Holdings. Pimps, Junkies, and Ho's Holdings.

I have basically two very separate divisions in the company. One is my main website and services business which is the majority of what I spend my time on.
I also sell on all the auction networks... Usually my unsold or overstocked equipment goes up there for quick profits. I keep my main division and the auction stuff totally separate.
The main reason for this is I provide next to no support after an auction sale is made due to the slim profit margins involved.
Another reason is that auction whores tend to be total whiny penny pinching jews from podunk towns in the midwest and if they can get a hold of me they think their entitled to me helping them on the phone for an hour explaing the intricacies of the cut and paste operation in MS Word and when I don't help them they get pissed because they bought a brand new computer for 20 percent less than what Dell is selling it for. Man I hate people on the auction networks, but it is a viable way to make money.
I was thinking about changing my name on the auction networks to "Ninja-Computers" and making all my ads ninja themed and comical to say the least.
Seriously, if you were cruising eBay for a computer would you buy from someone with a gimmick or would you be mored inclined to buy from someone average or with a more bland professional ad?
One of the keys to selling in the auction networks is keeping people on your add long enough to hook them for a sale... I was thinking a bit of ninja comedy my do the trick.
Thoughts?
As far as my main business I still haven't come up with anything. I wanted to go with Agilent Technlogies but it turns out that is already a massive company.
I also have been tossing around the idea of GlobalNet, LiveWire Systems, Techtallica Heavy Metal Computers...
Hmmm... ViagraTech could be good too... "Our computers are so great they give you a huge boner! bUY NOW A+++ seller!"
Cyberdyne systems was a fictitious business name in Terminator 2.
